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

    If Hillary had have won her, Bill and Obama could have celebrated with cigars and everything in the Oval Off........... oh, yeah :(

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

    People may not vote the same way as you. The candidate you don't like might actually win :D

    lol, or that Nibiru is due to breeze by during 2017, which may explain some of the reports of large scale, low-humming, late night, drilling sounds across many remote places.

    I take it any pet cats in the Oval Office have been ushered away to safety. ;)

    Actually, I know this is off topic, but I often wondered if the old story of Noah's arc and the "Great Flood" was based on something far more tangible. Like experience...

    The great flood, if it happened, seems to have been placed as happening up to 5 thousand years ago, which places it similar in line to the some estimations of the orbital period of a certain unknown planet....

    The moon drags up a certain amount of water in a "wave" around the Earth, due to it's mass, gravity etc etc..
    What if a much larger mass, with much larger gravity drifted by? Not close enough to hurt us, but enough to drag far, far more water around the earth, raising sea levels along the plane it takes as it passes by (lets say the equator, for simplicity), raising sea levels by, say 15 or so meters on the equator, and dropping them naturally towards the poles/other side of the earth, flooding pretty much any land from the equator outwards, and around the earth on that plane as the water redistributes afterwards?

    It wouldn't be as dangerous now, of course. We'd know month's if not years (probably debunking everything ive said...) in advance and we'd well, move to where the ocean won't for a while, but the thought has always interested me...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,586 ✭✭✭4068ac1elhodqr


    lol, it's hardly as if they've just announced in recent years the discovery of a Planet X on an irregular orbital circuit is it?

    Ah hold on...

    The Flood is a theme through many religions and tales.
    It's some where in the folk memory.

    I heard it phrased very well earlier on today.

    Not everyone who voted for Trump is a bigot. But all the bigots voted for Trump.

    Unfortunately with Trump's those bigots feel vindicated, they believe the majority share their views when in reality the majority don't.

    We saw the same thing happen in Britain on a smaller scale after the Brexit vote and a similar increase in hate crime.

    Trump Day 1


    Just a tiny handful of the things happening.
    The president is a racist why not the kids?



    School kids chanting build the wall in the lunch hall. Latino children leaving in tears. http://www.lbc.co.uk/hot-topics/us-election/american-schoolkids-chant-build-the-wall/

    White Students in DeWitt, Michigan formed a physical wall of students to block Latino kids from entering the school

    Students yelling 'cotton picker,' heiling Hitler at this local school

    Parents at Shasta High School in Redding California said white kids brought "deportation letters" for Latino students.

    Southern Illinois University (@SIUC) students decided to put on blackface and pose in front of a Confederate Flag to celebrate Trump

    Muslim women afraid to wear headscarves men taunted and screamed at in gas stations.

    Also, this is all happening in Obamas America.

    Trumps election is a simply a reaction to the extreme identity politics that have taken over the US and other developed countries.

    what about the white-male hating blm biggots? doubt they voted for him now!

    think this is an overly simplistic and ultimately wrong view. any person that hates someone based on their religion, race or gender is a biggot, not just the white ones

    A win for democracy? Maybe. A loss for HRC.... Meh. The biggest loser here is equality!

    Some voters voted for the wrong reasons yes but you have to consider that going into this election plenty of people voted independent which was a wasted vote essentially. These people know fully well why they voted, give a message to the establishment. The question is will the media listen or continue to shower these people with insults. Two states went fully independent and all the rest went according to tradition. I actual was of the view that Trump was going to win California and New York with Hillary getting the Deep South.

    A question for those who wanted Trump... Now that he has actually won, what do you want him to do over the next four years?

    Improving relations with Russia would be the obvious one from many in here, but after that... what specific things do you expect from him? If we were to fast forward to 2020, what would you deem as the things you would expect him to enact?

    Building the wall?

    Eliminating all corruption from Wall Street?

    Banning Muslims from 'terror states' entering the US, and specifically which nations that should pertain to and not pertain to?

    Getting rid of Citizens United re elections?

    Making abortion illegal?

    Getting rid of Obamacare - and if so what would you replace it with?

    Repealing Gay marriage?
    Increased personal freedoms, and if so which - guns? Marijuana? Others?

    Bringing jobs home and introducing penalties etc on companies who hire people overseas? Any specific industries or all?

    Protectionism against imports in the event of returning manufacturing home, so that American companies don't have to compete with those from other nations who can offer the same (for example) smartphone at a fraction of the cost?

    Increasing or decreasing corporate taxes? Changing the personal tax system and if so in which way(s) - lower taxes all around, lower taxes on the poor, higher taxes on the rich (and what would constitute 'rich') and so on? Keep in mind that what he can and cannot introduce introduce needs to be balanced out by income entering the country, e.g. That the book need to balance.

    Increasing or decreasing welfare and subsidies, and if so who to? The unemployed (who it had to be remembered made up a larger chunk of his voter base in the rust belt, deprived rural areas, etc), or elsewhere?

    Increase certain areas of spending, or decrease - and which? Military? NASA and sciences? Others?

    Kicking out all illegal immigrants immediately? And if so, how to implement it? And if using a task force going door to door, school to school, business to business etc like (if I recall) he suggested in recent months, where to get the money to fund it from?

    And of course, anything else that you want or expect from him over the next four years not mentioned in this post.

    I'm not being smart here, I am genuinely interested as he has now win the election so it is worthwhile to see what those happy either the result expect to see over the next four years in order to make them feel vindicated come 2020. The republicans now control the house, the senate, the supreme court and the oval office so he does not have any democrat controlled areas of government to get in the way of his pushing for what he wants done, so I really am curious what people who were in favour of him want to see him do with it.

    I checked the dictionary definition of 'bigot':
    "A person who strongly and unfairly dislikes other people, ideas, etc."

    I can think of a lot of Hillary supporters who fit that definition. I've seen many posts on twitter from them about how white people are to blame for everything wrong in the world (in less colorful language)
