Politics Who do you want to see win the US election?

[Barry_Badrinath]

Had a hunch that the mostly male/white Bigfooty crowd would have a Trump majority
...and that hunch was right
Devastated.

Have a look at some of those census polls that various posters have put up. If elections were held on bigfooty the greens would win in a landslide.

How embarrassing

So Obama is succeeded by a President that was endorsed by the Ku Klux Klan.

Cotch's dog Kouda is a white supremacist and a fully badged up member of the KKK.

8 years of one Administration is enough, whichever side of politics you are.

Trump's win was due to a voter revolt against immigration laws not being enforced, work/residency visa abuse, globalism/FTAs outsourcing American jobs, and a poke in the eye to the entrenched political elite/apparatchiks and their corrupt enablers who see only the east and west coasts.

Time now to drain the swamp.

With him pledging to throw Hillary into prison and building a wall between the US and Mexico (and having Mexico pay for it) it will Interesting times ahead to how that turns out.

I'm not up with the lingo. What does SSDD mean?
In the end the wall and locking Hillary up were some of his main promises that he continually repeated.

All the alternatives after the French Revolution were worse, but the Ancien Regime could not go on.

Trump.

I now await the Thermidor Reaction.

 

[medusala]

why did they put the capital of the EU in Brussels anyway, was it some compensation for having NATO based there? Meds?

As per Canberra ie not Melbourne or Sydney. Still the white flag wavers maintain at incroyable expense another parliament at Strasbourg.

the deep state is definitely a thing. I reckon Trump is a lot less beholden to it than Hilary is. That is why basically the whole media, Wall St and even most of the Republicans are against him. He can't be controlled in the same way as the Clintons, the Bushes and Obama could.

Read interesting article this week on a plane about the Clintons. When they moved to NY after the white house Bill was knocked back at three golf courses (and amusing Trump gave him membership of his club). They were desperate to mix with the establishment, whereas Trump was indifferent. Goldmans etc gave Hilary more than money but they allegedly got their pound of flesh in return (or future markers).

Lol at social democrat sorts extolling the virtues of Hilary (and Obama for that matter). Taleb nailed it.

Goldman Sacks
Syrian Jihadis aka "rebels"

Meh I think the truth is in the middle somewhere. Not sure she would've been phased about ditching the Saudi's, Syria was going to be a cluster* regardless of what she chose to do. Goldman Sachs and the swanning around the elite is more on the ball though, and any and every academic jumped on board as soon as she was up against Trump due to her not being Trump.

It was only 8 years ago she was trying to wedge Obama by being pro-gun and anti-gay marriage, issues which she championed as though she'd believed in them for decades...

Still a better alternative to what we're about to get.

 

[jatz14]

Donald Trump, Billionaire in love with being a billionaire, proud of not paying taxes, convinces disenfranchised American workers, who haven't benefited at all from productivity gains in a decade, that he represents change.

I think he is right, he represents change, however having someone put an icepick through your eyesocket is also change.

Hope its not a case of, beware what you wish for, because you might just get it.

I feel for KissStephanie today, GuruJane not so much, ever since GJ jumped the shark, flounder, brim, perch, cod, cuttlefish, salmon, tuna, whiting, and whale, in an extraordinary graceful piece of ballet gymnastics and calisthenics that would do the kama sutra proud. And all for Tones, and Moby Dick, and Herman MElville

Just build the bloody thing. Could be an infrastructure project?

Paying for it could be an issue. And of course Mexicans have never thought of ladders.

And I thought lefties loved symbolic rhetoric.

Simple fact in USA like Australia, if people are that desperate for survival and see a way out they will flee and do anything to survive. Including hiding amoung the masses. And working to live. Nothing some right wing gheezer or sloganeering from PMs will ever stop. They are simply out of touch.

Americans love illegals anyway. Who else can you pay 10c an hour to lord it over and have cheap servitude. Who else will make iPhones for $2 an hour provided they don't suicide. Prosecute these people and you may have my attention.

the building industry will lobby if they cant get the 40dollars US a day day-workers, or farm workers for picking and bringing in the season fruit and veg harvest.

wont happen. They cant have their Walmart prices without defacto indentured day labour.

Do it then. The US voted for Trump to blow the broken system up. So do it. Produce local and pay local. Mark ups won't be as high but start a new system.

mark-ups? The economy requires that cheap workforce from illegal workers from central(mexico and other central nations) and south america nations.

Hence they produce cheap and their products are sold at a mark up. If Trump really wants to manufacture locally and create jobs. Do it. But it means the middle class can no longer pay Mexicans 2c an hour to produce what they want.
