President Trump
We know that the Donald is an ardent
follower of Norman Vincent Peale’s “Attitudes are more important than facts." He promises quick, painless and complete solutions to
problems that are deep and complex But I have some specific questions:
1) What will the Draft-dodger-in-Chief do with the
military?
(Is he a
typical politician who is willing to lay down your life for his country?)
2) How will the First Freeloader, who is proud to pay no
taxes, reform the tax code?
(Will
there be a large bonus for the 1% and a small sop for the rest of us?)
3) How will the husband of a formerly undocumented worker handle immigration reform?
(Will
there be a difference in the way your illegal and my illegal are treated?)
4) How will a bankrupt handle our national debt?
(Is
default on the cards?)
5) Can the guy who
eschewed campaign contributions reform political finance?
(What’s
his upside for even trying to drain the swamp?)
(How long
could that work?)
7) Can the self-styled Christmas Christian preserve
religious freedom for all religions
(Will there
be a difference in the way your religion and my religion are treated?)
Only time will tell
Our only hope is that, like most politicians, he has no intention of keeping any of his election
promises. Specific campaign promises we hope he will not keep include:
1) Tearing
up free trade and re-introducing significant tariff barriers
2) Rounding
up and deporting 11 million workers
3) Kicking
9 million off health insurance
4) Borrowing
money abroad to pay for massive tax cuts for the very rich
5) Withdrawing
from NATO
6) Encouraging
Iran to re-start their nuclear programme
8) Increasing
government surveillance of my internet
9)
Making torture a part of our military
Trump’s US Presidential Election Win Sees Hundreds Of Protesters Gather American democracy believes in the peaceful transition of power and coming behind whoever wins as OUR president. People who protest this are anti-American and anti-democracy.
(I say that as someone who did not support Trump during the campaign nor vote to elect him.)
‘Millions To Lose Insurance,’ And Other Likely Headlines From The Trump PresidencyCongratulations Huffpo. By giving Trump 4 times the coverage of any opponent, you played a big role in helping to get him elected.
[Some] Reading Students Boycott University Challenge After Accusing Jeremy Paxman
"Misogyny and sexism are not about ‘offending’ contestants, but undermining and oppressing individuals due to their gender."
That could be so, but this article contains NO evidence that Paxman committed either mysogyny or sexism. False accusations are not about offending the accused, they are deliberate oppression designed to ruin the target's good name and character.
"...the university has come under fire for failing to support student’s views."...
The University said it would "support any students who feel they have been victims of prejudice and investigate any complaints, but none have been reported to us.” Basically, the students are saying that the university should support their oppression of Paxman with no evidence, indeed without even a complaint.
