Lots of angry Americans who may be encouraged by "some" to stop it....

I'd say it was more of a surprise that Obama survived. It's the right that tends to have the nutters.

Corbyn? Oh the irony!

Posted by: je suis Charlie Jan 10 2017, 08:11 AM

U wuz saying?
"Jeremy Corbyn is to attempt to copy Donald Trump as he aims to get his leadership of the Labour Party back on track.".

Posted by: newres Jan 10 2017, 09:45 AM

What's Corbin got to with it? You're obsessed! Kennedys, Luther King?

Posted by: je suis Charlie Jan 10 2017, 10:05 AM

It's not just the right who has the nutters, with Corbyn copying Trump! Or are you deaf to that thundering irony storm?

Posted by: Turin Machine Jan 10 2017, 10:40 AM

It does rather look as if its your good self labouring under under the burden of obsession. Still, never mind.

Posted by: newres Jan 10 2017, 03:27 PM

I'm no fan of Corbyn - he's too left for me. I was making the obvious point that it tends to be left leaning US politicians that are under threat. I reckon Obama was lucky to survive. The new president was questioning his nationality don't forget with the Birther movement. Seriously, with the video of his cruel impression of a disabled person as well, he really is not fit for public office. I'd never seen the video before yesterday.

Trump now evens to be impeached in his first term. Golden showers.... I gather Uretha Franklin is performing at the inauguration....

Posted by: On the edge Jan 11 2017, 06:30 PM

Ummm

But then it may just be that at long last they have a President willing take a stand against the horror that is the US secret service...

Posted by: newres Jan 12 2017, 09:45 PM

Well he wasn't complaining when Hilary Clinton was on the receiving end. Why would the secret services turn on him now? This stuff was apparently out there before the election.

Posted by: Turin Machine Jan 12 2017, 10:57 PM

strangely enough, a number of commentators seem to be warming to his Presidency. Strange but true. He thought to be a strong President who will put The USA first. Perhaps that's the answer, perhaps not. In the end only time will tell. Just as long as some rabid leftie with a gun and a grudge doesn't 'JFK' him.

Posted by: On the edge Jan 13 2017, 07:27 AM

Quite so.

Posted by: newres Jan 13 2017, 10:23 AM

I'm not sure why since he isn't president yet.

Posted by: On the edge Jan 13 2017, 10:53 AM

He'll get there quicker than us leaving Europe

Posted by: Turin Machine Jan 13 2017, 11:11 AM

Alright, upcoming presidency. OK?

Posted by: TallDarkAndHandsome Jan 17 2017, 11:55 PM

Be worth a watch.... Inauguration... If he gets to the podium....

Posted by: newres Jan 18 2017, 02:55 PM

Champagne at the ready.

Posted by: je suis Charlie Jan 18 2017, 04:04 PM

Nice! Getting ready to celebrate the murder of someone on the basis you don't agree with his views. Lovely.

Posted by: Gazzadp Jan 18 2017, 07:53 PM

I think that would be a valid question if Clinton had won aswel, as she had upset most of of the close protection officers from the US Secret Service to the extent that may of them refused to be assigned to protect her.

Given that Trump has effectively accused the CIA & FBI of lying, he is already upsetting those senior miliatary officers at the Pentagon with his love in with Putin. I would think he has got a pretty big target on him. But as is the seemingly the way with Trump, I am actually pretty **** surprised he has survived now, if he is alive at the weekend it will be interesting to see if he manages to see out a full term, for some strange reason I don't think he will!

Still Trump, might be like Tony Blair, be teflon coated and proof that you can indeed polish a ****!

Posted by: On the edge Jan 18 2017, 10:52 PM

Actually, if people listened to ALL Trump says, they'd find he isn't nearly as maverick as they might imagine. For instance, as he says, he wants to negotiate with Putin, so its rather sensible to start off on a friendly basis because you are more likely to be able to achieve far more and then, only if necessary get tough. And as we know, he can get tough. Do we really want another cold war with the lunatic fringe in the States itching to let off more nuclear weapons? I'd argue that the biggest danger to World security are the yo yo's who inhabit the CIA and FBI.

Posted by: Turin Machine Jan 19 2017, 12:30 AM

Trump and Putin, hmm, probably slightly like slipping in two blocks of subcritical uranium to a toddler's toybox. Eventually he's going to smash them together. Might not happen today, or tomorrow, but it's inevitable and will be apocalyptic.

Posted by: On the edge Jan 19 2017, 08:19 AM

....and so, even more illustrates the need for them to calm down and talk to each other as reasonable adults.

Posted by: newres Jan 19 2017, 10:24 AM

Actually if you knew me you would know I was joking. I'm teetotal.

Posted by: Andy Capp Jan 19 2017, 05:38 PM

Some people like to be offended!

Posted by: je suis Charlie Jan 19 2017, 11:34 PM

So the abhorrent murder of MP Jo Cox is a cause for mourning, but the murder of Donald Trump is cause for a bottle of bubbly? Irony fail!

Posted by: Andy Capp Jan 20 2017, 01:05 AM

One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.

My bubbly is reserved for celebrating his being a successful tenure, but I fear it wont get opened in the next 8 years.

Posted by: newres Jan 20 2017, 11:02 AM

I was being lighthearted and I don't care if you're offended. I wouldn't wish him murdered, but I wish him gone. He is not fit for any office.

Not that we haven't had similar issues, but we are better at covering up and pretending!

Posted by: je suis Charlie Jan 20 2017, 05:34 PM

And Hillary was I suppose? Ahh, none so blind. Still if nothing else, after his speech it might be an interesting 100 days. I wish we had a politician with the balls to say Britain first! But oh no,too right wing for the weeping liberal Masses

Posted by: Turin Machine Jan 20 2017, 06:04 PM

I have to say that if I were a blue collar worker with no job, living in the Rustbelt, on welfare stamps then I would be buoyed up by his speech.

Posted by: JeffG Jan 20 2017, 07:47 PM

Meanwhile the rest of the world quakes in its collective boots. I don't think I have ever heard a more isolationist speech.

Posted by: On the edge Jan 20 2017, 07:52 PM

Well, you might just be in luck, if she holds her nerve.

Posted by: On the edge Jan 20 2017, 07:57 PM

England must be one of the few nations not liked by its own people. That makes them think other nations don't like themselves either.

Posted by: Andy Capp Jan 20 2017, 08:41 PM

Sadly, what is said isn't always what is done. British jobs for British workers! LOL

Posted by: newres Jan 20 2017, 09:07 PM

You've got one. Nigel Farage. Britain Über alles.

Posted by: JeffG Jan 20 2017, 09:11 PM

I haven't a clue what you mean, and it has nothing to do with my comment. If America turns inwards, withdraws from the climate change agreement, promotes more use of fossil fuels, becomes protectionist, puts up trade barriers and withdraws from foreign involvement then the rest of the world suffers.

Posted by: On the edge Jan 20 2017, 10:12 PM

But that's not quite what he said. Protectionist? Trade Barriers? the EU is one of the worst offenders there. Climate Change Agreement? Oh yeah!, so long as you don't look too closely at the get outs certain nations have managed to slip in, who are also 'eating' fossil fuels right now. So in Amercian eyes; it seems the rest of the World has been taking the p***. As has been said, if I was 'Joe Average' that's exactly what I'd want to hear the President say.

Of course he's also still paid by us, the British tax payer, via the EU.

This man really has taken the British public for all he can get.

Posted by: Turin Machine Jan 21 2017, 10:39 AM

Good old EU.

Posted by: On the edge Jan 21 2017, 11:17 AM

Yes, nice touch of irony you've spotted there User! Indeed, the very reason why the EU are getting snotty about us going.

Posted by: Andy Capp Jan 21 2017, 12:10 PM

It sounds like he voted for Christmas!

Posted by: JeffG Jan 22 2017, 12:46 PM

If I heard correctly this morning, Trump wants to be invited over (unfortunately this probably has to happen) and to play the 9-hole golf course at Balmoral with the Queen watching him. (Probably wants Prince William to caddy for him as well.)

Posted by: On the edge Jan 22 2017, 04:22 PM

Mind, she's well used to boorish guests; the Blairs, the Cleggs, all those 'interesting' dictator types the FO are so keen to crawl up.
