I would have thought Trump and the Roman Catholic Church would get on very well? The Vatican set up the "Rat line" after WW2 to assist Nazi murders and high ranking SS officers to escape to Bolivia,Argentina,Chile etc - they are both bigoted racists.All trump has won is the votes of Rednecks and militia nut cases - don't think he will get the votes that count! People will vote to keep him out of white house not put him in
might be cheaper and safer for the rest of us if hilary was to pay and organize the registration of the disenfranchised
Hahaha - be a great move! When the US Financial institutions looked at Trumps grossly embelished personal wealth claims recently they calculated that if he had invested his share of the family real estate business in "blue chip stocks" he would currently be worth about $10 Billion! They have calculated his accurate worth closer to $1.2 Billion! And this is the financial genius that wants to head the USA economy? Good luck - they will be skint within 24 months !
Mind you - you have to remember that it's the same country that put JFK (proper crook),Nixon (bigger crook),Gerald Ford (Numpty),2 Bushes (1 crook,1 moron) and not forgetting Ronny Regan (space cadet) in the Whitehouse!
It is possible that even if Trump wins the Republican nomination, he will still be so toxic to the average American that they'll all vote Hilary, who seems to be a lot more mainstream. It will probably pan out like that. In which case, maybe it's good that Trump is so hideous. Let us not forget that pretty much all the Republican candidates are toxic. Check out what they believe in. It's not pretty.
There's an old joke that the best way to make a small fortune is to start off with a large fortune. Mr Trump exemplifies this. The way he deals with people who draw attention to his repeated bankruptcies, business losses, and exaggerations of worth is simply barefaced denial. In fact he is the leading expert in barefaced denial techniques since the demise of Robert Maxwell.
Yes, but on the other hand Lyndon Johnson, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama were pretty good, given the limitations of the hands they were dealt. And Franklin Delano Roosevelt was one of the truly great men of the 20th century.
I thought Lyndon Johnson was in favour of carpet bombing Vietnam? Or do I have him confused with someone else?
Remind me of Bill Clinton's achievements, apart from seducing his intern? Not saying he didn't have any, but nothing is leaping out at me at the moment. True, he wasn't actively toxic and he does play the saxophone.
And what about The Terminator as king dick in California? And California is quite liberal by American standards. If I was anti-Trump I'd be a bit nervous right now. It'll be fun watching the world media ramping up the Trump hatred, like they did with that bint from Alaska. And at the other end of the scale they were fawning all over Obama, the twat.
He reintroduced and ramped up the Community Reinvestment Act effectively forcing financial institutions on pain of litigation to extend home buying loans to almost anyone who applied for them. The idea was to extend home ownership to all classes of US society and bring about a sort of Thatcherite home owning revolution, particularly among the black and Hispanic poor to try and reduce the social divide. What it actually did was enable people to by-pass their normally prohibitive credit histories and apply for loans they would never in normal circumstance have been granted. The chronically impoverished, the feckless and people on welfare took out loans they had no hope of ever repaying. Further deregulation allowed lenders to bundle (or hide) these "sub-prime" loans in financial investment vehicles I think they were called and sell them on the international markets. When the inevitable defaults began and turned from a trickle into a torrent lenders found their entire portfolios became toxic and the scene was set for a massive banking crash. He wasn't solely responsible for the mess but Clinton bears a heavy responsibility for the sub-prime crisis but it is rarely acknowledged as its much more fun to demonise Republicans. Though I don't know why everyone was surprised because it takes a privately educated liberal with inherited wealth to come up with the idea of encouraging the poor to borrow their way out of poverty.
As it happens Bill Clinton's background was very modest indeed, and there was very little wealth in it. He pulled himself up by his own bootstraps. Please disregard this though - never let inconvenient facts get in the way of a good story.
No I won't disregard it because you're quite right, I stand corrected. I know he had a good education but I wasn't aware he'd paid for much of it himself through working and studying. I'm tarring him with the Kennedy brush perhaps because he idolised JFK. I stand by my other points though.
@ MH - Ref : "Bet that's your bird down there isn't it?.... Eh? Eh? Eh?" That's not a bird; that is clearly a sheep. Different thing entirely. I would have thought that even someone with you limited mental ability would have been able to see that... But then again, there are people who intend to vote for Donald Trump, so obviously there are some pretty stupid people in the world...
