Well, dude, we know for sure what yours is full of.

(Btw a double negative in English is a no-no. Tricky to negotiate, I agree).

I think the winds of change may be dreadful for you. I can't say sorry, as its not my fault and its a choice you make, but my condolences nevertheless.

Don't worry, Phos, those same winds will blow on you too. I hope you've paid off your mortgage.

There are opportunities in anything and any situation. The thing is how you play your hand and what your motivation is.

If you're on a desert island with 10 people and no clean water source, but you have a 2lt bottle of mineral water, do you give everyone a share to ingratiate yourself, or sell it to the highest bidder? Both of those are opportunities.

Yet all I'm hearing is a third option; you cry, complain and look for someone to blame. :roll eyes:

You're wrong. It doesn't matter to me. I'm not American.

What does matter is staying true to what I believe, win or lose, but you're someone who doesn't have the courage of your convictions. You change with the wind. You're a fickle creature. Those are my observations based upon your recent behaviour and it's up to you whether you see them as criticisms. They aren't meant that way.

If the future is all wine and roses, why didn't you have the courage of your convictions to actually vote? You're not being proactive in any of this, merely managing your expectations based upon the result.

I'd rather save everyone else from your drivel as well

Silly. We had two bad candidates, neither of which inspired me to vote for them. It's over, then we move on.

Did you folks need a crying session first or something?

Didn't cry. Won't cry. Am not American!
You're talking in riddles again.

"He has though implemented a restriction of lobbying for 5 years and restrictions on foreign lobbying for his cabinet." Really? Before he is inaugurated?
Implemented or just another wish like jailing Clinton?

Just attempting to read the Trump NYT interview transcript, but it's tortuous. It's like the kind of conversation you get when you ask a 4yr old what they want for Christmas. His standard of English is incredibly poor at the point where he should be upping his game.

It beggars beliefe that he can flip flop from this...

...to this within hours. They must have appealed to his vanity.

They announced it is stipulated in the contract of any incoming staff member.

Yes, his English is appalling. But not just that. I thought you might like this:

Thanks, so they still have to be approved by Senate.(Article II, Section 2, Clause 2 of the United States Constitution, ).

For a staff work contract? I doubt it. Thats between the state department and the staff.

I doubt he is capable of splitting his personal interests after a lifetime of doing the opposite; it is too deeply ingrained.

That is interesting. It seems unlikely that the Trump administration would investigate that, though.

The gulf between his utterances and Obama's eloquence is astounding. Even George W. Bush was miles ahead of him. But perhaps it works in his favour if it makes him seem more "ordinary".

Obama says USA is the greatest nation on earth.
It was refreshing to hear that Trump is going to make USA great again.So I guess its not really the greatest nation. Even Obama gets it wrong

Yeah, some people really need to hear they're the greatest nation on earth.
Trump gives them plenty of that.

No, no, no. So, once upon a time the country was great, then it became the greatest, and now Trump will take the country back down a notch, from it being the greatest to making it great (again).
