American Election Discussion

MrsGrey

This discussion was created from comments split from: The UK is Out - New PM - and whither now for Article 50.

Nigel Farage asks if ‘Today is America’s Brexit Day’,

Gets reminded of actual historical events; a few tweets in reply:

‘We literally Brexited 240 years ago’.
'Dont think so. The American Brexit was in 1776.'
'You're about 240 years late, jackass...'

Imagine, just imagine him running a political party, oh wait a minute..... ;lol

I am in the midst of watching the US election and it is getting really scary, Trump has just taken Ohio and it looks like he will get Florida,.

When I wake up,tomorrow morning, he just might be the new President of the United States.

I am absolutely stunned.

;weep

Democracy is great if it listens to the people it is meant to represent. I said a few pages back, Nigel Farage WILL be welcoming President Trump to The UK in a couple of years. I`m not sure what the lessons are or who will be the teachers, but something positive may come from it all.

And one final point, I think, worthy though their goals are, when you have groups like Black Lives Matter, the natural antithesis of this if one follows logic is White Lives Matter. Surely, if we want to move forward, the message should be All Lives Matter, else we end up with the divisions now evident in the UK and the USA.

America what have you done?!

MrsGrey

Unbelievable.

We had a 4am gathering here to watch it. Quickly became a very depressing room, especially as the one guy trying to do the maths for how she could still win ran out of options.

MrsGrey

So depressing.

So few checks and balances remaining.

Anybody else feeling a bit less safe this morning? ;puzzled

SuzanneClaret

Lets face it neither were a good option, I'd rather of had the Pillsbury Doughboy in charge but you have to fear for humanity when Trump is elected the leader of the biggest free world country.

IronHerb

I think the US may just have become the biggest reality show in the world. ;nonono

Anyone else going to have a bet on Trump getting impeached within the year?

SuzanneClaret

If Trump is now the President will he lock her up ? ;hmm

On 28th November Trump is due to testify in the Low vs. Trump University trial in front of the judge he accused of being biased because he's Mexican. Judge Gonzalo Curiel was born in Indiana.

This should be interesting.....

Apparently something like 30% of Latinos voted for him. Really hard to understand.

Politics aside. What REALLY annoys me about Trump is that thing he CONTINUALLY does with his fingers. As in the picture linked by NE.

WHAT IS THAT ALL ABOUT.............. ;angry
