This bit of commentary in my red top made me laugh this morning:

Linky

Same over here with all those EU loving luvvies. They just don't get it.

:rofl:

Re: US Election 2016
 

Protests are not a surprise, they would have happened if Hillary won too. But there is no doubt in my mind that some are organised and some of today's rowdy youth are just joining the bandwagon.

But to smash up peoples property and burn stuff is a step too far. Let them have their protests but attacking other people and their property is not the answer it won't change anything.

Re: US Election 2016
 

Yeah protests are fine. That is also part of democracy. It would be different if Clinton or senior Democrats refused to accept the result but they're not. Clinton conceded quickly, give a gracious speech, Obama invited him to the White House as per tradition and both give statements about unifying behind the next President.

They can protest and work to defeat him at a local level, at the mid-terms in two years and try and make him a one-term President. Some protesters can say 'not my President' but I imagine the inauguration will go ahead anyway.....

Re: US Election 2016
 

Agreed but some are making calls for his assassination and this is just ridiculous and dangerous, all because of the refusal to accept the democratic result.

For those who missed Clinton's concession speech,




It was gracious, like Trump Victory speech was earlier that day. (Need to scroll to 6 minutes in for Hillary if you don't want to see Tim Kaine speech)

Re: US Election 2016
 

I imagine there'll be massive protests on that day.

Re: US Election 2016
 

To be fair, Americans have form on this if they don't agree with who is elected, including some broadcasters...

The election is over, the people have spoken, they now need to make it work for everyone.

Re: US Election 2016
 

Wow, it all happens while I'm away... :)

I think the same thing happened there as in the UK with the mainstream media and pundits not really believing that there's as much frustration and anger outside of their cosseted little world as there evidently is. I don't think they really listen to people but tend to write off those who dare to have a different view on life as a mad, prejudiced, minority who don't matter. As a result of this delusional behaviour there's now a phenomenon known as GBBE - Gordon Brown Bigot Effect - and we've seen it in action with UKIP/Brexit and now we're seeing it in action again in the US. This is what happens when growing swathes of the electorate turn away from those who either disregard their views or cynically promise what they know they have no intention of delivering, backed up by the plethora of vastly rich holier than thou 'celebrities' who've done rather well out of the status quo.

Anyway, lets see how many of those who shouted out how they'd leave the US if Trump was elected will actually do so. I wonder if they'll outnumber their high profile UK 'Remainer' counterparts who're so ashamed and are no doubt heading off to live in the politically stable and moderate EU Utopia in droves as I write... :rolleyes:

Re: US Election 2016
 

People are fed up with their concerns not being addressed and that they are simply dismissed as an -ist of one sort or another. The high number of female and minority voters for Trump demonstrate that it wasn't the Trump voters that were an -ist. All the anti-Trump whingers saying that groups X, Y, and Z wouldn't vote for Trump just went to show that it was groups X, Y, and Z that were -ist. Eg Women would vote for Clinton simply because she's a woman, Mexicans wouldn't vote for Trump because of what he had said, Puerto Ricans wouldn't vote for him because he questioned Puerto Rico getting US money.

Re: US Election 2016
 

Paul Daniels, Frank Bruno, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Jim Davison all promised to leave the UK if Labour won the '97 election. None of them did it, which outraged those who it convinced to vote Labour!

Anyway let's hope Trump didn't mean 90% of what he spouted. Has the wall started yet (good news for brickies)? Is Hillary in chains? Will all Muslims be banned from entry ?

Only consolation is not living there.

Re: US Election 2016
 

And there's the disconnect. He has to mean what he says as that is what got him elected no?

Re: US Election 2016
 

Nothing wrong with peaceful protests but sadly there are always some who are always very keen to hijack these protests and damage people properties which is totally unacceptable.

Re: US Election 2016
 

I honestly think it was inspite of his policies/gaffs he got elected. The main attraction being that he isn't Hilary or part of the Washington establishment. One Republican last night looked quite embarrased when questioned about some of the policies. He said the wall was probably a 'metaphorical' wall, not a real one ! Be hilarious if he really does mean it, 2000 miles long with machine gun towers and maybe a luxury hotel built in :D It'll make the Berlin wall look pathetic.

Re: US Election 2016
 

Same luvvies who said they would take in "refugees" to their notting hill mansions.how's that pledge going?
