2016 US election
Re: 2016 US election

There are three fundamental questions for anyone advocating Brexit:
1. What, precisely, are the significant and tangible benefits of leaving the EU?
2. What damage to the UK and its citizens is an acceptable price to pay for those benefits?
3. Which ruling of the ECJ is most persuasive of the need to leave its jurisdiction?

Goodness: Read: Trump’s bizarre letter telling FBI Director James Comey he's fired
Anyone think Trump fired Comey because of his mishandling of Hillary Clinton's emails last year, particularly what he announced just days before the election about there being new evidence against Clinton? No, me neither.

Awww... the poor little snowflake: Donald Trump's state visit to Britain put on hold
Donald Trump has told Theresa May in a phone call he does not want to go ahead with a state visit to Britain until the British public supports him coming.
The US president said he did not want to come if there were large-scale protests and his remarks in effect put the visit on hold for some time.
The call was made in recent weeks, according to a Downing Street adviser who was in the room. The statement surprised May, according to those present.

Re: 2016 US election
I'm sure 24 hours notice is more than enough to organise a protest: Theresa May’s team on standby for visit by Donald Trump
Ministers are on the alert for a flying visit to Britain by Donald Trump this month.
Senior government officials say they expect the American president to make an unscheduled stop at his Aberdeenshire golf course as part of his trip to Europe to attend France’s Bastille Day celebrations on July 14.
Theresa May’s team are on standby for Trump to visit Downing Street as well. It is understood that any visit would be confirmed only 24 hours in advance so anti-Trump protesters did not have time to disrupt his visit.

What Congress Has Accomplished Since the Sandy Hook Massacre
This simple timeline is well worth a look. It is stark.Once again, Americans are facing a tragedy involving guns. This time, at least 17 people were killed during an attack at a Florida high school Wednesday.
More than five years have passed since the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, where 20 children and six adults were killed. In that time, dozens of gun control proposals have been introduced in Congress attempting to fix glaring issues with gun safety and regulation. More than 1,600 mass shootings have taken place in America since then.
Here is a guide to what Congress has — or, more accurately, has not — accomplished during this time.

Breaking news: Russia-Trump inquiry: Russians charged over US 2016 election tampering
Thirteen Russians have been charged with interfering in the US 2016 election, in a major development in the FBI investigation.
Three of those named have also been accused of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and five have been accused of aggravated identity theft.
The announcement was made by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating alleged Russian meddling.
Three Russian companies are also named in the indictment.
What does the indictment say?
It says a group of Russians:
Posed as Americans, and opened financial accounts in their name
Spent thousands of dollars a month buying political advertising
Purchased US server space in an effort to hide their Russian affiliation
Organised and promoted political rallies within the United States
Posted political messages on social media accounts that impersonated real US citizens
Promoted information that disparaged Hillary Clinton
Received money from clients to post on US social media sites
Created themed groups on social media on hot-button issues, particularly on Facebook and Instagram
Operated with a monthly budget of as much as $1.25m (£890,000)
Financed the building of a cage large enough to hold an actress portraying Hillary Clinton in a prison uniform

Re: 2016 US election
In the mid-term elections the Republicans increased their number in the Senate by a few members, but the big news is that the Democrats now have a majority in the House of Representatives. That will really put a dent in Trump's plans.

Re: 2016 US election
I hope England appreciated Trump and his entourage’s visit and his support of Brexit, as well as his opinions of Mayor Khan and the blasting of his political opponents at home.
Yesterday in France, during his D-Day visit to the graves of fallen Americans, he used the opportunity to insult Nancy Pelosi (Speaker of the House) and Robert Mueller (former FBI director and investigator of Russian interference in US elections).
Looking forward to the 2020 elections to end this nightmare, hopefully without any foreign interference.

I was at the protests on the Monday and Tuesday. How than man lies. Had an argument with one of the few Trump supporter there. Gave up as he couldn't argue rationally.Ken H wrote:I hope England appreciated Trump and his entourage’s visit and his support of Brexit, as well as his opinions of Mayor Khan and the blasting of his political opponents at home.

Re: 2016 US election
Glad to hear about the protests, which Trump dismissed as inconsequential, of course.
You are correct, one cannot have a decent conversation with a Trump supporter - they are all delusional.
Under Trump, we are becoming an intolerant, isolationist plutocracy operating under a near war economy. Even some of the Republican congressmen are disturbed by the tariffs on imports that Trump has been throwing around lately.
