Youri McAnespie Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) I've wrote on here before, there are folk who claim to be Conservatives (big c) here who'd be expelled from that party for their views in reality. The Republicans are a bit more tolerant of lunatic fringes but hopefully, like you say, the riots may have swung things back to a modicum of good sense. There will always be extreme elements, right and left, and the past decade they've been punching above their weight. Empty vessels making the most noise. But anything rotten will eventually collapse. With any luck we're witnessing the start of the rot. Maybe in five or ten years this place will be back to discussing tits, drink, drugs and Ghanaian tractor exporters* and utter wank 'politics' threads will be a thing of the past? Edit: * and football, sometimes I forget, football too. Edited January 31, 2021 by Youri McAnespie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trumps reign will be good for America in the long run, never should a man be so out of his depth be in the oval office Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driven by populism and a “silent majority” that were anything but. Which should be proof that it shouldn’t be allowed to happen again.

Murica I know you were a big fan of The Don, but an 80 year old politician is still light years ahead of an angry golfer with a track record of failed businesses and rabid narcissism. How many family members has Biden put in senior positions around the presidency? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump was a simply awful president and having your family surrounding you in such a position is more reminiscent of North Korea than a western democracy. I notice his supporters have skulked off and are licking their wounds in quiet, dark corners of the internet. In the end, it was a rather distasteful 4 years that will only be remembered for failure and, ultimately, paddying. As foretold by the Visionaries.

Ani Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 The biggest issue with Trump and the lesson US politics needs to learn is that so much power in one person is dangerous. It is bizarre that he was allowed to appoint his family to senior positions so his daughter seemed to have more power than any other Republican. They also face the same challenge as we do over here convincing people that politicians actually give a shit about 'average' people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your really are not allowed too, but the GOP didn't want to uphold the rule, they had the upper hand so they did fuck all. It now seems to have come back and bit them in the arse. Trump also was just told to hand over his tax returns last week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
