Donald trump agrees that there was Russian interference in the election, but he says it did not influence the outcome of the election. No influence on the outcome because he says so IMO he has exposed his Mr Smart Mouth immaturity.

Trump is it bit brighter than I though, either that or the American public are much thicker that most expexcted them to be. Whilst there is all this pointless arguing and distractions over immigration and keeping everyone safe the creatures in the swamp have been busy, we now have talk of banking deregulation and the freeing up of Wall Street as Trumps new mates prepare to let rip another credit boom and asset bubble! Ha ha ha ha ha you fucking idiots!, Did you really think trump was on your side? |

And we are his new best buddies ffs! Toe curling moment of the week for me was May offering to act as a mediator between the EU and US! It's almost as if she forgot what it's like to have an unelected nobody trying to shoehorn themselves in between you someone you might want to talk to.... |

What I also see is the right learning absolutely nothing from their long stint in the wilderness and making the exact same mistakes the left made when they were in power. Mistakes they have spent years pointing and shouting at like cracking down on dissent and trying to stifle debate by labelling anyone who disagrees (for "racist" now see "liberal elite"). It doesn't matter which flag you fly, all of the politically committed are exactly the same. It amazes me how otherwise intelligent and perceptive people can't see it. |

And yet most of the complaining on this thread seems to be coming from the Trump supporters. You've got right wing governments on both sides of the Atlantic but are still trying to play the poor, downtrodden victim. Edited by Happy Hornet, Feb 5 2017, 04:33 PM.

Why did left wing/liberal politics come to the fore previously? Something else both sides have in common, blaming the other side for their own short comings. The right are in power now, with power comes responsibility, which means if you screw up its your fault alone. |

Politics always goes in cycles. A party in successive power always starts to drive things the way its supporters want rather than what the country needs and they get complacent. A subtle difference we have seen though is that whereas last century governments were elected by those that were uninformed we increasingly now see the big electorate decisions made by those who have been deliberately misinformed |

It always happens when countries are visited by serious economic troubles. That's when right-wingers take advantage of people's fears. It's not normal to have right-wingers in power in reasonable times. |

There are a lot of really stupid people out there who have been conned into voting against their own best interests? But don'r take my word for it former US election hopeful Bernie Sanders has in the past few hours branded Trump a fraud, he pointed out Trump promoised to take on Wall Street but instead has put it in charge. I'm glad there is a large expanse of water between us and America because when all those heavily armed dickheads finally realise they have been conned big time it'll get ugly. But then again blame Mexico! It's worked a treat so far.

A reasonably thinking person would say with certainty, that as things look in the UK at present.....you had better get ready to get used to it. Whether or not that will turn out to be a good situation I dare not say, but one thing is for sure, as it stands, there is no decent alternative for the voter to turn to. So, it is, imo, fair to say that at present we have two extremes, one in government and the other looking meekly on with no idea what it stands for or in which direction to go. |

Being elected doesn't put you above the law, nor should it. If Trump made promises he couldn't legally keep then there's nothing undemocratic about it it's simple incompetence on Trump's part. |

People are moving to the right because of the pressures and demands of those of the left. I do not think that there are more intolerant and dictatorial and dogmatic people than those to the idealistic left of politics. They seem to believe that they are always right and everyone else is wrong, and the average person is sick to death of being dictated to as to how they should speak or act or run their own lives. I really do believe that the swing to the right is a direct consequence of the actions, behaviour and demands of the left. They actually thought that they were going to impose their idealism on every one else, but at everyone else's expense, for their own ends. Their education continues for a while yet, until they face the reality of life, that being that they have to make an effort on their own behalf, not expect others to solve life problems for them, and others are entitled to run their own lives as they see fit. The move to the right has a way to go yet, whilst still retaining the best of socialism. |

No. They have just implemented the courts, the laws, ruling on Brexit, on a private application from a member of the public. Trump has just been overruled by the law that you say they are above. The opposition parties in Britain would soon pull them up if they tried to break the law or tried to put them selves above it. When you go around saying such things which are provably false you undermine your POV. |

You obviously do not believe in democracy or the democratic process. Internal conflict costs millions to resolve and harms millions in the process,and takes years to resolve and to return to normality. Its wrong thinking IMO to even think of it as being a solution to anything. |

Your thoughts Curious Cdn are precisely my thoughts too, indeed I have been wondering just where America is heading with such a wide rift between left and right, I was reading this weekend about the little known phenomenon of "CALEXIT", a once little known movement which advocates independence for California, and which has gainned momentum since Trumps election. Incidentally there is another phenomenon, or unusual side effect of Trump's election, and that is the new light in which Justin Trudeau now finds himself in, many people over here now see Mr Trudeau as been the just, moral and compassinate leader of North America ( which I subscribe to ). As well as interesting days and months ahead for the UK, it will also be very interesting to see how Canada's relationship with its neighbour plays out, no doubt Donald wont like his Liberal, free health care loving neighbour who has the audacity to help refugees from those nasty Muslim countries. Canada/USA/Trump/ Trudeau - what a colossal and very stark difference https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4muGwXuYsbY I would be proud to be Canadian |
