Well sad mate.

No, you're quite right there. I really have no idea why people would prefer a man who supported the same use of force his opponent did, albeit not politically AND openly advocates fucking war crimes, over the woman who has actual experience in what the political machinations of conflict entail. It's very glib to suggest that she "happily" voted for these things as well. Also,Trump's party is FAR more bellicose than Clinton's, so referring to her history on that point doesn't hold up if one is making a moral decision.

I don't understand why people want to scrutinize one person's potential scandals so closely and leave the other person's very obvious and public scandals to one side. Where there's smoke there's fire you say? Trump is shrouded in ACTUAL flame. He has been caught numerous times and things continue, weekly, to be unearthed, but the establishment sucks, so we'll overlook that and see if we can make these Clinton scandals stick and spend millions of taxpayer dollars to do so.

The global elite? He IS the global elite. Just ask him. Not an ounce of humility or remorse or humanity in him. So, no, I don't grasp why the people who voted for him don't care about that. I'll say it again, that I'm all in for changing things and blowing it up since this is what it's come to, but why people think THIS is the guy who's gonna do that? He may well, but I don't see anything to suggest it will happen the way they think he's going to.

And why the FUCK should I, or ANYONE deal with a racist President in 2016? That's just stupid. It advocates it at the highest level. Here...

There is fear now. Day fucking one and don't tell me that this is isolated or a small percentage. When you give a bully an opening, this is the kind of shit that happens. He can talk about unifying and all that rot, but these types of people think it means something very different than those of us who are mortified that he is now in office.

And just something else that popped into my head today...

If you think for a second that the majority of people who voted Trump over Clinton had her record of voting for military action on their mind, you are SERIOUSLY over reaching for what people in this country care about. Those people don't not give fucking FUCK about what happens outside of this country if it doesn't affect them. They are all for conflict if it's done in the name of squashing a threat to their own well being, but they couldn't tell you the first thing about any other conflict. They only cite Clinton's history to try and put her on the same plane of inhumanity as Trump, but believe me, they really don't care.

Glib?

Clinton on trashing Libya:




Her record speaks for itself. There isn't a single US intervention in the past 30 years she hasn't supported. Even Sir Drone-A-Lot didn't want to invade Iraq (because it would have drawn resources away from the Afghanistan quagmire). Christ, even Trump managed to realise that being seen to slag off the Iraq war in public made for good press (yes, I know he supported it at the time).

Why you want to draw attention away from her record is beyond me.
She's everything G.W.Bush rightfully drew flack for from the left in the 2000's. Why anyone happily complies with the whitewashing of her record is beyond me.



Wrong yet again.
It was a Democrat administration that invaded the Dominican Republic, Haiti and Nicuragua.
It was a Democrat administration that entered America into WW1 and WW2.
It was a Democrat administration that decided to join a coalition of western troops to Russia to crush the Revolution.
It was a Democrat administration that invaded Mexico in 1910.
It was a Democrat administration that decided to drop the bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki
It was a Democrat administration that launched military action in Korea,
It was a Democrat administration that nearly launched a nuclear war with the Soviet Union over fucking Cuba,
It was a Democrat administration that sped "military advisers" into South Vietnam under the American Left's favourite pin-up, and led it into full blown war under Johnson. And found the time to bomb the shit out of Cambodia and Laos at the same time.

Yes, the Repubs are filled to the brim with brain-dead Pax Americana war hawks but let's not gloss over the fact that the Dems are just as bad, if not worse on this count.




There is an anti-establishment mood in a lot of the electorates of the world, from the Philippines to Poland. Rigging an internal election so they can stick the living embodiment of this establishment in front of an electorate and call a good section of her potential voters a "basket of deplorables" is a suicidally stupid move.

As I've said before, his voters know he's a dickhead. They just see him as a bully that they can use to beat up other bullies. Bullies who happily promote unpopular trade deals (take a bow, Clinton!). Why the democratic party couldn't easily disabuse them of this notion remains to be unseen.

It's the DNC who deserve your anger, not the voters. Continue on that path and you'll just repeat the same mistake that lost your side an entirely winnable election.

Perhaps if the Dems had actually gone after his terrible business record and his shitty hiring history the way they gouged Mitt Romney over his business practices with Bain Capital, they might have clinched it. Instead they devolved into shitty personality politics and identity nonsense. Ho hum.



You mean like one that screams about border walls every chance they get?

And in a country filled with 300 million people, this sort of thing goes on every day long before Trump went on the campaign trail. The only difference being is that under Trump you actually hear about it. It was always there under the surface and it always happened.

We will always have horrible people with horrible opinions. This will never change.



He made a connection with the losers of globalisation in a way his opponent didn't even bother to do. This much is unmistakeable. Even Sanders managed that whilst Hilary didn't even campaign in some of the rustbelt states because she thought she had them in the bag.

Again, Democratic party screw-ups are the culprit.

A party that pitches itself as a party of the underdog that cannot make any sort of meaningful connection with said underdogs, instead branding them all brain-dead neo-nazis one Trump speech away from burning down the nearest mosque is a party not fit for purpose. End of. Y'know, like this:



Why won't these brain-dead, inbred racist hicks (some of whom voted for Obama twice and voted Sanders in the primaries) vote for who I fucking well order them to vote for? Don't these stupid banjo-strumming bastards realise what's good for them?

Why the Dems lost. And deserved to. In one easy paragraph.

Who would you vote for, a looney or a warmonger? Whoever you vote for humanity loses.

I'm pretty much from a working class background, I pick the candidate with the lowest taxes.

The loony.

Might as well have an entertaining apocalypse.

The biggest problem is clueless fat fucks like Michael Moore drummed into peoples heads that Trump is like Hitler and that he will overturn Roe Vs Wade, that he will take women's rights back to the 1930's etc. These people have zero clue about how democracies actually work.

Michael Moore is one of the most odious cunts around. A bloated self righteous loser who has made tens of millions of dollars pushing liberal propaganda to clueless centre left Anglos who have swallowed his bullshit without questioning or researching it.

I'm glad that social relations are becoming more antagonistic. The time for civility is done.

Interesting, for once, article on the BBC looking at Jesse Ventura and Arnold Schwarzenegger as outsiders who won political office on a very similar message to Trump and how it worked out for them - both lost significant ground as the machine ground down their policies. It makes you wonder how his four years will pan out when he finds all he wants wont get pass congress

Donald Trump met with Kanye west today

Why?

If you reach critical mass of total cunts like that then hopefully they will implode.

KKK! Kim Kardashian Klan.

Can never get a civil answer in this place.

Obviously a reliable source...

Jesus, he has delusions of grandeur.

To be fair, as did Trump...

I believe it is partly about performing at Trump's inauguration.

Exactly. I'm ruling nothing out anymore. President Kanye 2024, sure!
