Row with his Mother in Law

Better than bottling it up, I suppose.

Jesus he was married?

Because they weren’t found with a giant cache of child pornography on their computer

Seriously though, I actually advocated for your reinstatement here

Mainly only knew you by reputation. But basically said, that even if someone is being a tit that if you can’t deal with it just ignore it....don’t want to make GW one of those wanky safe spaces

Herbert for mod

How fortuitous this rule doesn't extend to everyone.

You sound like you expect a genuine politician to arrive at some point? I'm not bothered at all about Trump. I'm entirely satisfied to see the old establishment that looked unassailable being crushed. I'm happy to see their agenda halted and destroyed. I'm happy to see some of the miscreants being exposed. This is all good news for anyone who wants to see the status quo rocked and tipped over. It's the only way that change can occur. The change might be good, it might be bad. If bad, it gets tipped again at some point. If good it's something to build on. When was progress ever going to be anything but slow, painful, chaotic? But globalisation offered zero progress for humanity on every front. So of course it had to be destroyed. And that's happening now, so sure, I'm mightily pleased. If you're asking if I think Trump is going to knock and my door and offer me a bag of favours, no, not really. If you're saying he does what he does out of self interest, fine, but so what? What does that matter? Who did you expect in office, the Buddha? Not really his scene, is it? The real bonus with Trump is comedy. He's put the belly laugh back into politics. If he's such a mindless fool, as his critics would have you believe, why does he have those same critics falling over themselves to makes fools of each other? Have you ever seen such a merry dance? Trump collusion for a whole year (and I'm starting to wonder now if he did it on purpose) that culminates in scandal and treason charges for Clinton. Politics and partisanship aside, that's genuinely entertaining. Seeing the establishment eat itself to the accompaniment of decent comedy - it works for me.

Hilary Clinton again? I swear the only people who give a shit about this woman are Trump defenders and herself

I don’t give a shit what she did or didn’t do. The fact that the sad old bitch is a poster child for everything certain people think is wrong with the world is a joke in itself.

As to whether Trump colluded with Putin or agents directly or indirectly to get himself elected?. I don’t know, I’m prepared to believe he was stupid enough not to know Paul Manaforts connections with Russia, let alone that Facebook openly admitted to getting paid for political ad space in Roubles. Whatever you want to claim to be lies and fake news I think it’s beyond doubt that he was the candidate of choice for the Russian kakistocracy and I’m not really sure Vladimir Putin is an opponent of Globalisation (especially if the rules are rigged in his favour).
Although at the end of the day, especially seeing as we look upon the world and human nature in entirely different ways I don’t want you to think in anyway that I think I’m capable of persuading you of anything.
It’s just clarifying that whilst I understand and appreciate many of your sentiments that you’ve got all your work in front of you to convince me that Trump is going to do anything meaningful.
A well educated six year old can point out the vast flaws that exist in society, doesn’t mean they are capable of doing anything about them.
The only thing I’m going to agree with you on about Trump is his comedy factor, I follow him on Twitter and I take endless delight as his childish petulance.
In a very small way I feel sorry for him because I genuinely think he’s becoming increasingly unwell, which will only go to show that the mischief a president can inflict on their country tends to be largely oversold, partly because the office of the president isn’t that powerful, partly because he’s so dysfunctional that he’s barely done anything.
A sitting president achieves the most in their first two years of office and....he’s tweeted a lot.
Lo verily the city of Sodom is falling down around us

Trump is objectively entertaining but he does wield more power than is healthy for someone of his...temperament.
And to say the president is not powerful, he's more powerful than a reality TV star which was his previous job and is about the level of power I'm comfortable with him having.

Manafort was campaign chairman for all of 1 month not the whole campaign. The only beauty of Trump is that he beat the defacto winner. The shoo-in who thought all she had to do was sign up and still used every underhand tool at her disposal to undermine the only challenger for the Dem nomination; The woman who admitted destroying evidence and whose husband was chatting with the AG days before a decision on her pending case was due. Politics stinks but this woman carries the stench of all that is despicable about cronyism and corruption as her own particular eau de toilette. Trump has the maturity of a teen but I would still (if i could) vote for him ahead of the vile Clinton. A 5 star general got jail time for pillow talk on sensitive issues with his mistress while Clinton gets a bye for destroying federal evidence.
My take on the Russian thing is mostly that this is the entrenched power fortresses revenge after not getting their way. They wont be sated until he leaves, likely a 1 term affair.

The real tragedy is how the US system left us with 2 odious entities as the only choice.

Manafort May be the tip of the iceberg, the likelihood is that both Flynn and the Guy with the Greek sounding name have “flipped”.

The Democrats are mainly making a beef about Clinton now because of how terrible and balless they all are, worse than the Republicans in some ways. Did Donna Brazile help Clinton over the line? Of course she did the Clintons practically owned the DNC for over twenty years. The joke is she came up against America’s answer to Jeremy Corbyn (although a bit unfair as I think Bernie is far smarter and more articulate than Corbyn) because none of the other usual suspects even had the cajones to throw their hat into the ring.

I don’t disagree that the US system left the electorate with two shitty choices, I would have unenthusiastically gone for the rapists wife because I genuinely think the Populist sociopaths are even worse than the status quo crooks.

That says a lot because I loathe the Clintons.
