    See in France, the mainstream conservative party unites with the left to stop an extremist from winning. In America, they did the opposite.

    Have to admit, I didn't believe it could happen until I saw that Michael Moore video (embedded below) that did the rounds on facebook shortly before the election. When I saw that, I thought 'ohhh ****, those idiots might actually do this'. Odds at the bookie were about 4:1 against at that point but I didn't put money on it. It was the realisation that republicans will vote for the republican candidate and the hordes of luddites who can't adapt to a changing world will vote Trump and that might just be enough.

    You would have won big Pete. You would have won so much, you'd get sick of winning.

    I think we've all won, really. I mean, I've been laughing so hard at Americans, I haven't had to do any direct ab work since November.

    FYI, one of Trump's first visits with a world leader is planned to be May. Not a huge surprise.

    More on May's visit:

    Excerpt:
    • A deal to reduce barriers between American and British banks through a new “passporting” system was being considered by Mr Trump’s team.
    • A US-UK “working group” was being prepared to identify barriers to trade and scope out a future trade deal.
    • A joint statement on defence was expected to demand EU countries spend 2 per cent of GDP on defence and promise collaboration in tackling Isil.

    I'm honestly surprised she is first in line; if he wants to reform NAFTA, you'd think Canada and Mexico would be first through the door.

    Apart from Prime Minister May, I don't think Trump has spoken to any other European leader or officials from the European Union.

    I think it's meant to be a weird, passive aggressive way of saying 'look at you, you're just as bad'. Which is a shame, because my midsection and cheeks already hurt from laughing so much.

    Just forget a -ly at the end of a word too. It's his Trump-weakness.

    Oh, you did that on purpose did you dp4m? How clever.

    In any event, we attribute those events to the Americanisation of our police forces.

    Just speak normal(ly), dp4m, you will fail to communicate in correct English without trying.

    Next up: someone tries to asset American English is a valid dialogue and not something that stroke victims speak.

    [face_dunno]Didn't seem a big one to me. Post-Brexit and the "special relationship" as well as some shared sentiments with trade. That will be one of the main issues.

    Trudeau has already called and talked to Trump and they will meet soon. President of Mexico will meet Trump in the next short while.

    Spicer was asked by a British reporter today "why May?" and he said to get the ball rolling on trade and Trump's high regard for the unique relationship between the nations. I think post-Obama the current president wants to send a signal it is a high priority relationship.

    I mean, he returned the Churchill bust to its old place on Day ONE.

    May - Remain

    But sure I mean conservative is conservative.

    It's going to be a long 4 years until the American empire collapses. [face_plain]

    You might look at the screenname of "Gen. Patton" for a clue.
