If the real truth about Clinton ever come out, this thread is going to be all bumpadelic, and Zenith will have to come back under a new user name.
Regardless of what I think about his persona and politics, if this happens then we're all in deep shit. Democracy is all about general agreement about the system to manage a country. If it becomes clear that guns can decide this instead then the rule of law falls apart.
Personally, whatever its faults, I prefer democracy to anarchy or theocracy. I know some people want to rip everything up and start again, but if overt strength and weapons become the means of ruling a country or, worse still in my mind, religion, then whatever gripes we've got about the current system will become as nothing compared to those alternatives on offer.
DT will present an alternative view of how to run a country. He'll need his wits about him to not fail badly, as there are lots of ways of preventing policies being enacted. If he's assassinated, then I'll be worried...
Interested stuff from Pilger. He certainly makes some strong and valid points about Clinton.
Democracy is completely shagged worldwide
Why do you speak as if anyone who voted for the Conservatives did so secretly and are all ashamed of it?
It may (see what I did there?) surprise you to learn that millions of people voted for the Conservatives at the last election and don't give a damn who knows it. The alternative was a broken labour cabal that would have just bankrupted the country again. Live with it!
I can live with it my poorly made point was about the pretend to care for others posters who act on here as liberal lefties to shut down arguments but voted Tory, the latest jonathan pie video whilst just a piss take hits the nail right on the head

Fair play, he's pretty much spot on. I'm seeing that opinion (that the left were the major cause of Brexit/Trump) in quite a few places and I can't help but agree with it.
Things were getting out of hand, people getting fired for voicing opinions, "safe spaces" in Universities, usage of multiple gender pro-nouns, forcing people to "respect" religions no matter how lunatic they are, leftists getting offended at every opportunity.
We're dropping bombs on families in some parts of the world, meanwhile back home a person can cause a national scandal just by calling someone a name deemed unacceptable in "modern society". It's insane.
There was bound to be some bounce back against it and we're seeing it happen all at once.
Obamacare is now been watered down , soon the wall will become a look out tower, he will pick on Putin when it right around the his 3rd year , ready for the next 4 .
He's a clever marketing man , he knows when to become vocal and controversial to a appease and play up to the masses who let be fair are the the brightest ,and when to step back ,can you imagine thousand of UK folk rocking up at events and rallies dressed like clowns cheering on politicians with hats and tee shirts , and then crying or becoming hysterical as per the Americans , we might get a little gathering but they are usually the loons , the rest of us are down the pub with Nigel .
What's the KKK's favourite football team?
Blackburn.
While I found Trump's campaign pledges unsavoury in the main, and welcome some revisions, I do wonder whether we can believe anything we hear politicians say before an election now?!
It used to take years before politicians and govt's stealthily squirmed out of pledges.
Now they can apparently come back a few days later with ' that? oh that?! ..the thing that got your vote? .. noo no noo! , we didn't mean that, we just wanted to get your vote .. and thanks for that . .sucker.. '
Twitter went mad! ..then Bake-off final was on.
I know ordinary decent hard working folk who vote Tory, they don't have big lifestyles, just think differently to others its called democracy , interestingly there are other voters in traditional labour heartlands voting even further right wing than the Tories with UKIP,now theirs a thought worth looking at .
Um the masses weren't motivated. This was a very poor turnout for an election. Almost 50% of voters didn't vote for anyone.
Trump got less votes than some losing candidates in recent elections, Hilary's support just collapsed even more.
Innuendo and mud slinging won the day and that just didn't seem to hurt trump as much as it did hilary
Totally agree Colonel.
We've turned into a nation of whinging pussies.
What needs to happen is that the Facebook and Twitter generation need to be either ignored or ridiculed for the whining fiuckwits that they are.
People on twitter are outraged because someone said something offensive - so fecking what. Get a life.
If I want to take the piss out of any religion (including the one for brown people) then I will thank you very much. If you're offended by that then oh well, that's you're prerogative. Personally I'm offended that you're offended.
If I want to take the piss out of something or someone then sometimes I might use offensive language - again, if it offends you then that's up to you. I'm certainly not going to be apologising for something that's meant in jest.
Making jokes about brown people, the disabled, religion, gays etc. doesnt make you the devil - if idiots on social media are too stupid to see that than I pity the fools that have nothing better to do with their lives than go after people with their faux outrage wanky bullshit.
There's only one thing worse than these joyless retards telling the world what's acceptable, and that's dickhead celebs/politicians etc. apologising for whatever misdemeanour they've inflicted on the world because they're desperate to salvage their career/reputation.
Just once wouldn't it be nice for one of these people to stand their ground? How much better would it have been if that gymnast bloke, instead of issuing some grovelling apology had come out and said "Yeah so I was taking the piss out of Islam, it was just two young blokes pissing about and having a laugh, nobody got hurt and there's no need for outrage so feck off and report some real news for once"
Of course nobody wants to return to the days where blacks, women, gays, disabled etc. were seen as inferior but it's almost as if we've gone completely the other way and now we are all expected to tiptoe around how we speak or treat 'minorities' just in case we offend someone or use the wrong terminology. The irony is that all these people really want is to be treated the same as everyone else, but by patronising them as though they're too 'fragile' to deal with anything even mildly offensive, they're still being marginalised and treated differently.
Anyway, that's my Monday morning rant over. Off to the doctors now. Hopefully it won't be a brown Muslim woman doctor otherwise I'll barely be able to make eye contact, let alone speak.
