Basil B Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Well I wonder just how much of what he said he would do he will actually achieve??? My guess even though both houses of Congress are Republican lead not all Republicans see eye to eye with the President elect and he may well find some immovable walls...

I was so sure that it was impossible. I was dead wrong. If only more people of whatever political stripe were so forthright. Let the healing begin.

Basil B Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Well I woke this morning to: It is bad news stock falls 5% in Asia... Early trading in the UK, FTSE100 dropped over 1% on early trading only to rally (and close 1% up) after Trumps speech where he said some very nice things about Hillary given it was only yesterday he was saying she should be locked up and the keys thrown away, may be people are staring to realise he aint going to do all the things he said he would.

Come back when you have something honest to say. My My. Here's JingThing still going on like the Energizer Bunny. Jingthing, when Trump announced his candidacy, how many times did I tell you right here in this forum: 1. Never bet against Donald Trump? 2. Hillary is a proven loser with the personality of a bale of hay who won't win anything? 3. Trump will win this election going away? This before he won the nomination. Yes I did numerous times until I got tired of all of the posters who angrily posted things they knew nothing of and simply decided it wasn't worth it. NOW I'M WATCHING the SAME PEOPLE who GOT IT ALL WRONG about the election tell us what will happen next!! Amazing that they still think they know ANYTHING. While I'm here please let me post a pic of a conversation I had way back last February when I got really tired of the hatefulness on the forum. Cheers.

The smear which will live in infamy. But she didn't do that. It was a political mistake for sure but the way you painted it is not true. “You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right?” Clinton said. “The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic—you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up.” She said the other half of Trump’s supporters “feel that the government has let them down” and are “desperate for change.” “Those are people we have to understand and empathize with as well,” she said. http://time.com/4486502/hillary-clinton-basket-of-deplorables-transcript/ Edited November 9, 2016 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krugman is the worst. It was obvious this was going to rebound today to take advantage of a short squeeze. Nothing to do with Trump. The short squeeze could continue for awhile, but eventually people are going to see valuations are pretty stretched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not know before. After private communication, now I do know. Based on that realization of who he is, the PRUDENT thing to do now is to put "phrodan" on my ignore list.
