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.

More to come out about the whole tragic incident yet, a lot more than the MSM is reporting. Most will already have made up their minds regardless. Trawl through all the vids of the incident, that's if Goolag still thinks it's a good idea of course. |

Are you saying a woman wasn't murdered and many more injured in an act of terrorism? |

A bit of historical clarification ... American servicemen fought against right wing extremists that attacked and declared war on their beloved country. When their vote against right wing extremism was really needed in the summer of 1940, they were conspicuously absent. As was true for the Soviet Union, the great anti-NAZI crusade was a propaganda creation after the fact. Both the US and USSR's wars were great, patriotic ones and ideologies were imposed later by historians and propagandists. |

Not convinced it was an act of terrorism at least not yet, if he had planned and made clear that his intention was to drive into a crowd of people then yes, but if that was the case surely they would have charged him with 1st degree murder rather than 2nd. Not that I know much about US law. Has the drivers statement on what he claims happened been released yet? |

All I'm saying is some of the vids show antifa and BLM with bats blocking and chasing down cars as people from the march attempt to leave the area, you can plainly see some of the injured attacking the rear of the car with bats ect. |

Less than 15 months to go to the mid term elections and a fair few Republican senators and representatives will be looking at those ratings and wondering can they still get elected if they're associated with that toxic president. That impeach word will start to loom a little stronger soon. |

Those toothless, Tea Party Alt-Reich true believers are still four square behind Trump. We had a bit of a taste of the degree of division in the US, these days. Who knows, maybe we just witnessed to opening salvos of the Second American Civil War. Unless that Trump Nation somehow comes to their senses, that may really be true. |

I never thought that I would be quoting Arnold Swartznegger in a serious manner but I had to share this quote from him last night. He is talking to be young American neofascists that are gaining momentum and leverage, there. ... and, I suppose ton nationalist movements everywhere. "'I knew the original Nazis, because you see, I was born in Austria in 1947,' Schwarzenegger said in the clip. 'Growing up, I was surrounded by broken men... men who came home from a war filled with shrapnel and guilt. Men who were misled into a losing ideology. And I can tell you: that these ghosts you idolize spent the rest of their lives living in shame.' 'And right now, they're resting in hell." Edited by Curious Cdn, Aug 18 2017, 11:36 PM.

And to me....the important word there is "ideology" and those that are wedded to such are doomed.......for me, the most important word in anybody's dictionary is "compromise". Once that middle ground can be found then all will be tickety boo and bobby....but it takes two to tango.

The essence of democracy is that most of us can negotiate to a "middle ground" most of the time. |

Are you of the opinion that ideologists can negotiate? indeed are they interested in doing so? In my humble opinion the answer is a definite NO. Cue the Islamic fundaMENTALISTS. |

Personally I think that Trump may be a little bit mentally flawed. But that is neither here nor there, The fact is he was voted in upon the manifesto he stood for and the good folks of the USA made their choice.....Trump became the President. What I cannot understand is the furore that comes from him wanting to carry out what he promised he would do.

I would suggest that he is not the president people thought they were voting for. "I want to make America great again". Reminds me of another piece of right wing bullshit, "I want my country back" Unfortunately for the American electorate, "great again" means different things to different people. IMO Trump is a good example of how extremists (Left and Right) can use the social media to bullshit their way into office. Or as in Corbyn's case, can bullshit their way to a much improved election result. |

He promised to uphold the US Constitution. He's broken it on separating business from state, erasing presidential records and likely others. Impeachment beckons, just a question of getting the timing right. |

That Russian problem again. ---"Robert Mueller 'going for the kill' on Trump-Russia probe, claim Republicans"--- (20hrs ago). And an interesting reference to a comment by Trump; "The US President has previously warned Mr Mueller not to look into his family's finances beyond the scope of his investigation, saying it would be crossing a red line." --- So that would be very different to the research 'no areas barred' look into the background of Pres. Clinton by the republicans. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/robert-mueller-trump-russia-republicans-investigation-probe-gop-white-house-a7944896.html |

From Rhys Blakely Washington, as appeared on page 42 in The Times today. "The federal investigation into Russian meddling in the US election has demanded documents from the White House for the first time, apparently homing in on Presidents Trump's dismissal of the FBI chief." |
