The presidential election is not a sports competition, the only vindication is if the Duck's wall stops Mexicans getting in, if crime is abolished, if The Duck 'kills those ISIS guys', brings jobs back to the rust belt, and makes America great again.

Hopefully pussies around the White House will remain ungrabbed while this is going on.

actually its exactly that , in a age of social media and 24/7 TV , a sports competition ( or more correctly a reality TV programme ) , Trump know this better then anyone. Its matters not what you say in elections, his feet will not be held to the fire, he will campaign on a 2nd term exactly in the same way , ( blame others , fear etc )

I personally dont fear Trump, I certainly would've preferred Jeb Bush, but Id take Trump over Cruz and the other ideologues. ideologues are very dangerous people, Trump is a complete pragmatist , he has no moral compass , he will chop and change and " do the deal ".

Pence on the other hand scares me

Note ISIS is over , are you following the situation in Mosul, unfortunately of course , another group will take its place

It's only a by-comment at this stage, but Trump is now leading in Michigan and New Hampshire (iirc both were firm "blue" states). Looks like the Trump Democrats came out to vote.

Thank you. It's nice to know that "50% of women" did not in fact vote for Trump, but that 42% of women who voted ,voted for Trump.

From Brexit to US presidential elections, why is it always the left that seem to think democracy only works when it agrees with them.
Doubtless they've retreated to their gender neutral, politically correct safe spaces to huddle in groupthink self pity.

I suspect dismantling those safe spaces will do more for national unity then all the black lives matters protests in the world, because unity and equality are not, and never were, the goal of the left. With their intersectional politics and wittering about 'privilage', what the left are actually demanding is a new hierarchy, with a bunch of ideologues at the top poisoning the well of unity to promote intersectional interests.

Personally I think Trump is the wrong man for the job if dismantling all this nonsense, but people have had enough of the current madness. That'll be president Milo Yiannopoulos in 2020!

Agree with this 100%

I'm searching for a silver lining here and I'm struggling. Maybe The Duck won't be as bad as he came across in the campaign. Maybe he is the cleverest man alive and he realised the only way a Billionaire could convince the poor he was a man of the people was to approach the election with the rhetoric of a pub bore after 10 pints and a couple of chasers. Now that he is in, maybe he will have a load of positive ideas to boost trade and employment.

Nah, I don't buy it either.

Possibly, now that the Brits and the Yanks have fallen for snakeoil salesmen we should join in. If Enda called a snap election and we voted Gerry for Taoiseach, Richard Boyd Barrett as Tánaiste and Mick Wallace as Finance Minister we could just get all the crap out of the way in about four years. Waiting for the Duck to break the world, the Brits to break Europe and then, after all that grief, for the loony left to break Ireland will give us 20 years of hardship. Lets get it over with now, I say.

Its not much of a silver lining but its the best I can do. Just be grateful we are not the Baltic states. I would imagine Putin is already hearing the crys of oppression from their Russian minorities. This will become ever shriller if Europe refuses to pay 10's of Billions to keep the US Army in Europe when the Duck sends the renewal invoice with an extra few zeros on the end.

His own fan club will be disappointed, like those of Obama (actually,he was decent and hopefully history will remember that, at least on the International front) He may have a tough time with the two Houses getting policies through, GOP were not too crazy about him.

He is duty bound to uphold the Constitution, so he knows that he can not mouth off the way that he has done. I doubt he truly believed in a lot of what he said. He just knew what his public wanted to hear.

It will be only 4 years.

Fianna Fáil will lead the next government if FG mess up. Gerry and Sinn Fein have gone stale. RBB won't last long, his group are due to fall out soon over something silly like the name of the party (Judea People's Front/ People's Front of Judea) or cries of not "being radical enough"

Left Wingers will never completely rule Ireland. Never! Never! Never! Not win the economy is picking up

Don't think Pence will actually get to do much, unless someone assassinates Trump, in which case they'd honestly end up with someone even more repulsive to their beliefs for the rest of the term.

suicide_circus · 09-11-2016 12:12PM

has anyone used the phrase "butt hurt libtards" yet?

Walter H Price · 09-11-2016 12:12PM

Much adoo about nothing , trump will be a mouth piece hamstrug by a repulican house and sentate who for the most part openly dislike him and will protect the image of the GOP by blocking some of his dafter proposals.

I hope the US now join Russia in their war efforts in Syria , Clinton only would have brought tensions with russia for nothing over another failed middle easter state simply because she was heavily backed financhaly by the Saudis , Quataris etc...

I don't care what happens to Allepo so long as ISIS are wiped out , I believe president Trump will improve Russian American relations to the best they have been in decades

pxdf9i5cmoavkz · 09-11-2016 12:12PM

The upsides of Trump:
1) There's now a reduced likelihood that US-Russian tension in Syria will escalate into conflict or war, and
2) Compared to other Republican nominees who could have been, I suspect Trump will be less likely to sabotage the Iran nuclear deal (this may be wishful thinking).

The downsides of Trump:
1) Zero prospect of further liberalising the international trade system for the next four years;
2) Weakening the US-European alliance that has maintained peace in Europe since WWII, and possibly incentivise a more aggressive Russian foreign policy in the Baltics and Ukraine;
3) Possibility of a catastrophic trade war between the US and China;
4) Zero chance of increased international cooperation to slow climate change, and probably a reversal of the previous, tentative Paris Agreement.

They want to be grabbed by the giant Oompa Loompa with funny hair and the tiny soft hands.

China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Germany - from Termonfeckin to Tianjin, prepare for hordes of marauding, newly-invigorated Yanks rampaging around grabbing the total shit out of that there poo-say, Hell yeah!

Intel is one of the few multinationals that has money actually really investment in buildings or infrastructure.
The rest is office space.

And yes we know about data centres but they can be run from anywhere.

Like Brexit. The elites will spit feathers.

There is a slight.... slight chance they will learn from this.

People were tired of the status-quo.

Remember, the fringes do better when the center fails..... And it has failed.

Donny will serve 4 years and may well lose reelection, if he bothers to run.
But both the GOP and Dems need to take stock and start listening to people instead of sneering with contempt.

Political revolution can be a good thing & shouldn't necessarily be feared, whether it's britain, Greece, Spain or the US.

The elites will sneer & mock, but they have been rattled.

This is the exact thing.

A lot of Americans, and indeed Europeans, have been left behind by globalisation.

It is fine for the university educated working in the tech sectors who have jobs in the new west, but the ordinary grunts who used to get manufacturing or mining jobs have nothing often bar condescending remarks about how they need to upskill to be part of the new economies.

Also it is this cohort of people who are also fighting against the cheap labour offered by new immigrants.

The superiority of some of the political class is widespread throughout the western world.
Hell it is even easy to see around here where most of the political discussion has actually moved out of the politics forum because some discussions with uncomfortable and non pc/liberal points were shut down because it was felt the topics or discourse is not up to a certain standard. :rolleyes:

You even have posters here declaring on threads about Brexit how only third level educated people should be allowed vote or how referendums should not be used to decide important issues.

The media, the political establishment and political elite (and Trump is in no way part of the political elite - he is part of the business elite or business establishment) have taken a bloody nose just like what happened in the UK.
A lot of people are pi**ed with how the world is going and continously sneering at them will only make them even more entrenched.

Yes incumbent senators, republicans, etc were returned but the big one went to an outsider who really shouldn't have been within an asses roar of the job.

I know some who have predicted Trumps win and are also predicting Le Pen to win in France.

these companies are here to run their non US business, that cant be carried out from the US. ( including certain legal reasons )

And yeah, Johnson and Stein took in a good few votes. Mc Mullin in Utah took 20% of the state's vote.

That was Conor Cruise O'Brien BTW, not Charlie. But it does sum up what has happened - not quite unprecedented though i.e. Brexit. Le Pen in France up next?

But the people have spoken, life will have to go on.
