Donald Trump
Comments

HaHa, only partially aimed at you Stevo! I do find it interesting how a few who lob in some comments but never address the crazy things that Trump does, you could turn that around on me and ask me to address the good things he's doing, but I would absolutely struggle. The tax cut may or may not work, i'm fairly ambivalent on that to be honest, not sure how far up the Laffer curve he's prepared to go? But given his past record it'll be over the top to bankruptcy. So were you have it, my take on the possible positive thing Trumps done. Sure FishBot and Rallybiker will take the opportunity to explain the positive's of leaving the paris accord, opening up native indian lands and Alaska for drilling/mining etc, banning Muslim travel, calling his own daughter a piece of @ss and say he would date her if he wasn't her father, brag about pu$$y grabbing etc, etc, etcStevo 666 wrote:

I'd have been disappointed, but fortunately, he has turned out to be as hilarious as expected.0 -
If only they had an opposite opinion? I don't see anything other than criticising the anti Trump opinion, no opinions at all about the positives of the Trump admin, prepared to admit i'm wrong if you can show me how for example the FishBot put's a reasoned case for Trump?Matthewfalle wrote:bianchimoon wrote:

Who are the Brexiteer trolls? Examples of their handiwork please.
Or is this another “person with opposite opinion must be a TROLL TROLL TROLL wah wah wah my fanny hurts TROLL TROLL” kinda post that some people tend to throw up when they don’t like what the see?All lies and jest..still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest....0 -

Just a little term of endearment, as his/hers comments are uncannily similar to the Russian bots comments during the Elections in favour of Trump but with no substance, just critical of Clinton.All lies and jest..still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest....0

They're not great, but some fairly well respected economists have also made clear that they aren't catastrophic either, and won't change all that much.0 -

I thought that, but then, when i still had mod powers, when you could check a few more things, you'd be surprised how many turned up to the forum.0 -

Some of the proposals will change quite a lot, but not simply things related to the rate or the overall tax take."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -

How do you mean? How many Russians turned up?
Can't they stick to annexing small Eastern European countries or do they get sidetracked by bicycle chit chat?Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

Hang on a minute Mr Nietzsche jnr, the suggestion was that the Russians were hacking BR and if there intent was to confirm Brexit as a good idea because they know it will be our ruin... Where does that leave your theory?
And the really big question: Why did a roofing specialist insist they got the measurements right and I did ask them if they took into consideration the overlap but they still got it wrong?! And what's this got to do with Brexit you ask?. Everything is getting squeezed - I reckon the sheets were 8" bigger* before the referendum.

A lot of people spreading a lot of seeds covers tens of thousands of websites in the U.K. so reaching lots of people.

If those Russkies start to plan kidnapping TDNFNATN I'm gonna well kick off.
They have been warned.
TDSD they can have as she will do their nuts in in no time. At the mo they are very welcome to TDV as well but I reckon they are too scared to take her on.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

Mr Nietzsche Jr, eh? Things are looking up.
I've always quite liked the way UK building materials are all sold in metric units, but imperial sizes.
I didn't say the Russians were getting any traction. Unless their aim is to invite ridicule, in which case I am at a loss.1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)

@ 50m in length, that's the metric system that is. When Brexit goes through, we'll do it in Furlongs, yard arms, lengths and chains.
One inch is 3 good grains of Barley laid end to end, 12" to a foot, 3 feet to a yard, 22 yards to a length...(or chain - 762" or 66 feet)...
Oh, it will be so much fun.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0
