Vidcapper completey ignoring the posts that Cody made, but then again he hates all black music so I can't say I'm surprised.

 

Why is he allowed to post again?

 

That means he hates all music apart from classical or folk. Without blues, a form of music created and performed by predominantly black artists in America, there is no rock music.

 

Pop and dance most likely come from jazz, also predominantly created and performed by black musicians originally.

Apparently references to the Muslim ban and pulling out of the Paris Agreement have been removed from Trump's website. I want to believe this means those aren't actually going to happen.

Hopefully he does what most politicians do and implements as little of what he promised during the campaign as possible. In this case it's the only option

CNN are saying that Islamic State have celebrated Donald Trump becoming president.

I actually don't think he'll last more than a year or two. He'll get fed up and resign. According to someone on Question Time last night, he said to John Kasich when asking if he wanted to be his running mate "you'll be the most powerful VP ever as I don't really want the job so you'd be doing it in all but name" I don't think he did really want it and is maybe as surprised as us that he won!!

Obama apparently 'very encouraged' after the meeting he had with Trump today. I get the feeling he isn't going to be quite as bad as being made out, although I'm probably being too simplistic.

You may be right, but Theresa May was being all "I want to make this country work for everyone, blah blah blah" when she won the Conservative party leadership. That disappeared pretty quickly, and I don't see why Trump would be any different, unfortunately.

The new president once described his daughter as "a nice piece of ass"

 

Let that sink in.............

 

 

Again, just locker room talk.

Again, just locker room talk.

:rolleyes:

 

Sexualising your own daughter is not 'just locker room talk', that's taking it way too far. Not to mention so unprofessional for a future POTUS..

Again, just locker room talk.

 

Wtf is this "it's just locker room talk" excuse? So if I walk into a locker room, I'm allowed to say whatever the hell I want? "I hate black people", "gay people deserve to be wiped out by AIDS". LMFAO DON'T WORRY IT IS JUST LOCKER ROOM TALK. Bullshit.

Again, just locker room talk.

An example of a Trump supporter: https://twitter.com/nick_ramsey/status/796908208241643520 - This was amusing and shocking.

 

Why do they all seem so far off grips with reality? I shouldn't generalise, but there seems to be a huge trend in nutters with his supporters, that you just don't see as much with the Dem supporters.

CNN are projecting when all the votes are in Trump will be winning the popular vote too but regardless the argument doesn't really make a lot of sense as the candidates based their campaigns on the system and target the battleground states. Trump didn't bother with California and New York for example as he knew it was pointless. They both would have targeted differently if it was one person one vote and the result cannot be predicted.

Pretty much all the electoral experts are baffled at how CNN came to that projection - most of the votes left to be counted are in places like California and not in areas that notably skew Republican.

Think this deserves a watch:

 

 

I think everyone can be guilty of this but, to progress, there does need to be more of an allowance of discussion and that should come from everyone. We are straying to hard into everyone getting punished for things that are slightly offensive but we should be creating discussion out of that rather than just blocking it out that these things are happening. This discussion should come from everyone though, for example I'm still waiting for vidcappers response to Cody's reply to his original message.

Again, just locker room talk.

 

YAY! "locker room talk" :D

 

Again, just locker room talk.

Why can't celebrities and politicians realise that they are in the public eye and therefore might be role models for someone. At least TRY to act decent. I mean he MUST have the PR team who advise him what to say and what not to say.

Hillary's vote count edging up - now at 63.4m. Starting to reach the point where any shortfall on 2012's 65 million could be almost entirely explained by the systematic voter suppression and unpicking of the Voting Rights Act enacted since 2013 (300,000 were turned away from the polls in Wisconsin *alone* - a state decided by 27,000 votes). Particularly apposite given the most notable fall in turnout is happening almost exclusively in demographic groups that had a positive view of Hillary Clinton. I don't think it can be ignored that the Republicans have done everything in their power to rig the system over the last decade, particularly when taken alongside the systematic gerrymandering of House seats.

 

Obviously that isn't really much of a salve though, given it's not something the Democrats will be able to solve with a magic wand in 2020. That said, in light of the likes of Russ Feingold in Wisconsin losing by bigger margins than Hillary and single-payer healthcare getting defeated 80-20 in Colorado, I'm not really sure what *is* a way forward in winning back the kinds of voters described in pieces like this. Anti-establishment politics is a key part of the appeal, but it's pretty clear that nationalism and racial undertones are pivotal to it too - and you can imagine exactly how those types of voters would react to proposals that they in any way pay more for the expansion of the state. I don't see how the Democrats can even begin to interact with that.

I'm scared that all of this is edging closer and closer to a civil war and that's something just as terrifying as Trump

Well, I suppose the Second Amendment had to come in useful eventually.

I doubt that very much. These racist and sexist incidents are very isolated and there were racist attacks reported straight after Brexit here but I haven't heard of any recently. It's just bravado reaction by a few idiots happy that he won against all the odds. Haven't read about anyone actually being attacked yet. Also we'd probably have had demonstrations etc had Clinton won, by the Trump supporters. Once we get to the Inauguration which will be a great day and one that I'm personally looking forward to immensely then everything will be fine.
