USA lives again!

Hooray for Donald Trump!
Watch the goons scatter now!
Had to laugh at some of the ABC commentators doing a backflip!

No matter that he won he is still a filthy bully, an unfaithful husband, a racist, how dare anyone tell women what they can and can't do with their own bodies, (that will see more women die from the backyard quacks) and a convicted felon to name but a few things. Will await the aftermath and the yanks deserve what ever they get from that person. End of rant.

Hmmmm..... I guess we are yet to see how this will play out .... might be time to get the solar powered Winnie from theoretical to a working project so we aren't reliant on fossil fuels ..... who know what wars will interrupt the supply chain now.
I won't like to be a Ukrainian right now, or in the path of Putin's expansionist plans, could be dark days for them ....

Dottie, if Trump does what he says he will, it won't only be the US citizens that will suffer, I wonder how many US citizens are looking at alternate countries to move to .......

Never has been majority rules over there, they have strangest system of electoral college votes that combine the senator a house members added together to see of the candidates from each party won, then in some states the party who gets the most candidates across the line, get all that state's votes electoral college votes, so even balance there, some states have a lot more college votes than others, the one who heads the party as their presidential candidate, and that party has than 270 college vote, decides the president, no opposition president, they either fade away or start their campaign ready for the mid term elections, if they will still have them in 2 yrs time

Yes, it is a vastly different system to the Westminster based arrangement that we know and understand.
Time will tell if it's a popular result over there, and worldwide.

[Busman]

It seems most yanks don't even like their current system, there seems to be a push for the popular vote i.e. one vote for candiate of choice with no Electoral College in between, was no chance before but now the donald has won the popular vote, who knows ?

It’s their system of electing a president & Trump won it, end of story.

Sorry Shirley,
It’s just the BEGINNING of the story.
He has promised retribution and vengeance against a long list of people who he dislikes.
… and he said he’ll use the Department of Justice to get them.
Déjà vu 1936.

Sad but true. He's said it a few times, if you can believe the Murdoch trash rags. And the Murdoch's support him, apparently.
