So basically what it is now?

What's needed is an effective barrier against illegal entry to the US. What does it matter whether it's a wall, a fence, a moat or an impregnable line of killer poodles?

I've never understood the fetishization of THE WALL by its opponents. I suppose liberal hypersensitivity to appearances partly accounts for it, but what Trump voters want is a permanent halt to the flow of illegal immigrants across their borders; they're don't care how that is achieved.
 
Why the hell does Trump still care so much about what the media are saying? He's about to become the President ffs. He won. The media played right into his hands and he won. It makes so sense why he'd still be so hung up on what they have to say, I can only put it down to insecurity on his part.

In terms of his presidency in general, I think he'll (thankfully) fail to do most of the things that he said he'd do and lose the vote of many republicans as a result. At the same time, he won't do anywhere near enough to win over people who voted Hillary, so I think he's destined to last the 4 years.

I can already see Hollywood's picturization, Killer poodles vs Demon Chihuahuas.

I heard that MSNBC is owned by Comcast which is strongly pushing for the TPP. The situation is a mess and "liberals" are equally, if not more, to blame for it.

I'm convinced the TPP will go through.

Trump will probably negotiate small changes and proclaim it the bestest trade deal ever ever, and they'll win bigly out of it.

Yes, this is the key. You can only scare poor folks so much with Muslims and gays. feck knows why those dumbasses are so desperate to work in a mine anyway. That'd be the last place I'd want to work. I'd rather have taken a punt on clean energy jobs.

Agreed! You don't have to go 500 feet underground and get black lung for renewable energy

Because Trump paints Mexicans as evildoers and scum, while the numbers actually crossing the border illegally are very low and the wall would cost billions upon billions in construction and maintenance.

It's a ridiculous stupid idea to 'fix' a problem that's actually not that much of a problem and is rooted in ignorance and racism.

The reason LIBERALS take the piss out the wall is because it's a stupid idea that won't work.

Israel can't stop Palestinian's moving in and out of Gaza despite their blockade and you think a wall stretching across 3000 km is going to do better?

Most of the illegals in the US are people who went into the country legally (mostly by plane) then proceeded to overstay. A wall is not going to stop people from flying into the country.
 
Maybe I was blind before but how crazy it is that Ann Coulter is one of the only 41 people that Trump follows on Twitter. (about 20 of the accounts he's following are his family or his own organisations as well which makes it even more ridiculous)

Even more crazier is that she is being considered for press secretary.
 
Europe's foreign ministers gathering for an emergency dinner now, to discuss Trump's win. You can bet they will come out with one hell of a strong and comprehensible statement (well not really, we're just fecked).

What? They can and do, both in Gaza and the West Bank.

Because they were right about him? That's how he's always been. He holds a grudge. Can't let things go.

:lol:

It'll literally be:

"We, as a united Europe, can and will not tolerate hate, racism and bigotry drifting this world apart. That's why want to congratulate Donald J. Trump with his elections and we are very much looking forward to working together with him as much as we can".
 
Is he backtracking on the wall, the 11m deportations and repealing Obamacare?
Reading news today would suggest he is. What else is he backtracking on?

I wonder how his supporters feel now?

Why does the result of the election change your opinion of him? All that's happened is people voting. He's still the exact same person.

I abhor his electoral manifesto and promises but I don't think he is stupid or out of touch or moronic any more.

He clearly has plans and is able to execute them.

And he knows how to play the media to his advantage. I think he was trolling lot of the time as opposed to being 'thin skinned'.

What the feck are you on about? It was Trump voters who got a hard on over the whole concept. You know, the ones repeatedly chanting "Build a wall! Build a wall!" Or are you now claiming there was a silent "metaphorical" between "a" and "wall"?

She's a formidable woman. Articulate, intelligent, gracious, (and beautiful)!
It's a shame she receives so much unwarranted invective from people clearly nowhere near as informed about the issues she talks about.

:lol: it was metaphoric chanting. 'Lock her up' actually meant 'defeat her fairly'.

I think he will eventually drop most of these policies. He adopted them simply to gain votes and now that he has what he wants - the Presidency - he will mean revert back to most of the policies he has supported over the years, which can largely be summed up as liberal NE Republican policies - socially and fiscally moderate (by Republican standards). Of course, this will all get marketed to this supporters as "making deals" which will be received well, despite the fact that he is more or less flip flopping on the core constituents of what made him popular to his followers in the first place.
 
Pogue Mahone said:
Since when? This last week?
Click to expand...
yes, since he won the election.

Without being too philosophical, I totally misread what millions of people thought to be sacred moral code. He didn't, and played up to those values to win him the election. He was always the smartest guy in the whole election.

The failure of neo liberals to take him seriously or understand his genius has cost us 4 potentially horrific years ahead (according to my moral and societal point of view). I dont want to that again, so Im going to assume from now on that he has plans. To be able to counteract that in any way I can, I need to empathise with him first.

When he backtracks on jobs .Then they will see him as just another lying politician

Such a strange post. I think you're just desperate to look on the bright side. Even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. You and @Raoul both. Fair enough. We all have our own way of coping with shit like this.

Indeed. Lovely woman...

I don't really like to think of it as a murder. It was terminating Tiller in the 203rd trimester. ... I am personally opposed to shooting abortionists, but I don't want to impose my moral values on others." --on the murder of Kansas abortion doctor George Tiller, FOX News interview, June 22, 2009

Are you actually serious?
