Oh for sure, we all make mistakes at times, as I said in my post.

Sorry for going off topic though :o

What do you think it would take for Trump to bomb N Korea?

Maybe if Little Kim makes fun of his tie or spray tan?

I've been trying to pull the Trump news IV line out of my vein, but helplessly addicted to reading about our presidential pussy-grabber/Nazi-lover.

Must.Not.Click.Again. :eek:

That could actually give Little Kim an uplift in the global polls. His media advisors need a seeing to.

Indeed.

This is very poor form from Clinton. Name calling is a left wingers best friend and all but you would think that someone who could have been President would rise above that level.

The bloke who DID become president hasn't risen above that level, can't see why she should.

Correct, but if she really wants to be a differentiator then this is not the way to go about it.

There is a difference between using an adjective to describe something in a negative way than there is labelling someone with the intent to hurt that person or make themselves look better.

Trump receives a hell of a lot more "intent to hurt name calling" than he gives.

I disagree. It may seem that way but he just has to tweet name calling/abuse once in a Tweet or campaign speech and it touches millions, all of those millions are not retaliating, a minority (relatively) are.

He's the bloody President, he should be above such shit. If he stopped publicly abusing anyone who disagrees with him, there would be far less fuel for others to retaliate with.

(Nothing to do with what media outlet one follows, but everything to do with his own spoken and typed words).

Hold on, he has CNN, The Guardian, and a whole host of media outlets after his blood. They don't touch millions, they touch billions.

He could tweet less, that is for sure, but at the end of the day he isn't as stupid as most people believe. He mastered social media marketing. Any noise is good noise.

Emmanuel Macron now has worse popularity ratings than Donald Trump.

Though, many of us saw that coming.

Merkel will win next month because her opponent is running a campaign of agreeing with her on everything. In that case, why should voters vote for change?

But, when she wins that will be interpreted in the media as a robust endorsement of everything she stands for, when it's really the ultimate hold-your-nose vote.

Trump will be out if he can't deliver and improve living standards, unless the Democrats nominate someone blood-curdlingly awful like Zuck or some Goldman Sachs insider, which they are entirely capable of doing.

Or if they keep obsessing over things like whether a college football announcer's name sounds too much like a Confederate general from 170 years ago. Northeastern urban millennials care about that, but they are only, what, 10% of the population? But most of the media falls into that demographic.

One of Obama's PR people gave an interview, about 6 months ago ridiculing the foreign correspondents in the US media, and talked about how easy they were to manipulate because their average age was 27, they had no real knowledge of what they were reporting on, and cared more about access to the powerful than any of the standard myths of journalism being the 4th estate etc.

Trudeau will be next and is already feeling the heat - virtue signalling is not policy, and shaping legislation around what's trending on Facebook (as he does) is not policy either.

Quebec separatism is not dead, and with all of the migrants leaving the US and trying to go there, Trudeau's "doing nothing makes us stronger" approach will reheat this pretty quick. Oh, wait he sent a bureaucrat to Miami this week to try and talk a bunch of Haitians into staying. I'm sure that will work!

Trump will be out when he is an obvious liability to the GOP reelection chances, which is when the nutty third of the country gets carted off to the funny farm, or he tries to hold the house to ransom to get his stupid wall.

Trudeau's poll rating have been going up... he does well when people can compare him to the dog's breakfast south of the border.

Yeah ..... that 26 hour work week is going to take a hammering. The days of self entitled France is over. The days of lazy France is dusted.

Welcome to the real world. Welcome to the French Tony Blair.

Only a decade or so too late.
