Today is the Inauguration of Donald John Trump. Security at the National Mall has never been tighter. Close to one million people are expected to attend....950,000 from the deep southern states, and the rest from Mexico.
The cuisine for the day is "Southern Fried Chicken, Grits, Hog Jowls (with lots of butter), and Collard Greens". For dessert......Pecan Pie with extra lard will be available (extra helpings will cost $1.00 each).
It should be a glorious day of praise to the "Almighty Apprentice Golden Boy".
If you are attending, you cannot get in with your favorite pair of scissors, thus cut the eye holes out in your sheets prior to attending. No guns (not even shotguns) will be allowed through security. You may, however, bring in your favorite "Hog Gutting" knife as long as the blade is not over 4" in length.
Special Parking will be available approximately 2-1/2 miles away for the estimated 600,000 pick-up trucks. Free tractor pulled cart rides will be available from the parking lot to the security entrance. Special thanks to "Big Jed and his "Tractor's R Us" tractor hauling company.
Bring an umbrella with you, as it is expected to rain on "The Donald's" Parade. More later as the day progresses. |

“TRUMP?! HOW DID THIS HAPPEN??”
It happened because you banned super-size sodas. And smoking in parks. And offensive ideas on campus. Because you branded people who oppose gay marriage ‘homophobic’, and people unsure about immigration ‘racist’. Because you treated owning a gun and never having eaten quinoa as signifiers of fascism. Because you thought correcting people’s attitudes was more important than finding them jobs. Because you turned ‘white man’ from a description into an insult. Because you used slurs like ‘denier’ and ‘dangerous’ against anyone who doesn’t share your eco-pieties. Because you treated dissent as hate speech and criticism of Obama as extremism. Because you talked more about gender-neutral toilets than about home repossessions. Because you beatified Caitlyn Jenner. Because you policed people’s language, rubbished their parenting skills, took the piss out of their beliefs. Because you cried when someone mocked the Koran but laughed when they mocked the Bible. Because you said criticising Islam is Islamophobia. Because you kept telling people, “You can’t think that, you can’t say that, you can’t do that”. Because you turned politics from something done by and for people to something done to them, for their own good. Because you treated people like shit. And people don’t like being treated like shit.
Trump happened because of you.

That is very true, MrP. Not just in USA either.
I would say it is a big reason behind Brexit and also behind the emerging power of Pauline Hanson.
Not that I think she will ever be up there as PM or anything, but people are wanting a change and to be respected.
I think we could be heading into troubled times. I'm not keen on extremism on either side of the see saw.

I'm not keen on extremism on either side of the see saw. BREXIT is much different Sherri............it happened because Great Britain is no longer Great, nor British. It had everything to do with immigration....and more so with the EU and that magnificent leadership of Angela Merkel. Why in the world would England ever want a German leading them? |

I see it as part of the same syndrome.
Britain wanted to be in charge of itself again. Not to be dictated to by the EU about things such as immigration, yes, you're right.
I think Trump is part of the same sort of thinking. America for Americans etc. Cut back on certain immigration (hence the talk of the wall, banning muslims etc), move away from being the world policeman etc
Not exactly the same side of the coin, but the same coin.

You know....I can't imagine what it would be like to live in your country. I have visited, but that's much different than actually living there. With the vast amount of immigration you have received, and the structured interference these people have enacted with your laws, coupled with the liberal " Can't We All Just Get Along" attitude that your government has agreed to. WTF?? I don't understand it. I really don't. Thus, maybe.....just maybe the election of Donald Trump may do some good abroad. I still think he is a snake in the grass only out for himself, but maybe it can affect how your people vote at the next election? I am starting to see what the effect that foreigners have on your way of life. Ours, IMHO, is much different....we have illegal Mexicans that come in and take jobs that no American would ever do ........we are too lazy for that. Thus, I see our situationt as a positive, but I can also see yours as a negative. |

The reason they have a Pakistani Muslim leader in London is because it is getting to the stage where Muslims are almost a majority in parts of London.
In Melbourne we also have a couple of western suburbs where the population is over 70% muslim and one where... get this... a muslim man decided to develop a new suburb on a new estate. Bought the land, subdivided it, got it approved by council, started to sell it and then it came out... it was a muslim estate on sale to muslims only.
Can you imagine the absolute hell anyone would be put through if they dared develop a new estate here for non muslims. It would be closed down, I can tell you that. yet there was hardly a ripple. The man developing it said he just wanted a nice place where people could live alongside others with their own habits and beliefs, make friends, have a mosque convenient on the estate etc.
So much for multiculturalism but as I say, hardly a ripple. the council did say they were not aware of it being muslim only when the plans were submitted but no one put a stop to it. Personally, I would have stopped the mosque from being there, that way, in time, it could become an estate like any other, not just muslim.

That's exactly what Donald Trump did with the Black community back in the 1960's. He wouldn't rent to them and he wouldn't sell to them. The Justice Department sued him and he endured a healthy fine for it.

It is coming across that I am anti muslim. I'm not. But I think immigration needs to be tweaked so that change isn't too fast, doesn't bring conflict.
And I think at the moment, there are undercurrents in that religion that are leading to more radical stances. We need to be more careful who we bring in.
What I am seeing is that often when there is some terrorist act, it is the white community that is being blamed. We didn't do this, didn't do that, have to be more understanding etc
I think we are doing a Neville Chamberlain in the face of real problems.

...and when the DOJ made people lend money to other people who couldn't repay the loans, the banking system collapsed.
