If I were to be counseling a young person on business opportunities, I'd tell them this might be a good time to try and start a 'fix-it' business. Remember when your parents used to take that broken toaster, radio, or TV to the fix-it shop downtown? Yeah, those days will be back.

Actually, it may have a good effect on the enviroment and oil dependency, as well as in mining for rare elements.

Not so great for those businesses that rely on people buying the latest fashions. Apple, I'm looking at you.

Hoping that the upside to fascism will be that: HS2 won't be built; May will have pissed off the Chinese so much they won't build the safe nuclear power station,
Hopefully I can get a horse and cart and bake pies.

Sadly I think he is right destiny. It certainly seems like trump and Putin are spoiling for a fight. More worryingly I suspect a strategically placed war would do wonders for their approval ratings. If America started fighting Russia Putin's position would be unassailable and everyone would suddenly forget about all the annoying questions over trump's election promises. A win, win for them both. Of course, not so great for everyone else.

BigBadgers · 27/01/2017 16:09

Trump is due to speak in Russia on Saturday. Apparently sanctions are on the table for discussion. The guardian has a piece on it, rather worrying and does nothing to dispel the feeling that trump is a puppet for Putin

Mikhail Gorbachev is still alive. Shock

BigBadgers · 27/01/2017 16:13

Apparently so. Either that or he is one of these dead voters trump is so worried about Grin

Roussette · 27/01/2017 16:17

Yes very worrying Badgers

From Adam Khan's twitter feed... Trump's son in law and WH adviser is surely implicated...
"At 30, Kushner, pals with Putin pals Leviev & Abramovich, set a record for price paid for a building–$1.8B–how?

Wow this $ transaction between Putin pal Leviev who supports lifting Russia sanctions and Kushner and Schwarzman (both Trump advisers)"

No wonder DT is mooting he wants to lift sanctions.

Together we will make love?!!

Ewwww what is he getting at?

Lweji · 27/01/2017 16:37

He's being a fucking hypocrite.

Actually, it's clear he hasn't written it and I doubt he's seen it.

GingerIvy · 27/01/2017 16:41

Yes, his would be something like:

Poor Jews that died after being killed by those nasty Germans. Very bad Germans. I don't even like German food. Very bad.

Love to all the Christian Jews. We feel so sorry. Bigly sorry. Yugely sorry.

Grin
Lweji · 27/01/2017 16:42

I don't even like German food.

Because I'm a Germaphobe. Wink

Dear God, his insanity is contagious!

Pence vows ‘full evaluation of voting rolls’ in closed-door meeting with Republicans, recording shows

Also Rep Brooks from Alabama thinks they're right too.

GingerIvy · 27/01/2017 16:57

Closed door meeting. What, like in a padded cell?

Lweji · 27/01/2017 17:01

Who else thinks they are not evaluating voting rolls?
I'd bet on planning Trump's downfall.

"Together we will make love and tolerance prevalent throughout the world"
When are you planning to get started on that Donald? Going to forget your plans for the Muslim registry, and cancel the weekly criminal-immigrant shaming?

squishysquirmy · 27/01/2017 17:07

I thought Haley was the token sane one?

Coercion much? Trump, no means no!

And that goes for Brexitermoaners as well.
