    Aside from all the hateful attacks. To cheer my other conservative friends up, we've now reached the point that we have almost certainty that neither Bernie sanders or Hillary Clinton will ever have a chance of becoming US president. Just a bit of warmth on this November eve.

    whatever gets you through the winter.

    Graceful and eloquent statement from Michelle Obama:

    "This week, I’ve been reflecting a lot on where I was four years ago. Hilary Clinton had just been dealt a tough loss by a far closer margin than the one we’ve seen this year. I was hurt and disappointed—but the votes had been counted and Donald Trump had won. The American people had spoken. And one of the great responsibilities of the presidency is to listen when they do. So my husband and I instructed our staffs to do what George and Laura Bush had done for us: run a respectful, seamless transition of power—one of the hallmarks of American democracy. We invited the folks from the president-elect’s team into our offices and prepared detailed memos for them, offering what we’d learned over the past eight years.

    I have to be honest and say that none of this was easy for me. Donald Trump had spread racist lies about my husband that had put my family in danger. That wasn’t something I was ready to forgive. But I knew that, for the sake of our country, I had to find the strength and maturity to put my anger aside. So I welcomed Melania Trump into the White House and talked with her about my experience, answering every question she had—from the heightened scrutiny that comes with being First Lady to what it’s like to raise kids in the White House.

    I knew in my heart it was the right thing to do—because our democracy is so much bigger than anybody’s ego. Our love of country requires us to respect the results of an election even when we don’t like them or wish it had gone differently—the presidency doesn’t belong to any one individual or any one party. To pretend that it does, to play along with these groundless conspiracy theories—whether for personal or political gain—is to put our country’s health and security in danger. This isn’t a game. So I want to urge all Americans, especially our nation’s leaders, regardless of party, to honor the electoral process and do your part to encourage a smooth transition of power, just as sitting presidents have done throughout our history.

    He was popular/notorious in the way that that one bar in every town is - You know the one , the one that always has a squad car outside with the lights on usually accompanied by an Ambulance.

    Everyone hates the place , but somehow you can't not at least walk past ,just to see what absolute mayhem is going on.

    (Some) People enjoyed watching him on TV to marvel at his utterly blatant sh!te-hawkery and stage managed vacuous banality.

    Very very few people "liked" him let alone "loved" him.

    A big part of his personality was formed by how utterly despised he was in New York in the 1980's - He couldn't understand why "high society" viewed him as something they had just stepped in.

    He was never accepted and never liked. He so desperately wanted to be like by the Hamptons crowd and simply never could - To them he was just a uncouth barrow-boy from Jersey - And they weren't wrong.

    In the 80s he wanted to own an NFL team. The other owners didn't like him and didn't want him so no one would any shares to him. He sued them saying they were running a monopoly. He was looking for billions in damages or for them to offer him a stake in one of the teams in return for dropping the suit.

    He won the suit and was awarded damages of $3.76. Yes you read that right. 3 dollars and 76 cents 🀣🀣 what a great businessman!

    its actually exactly what I feel like in this thread, for four years anything lighter than absolute condemnation of trump was met with endless salt, he lost this election and the same side still jump down your throat for posting anything less than condemnation.

    Whoop de freaking doo :rolleyes:

    Republicans are to busy being shìt scared about the young upcoming Dems like AOC, Meanwhile your hero lasted one term, got impeached, lost the popular vote twice ( once to Clinton which has to hurt really bad) and is being laughed out of every court across the Nation as he feebly attempts to grasp onto power.

    Wheres the Trump zealots who were calling him an Alpha male not so long ago? They seem to have disappeared now he has turned into a whiney little bìtch.

    Nobody is afraid of AOC, now democrats are back in power she'll have to get really moderate or face a wipeout next time round. She was an extreme reaction to a perceived extreme.

    You missed the part where he drove an entire sports league out of business at the cost of $163mn, in order to get that $3.76.

    It's up there with his finest achievements, such as bankrupting casinos and not being touched by any American bank for a long, long time.

    Being afraid of AOC is liking being afraid of Paul Murphy or PBP getting into government.

    They are both the same and not fit for higher office.

    So why do the Republicans attack her every chance they get? Sounds like they are very afraid of her to me.

    74% of the vote in the democratic primary and 68% in the house election. You may have to find solace elsewhere

    If you ain't afraid of AOC or the ideas of the green new deal, you'd be more then happy to have her speak to people you believe will not buy into her/their progressive plans..

    Any response, if we're honest - some just crave attention, be it positive or negative. Everyone who read that post and is remotely familiar with that person's history should be very well aware it wasn't at all pointed any Republican supporting posters.

    It was a sad attempt for attention, which have become increasingly desperate in nature from the usual Trump supporters on this thread over the last two weeks.

    A Texan phrase is an apt one in describing Trump.

    "All Hat, No Cattle". He experienced a bull market in 70's/80's New York real estate and misinterpreted that for brains. Leveraged himself to the hilt with junk bonds and crashed and burned. No american financial lenders would touch him until his dad died and he was quids in again to repeat the leverage act. A real estate magnate who managed to not only survive but thrive after the implosion in 2008? I always thought it was suspicious.

    What's always been interesting to me is that he called Angela Merkel stupid and accused her of being in the pocket of the Russians. Trump is adept at projecting. Trump Jr is on record saying that Russian money makes up a significant portion of their pre and post financial crisis business i.e. the affected US institutions wouldn't lend to us for development and it explained their defiant solvency. Crucially, the only bank who would touch Trump's toxic credit worthiness, Deutsche Bank, turned out to be one which got caught delibrrately laundering money for wealthy Russians. From the Panama Papers controversy a few years back, we learned how wealthy people used shell companies to hide assets and avoid domestic tax. If the father of David Cameron, can be au fait with such tax "avoision" then it's no stretch that a grifting Trump Organization would be as well. Trump, averse to losing, presumably welcomed foreign "investment".

    It wouldn't surprise me if we ultimately learn that the Trump organization, actually beleaguered and floundered by the credit crunch, readily pawned itself to become a front for laundering money for wealthy Russian oligarchs to buy heavily depreciated Western properties. Given his recent obstinance then it's clear that he's not rational or forward thinking. It would be a quid pro quo arrangement. The money would be invested to buy up western properties. Hotels, Golf resorts etc. The ultimate beneficiary would be the Russian person in question while Trump get's to earn a lucrative branding and licensing fee to fund his “big hat" lifestyle, which in itself is a front as he get's to continue playing the successful role of a billionaire by pretending that his organization actually owns such assets. All speculation obviously but to me Trump in insulting Merkel was a glimpse into what may be his own reality and why he dreads losing the protection his current status affords him i.e. That he is deep in the pockets of the Russians and in his dotage he was projecting his situation and foisting it on another world leader in Merkel, who has a Phd and is most definitely not stupid. With such financial "kompromat", it can explain why he always kowtowed so egregiously to Putin and so aggressively fought (and fights) the release of his financial records as a subsequent forensic examination of them could well reveal the house of sand mechanics of his finances. The President of the United States compromised by criminal financial links to a geopolitical adversary. Perhaps to the tune of $421 million I think. The guff about electoral fraud is just the start, the grifting for funds presumably to stave off creditors in the above hypothesis. Once he's gone the lies about getting framed (and compromised) by deep state globalists will be next, how that money was only resting in his account...etc. The ssd part is many will latch onto it and refuse to see the admittedly simplistic high-level outline above.

    Two problems with this statement

    1: AOC is significantly to the right of either Paul Murphy or PBP. She would probably not even be left wing enough for the Soc Dems over here.
    2: Neither Paul Murphy or PBP *want* to get in to Government. It is vastly easier to scream from the sidelines.

    Did you see the ESPN documentary about it? It's so funny when the interviewer shows Trump the actual cheque for $3.76 Trump gets in a hump and ends the interview. Such a man-baby.

    They ain't scared? Uhmm

    "Every member of the Senate GOP caucus declined invitations to appear on "Meet the Press" this Sunday, according to the show's host Chuck Todd.

    “We invited every single Republican senator to appear on Meet the Press this morning. They all declined," said Todd on Sunday's show."

    Well he showed them didn't he!

    He went on to become the 45th president of the United states of America. Arguably the highest most powerful position on the planet.

    Stick that in your prawn sandwich Hampton boys and girls

    "Look at me Ma! , Top of the World!!!"

    And despite that he still won't get invited to those parties he so craves nor get the acceptance he so badly wants.

    Javanka *sort of* had their acceptance because at least they weren't as utterly uncouth as Donald is , but they have well and truly burned those bridges , so now the Trump family will never be accepted and that burns him more than anything.

    are you afraid of Donald trump, are you afraid of Gemma o Doherty, are you afraid of some foods ?

    just because you disagree with someone or their political viewpoint doesn't mean you're afraid of them. Paul Murphy will never be taoiseach, he thankfully gets little media coverage, I'm still going to disagree with almost everything he believes in and contribute that to a discussion, not afraid of him in any capacity.

    Biden wants nothing to do with the green new deal. Nobody has any interest in her ramblings. She is an outlier.
    Confusing having absolutely no interest in her "politics" doesn't mean there is fear. I dont respect her.

    I think the Republicans attack AOC in order to keep her in the news thinking that the US hasn't the appetite for her brand of politics.

    I don't think they fear her, quite the opposite- she's useful to them to attempt to tarnish Dems as socialist firebrands.
