Off Topic OLOF's political thread

I do think the police were wrong to shoot him seven times in the back.


One bullet in the head would have sufficed

 

You cannot be serious! CNN is hilarious

 

I do have a question for everyone.
What happens if Trump wins?

I don't think the radical left will accept the result but how bad do you think it would get?

I'm asking because the most accurate poll, apparently since it's picked 25 of the last 27 Presidents, gives Trump a 91% chance of winning.

 

It's CNN, Blono, of course it's fake news. The 'man' said so.

 

The world

Not a poll - a predictive model. There are plenty of other models with good records seeing it differently. But of course he can win. If there are enough half wits to vote him in 4 years ago, then there’s enough to do it again - especially with weak opposition.

It will likely hinge on corona and economy over the next few months - or at least the tango man’s ability to convince his audience that any bad news is fake news.

If he wins, the world will collectively roll its eyes in wonderment and carry on. There’ll be protests but what can they do.

Be interesting to see what wacky sh*t he comes up with when he doesn’t need to worry about being re-elected..

 

Hmmm, vote for the 74 yr old or the 78 yr old!
Tough choice for the local bowls club let alone the biggest job in the world.

 

Better question is "What will Trump do if he loses?" I can see him hanging on to the White House for grim death if the election doesn't go his way. We had a State Premier who, having lost the election, refused to give up his office and had to be cajoled into leaving.

 

I said two at the time.

 

And there is the tooth fairy flying overhead. What ****ing planet are these morons on.

 

He will probably just go back to running his empire. Personally I can't understand him for putting himself through all this grief.

 

He's a megalomaniac?

 

If Trump wins then it will be the American peoples choice, simple. I personally don't think it would be the right one but as long as my shares keep going up I couldn't say I'm too bothered by this choice, the people of the USA will deserve it.

 

Not a great thing to type on the screen but could be an honest mistake. The President however is a repeat offender and these comments come from his own mouth.

 

I checked the first two:

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-nuke-hurricanes/

"Trump explained his statements outside the White House on Friday by noting that the teleprompter he was using to deliver his speech had experienced some technical difficulties. “The teleprompter did go out and it was actually hard to look at anyway because there was rain all over it but despite the rain it was just a fantastic evening,” Trump told reporters."

Need I go on.....

I don't post opinions and I check my facts before I post them but it was a mistake to say it was a poll not a model.

 

that's just your opinion

 

That video was an opinion piece by TYT who are pro Bernie Sanders. They're further left than Biden.
They backed the wrong horse.

 

I agree. In a country of over 300m they must have about 299m better candidates than these two old pensioners but the system is flawed, it's too expensive.

The real fight in America should be to improve the voting system.

 

Tell me honestly do you think Trump is sane, in the regular meaning of the word?

 

As someone said, he's a megalomaniac. I used to watch the Apprentice so I'm not at all surprised at his behaviour but here's the important bit. You want a businessman running the country.
He's not a great businessman but he's a celebrity so people knew of him.
The general public, of any side, distrust politicians. There are notable exceptions like Obama but I'm not sure people saw him as a politician. Trump gave them an opportunity to vote against a politician, Hillary, and the Democrats learned nothing. They should have backed a candidate that would appeal to the public.
Biden isn't that person. I bet you have Americans resigning themselves to voting for Trump because they fear the alternative.
Kier Starmer might have beaten Boris.
