trumper

A person whose beliefs are mostly based on half-truths, lies and misconceptions put forth by others they admire and choose to follow instead of relying on their own intellect.
My co-worker's rigid and shallow opinions show what a trumper he is becoming.

Oh. Fuck.

[jfdm]

Oh dear, not looking good.

[Duma]

Surely it's over now, can't see how Clinton can win PA, and she need(ed) to.

[tomtom]

Still, citizens of the USA get to elect a different president if they don't like this one in four years time.....

Unlike Brexit.

[Oldmanmatt]

Old but apt:

As long as the Republicans don't get the House and the Senate it'll be ok......... Oh.......

[kelvin]

Unlike Brexit.

It's been such an odd year, I'm 3.64% clinging to the hope that Brexit won't happen...

May I be the first to congratulate Vladimir Putin on a stunning victory.

[Oldmanmatt]

So, investment advice needed.
I'm thinking Brick and Concrete manufacturers?
Barbwire and possibly tattoo ink makers?
US Engineering companies that can build large, hermetically sealed rooms?
Who makes that Zyklon shit these days?

please don't bring her into this

OK can anyone with a better understanding of the merican system clarify whether he's actually be able to do all the crazy things he's promised? I'm thinking building the wall, kicking out muslims, free guns for sex offenders, free limousines for sociopaths etc? What power does he actually have, don't these things have to get through house of reps/congress or some shit?

I believe the lunatics are on the grass in both houses.
Might one suggest:

Yeah but don't at least half the GOP hate him?

[Oldmanmatt]

My take from more informed commentators, is that he will be domestically limited, but that his impact in the wider world could be potentially devastating.

Think happy thoughts. In four years it'll probably all be over...

[Oldmanmatt]

This has to be the best indication of the future:

Did you not get the memo. Trump ordered the gassing of all cute puppies. Fighting dog breeds only from now on.

The channel I'm watching have just said he's limited to where he fires missiles and Supreme Court appointment. Plenty of scope to duck things up, his iolationism/friendship with Putin is the biggest foreign policy problem. I expect Russia to be more overt I their actions in Stria and Ukraine

[Will Hunt]

This image is quite handy.


Lots of power. Controls the military (with approval of the senate), can veto or repeal legislation, appoints the supreme court who interpret the constitution, appoints the cabinet.
I imagine there's some caveats in there but much more personal political power than we give to our PM.

[dave]

We're fucked then.

Still trying to get my head round a system where someone with no political experience whatsoever can be made a head of state. Just a chancer with some cash will do.

Looking forward (kind of) to hearing from our own correspondent in Philly...

Have gangs of right wingers starting lining up "foreigners" and deporting them yet?
