    he won with millions less votes then Clinton, Trump is an affirmative action President

    yeah, Trump is just like Brexit, no one thought it would pass, so many did not bother to get out and vote... now look at the mess they are in.. good comparison

    Many in intelligence believe that the Iran agreement was ineffectual and since it sunsets it actually allows Iran to have a nuclear weapon. Anyone that 'trusts' the Iran government is only fooling themselves. Iran only capitulated to reduce sanctions but would do what it wants anyway. Trump dumped the useless agreement for more sanctions which some in intelligence believe is the only pressure Iran will react to.

    Possibly but even with a minority voting it still must signal something that so many would vote against the political mainstream?

    when thing are going good people are not as motivated to get out and vote and when that happens, bad people can take over the process, people like Trump

    I would actually say it was the other way around, people turn to populism during the bad times It's not 'bad' people taking over the process, it's those outside the political mainstream who shake things up. As for voter turnout, we'll see, sauce for the goose...

    Why do you view these supposed "outsiders" as not being capable of also being "bad"?

    His administration ignores the law routinely, and is so inept that it can't even do the bare minimum record to support their idiotic decisions.

    That's not "enforcing the law".

    I should rephrase that, when things are going good and not much change needed, people are less likely to vote

    with Trump many white nationalist did not like minorities getting equal rights or becoming President, so they voted

    I don't but you shouldn't view them as bad just because they're outside the liberal establishment.

    Exactly how many 'white nationalists' do you think there are in America? The fact you'd even use that phrase speaks volumes of your prejudice. I think you'll find minorities got equal rights a long time ago and the people who put Trump into power are the same who put Obama, especially in the rust belt.

    Trump only needed a few thousand extra votes in a few key states

    Not in my view. He let the Iranians get away with shooting down a drone. He should have done an air strike on the facility that launched the missile and then moved on. I believe it would have ended there without a war. Doing nothing is like giving them permission to engage in more mischief.

    You really need an example? That's like bobbing around in the ocean and asking for proof that the ocean is made of water.

    Try his latest fiasco with the citizenship question, or the fact that he asked numerous people to ignore the subpoenas from Congress, or how about the refusal hand over his tax returns in compliance with the law?

    All of which are legal questions under debate and judicial review, none of which is an illegal act. Really, is that ALL you have?

    Nope. Brexit is a mess because no one in our government has the balls that Trump has and unfortunately Thatcher is not here to sort it out. Also, we too have dreadful lefties here causing no end of problems.

    No, these are not subjects in need of legal review. When Congress serves you with a subpoena, you comply. When Congress request tax returns under statute, you don't fabricate a phony reason and have the freaking WH tell bureaucrats to refuse.

    Simply because the WH refuses to comply with law doesn't mean that it has a legal reason.

    I understand that you don't have any idea what you're talking about, but I do expect you to perform a tiny bit of research about how the law is supposed to work here. This isn't Northern Ireland, and you haven't even looked into the laws here.

    You want someone in your government to bluster and spout nonsense to get you through the Brexit mess? *LOL*

    You see what you see from afar. Up close, he's as incompetent, puerile and ignorant as it comes. I wouldn't inflict someone like him upon you.

    Would you suggest Obama to give our sovereignty away and pay £700 billion to stay in :rolleyes:

    If we wanted a wet fish slimeball to sort it, Obama's phone would have rang, but IT won't, ever.

    Explain how the EU is stealing your sovereignty.

    Bonespurs is a moron, first and foremost. He has accomplished dick here, so to suggest that someone like him will push Brexit through is fantasy. Unless you believe that tweeting insane drivel while getting almost nothing else done is "leadership".

    Yes I have, this is not cut and dried, these incidents are subject to legal debate and arbitration. And if 'Sanctuary Cities' can ignore the immigration laws...?
