The Donald.

[Bibs]

FYI, anyone who votes for Trump, I'll never speak to you again. Came across as a complete prick again IMO, absolutely no way he should be in charge of anything, let alone a whole country...

[ramjet]

That's a bit harsh, isn't it?

Is Don, is good!

Oh wait, that's an ad for sausage.......  

[C8RKH]

Bit harsh @Bibs. I mean, essentially what you are saying is:

"Look, you have two choices. I'm either going to:

(1) Pin back your eyelids and staple them to your forehead and pour acid into your eye socket whilst I play the entire back catalogue of Fleetwood Mac at full volume through your headphones (the trump)

or

(2) Pin back your eyelids and staple them to your forehead whilst I pour lime juice into your eyes whilst I play the entire back catalogue of Dire Straights at full volume through your headphones (the clinton)

I mean basically, both options are really unpleasant and as you only have one vote, and those two options, well, you're damned if you do, damned if you don't... Bit like playing Russian roulette whilst forgetting to take out 5 of the 6 bullets!

 

[Kimbers]

Damn....why does that pic keep popping up. But very pertinent! Frankly your choice is a prick who is a mesogynist and unprofessional, or a professional who is untruthful to the level of criminality, who also attacked the women her husband used his influence to dishonestly sleep with, as of loose morals and who has been deleting and destroying records of her illegal business dealings.

I would vote Monster Raving Looney.........only Trump fits into that category as well! 

 

[Vanya]

I don't see the problem. There ARE other candidates. Last I checked there was even a Communist Party of America (I was shocked at how many weird folks there are to vote for).

As such, I think Gary Johnson would be a safe bet. Especially for the rest of the world, given that he doesn't seem to know anything about countries outside the US, he wouldn't even know who to invade or whose affairs to meddle in!

Clinton or Trump it's like having to pick between Bubonic Plague or Cholera.

[Kimbers]

[Chillidoggy]

Who?

[comem47]

Sounds like we got the same action going on here as the Scottish vote that keeps on living.. Trump was asked if he could abide with the results of the election and he came back with "If I win".  What a dickhead. !!!  (bet he never concedes when beaten in golf.....the other person obviously must have cheated)

Seen yesterday. 

[molemot]

I wasn't allowed to join the "Monster Raving Loony Party" ....

My chum Bonzo and I were in Ashburton for a drunken weekend and chanced upon their HQ. In a pub, obviously.... they were holding the annual contest for the Carnival Queen and Princess.

Don't ask.....(!)

Anyway, we chatted to the chap behind the bar who let on that the pub was the HQ of the MRLP....so it seemed appropriate for us to join. He went to get the forms and asked "What are you doing down here, then, lads??" ( for such we were, in those heady days...)

"Panning for gold on Dartmoor at Higher Piles" I replied.

Chap stopped dead. Put the forms back.

"Sorry, lads; too daft for us I'm afraid. We do have limits....!!"

And that is the nearest I have ever come to joining a political party.....

[Malcolm Feth]

The problem is...

Hilary is a shitty candidate for a president, if she cannot win with Trump (which all polls suggest).
Two worst candidates ever and one of them will win, unfortunately. Two previous US presidents were probably the worst in the history and now they are going to have third. Yeeyyy...

I hope Trump wins. Well, what worse can happen, right?

Do you really want 2 narcissists (Trump and Putin) playing chicken with nukes? Trump will be child's play for Putin to rattle his cage.

Hillary is no prize , but at least somewhat sane.

 

[C8RKH]

Really? I think Hilary might have a real nasty temper on her, cannot say for real as never met her, but whereas Trump will be all bluster and fluster to Putin I think Hilary just might throw the frying pan at him. Putin that is! Be very careful what you wish for. there.

[comem47]

Trump is all about Trump. He is a pathological liar. Never backs down when caught lying. There is good reason the Republicans are abandoning him left and right and some (like the Bushes) are openly voting for Hillary !!!. 

Look at news articles for background and you keep coming up with the same (and somehow Trump supporters dismiss all the facts that are found against him, not wanting to believe he can be THAT bad). Like I said , Hillary is bad too, but Trump is a total horror show. If he were the pilot of an airplane about to hit a mountain he would continue to argue with someone about his reputation as the plane crashed rather than get back to the important business at hand.

The thing with Hilary is......she's done the job before.....(!)

[Malcolm Feth]

I'm sure i can find milion links against Hilary. It's pointless.

Let's just grab a beer and popcorn and see what happens. I think Trump will win (for same reasons Brexit won).

[Iconic Ride]

[comem47]

A big step up. So much better than the current candidates. I'm still amazed at the choices we are stuck with. I really wish we could push the reboot button, but then again at this point I just want it over.  It's "Groundhog Day" in the worst way !!!

I feel your pain.

[molemot]

I saw this on Channel 4 last night.....worth a look. He draws some interesting comparisons with our "Brexit" cockup, too.

[Iconic Ride]

Thank you, John. Until now I'd only been able to catch one short segment of this presentation. Via your link I watched the entire "film" from start to finish in one go. 

How refreshing to hear the voice of reason so well conveyed. Yes, Michael Moore has a reputation for stirring up controversy on multiple topics, but he also has an incisive way of making one think things through, regardless of one's position.

So, is the good old US of A now stuffed and going to have to accept Trump after this latest batch of emails regarding Hillary and ISIS. I now first hand how big a prick he was up here with his all singing all dancing new golf coarse. Lying twat did everything to get it built and now local government are finding out how many broken promises he made on that one.
