When you say "your" who are you talking to? Me or Renaeden? We are both Aussies.

I was addressing the Americans, at that juncture,

I figure that a post here doesn't need to be personal, especially not on an issue like this, which intersts everybody, and effects everybody to some degree.  Just because my observations followed on from yours and Ren's doesn't mean I have to restrict myself to talking to you and Ren, does it? The Americans will probably read it too.

I dunno. I think he is better than Hillary but it was a pretty poor choice. Like when we had Gillard and Abbott. I held my nose and went Gillard and I really disliked her, but Abbott was worse.
 
Agreed about the poor choice. Tha';s one thing that most of us can agree on!

Oh! I just recalled this really funny quote from Douglas Adams (So Long and Thanks for All the Fish)


   
Quote
“On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people.”

    “Odd,” said Arthur, “I thought you said it was a democracy.”

    “I did,” said Ford. “It is.”

    “So,” said Arthur, hoping he wasn’t sounding ridiculously obtuse, “why don’t the people get rid of the lizards?”

    “It honestly doesn’t occur to them,” said Ford. “They’ve all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they’ve voted in more or less approximates to the government they want.”

    “You mean they actually vote for the lizards?”

    “Oh yes,” said Ford with a shrug, “of course.”

    “But,” said Arthur, going for the big one again, “why?”

    “Because if they didn’t vote for a lizard,” said Ford, “the wrong lizard might get in.”

That's okay. I just saw we were both quoted and it did not seem to fit both of us together or singularly.
I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

I am disgusted and scared shitless.  However, it is what it is.  The news guys are saying that this is a movement, not a campaign.  There was talk that Trump ran as a Republican to ensure that Clinton was elected.
That this whole thing went wrong.

Being autistic, I don't always read faces correctly.  But it did seem that he was more subdued, more aware of the awful blow Fate handed him.  And that is what it is.  He joins an elite club of men who can change the world.  In the end whatever happens to us, it will fall on him.  The good, the bad, the ugly.  He will have to take responsibility for America, his life and his legacy.

I just want this bitterness and hatred between the parties to end.  Find SOME common ground.  Democrats and Republicans an Independents and everyone else will have to work together or we will perish.  "United we stand, divided we fall." 

Stay Calm and Have Faith.  That's all we've got.

I think part of his appeal as an outlier and outsider was his promise to drain the swamp. I think that an active push to purge the ranks of the most corrupt establishment types may be best. Not JUST in one party or the other. The we will see just how good his much talked up negotiation skills are, because I feel he will have a lot of bridges to mend and a lot of negotiating to do.

First big hurdle will be Russia.

Hilary Clinton got pretty much half of the popular vote, but nobody likes Hilary Clinton, apparently. Okay, sure. Whatever you say. :wanker:

I'd say most of the people would vote Democrat whoever was in charge.  It shows how hated and untrustworthy she is that she got smashed by Donald Trump.  A lot of people were voting against Trump too rather than for Clinton.

Try and educate yourself a bit regarding Clinton, then you won't be as upset.  She's a lying psychopath and could have led you to war with Russia.

Walkie- I think you get confused by left and right.  Trump is right wing, socially and economically.  Some of the people here you talk about being on the right are just right wing economically but are neomulticulturalists and demand mass immigration.

Yeah, i know that Trump is right wing, because
A) he's a Republican (that's their right-wing party, right? Like the Tory party here), and
B) It's written all over him.
I don't know where I suggested otherwise? 


As for neomulticulturists, well, I see no contradiction whatsoever in right-wing "multiculturism". Free movement of labour is very good for industry (in terms of reducing wages etc) and also supplies a ready source of scapegoats, if required. Also, anyone who sees through that scam and grumbles about it can be easily dismissed as racist...just  so long as they're white (and if all you get to see is the bare statistics, then it's easy-as-pie to assume they're all white).

But then you live in the South, right? So you don't get to mingle with so many of Brirtain's poor folk as i do, because the South belongs to the relatively sucessful, by-and-large. Well, believe you me, we come in all colours, and most of the recent immigrants are as alarmed and depressed by the situation they find themselves in as the natives are; and nobody wants more and more people pouring into London, only to be shunted up North when they can't pay their rent.   People are losing their homes because they can't pay their rent up here, too. There are quite simply not enough homes, not enough work, not enough resources, not enough of anything to go round.

And i'm not just talking theoretically, out-of my arse. I've worked alongside  immigrants of all races and watched most of them  go from bright-eyed-and-bushy-tailed, cos they've come to the "Land of Opprtunity" to anxious and depressed within a matter of weeks, as they figure out that it takes something more than a willingness to work hard to make it in this country; and that whatever it takes they haven't got it. I've also come within a hair's breadth of being out on the street myself. Twice.  Once whilst working, then once again after having my benefits stopped.

You think immigrants are grateful to share in our "privileged lifestyle"?  No, they're not, aside from the minority who manage to become hammers rather than nails. They are human beings just like the rest of us, and they usually do figure out that they've been had.  And they usually do very much n notice that they are being treated like dirt by the bosses... not because they're immigrants, I hasten to add, but just because most  bosses can and do treat unskilled workers like dirt (There always plenty more queing up to take their place, if they don't like it).  And they do find the prospect of dying of cold on the streets every bit as  as discomforting as you or I would.

I've had African and Middle Eastern people tell me -in shocked tones- "This is slavery" . They might have  had it really hard , in various ways,  back home, but at least they got treated with respect.   It's really interesting to get an outside perspective on that kind of thing. We native Brits have serfdom in our blood, and are more accepting of exploitation and mistreatment than most of those immigrants are.

Read some more posts of IQ, before assuming she is a big fan of Clinton.

I did ed-u-ma-cate myself regarding Clinton :tard:...and the thing is 85% of our politicians are lying psychopaths.

I didn't want either one actually.

...and as for a war with Russia, now they have no need for conflict of any sorts...don't you think the one of the easiest ways to control a country is to endorse an idiot to run it?

All hail our new leaders leader.

So if you didn't want Clinton you had another 280 million people to choose from.  And Trump was the best you could come up with?

You don't mind the racism?
You don't mind the misogyny?

Just what is it about his personality that you so much admire?
Ever got that feeling that you're trying to teach a dog a card trick?
