I have this weird feeling that Trump....willl actually become the most fiscal conservative president and at the same time most liberal president on social issues. I wouldn't be surprised that he will be easily pursuaded by Democrats to focus on that. EXCEPT appointing a conservative supreme court judge...
To some, 8 years ago, the rise of oceans began to slow and the planet began to heal as the Messiah walked on earth.
8 years later some things he has done have been successful and others have not. That is what any rational individual with common sense should have assumed would be the case back then.
Now we have a similar situation. A man who has defied all expectations to date (except for a few) and who some believe can't do the job.
As he has done before, he will defy expectations, and they are so low that the surprises will be to the upside, and not the downside, unlike with Obama.
He has a different, more layman communication style and is nowhere near as eloquent as his predecessor, but he is razor sharp and has incisive acuity. His greatest skill is that he is continuously underestimated.
They have accepted it.
Doesn't mean they have to be happy about it.
More people in the U.S. voted for Hillary Clinton than for Trump. That is fact.
I agree. Trump doesn't care about abortion, LGBT rights, or whether weed is legal or not. If pushing through some of those issues keeps half the country quiet, so he had do what he really wants to in peace, then he will do it. Remember, he is a business man, and this is excellent leverage. That's why I don't think he will be the Hitler everyone is proclaiming. Hitler had a ideology, he had a masterplan. Trump doesn't have that. Trump has certain things he wants to do, yes, including trade and immigration, and partnering with Russia. But a lot of the issues Trump doesn't need care about. Yes, he had to say he was against abortion and read the bible to get the republican base behind him. That's just playing the game, every politician does that.
He has to temper his crudeness (he is no longer an entertainer, although a little entertainment from time to time in the top job is fine).
He is a New York Republican (sometimes Democrat) and is originally from Queens. Nothing to worry about here when it comes to social matters.
A silly little thing called "Freedom of Speech." Or in this case, Freedom of Song. Here, sing along why dontcha?
I haven't witnessed such needless hysteria since Y2K. Actually that isn't true, we witnessed something similar in June when everyone was certain that Brexit would trigger an immediate alien invasion and Godzilla to tear through the major cities.
Brexit
Trump
yes @Mendes4Lyfe
good one, the hysterical frantic panic in here is wildly amusing.
Regarding Europe: - I'm not so sure that Le Pen will win, but Hollande is not worthy of the top job imho. Merkel is, but she's on shaky ground, and I hope she can correct herself before she becomes unemployed.
As I was reading this thread, I have the news in the background and they are discussing the role of Facebook and other social media in spreading stories that are just untrue and they used this exact quote as an example.
Last night on Newsnight, there was a vey good discussion of how social media creates a culture of "confirmation bias" re the news where people just share and like material that fits in with their agenda rather than receive their news from a broader foundation.
don't want to sound like a kiss ass but honestly you are the only 100% sane, reasonable person in this thread.
One can only learn from you.
If this thread would give an MVP (most valuable poster) award it definitely would go to you.
If I can return the compliment, I really admire your passion and conviction on issues that are important to you and your ability to go against convention on occasion. It's a valuable trait. Don't ever lose it.
If someone means it or not, it still is offensive what he has said the past year @BondJames. I have been bullied a lot as a kid, and I know now that many people didn't mean to shout "Hey Beavis! Asshole!" at me. But the damage has been done in the past. I have seen a lot of child psychologists because of the fact that I have Asperger Syndrome.
It's basically the same with Trump now. As a little, uneducated kidd he bullied a lot of people. And in all honesty, I still think he should apoligize for that. That's called politeness. I don't care if he's from Queens. Many latino's, afro-americans and women simply aren't from Queeens. They have different personalities, are more sensitive. And Mr Trump needs to realize that.
Trump seems to be no Hitler. You have thought so all along. But it still can change. He seems to have his temperament in check for the moment. But the presidency is no Apprentice. Let's judge the man on his actions. Let's see if he doesn't start insulting again next year. Because we still aren't sure. And let's see if the man is polite and educated enough to fully apoligize for all the bad things he said.
And again, if you think it was amusing to see ' the hyperbole has gripped a lot of people', then perhaps you should have some respect for those people who seriously felt or still feel offended. That's not amusing. That's sad.
I wouldn't say Trump is left wing on many issues, that there is a lot that he simply doesn't care about. He has always been a economic candidate, primarily interested in sorting out the financial mess the country is in and giving people back their ability to be self reliant.
There are a few areas where a think the independant nature of Trump really reveals itself. No one was saying that letting Russia beat ISIS was a good idea, or that immigration was important until trump came in and championed those views. I actually really like Trumps position on foreign policy. He is not interested in petty flexing of muscles and silly posturing. He sees the potential for the US and Russia to cooperate (again, negiotation is his thing). But if there is to be conflict, he advocates a quick and brutal method.
Not a robot, more like a Vulcan. Or half Vulcan. ;)
Just look at this image of Trump again and it weirdly reminded me of Daniel Craig with his longer hair at the CR press conference.
There is still time, before Bond 25, for you to be convinced of that. >:)
BB will do that for us :)
Can just imagine Trump in the white house taking the piss out of his enemies before exacting some sort of political/military action.
It's kinda like that for many US citizens as well.
(There's always a connection. Figure it out or don't. Use your brain or use your mouth. Or in this case, your fingers...)
I am very anti-Trump, so trust me when I say that the statement in this meme, which has been floating around for months, has been proven false. Trump never said that.
Just trying to keep it real.

You win the war, you win the peace.
You want a peace of me?
