US Presidential Election 2016: Sidney's Victory Lap

Not very many people there, are there?

You’d see at least as many at Terryland Park on a Friday evening.

The only only President to survive a stone cold stunner

No idea Tim, merely commenting that this is a damp squib.

2.86 million people less than his opponent.

Didn’t get the votes where it mattered though.

In EPL parlance its a bit like Chelsea beating the cannon fodder week in week out, but largely getting the runaround when they face at Top 4 side.

On a hookers back no doubt.

Melania looked incredible today. She’ll make a terrific First Lady.

Stylish, graceful and elegant.

Ah that is the funniest part of the day

This really is an Eire takeover of the White House. Speaker Ryan toasting Vice President Pence in the native tongue.

Finest thing in the White House since Jackie Kennedy

Michael Moore on Channel 4 News this evening must have read your post.

He likened the election to Tottenham beating Chelsea 2-1, but Chelsea being adjudged to have won.

A lovely analogy - I particularly liked the angle in which both “winners” are controlled by Russians and are known for the anti-semitic rhetoric of their supporters (despite, perversely, the influence wielded over them by hardline pro-Israel Jews) while both those deemed to have lost are the main targets of that same anti-semitic rhetoric from supporters of their opponent.

That’s a great meltdown by Moore .

Just for clarification, the “angle” was added by me.

But I thought the choice of teams and result by Moore was inspired.

The only thing that could have made it better was if White Hart Lane was Chelsea’s ground.

I love the contradictions you get with trump and his supporters.

The anti-semitic rhetoric and yet the unquestioning support for Israeli far-right hardliners.

The anti-Wall Street rhetoric and then the boasting about how trump is good for the stock market and the financial sector, and the total blindness to his boast about removing all financial regulation.

The rhetoric about “the 1%”, yet the unquestioning support for tax policies that will benefit the 1% and nobody else.

The claims that “America declined as great power under Obama”, yet thinking that withdrawing from the world will restore it as a “great power”.

The isolationism now from the exact same people who were screaming furiously to go to war in 2003.

The isolationist rhetoric, and the simultaneous rhetoric that “we’re going to eliminate Islamic terrorism from the face of the earth”, something that would require an expansion of foreign interventionism to a level unprecendented for any country at any time in the history of the world.

The pro-“free speech” rhetoric then, post November 9th, the anti-free speech rhetoric.

The constant, cliched nonsense about “snowflakes” and then the sudden conversion to ultra-snowflakeism.

The total embrace of fake news against opponents, and then, post November 9th, the furious claims of “fake news” against any story remotely critical of trump.

The constant claims the “election is going to be rigged”, and then the furious denials of any Russian interference in the campaign post from November 9th onwards.

The constant claims that few people were attending Hillary Clinton’s rallies, and the curious airbrushing of the fact that not much more than a few white people and their dogs turned up to the inauguration today.

trumpism is a bubble and an echo chamber, the greatest bubble and the greatest echo chamber of all-time.

That’s it in a nutshell. The Dems ran a horrendous campaign with an awful candidate.

I get it just fine, mate, but then again I’m not living in a bubble like most Trump supporters.

Flesh that out with at least eight sentences.

Eight sentences isn’t too much to ask.
