Hillary, you failed. You were up against one of the least popular and most polarising candidates in U.S history, and you couldn't even get enough electoral college seats to defeat him. You flipped the typically Democratic working class population towards the Republicans.

Fuck off.

One thing I've always loved about Trump's voter fraud claims is that Hillary had these 3-5 million illegal votes but decided not to put them in states she knew she needed to win. Seems counterproductive really.

A week after Donald Trump vowed to unite the country like never before, he has just ordered his administration to publish a weekly list of the crimes committed by immigrants.

Now I don't want to be that guy who says that Trump is literally Hitler, but this same tactic was used by the Nazis to reinforce the stereotype that Jews are predisposed to crime.

Meanwhile Chief Strategist Steve Bannon has called the mainstream media the opposition party and told them to "keep its mouth shut".

With so many fuckwits protesting did you really not expect the media to get behind this sort of thing?

Comparing Hitler and Trump is literally hilarious. I don't like Trump at all but fuck me dude Hitler waged war on the planet and killed millions of people. Trump has made a few idiotic comments and riled up the ferals and feminists. Calm down.

Unfortunately, people in business (the private sector) overestimate their abilities that can be applied outside of business.
They struggle to grasp a concept like "if I want heart surgery, I don't go to a dentist"
The reason they overestimate their abilities, is because they overreach with the complexity of 'success' & 'achievement'. They erroneously think that making millions in business means they are a 'competent' or 'capable' human being, that can be transferred to anything. It also doesn't take account in many instances that these people have committed many crimes to achieve their wealth & in many cases it is very easy to break the law, as it is relatively too expensive for government to police corporate criminality adequately & government departments work on the '80/20 rule' of prosecuting. Until it was caught up with, 7 Eleven was one of the more prominent cases. Its worth noting that Donald Trump has filed several Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases in the past for his various businesses.
Past research has shown that Chief Executive Officers have the highest level of psychopathy of any job role/position in any field. It follows that those managers underneath who are 'working their way up' would have some level of psychopathy as well.
This also suggests, that managers & business owners in many cases manipulated & bullied people to make their wealth, not because they utilised ingenuity & innovation.
A psychopath would make a poor president, considering that empathy is important in engaging the populace.

He's a cnut, plain & simple - plenty of past evidence to demonstrate it

You are referring to Benghazi, yes?

God Trumpy is so easy to bait haha

Makes me wonder when journos are gonna start banding together when it comes to questions being asked.

If he wants to just skip a certain outlet or a certain question, the journalists need to band together and make sure the next one asks the same question, and on and on.

That's the thing, he won't let anything slide. Anything he perceives as the slightest attack against him simply cannot slide.

The President deserves respect, I don't blame him. 

Respect is earned, not given.

He has earned it, he won the majority vote.

No he didn't. 

I meant Electoral College, popular vote don't mean shit.

The video in the linked article gives you an idea how removed from reality Trump voters are.
Their thought processes are the type of stuff you would do psychological & neuroscientific research into

Trump aide Bannon lambasts US media as 'opposition party'

President Donald Trump's chief strategist has described US mainstream media as "the opposition party", saying it should "keep its mouth shut".
Stephen Bannon also told the New York Times that news organisations had been "humiliated" by their failure to anticipate Mr Trump's election victory.
Media outlets have clashed with the White House over the number of people attending Mr Trump's inauguration.
They have also questioned his claim about millions of illegal ballots.

In a telephone interview with the newspaper, Mr Bannon said that "the media should be embarrassed and humiliated and keep its mouth shut and just listen for a while".
"The media here is the opposition party," he said and later added "not the Democratic party".
Mr Bannon also argued that news outlets "don't understand this country".
"They still do not understand why Donald Trump is the president of the United States."
During the interview he was mostly referring to the "mainstream" or "elite" media, however he specifically mentioned the The New York Times and The Washington Post.

He spoke in blunt but calm tones, peppered with a dose of profanities, The New York Times said.
Mr Bannon had been in charge of right-wing Breitbart News website until August, later becoming the campaign CEO for Donald Trump in the final campaign months before the November election.

All true. 

Trump/Bannon and the mainstream media is going to be a shit fight for the ages. These guys (Trump et al) live for this stuff.

lol Trumps victory was a big F U  by normie Americans to the mainstream media and now Trump is doing everything he can to put them back onside again.

Why can't this guy just be ok with the win?

-PB

Ego.

Its worth noting that in regards to the right wing Breitbart media site

- Research shows that conspiracy ideation (such as the moon landings were fake) is correlated to denial of anthropogenic global warming
- Right wing ideology is correlated to denial of anthropogenic global warming

So the next, obvious step in research is to investigate whether right wing ideology is correlated to conspiracy ideation. The above research would suggest this is a good hypothesis. Considering the right is more religious, it would be surprising to find otherwise.

Hilarious that lefties demand this and yet cannot respect democracy. OMG the irony :laugh:

Trump has just banned all refugees and muslims from 7 middle eastern (Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen.) countries from entering the US.

He can do whatever he wants, Funny though how 19 of the 20 9-11 guys came from Saudi Arabia, yet there are no bans on the them :)

You mean literally (Hitler) hilarious. Remember, it is The Current Year!

And the right constantly bleat about protests & infringement on free speech........



http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-01-30/five-dead-in-quebec-city-mosque-shooting-mosque-president-says/8223638
Five people have been killed after gunmen opened fire in a Quebec City mosque during evening prayers, the mosque's president says.

A Quebec police spokesman confirmed there were deaths but declined to give numbers. He said two people had been arrested.

Earlier, a witness told Reuters that up to three gunmen fired on about 40 people inside the Quebec City Islamic Cultural Centre.

Police put up a security perimeter around the mosque and declined to comment to reporters about the incident.

"Why is this happening here? This is barbaric," said the mosque's president, Mohamed Yangui.

Mr Yangui, who was not inside the mosque when the shooting occurred, said he got frantic calls from people at evening prayers.

He did not know how many were injured, saying they had been taken to different hospitals across Quebec City.

In June 2016, a pig's head was left on the doorstep of the cultural centre.

Incidents of Islamophobia have increased in Quebec in recent years amid a political debate over banning the niqab, or Muslim face covering.

In 2013, a mosque in the Saguenay region of Quebec was splattered with what was believed to be pig blood.

In the neighbouring province of Ontario, a mosque was set on fire in 2015, a day after an attack by gunmen and suicide bombers in Paris.

Mosque shot up in Quebec.


Can't people just get along like FFS there are actual terrorists in the world and people want to shoot up innocent people praying. Sick of it.

Ahh fuck, that's terrible.

Godwin's law...

Of course, shooting muslims doesn't make you a terrorist.....
You're only a terrorist when you're Muslim.....
Gotta propagate the narrative....

Donald Trump's first US military raid kills 30 civilians, including 10 women and children.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/donald-trump-us-military-attack-yemen-civilians-women-children-dead-a7553121.html

Here's a harrowing quote from that article;

"The operation began at dawn when a drone bombed the home of Abdulraoof al-Dhahab and then helicopters flew up and unloaded paratroopers at his house and killed everyone inside," said one anonymous resident, in an account of the incident corroborated by Yemeni security staff."

Donald Trump said he wanted to kill the families of suspected terrorists. This was not just a raid gone awry. This was intentional.
