I wish they wouldn't and just discuss the core topic.

Is the hundred days up yet?

The main issue here seems to be an elderly bloke intent on going to Florida but with the proviso there are no swamps there whilst carrying too much baggage onto the cruise liner which he is sailing around on.

I'm guessing Donald has womans hands.....

As a lefty I can't thank Trump enough for the work he's doing against the bonkers right. I just hope he's allowed to get a full term in. That's my main worry at the moment.
hehehehehehe

Trump to the left is what Corbyn is to the right.

Surely that can be measured and assessed just like any other form of advertising and general communication.

Indeed, isn't the whole advantage of "internet" use that it can be monitored and analysed quickly and easily?
Monitored - who by? What happens is that, based on social media 'likes', a person is targeted with an advert that is designed to push their buttons. So it might be a pro-family advert for this person, or an anti-Muslim advert for 5oh, or a low-tax advert for a business owner. The specific advert is injected into the voter's browser, when he/she logs into social media. They will not even know the ad's been chosen based on their prior online behaviour.

You - the US version of Eric Mc - won't see these adverts. Nor have any idea if the claims in them are true/fake. You won't be able to complain about them, and you won't know what was promised. So you can't remind Trump voters how the promises were lies.

Are you really suggested that Trump was making different election promises on the internet compared to on other media during his campaign?

While sorting out healthcare, obviously making it cheaper and better. It'll be beautiful. And all that done from the golf course.

How do you solve a problem like N Korea?

Well, they have some really great Generals, with fantastic plans, and they are totally going to solve the problem better than Obama did before, of that he can guarantee.

Isn't loony (or looney) slang for cock?

I now have horrible visions of the BBC's next early Saturday evening light entertainment/reality show...mind you, who do you think would make a bigger hash of it: Donald Trump or Andrew Lloyd Webber?

It derives from "luna" - the Latin for moon, via "lunatic".

I'm simply telling you that in a world where the MSM is losing influence, there's a reason why Cambridge Analytics is paid so much. For old fogeys like you and me, who view social media with distate and/or suspicion, we are 'out of the loop' on direct voter advertising.

For instance, if 5oh keeps liking Facebook postings about guns, he may get social media adverts with claims/promises that do not figure in the MSM advertising campaigns we see.

It (the big data analysis and direct advertising) is how Trump won the election:

Cambridge Analytics said:
We are thrilled that our revolutionary approach to data-driven communication has played such an integral part in President-elect Trump's extraordinary win.
The genie is out of the bottle. Remember Mercer's speciality? Big data means that your/my understanding of political campaigning and democracy are out of date.

Depends if they are allowing him to build Trump golf course resorts or not.


I hear Scotland is high on his target list.

I know, hence me making clear that I was only referring to a slang term, rather than looking for a history lesson.
