The Trump Presidency | Biden Inaugurated

The guy that predicted the Trump election (and ever election since 1984 using a model that fit every election since 1860) now thinks Trump will be impeached (and I happen to agree that it is likely)



Bit more explanation on the theory here:


Just to nick pick but didn't he "successfully" predict both a Gore and Trump win and claim he was correct on both? Gore because he won the popular and Trump because he won the EC.

I'm not sure, you might be right.
 
In retrospect, Obama v Romney was the equivalent to season 7 of the West Wing. Oh for those times again.

Right now I'd argue a Romney win in 2012 might have been alright in that it would've prevented Trump. At best he'd have been beaten in 2016 by Hilary (cause she was always the candidate this year), and at worst in 2020 someone else steps up and beats him.

Of course

But yet he was portrayed as a fool by the media, as was McCain. Both were far better than the two choices the yanks had this time
 
Yeah from a greater good point of view, though Obama being only a single term President after his successes and the shit the nutjobs threw at him would've been incredibly galling. On the plus side, he'd be be free to run again!

Still got a vague hope that the reaction causes something more powerful to get built over the next few years and humiliates him next time out, but I've learned not to be overly optimistic with politics of late.

What's Tony Blair up to these days? He's 3-0 in elections...
 
That's bollocks. He was seen as smart but out of touch with the little people.
Nearly every week a bumbling Romney moment appeared during the election run in and was hammered down to all.

Certainly was the case over here

A gaffe, not something that made him appear stupid. Nobody thought that of him. McCain was just seen as an angry old man.
 
This is a great (extremely long but a pleasure to read) piece following Obama before, during and after last week's election, gives a feel of what he's been trying to do in the time since and also a reminder of what made him an amazing candidate



Would love it if he had one final part to play over the next few years.

Well, we wouldn't have the Iran deal or Paris in the 1st place (and so no worry Trump will tear them up!).
 
Romney was the one going on about Russia being a dangerous enemy so it's odd that he's possibly going to work in an administration that admires Putin so much and has many ties to him.

I find the whole thing odd. You have a bunch of anti-Semites and racists and then you have some serious Jewish supporters and of course the Son-in-law who is actually Jewish. Some who support gay marriage and abortion and many who don't, some who believe in climate change and some who don't. If you ask me it's a recipe for disaster. Everyone (myself included) were worried about the President elect and his mob starting wars, well maybe the only one they actually start is amongst themselves. That aside though, It really is shaping up to be the most dangerous and definitely the most odious, racist and bigoted cabinet assembled in US history.

Very good article, I admire the guys continuing calmness.

Yup, this is REAL!

For fecks sake. :nervous:
 

So Mr "I don't settle lawsuits" is settling one for $25 MILLION? He knew he was done and there was some damning evidence that was going to be revealed in court. The USA is now in the hands of a fecking crook. One who ironically and hypocritically had the nerve to constantly call Hillary crooked, but she has nothing on this charlatan. If it wasn't so sad and dangerous it would be hilarious. There isn't a day that goes by where something disgusting isn't revealed about this shady cnut. He really is the lowest of the low, and he now has nuclear codes and a cabinet of deplorables. Only in the USA.

Yup...he was cold, detached...calculating...A vulture...buying up failing companies etc etc...driven by money.

But, definitely not stupid.

Well he was stupid to get caught saying the whole 47% thing...

Probably... though I'm sure he will argue that they were asking for $40 million but because he is such a good negotiator he has got it down to $25 million and because he is so busy making America great again he chose to settle out of court...
In truth I suspect he is busy handpicking the secret service agents that are going to arrange for those involved in the case to have an accident

I find it odd, too. The potential for nepotism is alarming - people do it all the time in business of course, which is all Trump knows.
 
I'm just imagining very serious conventions and meetings of world leaders with the global superpower US being represented by Donald "Make America Grope Again" Trump.

See that shit shouldn't be even considered when talking about the President elect of the USA, maybe Nigeria or The Democratic Republic of the Congo, but certainly not the USA. However, this is where we find ourselves, with someone so damn petty, untrustworthy and sociopathic that nothing can be ruled out. It's completely batshit, and also, very, very wrong.

Of course, but this all begs the question as to how is it all seemingly being allowed? Ivanka sitting in on a meeting with the Japanese PM for fecks sake? How far will this all go until someone pulls him aside and tells him he can't do or get away with these things? I've studied this man for years now and from what I can gather nobody has ever really stood up to him and said NO! His arrogance literally knows no bounds. He's been allowed to get away with everything and anything, and on the few occasions his actions have alerted the authorities, he's managed to bribe or slime his way out of it. He has a remarkable ability to never be around when the guillotine falls, however, I am hoping that his luck runs out soon and he has bitten off more than he can chew this time. For the sake of the USA and the World, I really hope he finally gets his comeuppance.

Ummmm if Romney won in 2012 and 2016 he could not run again.
