Oh for the good old days, when it was just the right wing finding fault with Obama and everything he did!

Like shutting down Guantanamo?

I dislike the man, was not happy he won but what the heck is with all these demonstrations? What exactly is their agenda? Oh yeah. Protesting.

I guess Clinton didn't have any affairs? Oh yeah. THAT doesn't count. And he was President at the time and she was an intern.

Re: 2016 US Presidential Election

I was watching Fox News last night just before the inauguration, and they had a reporter running around questioning the protestors before they got violent. Most were saying that Trump was illegitimate because he didn't win the popular vote (conveniently ignoring the fact that if it did matter (which it doesn't) the even more conservative Libertarian candidate got 3.4% of the vote, so that the two conservative candidates combined got more of the popular vote than did the Democrats).

Anyhow, the reporter came across one woman who said that Trump was worse than Stalin. The reporter asked if she was aware that Stalin killed about 50 million of his own people? She replied that during Stalin's time in power, the Soviet Union's population increased at 1.6% per annum.

I thought "How About That?". Communism has been effectively dead for 26 years, and they still are hanging around trained to be apologists for Stalin.

I thought the US Rent-a-Crowd seemed remarkably similar to Australian Rent-a-Crowds.

Surprisingly SBS said tonight that USA was behaving as an immature democracy

What a moment of leadership it would be if Clinton spoke out and told Americans to embrace the Government that was elected.

Amusing that Netflix released the promo for the new House of Cards during the inauguration. When asked why they said "we could not possibly comment."

Now come on! You've got to give Joe the benefit of the doubt.

Wasn't that the saying of the British version?

Re: 2016 US Presidential Election

Trump gave a powerful, compelling, and visionary Inaugural Address that sets the right tone for the new administration to sweep away the detritus of the diseased far-left bureaucracy and Christophobic self-loathing. In its place will come low taxes, sensible regulation, flourishing industry, and a culture that is allowed to assert itself, defend itself, and celebrate its traditions once more.

Good riddance to the bad rubbish of Obama and the moribund Democratic Party.

He survived his Inauguration Day so he has just under 4 years to go.

Many a man has gone into the presidency with good (or bad) intentions, but found the job too hard.

Oh Jesus.

Lets break down your down obvious self rant,

Trump gave a powerful, compelling, and visionary Inaugural Address

Many have commented this a the rant akin to a dictator from Venezuela.

that sets the right tone for the new administration to sweep away the detritus of the diseased far-left bureaucracy

Hang on? Didn't Mr. Trump promise to get rid of free trade deals that capitalists love? Didn't he promise to keep the Affordable Care act?

Christophobic self-loathing

Doesn't the American constitution have a separation of church and State?

In its place will come low taxes, sensible regulation

Aren’t the One percent already profiting handsomely from low taxes and lack of regulation?

and a culture that is allowed to assert itself, defend itself, and celebrate its traditions once more.

Isn't just code for alt right (Fascist wing) speech?

Or it could be his opinion, just like the ones you quote! All this name calling is not fact, but it beats me why people who see the end of the world as we know it are worried about frequent flying - shouldn't they be building bunkers? The facts so far are that Trump won a democratic election under the rules set down, just like 40+ before him. And based on the history of the US, Trump will likely have the same trouble with congress that his predecessors had in the US democratic system.

Sitting on hands, don't touch keyboard. Too late...
He won the election, how or why is not my business, my opinion of him and what effect he will have on the world is my own, just another place not to visit (my choice).

My recollection of the saying is that it is 'Sweet Jesus spare us' WMW.

Only until it hurts surely.

Just as long as we don't call each other detritus or fascist we should be ok.

I am not in any hurry to go to Trump's America any more than I was to Obama's.
