He's also a very stupid man. He's the worst kind of person and really deserves a very severe beating. Afterwards he should be taken out back and shot and his repulsive body thrown in to a ditch. Imagine actually believing any of his shit. His 'draining the swamp' rhetoric was always moronic nonsense. He's done the exact opposite, as he was always going to do. I despise anyone who votes for this cretin. They are monumentally stupid and horrible people with very ugly souls indeed. Stop pussyfooting about and tell us what you really think about him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEADOWXI Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I had to watch that press conference three times to take it all in. How anyone can say that Trump is not mentally unstable is beyond me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How anyone can say that Trump is not mentally unstable is beyond me. He's just not been used to having people challenge him and him not getting his own way. Throughout his life he's been able to spend his way out of trouble or dish out some cash to make things go away when the tough gets going but he;s in a position where he is, rightly or wrongly, challenged on everything he does and he can't deal with it at all. I remember reading a WP piece on him a while back and how he used to make deals for golf courses or hotels etc. but he was never central to the deal. He just ponied up the dough and had folk deal with all the complexities. He got pissed when things took too long but because he never faced any of the difficulties himself he doesn't have a grasp for handling delicate situations with any kind of calmness as we've seen so often during his presidency. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Trump could soon get the chance to stack the Supreme Court even further to the right. Ruth Bader Ginsberg has had a fall, breaking 3 ribs. At her age, 85, there's a fair chance of her developing pneumonia and popping her clogs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of enjoying some form of retirement, she'll be thinking about how she hangs on until 2020.

It also seems symptomatic of how many businesses are run these days - CEOs who are allowed to do what the hell they want unchallenged - like awarding themselves £110million bonus packages . . . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not as if people were voting for parliamentary parties. 47% represents apathy. It’s a disgrace. Who's job is it to engage them enough to turn out and vote for them? Like I said, there are no real options. They're all puppets of a deeper government. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Republicans in the state required people to provide a residential address in order to vote, knowing full well that many Native Americans on reservations don’t have one and use a post office box. This law doesn’t make elections more secure, but it does target Native Americans, whom Republican politicians believe are more likely to vote for Democrats.
