He also promised to ban all the Muslims from the US, but has back out on that, since his victory:

This subject has kicked off a row on a friend's Facebook page, because some think that the sun had suddenly started to shine through his butt, due to the prompt removal of such from his website.

Yes, whether I reach my ear with my hand from under my chin or over my head, I'm still reaching it; one way or other.

That's the point I'm making. It's daft for some to stick a halo around Trump's head because that silly conviction has now magically disappeared from his website. Anyway, no one has said that here on SN, so case closed.

Let's move on to see how he meets Obama today, eh. Obama will still be in his stylish, slow bounce element and about Trump, we shall just have to see. Let's see if he says to Obama- "Hillary was never good to you, Obama! She's two-faced and I will deffo put her in jail thus take a revenge for you, too!"

Sounds like May is looking forward to a good grope


My lad's off to New York tonight with his band so hoping they don't have any entry problems. But they have all the Visa stuff, they're all white and know not to take any drugs with them.

They won't, rest assured. No walls have been built yet. He needs to get the keys to the While House first. Trump, I mean. Not James Lock.

I see Steve Mnuchin as gone to the treasury

Mr Trump has already reportedly settled on his chief fundraiser to head the Treasury. Mr Mnuchin, a former Goldman Sachs executive, lacks a national profile but a Wall Street insider could help soothe nerves in the financial sector. It may not go down well with Mr Trump's bank-bashing supporters.

yeah, well

lol, I was going to say that I bet the rest of the family get a look in - then I saw this

Donald Trump Jr has been floated as a possible cabinet secretary. He would be the first family member of a president to assume such a role since Robert F Kennedy. Jared Kushner, Mr Trump's son-in-law and adviser, could take a West Wing role. Mr Trump suggested daughter Ivanka for a cabinet post.

aaahahahha

Appointing your relative in your office shouldn't be allowed in a job like this. Nepotism in the President's battalion should be considered unethical, if not unlawful. Campaigning for your relative to win the election is one thing, but professionally serving as their right hand or even a left toe is another.

When it was proposed that UK MPs be banned fom employing relatives it was noted that such a decision would make it very difficult for Suffolk and Norfolk members.

Oh yes, that's where the definition of a virgin is a 12 year old girl who can outrun her uncle! Or is that somewhere else?

Well, they could import from other counties.

I think there was a lot of it in Ystrad Mynach too. It might explain why I find myself drawn to the banjo and rocking chairs.

Possibly explains your Stoicism, too; it's probably best that you don't dwell on days past.

That's too deep for an escapee from the Valleys; I'll just keep whittling and picking.

10 minutes into Question Time and it is obvious these politicians and their liberal friends just still don't get it, or they just can't face the truth.
They just don't deserve any sympathy until they pull their heads out of their *****.
I still find it surreal that Trump will be president of America, but until these politicians get out of denial they don't deserve anything but contempt.

Only Conservative Dominic Raab is being pragmatic about this. No doubt some will argue that this is because the Conservatives will have to deal with Trump. Or just maybe some of the Conservatives have a better grasp on reality than the rest of the daft forever offended lot.

Well that is a sad fact that will potentially impact the entire planet

Not today or tomorrow, and the effects/implications for the worlds population are uneven

But it does pose a real and present danger for humanity (in its present form) on this planet within the next 100 years

The right wing republican admitted trump was a sociopath but still voted him into a position of the most powerful person on the planet

She doesn't sound like the sharpest tool in the box
