He really doesn't get it does he? Imbecile.
So Trump basically playing the outsider card. Meaning he can do things differently.Which will play well with his base ,until they realise that nothing seems to be changing for them.
Nope, does not understand. But neither do his voters, so its all good.
Crooked Hillary
IMO most communal feelings in modern India can be traced back to the failed attempt in 1905 to partition Bengal; this led to the birth of the Muslim League (in the Viceroy's house) and in response the Hindu Mahasabha. It worked nicely to reduce the strength of the Congress, and le eventually to partition.
Of course there was tension before that but after 1905, and after the League split from Gandhi's Congress in the 20s, that's when you see it rise, and finally in WW2, when all Congress leaders were in jail, both the Hindu and Muslim extremists cooperated with the government and grew in popularity unchecked. Look at the change in the League numbers in the 1937 (106 seats) and 1945 legislative polls (425 seats).
For an idea of how marginal these views were (apart from in Bengal, where they got ~30% of seats):
By 1945 the League had a majority in Bengal, Punjab, and Sindh (which became Pakistan) and decent numbers in Bihar and UP. NWFP (later part of Pakistan) though was majority Congress thanks to Maulana Azad.
Did anything happen to Cheeny when Blackwater started to get security contracts in Iraq?
Nope. And Halliburton profited handsomely from the war.
Gangsters' paradise, isn't it?
What is the connection there? The Halliburton one was obvious, but I remember/found (quick search) no Blackwater connection.
I said it a while ago but "campaign talk" is the new "locker room talk".
He's more concerned with trying to benefit his private business than anything else.
My bad, I thought Cheeny was a board member of Blackwater
Look at the Tweet I just posted and look at some of the replies. It will give you some insight in to how the morons think and basically excuse anything the President elect does/is doing, yet they continually jumped on Hillary for anything.
That's essentially what I just said in my reply to Drifter. Some of the replies are scary. They literally excuse him for being a businessman and are basically saying it's ok for him to be corrupt because that's his job, yet at the same time dismissing the argument of a blind trust and also saying that Bush and Obama aren't on his level. It's fecking unbelievable that truth, honesty and what is right is being completely ignored and twisted around. I understand politics has always been dirty and corrupt, and maybe it will take the big orange idiot to show everyone how corrupt because the only real difference is he is actually doing it right in front of everyone's eyes, rather than behind the scenes. Maybe in some strange ironic way he will be good because people will become so sick of him and everything that they will then demand honesty and transparency and vote in favour of politicians who actually want to make an honest change. That's the only solace I can find in this whole sorry mess at the moment.Another little nugget of corruption to be exposed today.....

Another good piece (shorter this time) from the New Yorker editor, on that Trump meeting with the news networks
I'm glad is shitting on the media - particularly the mainstream media. They let Trump getaway with murder and CNN hired Corey FFS
And because I'm never ever going to get over it
Votes are still being counted in Cali -
Popular vote
Hillary - 63,747,686

Another campaign promise bites the dust
Send in the clowns....
LOCK HER UP...LOCK HER UP...LOCK HER UP
Its a sure bet some who voted for him will be chanting lock him up before its all said and done.
Investors don't agree. They're abandoning bonds and piling into the stock market, meaning they're expecting an economic boom. The infrastructure projects should create lots of jobs. The problem, if it turns out to be a problem, will be debt.
My sentiments exactly. I'm not disappointed with his victory at all, I actually see potential. A lot of people think the current structures need tearing down, a madman like Trump might prove the catalyst for that, intentionally or otherwise.
As an investor, I'm not buying that for a second. The stock market is also reacting to the prospect of lower income tax, which affects the profits and therefore value of companies immediately.
'Trump's tower seen entering Manafort, Lewandowski'
This has been a really fecked up crazy year so I am wondering, is there a chance, even a small chance that when the Electoral College meet in December a few dozen may change their vote to Hillary and pay the $1000 fine. Based on the frankly rediculous conflicts of interest, his softening of his campaign pledges, his cabinate and advisors being to extreme and his children and son in law sitting in with him without security clearance.
It's a very very long shot but will we see them finally put a nail in the coffin of this antiquated system. No matter what way you look at it one candidate when all votes are counted will have over two million more votes and still not win the election, how can this continue. I understand giving less populated states a voice but one party has no hope in hell in winning anything in ten or twelve states and gerrymandering has corrupted the electorate in a lot of purple states. But the election takes in the country as a whole and one man one vote seems a lot more above board then one state a few electoral votes. Every vote should count but the two million more people who voted for Hillary are discarded because they live in a more populous state.
The idea of the EC was to prevent people like Trump taking the top job, not handing it to him on the basis that 25% of the electorate voted for him.
Finally Jeff Sessions is a cnut and I hope the Dems in the senate crucify that motherfecker for the racist piece of dumbfeck shit he is, just had to get that out.

Are you thinking of Halliburton ?
One slightly surprising thing I just noticed:
Obama votes in Florida in 2008: 4.3m; and 2012: 4.2m.
Clinton votes in Florida in 2016: 4.5m.
Obama votes in Florida in 2008: 4.3m; and 2012: 4.2m.
Clinton votes in Florida in 2016: 4.5m.
Which basically means FL really really loves Trump?
Latinos.
Problem is Drumpf brought out some registered inactive exurban voters and flip quite a bit of Obama's whites in those counties.
Whites love him.
He absolutely decimated her in Tampa area. The turnaround of that alone from Barry:Mitt margin was basically the winning margin.
When Amy Schumer was booed during her show in Tampa a week or so before the election, we should've known it was lost.

Yeah Raoul, I was thinking of Halliburton.
So, Trump won in all the places where people want 'stuff' - where there are more 'takers' than 'givers'.

For shame....FOR SHAME.

And the bitter irony being that they elected the person least likely to actually help them or give them anything. Oh well, stupid is as stupid does.
OBSTRUCTION As the new President elect faces his own wall blocking him all the way.

It will serve them right when half their state is under water with his views on global warming.

I suppose it'll be the urban cities that go first, getting rid of more Dem supporters. Maybe the GOP are smarter than we realise...
Apparently so. Obama also beat 50% there twice with those numbers, whereas she got 47.8%. Big (10%+) increase in votes cast there and in Arizona, Texas and Nevada. And Oregon.
