Title: Surely that's the end of Donald
Post by: STEMO on 20 October 2016, 17:07:21
More allegations of sexual impropriety on the news.

What would happen if he was investigated and charged? Would the Republicans have to field another candidate or would the election be postponed?  :-\

I am really surprised why Trump didn't ask what a bunch of women talk about when the wine is flowing and there are no blokes about  ::)

Spot on, Mr gonads.....years ago we had a decorating job at a greengrocer wholesalers shop in Wycombe. By 'eck, did I hear things in the canteen. All women with only a couple of blokes, who made themselves scarce at break times. The talk was way, way filthier and to the point to what I have ever experienced in a 'bloke' canteen :o :o :o Have to say, some of it lower than gutter filth!!!!

About 10 years ago at Lidl where the missus worked, the staff consisted of about 10 women and 1 bloke.
The amount of shit that bloke took on all fronts was unbelievable to the point that he left and moved to another store  ::)

This sudden emergence of 'victims' must be costing the Democrats a small fortune. Besides, perhaps it is the cynic in me, but hasn't Donald been running for the Presidency for over two years? And has he not been an outspoken public figure for the bulk of his adult life?

You mean the independent candidate Evan Mcmullin. Looks like he might win in Utah, but has no chance overall. Ex-CIA spook, who is the IMO the only credible one of the five POTUS candidates. Would be firm but worldly and sensible enough not to start WWIII.

We are talking about possible megalomaniacs here.

No one in their right mind would think they could win a nuclear war but we all know that there are idiots people who think we could.

M.A.D. has seen us keep our nuclear pistols in their respective holsters up until now, let's hope the new President remembers that and forgets about the possibility of a pre-emptive strike.

Exactly. The media do this to us now and again. At the moment, Russian naval vessels are passing close to our shores and the BBC would have us believe it is akin to an invasion. "They are saying to us 'Look at you, you don't even have an aircraft carrier'" said one correspondent. "The threat of nuclear war grows every day".

Errrr....no.

Nothing has changed with respect to nuclear war. In the seventies Russia and America had enough nuclear weapons to wipe each other off the face of the world. We had an acronym for it....MAD. Mutually Assured Destruction. Neither one could ever actually win, and that remains the case.
So...the Russians are mocking us for not having an aircraft carrier, the have ONE.

In the absence of the threat of nuclear war, Russia is a minnow compared to the US in terms of military capability. If it came to a shoot-out, despite heavy losses, the US would surely prevail.

All of us 60 somethings went through this in the 60/70s, it is nothing new to us.

As Clinton is the Goldman Sachs preferred candidate are we to assume the dollar will plummetsgainst the pound if Trump manages to get elected.?

That was started by Clinton when he brought pressure on the financial institutions to allow millions of Americans to buy the homes they rented. The small fact that many of them would never be able to pay their mortages, didn't seem to figure to highly, until it it all unravelled.
The UK should have been almost immune from the effects, but we had a decade of Gordon McRuin, the worst Chancellor in memory.
He had phenomenal tax recipts coming into the Treasury, due to the biggest economic boom of our lifetime, but not only did he waste every penny of it, he borrowed previously unheard of amounts of money and wasted all of that too.
He doubled the NHS budget and made it worse, he went berserk with the PFI initiative to build lots of new hospitals which wouldn't have to be paid for until he had long gone - cynical doesn't begin to cover it, and of course he sold the nations gold reserves at the bottom of the market.
He told the bankers to brush off any criticism and carry on regardless, then when it all went tits up, he pointed his finger at those same bankers.

Yep and if a nuclear attack is imminent, quite rightly so. But Trump looks at them as just another weapon in the armoury to be used as an when you feel like. From his speeches I think that would include a few on the Middle East to see if it helps! :o :o :o

At the end of the day, all Trump has said is that if ANYBODY starts throwing even one at the USA or its citizens, they will turn that country into a big smouldering hole.

I don't see anything wrong with that and tbh, the world would be a safer place if everybody who has nukes had the same attitude because everybody knows where the line is  ;)

On the other hand, your mate Putin changed the law a few years ago so that Russia can use there nukes as a first strike weapon in any confrontation if the commanders on the ground deem it necessary  :o
Now THAT is friggin scary  :(
Whether the Russian commander on the ground is willing to open up that box is another thing  :-\

The world isn't a nice friendly place sadly Al  :(

When the old USSR bankrupted and nearly starved itself back in the late 80's by trying to keep up with the west, the west had a chance to wipe the slate clean and treat Russia like any other nation.
We didn't take that chance and knowing the Russians are absolutely paranoid about everything, we went about rubbing there nose it by pushing east towards Russia's borders making them even more paranoid.
Then we stuck our noses into Bosnia (were atrocities was been carried out by ALL factions) and through NATO, we attacked Belgrade and Serbia (who had very close ties to Russia).
Since then, we let everyone of Russia's neighbours either join the EU, NATO or both  ::)

Putin sees the west as a bunch of spineless pussies and he is right so he is going to take back through hook or crook the nations around him so he has his shield like in the Warsaw Pact days and then maybe he will settle down a little.

What has this got to do with Trump You ask ??

Its because Trump isn't picking a fight with Russia like Clinton and every other western world leader  :(

Did anyone see the item on Sky News this morning about manipulating voters through social media. capturing info on preferences etc etc and then targetting them, in this case with Vote Trump. Amazingly it was a UK company (Cambridge something or other I think) operating in London.

Where will it end and who is regulating it? At least with TV and Newspaper advertising you can all "see it". Wait till they introduce AI into the mix to well and truly control you all (Can't include myself as I only use Facebook and then very infrequently and I am impervious to influence - honest). I have enough trouble with AI ringing my relatives and wishing them a happy Birthday on my behalf. ;D ;D

But Trump looks at them as just another weapon in the armoury to be used as an when you feel like. From his speeches I think that would include a few on the Middle East to see if it helps! :o :o :o
Like all politicians, what he says to the popularist voters (ie, the stupid ones) bears absolutely no relation to what he would do if they were daft enough to vote him in.


Not dissimilar to how we meandered into voting to leave Europe, as it was voted on on immigration mostly (by the popularists, ie the stupid). We all know that it will have no impact at all on immigration.
