    That was one Stephen Moore, seemingly Trump's senior economic advisor. And if he thinks that, or if he thinks that they're actually going to be able to get their corporate tax rate down to anywhere remotely near 15%, he's a bigger loon than Mike Spence. :D

    Great post. It's nice to know there's some understanding for the kinds of reasons people voted for him.

    Actually funny you say that.

    I can also see the same reasons behind a lot of voters backing Brexit.

    But I know it might be seen as being more palatable to some, usually the ones not affected by the new global order and the ones who have EDUCATION, if we just lumped them all in as backward, uneducated, racist, xenophobic thickos :rolleyes:

    I am not allowed discuss …

    Hmmm...... Good point, wouldn't want to trigger them.
    It really is the funniest aspect of political correctness when you think about it :D

    I think the offence would be for people with intellectual disabilities being considered as stupid as the people on Stormfront.

    We have to remember people America declared its Independence from Britain in Pennsylvania a state that went the Republican way this time courtesy of Donald Trump, Philadelphia former capital of America so it makes perfect sense he would be contacting many Nations around the world before getting round to the UK.

    Bet Stephen Moore also thought Trump would get elected President.

    It's just not particularly nice to use the word as if retarded is a synonym for a stupid, horrible person.

    I don't believe *they* are either, at least none that I know who decided to vote for a brexit, but I suppose we don't want to open a new can of worms here :D

    Well, theoretically some of the electoral college could just decide in December to vote for Clinton instead.

    I'd say you could make ice cubes in the oval office right now from the atmosphere alone.

    Absolutely bizarre to see Trump in the white house.

    The first thing that springs to mind whenever I hear that word is ignition, so 'pologies for the liberal use of the word.

    Trump already showing he wants to abolish Washington cronyism. He has created a site greatagain.gov where "identifying and recruiting the finest men and women from across the country to serve in his Administration."

    The website says it will be used to staff a variety of positions throughout the federal government, including senior positions requiring senate confirmations. 
    "Appointments that require Senate confirmation include the Cabinet, subcabinet, members of regulatory commissions, ambassadorships, judgeships, as well as members of numerous advisory boards."

    Seem's a pretty unusual way to recruit your Administration.

    the problem with stormfront is not stupidity, its pure unbridled hate, not trying to give them credit but to brush them off as ''just stupid'' is a grave underestimation.

    It emerged the US President-elect has spoken to the leaders of nine other countries - Egypt, Ireland, Mexico, Israel, Turkey, India, Japan, Australia and South Korea within 24 hours of his victory.

    Number 10 could not tell reporters when - or if - a phone call was currently scheduled for Mrs May to speak with Mr Trump.

    So going along your argument and the arguments of some other posters.

    He phoned Mexico to tell them start getting the concrete ready.

    He phoned Israel to give them the go ahead to start building condos in West Bank.

    He phoned South Korea and Japan to tell them that the days of their products coming in cheap to US is now finished and they can stick their Samsung Notes.

    I know he has tweeted in 2011 that Australia is a beautiful country with terrific people who love America so he must be just saying hi to them.

    He probably phoned Turkey to tell them Fetullah Gulen is going to be on his way.

    Supposedly Egypt's Sissi was the first leader to call Trump.
    Obviously he is happier to have him to deal with than Clinton who managed to royally screw up the neighbourhood with her Facebook and Twitter Arab spring revolutions.

    India's Modi called Trump so not other way around.
    Maybe he just wanted to hear him do an India Call Centre imitation ?

    And back to Enda.
    From what I read Enda managed to make sure he is getting a tour of the Trump redesigned White House.

    The Brits should know that Trump only has a hankering for good looking young wans and he won't be pushed about having contact with May.
    Same goes for that grumpy interferring old cow in Berlin.

    I'd say if Silvio Berlusconi was still in the picture, they would be organising one hell of a get together.

    I am not allowed discuss …

    Ah, I'm not trying to brush them off, I'm just trying to insult them as much as possible because they're pricks.

    Life's bizarre man!! life's bizarre :D

    What I secretly think, is (with them emails out a week before election) he was helped to get in, but that's just my conspiracy theory, in my head and left ass cheek


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,678 ✭✭✭lawlolawl


    I think Trump winning broke the New York Times.

    It's still the main headline on their front page :D

    Why don't you send me a PM and we'll discuss it. From any of your numerous accounts. I doubt people want to wade through your sh*t again.

    Ah here Dav, I know we have our differences on the Pakistani rape gangs that were allowed to rampage through England, the mass sex assaults in Cologne, and the disturbingly high level of rape in Sweden, all of which you dismiss as 'sh*t' (because the victims are white?) but can't we put aside our differences, just for now, to celebrate the magnificent achievement of the Donald?

    Even though I hoped he lost, there's an enjoyable element of soap opera to it now.

    Meeting Obama in the white house after all the stuff they have said about each other....kind of compelling stuff.

    Very much the diplomat in that press conference with Obama. I wonder how his supporters react when he backtracks on all the nonsense he promised during his campaign.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,838 ✭✭✭✭Water John


    Trump looked as if he had been hit by a bus in the press conference.
    I think his briefing from Obama was a real wake up call. What the hell have I got into.

    Lol Brexit mark II sore losers out in force. Maybe they should give lessons in colleges about how voting works. instead of safe spaces.

    So weird seeing Trump in the White House. Had to laugh he was like the bold boy in class pretending he has all his homework done and understands what the teacher is saying

    And now, when no one's looking, he's going to rub his testicles all over the oval office curtains.

    It's either too hot or too cold in the oval office. ;)
