Words of death?Quote:

Here in Essex you don't seem to need evidence to support allegations :(Quote:

Being me, I decided to talk about the areas where he really did seem to be doing a rather good job :)
Oh, that infuriates them! :hehe: Trump hatred is such an article of faith for your bog-standard lefty that their heads virtually explode if you even suggest taking a dispassionate view of him.Quote:

She's a recent convert to feminism so I think she is outraged that America HATES WOMEN so much that they were prepared to elect Trump just to avoid having a woman President. I did point out that perhaps it was a mistake to select arguably the most hated woman in America to run against him ..... didnt go down well.Quote:

Yes. They also don't like it when you suggest that expecting people to vote for a candidate because they have one set of genitals rather than another is pretty much exactly how sexism works.Quote:

His overall ratings are a problem but then....well, he isnt like other PResidents.
Especially when polls showed that Sanders would have easily beaten Trump.Quote:

On one hand, I think there is a genuine chance that he wants a war with Iran (and/or Venezuela), and that this will happen at some point during his innings, but on the other I wouldn't be too surprised if this was bantz was be followed up with peace talks and saying how Rouhani is someone he can do business with.Quote:
