The disabled reporter incident by the numbers.

Erm. Wow. Is that what you think is real, trustworthy reporting in the brave new world over there?
" Proof Meryl 'Pizzagate' Streep lied to keep the lizards in power"

And it's actually a very confused rant about how the media lied about people celebrating as the Twin Towers fell..

the bookies today had trump at evens to either be impeached or resign before his first term is over


i wonder what odds you would get for him to go full term?

The same bookies that bet he'd lose.

I'm shocked there aren't odds for a grassy knoll incident

He should just carry on using his own phone and posting on Twitter, not really the most powerful man in the world if he can't.

Yes, I do. which is why driving across the EU is even less like driving across the USA. There are only a few distinct "tribes" in the US (Roughly the two coasts, the north, the south, and the south west from my experience) and that compares to something like forty in Europe. I'd argue there's more diversity of experience in the UK than there is in the USA.

It's pretty diverse W-E and N-S....some one wrote a protest song about it....

From California to the New York Islands
From the Redwood forests to the Gulf Stream waters......

Meanwhile parts of Europe are so different they've been at war dozens of times, even literal next door neighbours in the same country within the last 20 years.

Country folk vs city folk isn't the same thing

Sorry for the slight spamming, I tend to do my PH Donald posts in spurts, just like his goodself on twitter.

My main thought is when he gets to be POTUS and loses the ability to do twitter he will be on his own and will no longer be able to blame the media for his actions, and he will then have actions that will be wrote in political law.

He will not be able to so easily gloss over mistakes then.

Roll on 20th Jan.

He will be continuing on twitter all he has to do is edit his name to president

I seem to remember the busing driving on whichever side had shade.

Being insular comes more naturally to a nation of this size. We have many cultures and climates from state to state. Travelling from state to state is akin to Europeans going from country to country. Your comparison is a bit apples & oranges. I agree with portions of your view; however, I am not so sure we need "fixing" as much as you claim.

Jimbeaux, spot on. He has seen the B-movies, he knows the USA very well

A "flyover country" expert?

I have been a permanent resident of the USA for the past 6 years. So I know a thing or two about it. Clowns.

Six years and you are an expert?? And you call us clowns.

Loses his ability to do Twitter? Likely not.

Let's not shortchange Countdown; he is not merely special, he is extra special.

The next 4 years is going to be such fun. Your PEOTUS will be experiencing something similar to one of the characters in Deliverance :

ETA: hopefully the russkis will have videos of it

Take caution not to be overly aggressive grasping at straws, you might poke your eye out.

You just exposed your lack of knowledge. "East, West, North, and South" as the only "tribes" is inaccurate. There are numerous "sub-tribes" that exist. Not a hit on you, you touched on definite categories; however, one would need to spend the better part of 20 years and getting around to really understand the many cultures that exist within those mega-categories you mentioned.

[Jimbeaux]

I see the BBC is showing Frederick Forsyth, ex MI-6er, as the second former Brit spy to say the Trump video claims are fake. The first being a Mr. Wordsworth. But Countdown knows more than them. C'mon CD, you can tell us, do you really work for Universal Exports?

OK, lets try a diagonal then
Nebraska/Florida,

Lived, East Coast NJ/NY and in the south totalling about 7 years plus over 38 "visits", the tribes as you call them have just as much basic differences in thinking than the French/Brits do, add in the sub sets and the differences are as substantial as A White Londoner and a Muslim from Marseille.

It is a massive generalisation....

I once sat in a park in San Francisco and a hobo told me where to go to get free coffee and a donut. It was around about then that I realised it was time to go home. I've traveled all across the states, and worked there a while too, and I like to think I managed to get at least some of an understanding of the place.

Riding a Greyhound across the great plains in the company of a guy from the pacific northwest who'd gone AWOL, some Latino ex-cons who were on their way home from jail, a kindly Grandma who gave me cookies and a former Texas oilman who was now selling solar panels was a particular highlight.

As was the guy in Austin who I asked about the Alamo and almost broke into tears when he was telling me the story of how the men who died there fought to the last bullet for something they believed in.

Everyone I met on that trip, regardless of where they were from or where they were going, was American in a way that I can never imagine someone saying they were European. Sure, there are people that describe themselves that way, but for the vast majority of citizens of Europe their country comes first.
