Hail To The Chief (Read Mod Warning In OP)

Modern Politics in the west, summed up by this election.

Bi-partisan is gone. No democrat will side with Thrump, just as Obama had before.

They will block acts just for the sake of it. Much like Europe where we strive to make everyone happy, while all the time we destroy our culture and identity in vain hope of multiculturalist Utopia.

I'm neither for nor against Thrump.I am for Nationlism, with legal migrations, I don't think open borders will work. We as a species are for ever to separatist.

Good luck to Trump in his role. Good luck to the states. Good luck to the illegal Mexicans, good luck to the illegal Irish. Good luck to Russia.

I don't think the Democrats have the numbers in either house to block anything!

The only hope I have out of what, at present anyway, looks like a car crash, it is that might teach us all and political parties in particular that this bi-partisan ship is against the true benefit of the country (whichever that is). For any company/organisation etc to succeed you need everyone working on the same page. It all fine to argue your point and make your case but once the decision is made then get on with it.

Maybe that might happen.

Sky News - "The source of the dossier making allegations about U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has been named as former MI6 officer Christopher Steele."

Hopefully that puts an end to all that deflection nonsense about 4chan.

Why, did he violate some lése majesté law against "m'God-Emperor"? :pac:

4chan only ever claimed to be involved in order to discredit the dossier. They are not involved in any way.

Why? There's no evidence he leaked it at all.



btw everyone, here's the BBC's history of the dossier

So are Putin and the boys giving each other high fives in the Kremlin?

have they masterminded this for years?

The allegations in that report are a little more serious involving the Kremlin holding blackmail over him and his team corroborating with them. The American intel agencies are investigating these claims.
He has just tweeted that ha has no ties with Russia but this would seemt o tell otherwise:

Also, the FBI sitting on this investigation while rushing to publish a technical reopening of an investigation with Hillery is potentially just as big.

Practically all Trumps picks are very friendly to Russia and Russian interests. You could almost say Putin couldn't have a better US administration to deal with. Almost as if he picked it himself.

There is far too much smoke there. The golden showers aspect may or may not be true. I think people would be naive to believe Trump has not used prostitutes and his attitude to women is ... abnormal to say the least. Either way his links with Russia, Russia's assistance to Trump by tactically leaking DNC mails, Trumps handpicked Russia friendly team, and his almost pathological fear (?) of criticising Putin all point to a compromised POTUS. All unverifiable but people can see what is happening.

I think America may have good cause to appreciate the wisdom of its founders in using institutional checks and balances to limit the abuse of office by a POTUS. The Republicans have a majority but Trump is not a Republican President, and both know it. It is amusing to sit back and watch Trump engage in regular humiliating meltdowns and denials. The fake news and leaks that propelled him to the White House are cruel and fickle.

Now I missed the conference earlier but WTF?? That's like a SNL skit but it actually happened!! Will Trump even last a month in office before they impeach him or something?

But, like Brexit, this is what happens when you insult and ignore the will of the masses.

I really think snl will have trouble if this goes on much longer. They will have trouble coming up with skits darter than reality. Guys like John Oliver who report these things in an amusing way won't have to put much work into their segments anymore though. Just read out what has happened lately and it will be comedy gold.
