There was no good choice in this election and although it's disappointing, if Hilary got in there would be worried posts about her too. I think all these posts and comments the 'end is nigh' comments are a bit OTT

people keep speaking about the trump child rape stuff but what about the claims both Clintons are involved with paedohilia?

Things did happen when the Brexit vote was announced. Polish people were attacked. As for what will happen when Brexit actually comes into force- we don't know that yet.

We don't know what kind of a heads-up Trump's election will give to organisations like the KKK, but I can imagine quite a few people are worrying about that now. As for what will happen when Trump himself comes into power, we will have to wait until January to find that out.

I just can't imagine how they went from Obama to Trump. It's unbelievable.

"people keep speaking about the trump child rape stuff but what about the claims both Clintons are involved with paedohilia?"

a) where is the evidence? all he says is "we know"

b) the definition of paedophilia is not "engaging in sex with minors"- an affair with a 15yo, though possibly morally deplorable and illegal in some countries, is not paedophilia

peggyundercrackers · 09/11/2016 10:54

cory go and have a look around the internet and look for claims the Clintons are tied to underage sex - there are literally 100s of pages about it. are they all untrue? why did Clinton visit epsteins island so many times? even if he didn't engage in activity with minors why did he let it go on - he must have turned a blind eye to it? the Clintons knew exactly what has went on, they aren't stupid people - they are control freaks and make sure they know about everything about their friends.

tbh I don't care either way, lots of people slinging mud one way (in trumps direction) but I'm sure the Clintons have many many skeletons in their cupboard they don't want anyone to know about. neither party are ideal but the USA have what they have, people just need to get on with it and deal with it instead of crying into their milk.

peggy, do you seriously not see the difference between a candidate that may have behaved badly in her private life, and a candidate who has actually got to power because of his racist, misogynist and homophobic message? a candidate who is supported by the Ku Klux Klan?

Pluto30 · 09/11/2016 19:26

cory Not if we're talking about pedophilia and/or sexual abuse.

Why wouldn't it be relevant if the Clintons were involved in that kind of thing? Because it was "private", that means it shouldn't be relevant?

OhHaaaaay · 09/11/2016 19:38

I'm genuinely unable to worry about this about the moment because I cannot process what is happening.

They elected Trump.

Trump is going to be POTUS.

He will be leader of the free world. Commander in Chief.

DONALD TRUMP.

Confused x a billion.

VladimirsPooTin · 09/11/2016 21:01

OP I agree. Too much hysteria and pearl clutching.

Of course it should. But I would like to see some evidence.

Pluto30 · 10/11/2016 20:14

Monica Lewinsky, Kathleen Wiley, Paula Jones, Juanita Broaddrick... So on and so forth.

There's plenty of evidence. The victims have come out again recently and accused Hillary of enabling the abuse.

Don't forget that Bill Clinton was impeached because of his behaviour. And don't tell me that Hillary had no idea what was going on.

GinAndTunic · 12/11/2016 22:23

Bill Clinton was impeached

No, he was not impeached.

dudsville · 12/11/2016 22:30

The KKK are thrilled about the outcome and are planning a celebratory rally. That's "a bad thing" that's cause for some worry.

Pluto30 · 12/11/2016 22:37

Gin Yes, he was. The outcome was irrelevant. He was impeached.

dudsville Bad like the leftists making up that Trump supporters mugged them? Burning the US flag? Hurling insults at people they assume to be "racist", "sexist", "homophobic" etc? Carrying a figure of Donald Trump on a noose around with them? Trashing cities?

Yeah, alright, sure.

RJnomore1 · 12/11/2016 22:40

It's a bit like peter stringfellow becoming prime minister really.

itsbetterthanabox · 12/11/2016 22:40

Why would Clinton have been equally bad?
I don't think there would be worried posts about her in the same way.

Pluto30 · 12/11/2016 22:44

itsbetter People have been posting responses to that question for days now. If you go back in any Trump thread, you'll find a myriad of answers.
