UK and North American politics. => A look at US politics following Donald Trump's inauguration as President. => Topic started by: Venturi Swirl on October 27, 2020, 05:43:11 PM

I hope they both lose frankly, but something tells me Trump is going to pull it out of the bag at the last minute. At least he’s entertaining and not overtly senile. Biden is deadly dull and appears to be in the process of losing the plot already.
-
I hope Trump wins, but don't ask me why. Although he does appear to be the only President ever that actually runs America himself.
One of the Georges was very funny because he knew that he didn't run anything.

Agreed! a polished politician he isn't, but that for me is a good thing! And it would piss of smugg- Markle prince 'arrys new owner.
Gawg double ya boosh 2nd was hilarious with his speeches- we read a lot of his 'quotes' at uni.
Some one thought he was the president of the golf club because he was always on one. lol

I find Trump to have been a total disaster.
What has he actually done a) to improve the lives of ordinary Americans and b) to maintain the credibility of the US on the global stage?

Well, he has overseen record employment figures for African Americans as well as brokered peace deals in the middle east which saw him nominated for the Nobel prize.
But the MSM & political establishment hate him, so there's no fan fair when he does something good.

But on its website, the Nobel committee warns not to attach too much importance to a nomination.
“Any person or organization can be nominated by anyone eligible to nominate,” the committee states. The Norwegian Nobel Committee has no input into submissions, though it decides who actually wins the prize. “To simply be nominated is therefore not an endorsement or extended honour to imply affiliation with the Nobel Peace Prize or its related institutions,” the committee states.
Nonetheless, Trump has touted the nomination repeatedly at campaign rallies, on Twitter and in TV ads.
Trump’s Nomination
On Sept. 9, Christian Tybring-Gjedde, a far-right Norwegian politician, announced on Fox News that he had nominated Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize."
Trump moaning that the media was covering hurricane instead of Nobel Prize nomination (at a rally speech... in a place that had recently had a disaster:

Wait, what?
So they fact checked the claim Trump was nominated.....& he was.

Let us know when he wins eh? Seems any old Tom, Dick and Knobhead can be nominated, the Nobel committee ain't too fussy. I was thinking of nominating you as it happens...

Ohhh, looky.
Another Trump Farage lovefest.
Trump re Farage: "one of the most powerful men in Europe".
Farage re Trump: "the single most resilient and bravest person I have ever met in my life".

Steve Bannon, amongst others is an influence:

NB: No point yelling at me, I'm a centrist. As such I have no problem with a smallish swing either way of centre - to the right or to the left.

Trump is just a monster, absolutely f*cking horrendous, but Biden looks more and more as though he has Parkinson's and/or dementia, so......

I know he's fluffed a few things, but the rhythm must be gruelling. There are also deliberately manipulated clips floating around.
A manipulated video falsely touted as "proof" Joe Biden has dementia was reportedly viewed more than one million times on Twitter over the weekend.
A user uploaded a doctored clip to the platform showing the Democratic nominee announcing himself on stage at a campaign rally.
"Hello, Minnesota!" the former vice president said in the footage. But his podium showed a sign that read "Tampa, Florida," along with the message "Text FL to 30330".
But the original, unedited video was filmed in St Paul's, Minnesota where Mr Biden had been campaigning ahead of election day.

Biden always looks as if he's about to fall over. As for Nancy Pelosi, she should retire gracefully after sacking her makeup girl.

Wherever the Men In White Coats take people like him these days.

Oh, do come on. Trump was the most interesting thing that ever happened to America. America will now go back to being run by fools.
Oh, and Meghan Markle of course.
Beware of what you wish for.

There are reports that he might retire to his properties here in Scotland.

who is that throwing the stones over there. Ahhhh see... glass houses and all that.

Does anyone have a prediction of when Trump will finally concede defeat and congratulate Biden?
Some strange behaviour by him and his cohorts.
Quite worrying.......

Yes, I predict he will never concede and never congratulate Biden and that he will have to be dragged kicking and screaming from the White House.

And is apparently endangering the national security of America.

A court reporter on supposed witnesses of ballot fraud in Maricopa county, Arizona. I presume the case got thrown out.

Some Tea Party person claimed this clip showed Democrats stuffing ballots... but it was video from a Russian election.
https://twitter.com/Channel4News/status/793542779922157568
Trump retweeting (on Nov 11) a video of ballot collectors supposedly ballots from a drop-off box - the insinuation being days after the election and therefore illegal.

I can't get excited about this, I'm afraid. Although I did hope that Trump would win. But only to pee off Meghan Markle. So nothing altruistic about my motives.

This has to be one of the most disturbing Twitter threads I've read in a while: a distraught nurse describing the situation in an overwhelmed El Paso (Texas) hospital where many are left in the "pit" and left to die without any treatment other than a couple of chest compressions and just left to die.

Yes, but here in Scotland we had elderly patients sent back to
'carehomes' to die of the infection. Some refused admission to hospital.
God bless our queen of Scots- Nicola, no flies on me, sturgeon. It wasn't actually her fault, is was the fault of the brexiteers to willed it on the poor souls, heartless bunch them.
All the while ignoring that and mouthing off about Bojos handling of COVID 19.
She wasting millions on the NHS and begging for more to be wasted! What a embarrassment she is with her fellow trough plungers.

Poll conducted three days ago in Scotland.
Who has handled the crisis best?
Boris Johnstone
Well 19% Neither well or badly 17%. Badly 62% rest don't knows
Nicola Sturgeon
Well 74%. Neither well or badly 11% Badly 13%. rest don't knows
UK Government
Well 25% Neither well or badly 18% Badly 55% rest don't knows.
Scottish Government
Well. 72%. Neither well or badly 12% Badly 15%. rest don't knows?
And with the latest scandal of the acquisition of PPE and the exorbitant payments made to
friends of friends by the UK government these results may well change!

Nigel Farage describes Donald Trump as the 'single most resilient and bravest person I've ever met in my life' after the US president brought him on stage at a rally in Arizona.
Worth turning the sound on.

Stand by for a debacle is all I can say.
-
I've checked into everything I could (easily) find... but I haven't found anything pointing to substantial electoral fraud. Neither has anyone else as far as I can tell.
The world seems to have gone mad (sadly, for some in various parts of the world, this has been the case for some time).

Good riddance!

He is, was and always will be a petulant toddler, let’s hope he ends up in prison where he belongs.

Which part of Trump being the first president in living memory to not go to war with other countries are you most disappointed with?

Dare I say I'm a Trump Fan? No? I'll get me coat.

I wonder if any celebrities will be talking of blowing up the Whitehouse or Presidential assasinations, or might that now be considered unacceptable?
-

There are several lawsuits awaiting him now he is no longer the President.
Plus an impeachment plus accusations of sexual assault by a number of women.
He could end up in jail.
Theres a long bumpy road ahead of him.
His behaviour over the past few weeks has been a disgrace.

Yes, when he told the protesters to march to the capitol & peacefully protest, that was particularly inciteful.

I'm watching President Biden and all the past living presidents lay wreaths at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
All except for Jimmy Carter who is too ill to attend and Trump of course.
He ran away home...no guts..no moral fibre...the first president to not attend the inauguration of the the incoming president.

Democrats have accused him of being a dictator, Russian agent and illegitimate president for the past 4 years.
I can't possibly imagine why he wouldn't want to stand shoulder to shoulder with them.

Encouraging mass immigration on the southern border seems like a great idea, can't foresee any issues there, that will secure the democrat vote for generations to come.
Re-joining the Paris climate accord should help China achieve it's aim of global financial domination & cancelling the keystone pipeline will mean dependence once again on foreign oil supplies.
All these things no doubt will be greatly beneficial to the average working class American.

Thankfully despite Trump’s best efforts America is still a democratic country so if they screw up the American electorate can pick another basket case in four years time.

I don't expect Biden to last four years due to his obvious cognitive decline.
Harris will likely assume leadership at some point & then gain the popular vote, thanks to the black vote by siding with BLM, branding all cops as killers, saying the country is systemically racist & because she's not white or male.
P.S, not to mention the impending censure by social media companies, of anything approaching Conservative opinions.

Looks like the former guy is losing influence. The youngsters have been voting and they are rejecting brainless cruelty and attacks on democracy. Maybe America isn't so dumb after all.
Maybe we could even see the GOP return to evidence based governance and an end to their bigot baiting, book burning culture wars?
I know I'm dreaming, they returned Jewish space laser Karen and the entire state of Florida appears to be in some kind of alternative reality cult but humanity and reason are hanging on and there is hope for the future.
