Democracy, hey?

Who'd have thought US voters would have elected the imbecile candidate, with the scarily repressive running mate, with no checks and balances due to the conservative congress majority.

After brexit and now this, I just don't think I understand people and their choices anymore...

People are sick of the bullshit. The media are losing their power. The SMH made me nauseas with their bias during this whole camoaign.

Fair dinkum...

The media is actually more powerful than ever - SMH doesn't actually target US voters in its readership.

Fox News is media, and has a huge influence providing conservative spin to Americans.

All media is bullshit, but alas peopke aren't sick of it, and it is still powerful in its hold over the more easily led.

What bullshit? The opposite opinion to yours?

Relax guys, I'm sure Donald won't accept the result of a corrupt system that saw the candidate with the majority of the popular vote lose.

Well not one thing written about Trump was untrue. He is without a doubt a massive merkin. It's just that the citizens of the US elected him anyway. Like I heard one guy say yesterday ...

"He might be an arsehole, but he'll be our arsehole. It's time we had an arsehole in charge. "

Yep. Trump had a good year or more of free advertising on Fox News.

But at the end of the day, in due season, when all is said and done, when push came to shove, when Jackie Howe met Jackie Howe, the worst candidate in history beat the 2nd worst candidate in history.

320 million people to pick from and it was left to these 2 morons

Clearly there are alot more people fed up than anyone thought

Will be interesting to see what happens - how he goes when he really has to deliver

It'll certainly be interesting to see if he actually goes through with his threats to tax Chinese imports at 45%, and to (potentially) walk away from the Pacific free trade stuff. I'd watch my house prices in 2-3 years times if I was in one or two Aust cities. He also risks forcing more small nations into the Chinese sphere of influence. But....I suspect he won't even try to do half the shit he has spoken about.

 

[strider]

Yeah i think when it comes to it he is a bit of a big talker, but wont follow through with stuff if it legitimately seems daft

Avenger will be crying in his cornflakes in 4 years time when Kanye West is voted in as the president of derpsville

Who the f**k cares what this f**kwit thinks? Seriously is he even alive?

The well educated are out in force tonight on social media over how badly Trump will affect their lives all the way from the other side of the world........

It's funny how many American political experts there have been the last year.......people who can barely string 2 sentences together and voted labour purely cause they thought they were losing welfare benefits are all of a sudden experts.....

 

[Kornstar]

Also, what does one give a name for someone like me who thinks Trump getting in is very amusing simply because it has annoyed so many people?
