US Presidential Election 2016: Sidney's Victory Lap

The problem is that the overthrow of Gaddhafi was her idea

@Sidney

Wrong. It was France’s idea to get rid of Gaddafi.

@anon7035031

For someone who claims to be interested in facts, you have a habit of getting them wrong.

The attack on Libya in 2011, as illegal as the Iraq war before it, was instigated by the US with its NATO allies. It may have been France and Britain who initially wanted to intervene, but Hillary was the one who convinced Obama to act.

It’s delicious how you talk about facts and, in your attempt to prove me wrong, completely prove me right within three sentences.

You’re right, that is very funny. God I had a good laugh at that.

@Sidney

Far better to rely on alt-right Twitter accounts, Alex Jones and Breitbart.

Truthiness beats facts every time…

Are you really talking about facts when you willfully disregard polls related to Jeremy Corbyn? You didn’t even try to argue them, just “weren’t interested”.

The point is that the UK & Irish media are hilariously one eyed in their coverage of the US, it is done to an east coast bias.

Places like Texas are depicted as crazed places where it’s all about guns…ignoring the roaring economy in a major city like Dallas, and it’s the economy what middle Americans vote on. The BBC hook up with ABC, ITV with NBC & Sky are too embarrassed to hook up too often with their sister Fox so use CBS regularly. No delving into local press. That’s before we start on how liberal Hollywood totally distorts the reality of America.

It’s no wonder that people in the UK & Ireland are so ignorant of the issues that us ordinary Americans care about and are so shocked when the Republicans win so much.

It’s standard issue with Irish and British people. Their exposure to US politics are some shit John Oliver videos distorting facts and then some rousing speech by Obama.

He has been a shocking President, only marginally above W but not much.

Immediate handling of the financial crisis?: Fair
Obama’s Leadership qualities?: Poor
Obamacare promises met?: Fail
Domestic affairs?: Fail, the country is more racially polarised than 8 years ago
Overall economy?: Fail
Foreign relations?: Fail

He did well with the wife though. Fine looking woman

[anon7035031]

Do you honestly think NATO countries would have attacked Libya without the US? France doesn’t have the spine to go it alone against a few random ISIS militants let alone a country.

US GDP for Q2 came in at 1.2% against expectations of 2.4%. Q1 revised down to 0.8%. Eight years into the Obama recovery and we have a 1% growth rate, unprecedented in history. Time for Obama/Clinton/Yellen Hope and Change to be kicked to the kerb.

[myboyblue]

You’ve a great way about you can give an incredible insight into the world at large, its one of the first things I’ve noticed about you.

Yeah, but what an orator!

Absolutely correct, after the disaster of the outgoing president, Americans are moving in large numbers towards the Republican candidate.

Those of us on this forum that actually will have a vote in the presidential election all appear to be voting for Trump.

[myboyblue]

Be great to see Bill big Willying it again back in the white house all the same.

[anon7035031]

I’m voting for Gary Johnson and Bill Weld mate, two outstanding men with a proven track record as two time governors of blue states. They haven’t a hope, unless the Republicans ditch Trump and endorse them (which they won’t), but it’s preferable to voting for either of the other two assholes.

Having said that, I agree Trump is now the most likely to win. The polls next week are key, unless Hillary has regained the lead she is toast.

[ProjectX]

The dems are making a big mistake by putting Bill Clinton back into the spotlight.

Americans, in general, are appalled by his behaviour from the last time he lived in the White House which resulted in his impeachment.

[myboyblue]

What a time to be alive, a woman accepting the nomination for the job of running the greatest goddamn country in the world.

God bless America.

[anon7035031]

Not really, Americans look back fondly at the Clinton years as it was a very prosperous decade. Bill was a very good president as he was able to work across the aisle with the Republicans. It was a good decade for business, a business friendly environment, unlike now. He was also a centrist, the Democrats have moved very far left since he left office. I truly believe he is fundamentally a decent man (for a politician), but she is an absolute cunt.

By an large Americans don’t care who he was boning. As long as they are getting a bit themselves, nobody cares what others are doing. Pretty much every president had a mistress or two, its a stressful job. I would bet at least 70% of American women would have given him head when he was president.

You haven’t a fucking clue mate. Not one fucking clue.

[myboyblue]

@Steven_Naimsith

Not one fucking clue.

Shur Hilary didn’t give a shite

Bill is a great bit of stuff. Almost universally loved.

[ProjectX]

That’s funny coming from you and your lack of knowledge

Air Fuck One

It’s brilliant. Sid is off his head on cheap cans, labane raving from whiskey and poor Tim the voice of reason with his nice glass of milk.
