Trumpy

[devonwoody]

So if Trump gave our Security Depts. information of a massive terrorist attack planned in the UK involving thousands of lives would we ignore because perhaps its source?

I dont think so?

 

[Rorschach]

No we would investigate and determine it's validity. Never take anything for granted, especially from an exposed, compulsive liar.

That links seems to go nowhere. I read last night that someone had seen a bumper sticker in th US before the election - "Cheer up! They can't both win."

Is this a serious question?

The president of the United States doesn't just pick up the phone and share information about possible terror attacks. It would more likely be one of America's security agencies sharing information with their counterpart in the UK, and therefore the source is already more credible as it would probably be confirmed by multiple agencies.

Again, the stupidity of this question does make me wonder if it's genuine.

"Giving him a chance" isn't the same as holding him to account for the outrageous and offensive things he's said and done over the past 18 months (or his entire life, depending on how you want to look at it).

Very good

comparison with Saddam:
-Narsissit

-agrees with torture

-likes to manipulate the media

-protectionist state

Although to be fair he isnt talking of invading Mexico only building a wall! (and no mention of WMD as yet)

To hear Trump say that his Inauguration crowd was so much bigger than Obama's and that media were lying, just makes him appear like a boasting spoilt young teen age kid in a playground.

Whilst it is refreshing to have a non career politician taking power............. I can't see it ending well. What with his 10 minute attention span and other great qualities.

In the short term I may be buying shares in US brickmaking firms, especially those in the Southern states.

I hope Theresa has a fun meeting

 

[novocaine]

I'm investing in chicken wire and paper mache, which is closer to what the wall will be made off, it only has to last 4 years.

building a wall that spans 2000 miles, the planning alone will take 3-4 years, by which point he'll be out of power (possibly) and the next president can pull the plug (hopefully)

 

[Phil Pascoe]

To be fair, the pictures that I saw in the press were basically fraudulent in that one was the front third of the other - they could easily have come from the same photo.

Interesting. All the coverage I saw seemed to be pretty honest.

Edit: I'm not saying some news outlets wouldn't capitalise on the lower turnout of Donald's inauguration, but I think they'd be in the minority.

 

[novocaine]

*** packet calculation time.
they use a 440x215 block (ok thats metric, just to confuse them) and they go 5m high, thats ~170 million bricks for 2000 miles.

now back on topic. yes, all information received is investigated, including the odd crackpot ones.

 

[Jake]

Build it one block high and then swear blind that anyone who claims it isn't 5m high is a MSM shill.

That's clear enough, isn't it? The ones I saw had the bend in the road on the bottom corner in one and two thirds of the way up in the other.
I thought Richard Littlejohn made a fair comment on the women's protests - many of the women protesting at trumps election were the same women who rejoiced at Clintons, whose record in the sex department wasn't exactly squeaky clean. Maybe they have selective memories?

Apparently he's talking about 9m tall, or 16.7m tall, depending on the phase of his brain. According to the BBC.
Perhaps it will me on rams, height adjustable depending on avocado threat level.
But it will be a good wall, a really good wall. It will be the best wall. It will be a wall.

Perhaps if the Mexicans built it they could lease it to the USofT ?

 

[novocaine]

306 million or 544 million (approximately). multiply that by 6 for normal bricks.

obviously they will all be supplied by americas version of B&Q (home depo?) in an attempt to create jobs.

 

[Jacob]

Plenty of jobs for Mexicans building the wall. And again when they pull it down. Either way the USA pays.
20% tax on imported Mexican goods - Americans pay that too!
What happens a lot with eccentrics like Trump or Boris Johnson is that people say oh yes but he's very clever etc etc.
I think they are wrong, these people are thick as bricks, they got into positions of power and influence on the back of extremely privileged backgrounds and have no talent whatsoever. Though Boris is a bit of a comedian (credit where credit is due).

Agreed. Though Boris's guise of bumbling nitwit mixed with long and clever words is genius. Shame he's still a piece of sh*t.

This is quite an interesting article on Donald and the guy who wrote his book. One of the more interesting facts I took from it that I didn't know is that years before he started claiming that Obama was not born in the US, Donald had lied in the book about where his father was born. Amazing. http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/ ... -tells-all

Funny how Trump s getting stick for his alleged comments by the same people that stick up for Bill Clinton and his odious wife who are guilty of far worse,
