The Many Faces of US Politics...

[Eamonnca1]

One to watch - Johnson will be back in charge of Tories (or will try to be) for 2029 election. I think he'll say if Donald can do it why can't I

Wouldn't put it past him. This anti-immigration stuff in a time of people struggling financially - it's a recipe for extremism.

Both full on America Firsters AND fervent Zionists delighted at the result. Will be interesting to see who's been fooled... as if there's any doubt.

Watch again in this administration how Jews control America (and rest of the West).

This is acceptable on the board now, is it?

Ah right OK .... perfectly fine to call out the prods for their widespread discrimination here, but it can't be called out elsewhere?
Do you need me to explain my reasoning again or do you just want to pull out their 'trump' card  and call me something bad? They really are a protected class

"Their"

"They"

Sad, embarrassing stuff.

Are people struggling in the US Eamonn? Are the democrats out of touch with the "working class" ?

I see Bernie Sanders has just tweeted that the Democratic Party has abandoned the working classes & they in turn abandoned the party yesterday

The perception over the past 30 years or so is that, since NAFTA, the Democrats moved away from working class voters and embraced identity politics (basically fighting for the interests of non-white marginalized groups), and Silicon Valley (amongst other professional classes).  Some of those white voters came back with Obama's promise of change, but working class people in non-coastal parts of the US have basically lost entire manufacturing sectors, and feel that the Democrats haven't fought for their interests.

The economy as a whole is doing quite well, but there are whole communities that have been getting shafted for 20-30 years now, and they seem to vote for the "change" candidate quite a bit.

So what does he improve?

Good to see Trump winning. There was a hysterical liberal woman crying on BBC news just now  I couldn't wipe the grin off my face. I can still remember them dancing on the street 4 years ago.

(I am no Trump fan)

For pure entertainment in not having a clue what she was at for the last couple of months - Kamala was gold.

I mean the Democratic Party put that up against Trump. Trump must have been rubbing his hands.

How did she get into this position? Does anyone here honestly think she was a good candidate? Do you think she should have been voted in just on the premise that she is a woman, regardless of her being any good?

The stats says that more women voted for her than they did Trump. Over 80% of black people also voted for her.

Does anybody really care who won?

Makes no difference to me!

Bigger carte balance for Israel. I be worried about what way the Ukraine will go. They fold and Russia and their buddies be rolling up on Poland,Germany.[Who are asleep at the wheel over their WW2 guilt trip). Putin looking to try reinstate the old Soviet Block.

[bennydorano]

Russia are a busted flush, they don't have the capacity or capability to take on anything else, if they don't get Ukraine settled soon, Economic mayhem might finish them. They'll be praying Trump gives them a face saving off ramp. Was reading quite recently that Poland have one of the fastest growing and best financed military  in Europe, they saw the danger signs long before the rest.

Maybe they should have invaded the Capitol building to shit on the floor, try to string up Mike Pence, and get a few people killed. Is that  better way to react?

I was wondering what was wrong with being liberal?

[balladmaker]

Trump will most likely spend most of the next 4 years on the golf course, untouchable now, going down in history as possibly the greatest comeback since Lazarus.  I expect to see Donald Jnr being profiled over the next 4 years as his Dad's successor, just like the Paisleys, it won't end well.

Trump? I doubt he has any interest in improving anything except for himself.
