What do you expect when the next POTUS is busy tweeting obvious falsehoods to the world
In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally
His supporters will believe pretty much anything.
Good Luck America, and yes I'm very disappointed in you
Good luck to you as well. Your "disappointment" in us is of no consequence and of even lesser significance. I, by the way, am very impressed with English history and traditions and am rather optimistic in the U.K.'s future.....even if they happen to be burdened by you.In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally

I am not sure what gets through the BBC sensors etc over there, so some points: 
Trump has met with Al Gore, Rahm Emmanuel and a few other Dems over the last few days. He is meeting with people from all political extremes. What for? No real idea.
So, he managed to keep some of the Carrier corp. jobs from going to Mexico. Seeing as their parent company owns Pratt & Whitney, defense contracts may have been on their mind. However, they stated that the promise to roll back some regulation was the clincher. The $7m incentive was offered before from Indiana and turned down. The regulation roll back promise along with the tax incentive sealed the deal. 260 regs were enacted by the feds this year alone on certain industries. 56 applied to Carrier.
The head of Japan's SoftBank, Mr. Son, was introduced by Trump in the lobby of his tower and announced that they will be investing $50 Billion in the U.S. and creating approximately 50,000 jobs. Mr. Son stated that it was Trump being elected that prompted this decision. Good so far, and not too shabby for a man who isn't even POTUS yet.

It would be a good idea to give the commander of the 7th Fleet a heads-up beforehand if the president-elect plans on noising up Beijing any further.

that Trump isn't he? Imagine what might have happened if he sold 1.6 Billion dollar's worth of weapons to Taiwan instead of just taking a phone call!!!

Isn't the SoftBank expansion funded by a Saudi tech investment fund? I thought Trump didn't want anything to do with them..Edited by Jimbeaux on Wednesday 7th December 21:01
Clinton camp still pushing Russian conspiracy, now going so far as to say Trump is in cahoots with Putin.

Just in time to push news about the own-goal recount effort off the front pages.
Sadly no further mention of Jill Stein, Russian Agent.

I think most of the world has moved on from the idea of Clinton as Prez now. What's much more interesting is the fact that you have instead elected Putin's bhttps://theintercept.com/2016/12/10/anonymous-leak...

You've come a long way from McCarthy, I'll give you that.
The cognitive dissonance that allows you to dismiss your own CIA as somehow cooking this all up in order to distract from an election recount sideshow is wondrous to behold.
You poor deluded saps
But I do enjoy the snowflake outrage, and the irony of it all.
Our CIA is not a monoculture by the way. Neither is the FBI.

I'm pretty much much with Sam Harris on the whole 'snowflake' thing:Sam Harris said:
And I’m confident that many people who don’t perceive Trump to be a dangerous conman in the way that I do probably voted for him out of sheer exasperation. They were sick of being called racists for not worrying about Halloween costumes on our Ivy League campuses. So, millions of these people, along with real racists, told all you social justice warriors at Yale and Brown to go fk yourselves.
And can you really blame them? I mean, safe spaces? Trigger warnings? New gender pronouns? Getting Muslim student groups to deplatform speakers like Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Bill Maher? Was that the cause of your generation? That’s the trench you are willing to die in?
Sounds about right to me.k yourselves.And can you really blame them? I mean, safe spaces? Trigger warnings? New gender pronouns?

You however seem to regard anyone who isn't a Trump supporter to be a snowflake. Meaning there's something approaching 60 million snowflakes in the USA alone, never mind the horrified ROW. Which I'm afraid rather takes the sting out of your would-be insult. Sorry about that.

They are the USA's security and intelligence services. And Trump would rather side with the Russians than them. If that doesn't alarm you, nothing ever will.Edited by minimoog on Tuesday 13th December 10:17

It would seem to sting, IMO. You've posted twice about it. You however seem to regard anyone who isn't a Trump supporter to be a snowflake.

The Russian conspiracy is classic Clinton, and has been done before (I previously linked to another excellent Greenwald piece on this). Unless they are going to post actual solid evidence of tampering, it is relegated to the category of SJW outrage.
Furthermore, even if the the claim could be backed up, the entire topic is a red herring to distract from the very real information on Clinton corruption provided to voters. So, we go full circle to realize, again, that the problem would appear to be Hillary Clinton.

Try applying that approach to the Clinton email issue.You seem to be suggesting the CIA are SJWs too, which is too funny for words.
