"They were stupid to believe his lies, as they will find out."

Oh seriously do you honestly think they don't all lie just to get elected !!

Show me a truly honest politician and maybe they'll be sitting next to the Easter bunny.

At my coffee morning a couple of points were made.

1. Why didn't Hil attack him in the last couple of days before the election and after she had been 'cleared' of the email accusations?

2. Is it because she had something to hide?

3. While I thought she behaved with statesmanlike restraint, was it because the fight had gone out of her? And see 2 above.

4. We were amazed that her envoy sent everyone home; where was she with her thanks and gratitude to those who helped with her campaign? A sore loser, heartily sick of it all or still hoped to be a winner? Certainly it was not her honourable moment.

5. We thought she should leave everyone to get on with it, retire to a lovely island and enjoy her family and all that life has to give.

6. Give the hair-chucker the slip before he tackles her again as he has promised to do.

7. Will she kick Bill into touch though? ;-)

Hilary Clinton has a very good understanding of the law and many years of experience of the workings of government.

What President (oh dear) Trump has I really could not say.

He has a lovely hairdo.

I wonder how many more protest type votes there have to be before those in charge start to wake up to the fact people are fed up !!
I don't like Trump but then Clinton wasn't much better just different.
To say people are stupid for voting for him, well that's democracy for you everyone has the right to vote. At least they went out and voted. Don't moan if you didn't vote....think we've had this conversation before haven't we.......

I watched the coverage all night - yes I am that sad!

It's all very well having 'celebs' support a candidate but that doesn't compare to the 'military' support and the weight it carries.

She is definitely the most distrusted candidate for decades and just goes to show how Bernie Sanders would probably have carried the majority vote if he had stayed in the race.

It's very telling that Clinton has not made a public appearance and US commentators have stated just how disrespectful that is to her team and supporters.

Interesting times ahead, let's hope he appoints to right people to advise.

Polly, the poor kid was absolutely dead on his feet through exhaustion.

What I find most surprising is that a country that has in excess of 318 million people have had to choose between these two. Not a choice I would like to make.


I have been watching Trumps "victory " speech, the young man at his side whom I assume to be his son. Poor chap look decided uncomfortable, his body language spoke volumes to me.

God help America. God help the world!

thank heavens it is over that is after the postmortem.
Had to post this as it has been going round in my head for days. A song i recalled from childhood

To Bombay
A traveling circus came
They brought an intelligent elephant
And Nellie was her name
One dark night
She slipped her iron chain
And off she ran to Hindustan
And was never seen again

Nellie the Elephant packed her trunk
And said goodbye to the circus
Off she went with a trumpety-trump
Trump, trump, trump
Nellie the Elephant packed her trunk
And trundled back to the jungle
Off she went with a trumpety-trump
Trump, trump, trump

Night by night
She danced to the circus band
When Nellie was leading the big parade
She looked so proud and grand
No more tricks
For Nellie to perform
They taught her how to take a bow
And she took the crowd by storm

Nellie the Elephant packed her trunk
And said goodbye to the circus
Off she went with a trumpety-trump
Trump, trump, trump
Nellie the Elephant packed her trunk
And trundled back to the jungle
Off she went with a trumpety-trump
Trump, trump, trump

The head of the herd was calling
Far, far away
They met one night in the silver light
On the road to Mandalay
Nellie the Elephant packed her trunk
And said goodbye to the circus
Off she went with a trumpety-trump
Trump, trump, trump
Nellie the Elephant packed her trunk
And trundled back to the jungle
Off she went with a trumpety-trump
Trump, trump, trump

I wonder if he'll try to 'remove' Native Americans?
After all, they could be mistaken (by him) for Mexicans.

America had the choice of two clowns
The people have spoken with their votes
Personally I think both Candidates are nuts
God help Americas if that's the best they where offered

To be honest I think if Micky Mouse had also run
We would now be congratulating

President Micky this morning :-( :-( :-(
