LOL.

As TP suggested, trump is winning so far in the fight against obesity :P

As far as the mess goes, I guess all the chubbies needed to carry take out to sustain them for their few block stroll and it's obviously too hard to walk to a bin when you're busy protesting. :wink:

He's governing with about a quarter of the potential vote, so he'd best be a little careful how he proceeds. He'll certainly be very good for big business - but so would a competent Republucan legislator have been. It remains to be seen whether the "trickle down" approach will produce enough benefit for the US's poor average white trash that sufficient numbers will vote for him a second time. Of course, theirs is a politics based upon disentitlement and hate, so it may be that it isn't necessary to make them better off - making ethnic minorities worse off might be all they need to feel vindicated.



I like how all the Trump supporters are labelled as stupid white trash etc....

Your argument lacks a degree of subtlety of thought - I certainly didn't say anything about "all" of Trump's supporters. My comment was about that particular part of the electorate and the challenge he faces in maintaining that vote.
Ah bullshit P4S.. you bag or mock everything I say and try to prove you're somehow superior... that's ok, I been around for a while, I enjoy your crap 8)

On reflection I think Ms. Judd has tied for the lead.


As much as I don't support Trump sections of the liberal left media are becoming as bad as Fox news.

It's tiresome and will get old fast.

He at least deserves a chance to fail first before he's hung, drawn and quartered. :wink:

Seriously what's wrong with Fox news?

They provide a "fair and balanced" view as long as you are a right winger!

Fair dinkum, it's the best laugh I get on TV these days..... :twisted: :P :lol:

Yeah get a bit confused by the relevance of the "popular" vote discussion when so many of the population didn't vote at all.
Also, Trump won the "popular" vote in 31 states 62% to Clinton's 38%.
Big business backed Clinton over Trump, they've become accustomed to cheap labour.

Trumps win is a reflection of the Democrats candidate. Sooner they accept that the better they will be.

It looked to me that a substantial amount of people who attended the women's march in the US were "well off and white". Not sure if this sent more of a message than what was sent at the election booths but its great that they have the opportunity and right to protest.
Be better if they could honestly and clearly articulate the "common message" perhaps even without celebrities. Be great to hear from the working class or even public servants in rescue, emergency services, military, food service, retail etc - people who live in the real world facing real problems. Especially with the media coverage they were always going to get.

This sounds like one of those alternate facts that's been getting around. :P

Fact is Trump comfortably won the electoral college (probably not by a landslide, though*), the only metric that really counts, but lost the popular vote (which seems like more than some footnote). He also won 30 states to Clinton's 20 (plus DC). A lot of those states are big geographically but small in terms of population, while a lot of Democrat-voting states in the east are geographically small but have big populations. Hence, a map probably makes it look like he won much more convincingly than he did.

Yeah, yeah.

Spin it which every way you want , the only alternate fact that counts is, Trump is President, Clinton isn't

Deal with it :P

Here's the map. http://www.nytimes.com/elections/results/president

Check out the red and where it is. It tells the story, it's hadrly a few great unwashed, rednecks, deplorables, white trash, etc.

Except for the coasts, middle america rejected Clinton and voted for change and were willing to take a punt on the one who offered something different that appealed, rather than more of the same.

When the snowflakes stop throwing the toys out of the cot in a tantrum and start analysing why they really got grabbed by the pussy, they might have a hope of reversing the result next time.

in the meantime, all they're doing is digging their own grave.

And no, I don't care, he's not my president, I just like watching cognitive dissonance bite people who think they're intelligent.

Stui, the ramifications of Trump's presidency are rather more significant than who gets to say they're a winner and who's a loser, and you're not 5. Some people may be in denial, but the vast majority of people rallying against him are very well aware of the real threat he represents and are right to demonstrate their opposition. If people are concerned about the direction their country is headed in, they should do something about it.
