It would appear that the resident snowflake has crawled back into his shell and is in hibernation. Where is the Turtle? Donald Trump has been acquitted and naughty Nancy has thrown her toys out the pram in front of the whole world.

Oh well 4 more years of Donald might be enough to tempt the turtle out of hiding at some point.

[claretonthecoast1882]

Acquitted following a 52 - 48 result, that won't be an issue for anyone on the losing side

[evensteadiereddie]

A huge surprise - not.

Disappointed this is not a music thread

I think the Turtle username has been retired. Another moniker now in use

What a huge waste of time and money. We the people will decide in November. The crazy Dems have just about guaranteed 4 more years for The President. You really couldn’t make it up

I'm convinced he had 7 usernames anyway as his merry band wagon grew. He is here somewhere , I can smell his turtles head.

Donald Trump acquired by a partisan “jury” that refused to her all the evidence isn’t something anyone can be proud of.

The whole process is partisan from both sides. The Democrats did light the touch paper and it’s blown up in their faces.

Assume you mean acquitted If so then that’s a big part of the reason why it was a total waste of time and money by the Dems. Just playing politics with our money

I agree, did they really think that the Republicans would uphold the oath they swore rather than vote on party lines? Did they really think that they would vote to allow new damming evidence to be heard?

The only point they have I their favour is that they couldn’t just ignore his behaviour and now that the evidence is out there people can make their own mind up. The fact that no one cares about his behaviour is another matter.

Never heard of him or his music (sounds good) but I was obsessed with anything baggy / madchester / shoegazing related stuff like Railway Children, Real People, Paris Angels, Dylans, The High.

One of my fav's of the time

people do care about his behavior, probably the majority, however they don't care enough to make a meaningful change as long as they and there family are not hurt by his behavior. People do not get elected through the morals they try to impose on others, politics is a tricky game to play and there is a fine line to being tolerated and being replaced within democratic countries. Cleary not enough thought he had crossed that line, all history now.

I have my suspicions as to who is IT, but if he has really gone then not to worry quite a few have been vying to take on his mantle.

[evensteadiereddie]

Tag, you're IT ?
It is reasonably interesting to see how some fairly vocal types seem to have moved on.

A little bit of clarity for the mouth breathers.The 48 senators who found him guilty represent 16 million more Americans than the 52 senators who acquitted the orange low life.

Yes, you've nailed it. All the Democrats have to do is bang on about how stupid anyone is who voted for Trump, and they will all fall into line.

The Democrats hold Trump supporters beneath contempt, as you do yourself. And if they are so contemptuous of them, they aren't going to win back their votes.

Antidote to this is that the Democratic Party are lining up candidates who will have 50% of the population (women) voting for them on principal. 2 strong women and a cuddly old grandpa.

You don't think women can think for themselves like men? They just automatically vote for the woman? Hillary Clinton might disagree.

I am not trying to get Trump supporters to get in line. I am happy to point out their inadequacies in sneering comments.F*** em.They will not switch to voting democrats,some because of abortion,some because of guns.I used to be able to respect them for the first of those stances. Now, supporting the thing that is an awful human being,rather than president,F*** em. The slugs voting for salt meme is very apt for the none millionaire Trump supporter. The wealthier Trump supporters,hiding behind their religion in order to vote for him,F*** them too. He just gave the medal of freedom to Rush Limbaugh,who pretty much said that slavery kept the streets safe at night, whilst the least of the Tuskegee airmen sat close by. I live amongst plenty of the slugs,F*** em. Trump makes Boris look like a saint in comparison. The comparisons to Hitler are very apt,and will continue. So sneering yes,I will continue to sneer at the slugs,who will keep voting for Trump no matter how low he goes. I don't gloat like many people on here,so if my sneering comments **** you off, then live with it.

[Reckoner]

If the people on here rejoicing in everything that is Donald Trump are really serious about their support for him it is a very sad state of affairs. I can't see how anyone with a brain cell can really believe him having any kind of responsibility is a good thing. It is sad that selfishness and hate are so prevalent.

It's all very well sayng people oughn't to vote for men like Trump; but if the alternative is a person like grapidian, you're stuck between a rock and a hard place, aren't you? It's a "least worst" choice.

Well at least you are not a sore loser

[grapidianclaret]

That's the frustrating thing FC. You gloat while the entire planet gets shitcanned. I am sore for everyone. Most left and centrist thinking people are sore for this reason. You gloat because you thought no you have won,but all of us lose when these people run the show. Lots of gloating in Germany when they went right wing. How did that work out for everyone?

Not sure where I have gloated dispite the abuse heaped on Republicans by you and others. However. Which country do you live in ? Just wondering why you think you are losing because America has Trump as President. I live in America and life has never been better. Obviously if you live in Russia or China or Mexico then maybe life just got a bit harder for you. So please explain why life has become so unbearable for you.

Erm. I'm a Burnley boy living in America for 28 years so I think I have enough experience to know my stuff. This is the worst the country has been in those 28 years.
Life HAS been better. For 25 of them.

Charlie. You have more experience of living in US than I have. So would be genuinely interested to hear how life here was so much better prior to Trump becoming President. We came here full time just about as Obama became President. This is a genuine question to someone with experience. I can give my views between the Obama and Trump eras but not prior to that. UTC

[grapidianclaret]

F.C. , Last year I received a ridiculous tax return. But it wasn't needed or deserved,I don't think a tax cut was needed for middle,upper middle and definitely not upper class Americans. Its not about me or you.Its the future of our kids and hopefully grand kids. Trump is reversing as many environmentally sound regulations as he can, he has pulled out of the Paris agreement, he is trying to get rid of the ACA without any replacement plan.
We as a family pay $1800 per month premium for our health care, before any out of pocket costs, but I can be on the same policy as my wife and kids because, I have pre existing conditions, next year it will most likely exceed $2000 per month, if the pre existing condition rule is not erased by Trump,something he is actively trying to do,despite repeatedly lying to the contrary.
the deficit is ballooning out of control, far more under Trump than under Obama, and Obama had to spend our way out of the recession, Trump gave us a tax return that our kids will have to pay for.
It not about you, or me and our bank balances or standard of living, its the future for our kids that many democrats are so ****** off about.

So again, gloating, and make no mistake, this entire thread is all gloat,it was created to gloat, there is nothing to gloat about, because when you take personal finance out of the equation for most middle and upper class Americans, there is nothing good about Trump and his administration.
