If Trumps not careful I might be the only one eligible for a position in the administration.
I'm waiting for the call, but I won't take a measly pay off post now I'm in a better position of power. I mean his nominees are dropping off like flies.

According to Breitbart it looks like Hillary and the democrats colluded with the Russians to obviously destroy their own campaign:

The idea that a malevolent external power has possibly been funding Farage's side of the campaign has so far been met with dismissal and described as 'meaningless'.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
Before the referendum vote there were lots on rabid pro brexiters on both the Telegraph and Guardian comment sites - who happened to also comment on topics touching upon Russia, the number of comments usually exceeeded the number on football match reports. The Telegraph effectively bowderlised it comments section, the Guardian wrote an article on Russian trolling - which led to some interesting comments. Arron Banks source of finance for the leave campaign has been questioned. The British orange one also appears to have interesting links.0

I thought it was a spoof but no.
Yes, me too, I had to google search it to make sure.
Anyway, I am looking forward to coverage of his Asian tour. It should be a hoot provided WW3 doesn't break out.
The Middle East tour was a damp squib. Like when a sitcom does a special "abroad" episode.
Indeed, we were all set for the annihilation of Qatar when Trump suddenly discovered it had a rather large US airbase and called the whole thing off. It was close though.0 -

We can chuck in the Contra affair, interference with African states, the long standing mis-treatment of Cuba, the constant meddling in Central and South American governments, the assassination of Che Guevara and the constant and eternal paranoia.
I know there has been a rise in shootings but we can wind the clock back to 1971 that nutter who got people to drink cyanide in a mass suicide event, the same year that wossisname - Archer Blood, an American diplomat and the murders of Hindu and Bengali's.

Iraq - what a complete and utter f*ck up... Iraqi deaths due to US invasion: 1.3m. (http://markhumphrys.com/iraq.dead.html).

Domestically, there has always been huge inequality. Not everybody has access to healthcare. The gap between the richest and the poorest is massive.

Some gun stats:
The statistics
Mass shootings: There were 372 mass shootings in the US in 2015, killing 475 people and wounding 1,870, according to the Mass Shooting Tracker, which catalogues such incidents. A mass shooting is defined as a single shooting incident which kills or injures four or more people, including the assailant.
Source: Mass Shooting Tracker
School shootings: There were 64 school shootings in 2015, according to a dedicated campaign group set up in the wake of the Sandy Hook elementary school massacre in Connecticut in 2012. Those figures include occasions when a gun was fired but no-one was hurt.
Source: Everytown for Gun SafetyResearch
All shootings: Some 13,286 people were killed in the US by firearms in 2015, according to the Gun Violence Archive, and 26,819 people were injured [those figures exclude suicide]. Those figures are likely to rise by several hundred, once incidents in the final week of the year are counted.
Source: Gun Violence Archive
How the US compares: The number of gun murders per capita in the US in 2012 - the most recent year for comparable statistics - was nearly 30 times that in the UK, at 2.9 per 100,000 compared with just 0.1.
Of all the murders in the US in 2012, 60% were by firearm compared with 31% in Canada, 18.2% in Australia, and just 10% in the UK.

When you read that ^, they are a bunch of f*cking nutters. Mainly given there god damn right to carry guns and the over whelming lack of motivation to curb it.
"2. The cumulative number
Comparisons can help us to understand scale. Since 1968, when these figures were first collected, there have been 1,516,863 gun-related deaths on US territory. Since the founding of the United States, there have been 1,396,733 war deaths. " Source: Small Arms Survey.
The American Government has always been for the elite and the corporations which makes the appointment of Trump totally ironic. Nothing has changed. I find it amusing when the commentators give the reason for his election victory as a vote against the status quo.
