Welcome to the Trump world order
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] So Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
is the new president of the United States. Allan Lichtman and his "13 Keys to the White House" have been proved right. The 30-year tradition of predicting the out-come of the US presidential elections continues uninterrupted. Political figures have started checking their social media accounts, deleting Tweets that could be uncomplimentary to Trump. It doesn’t help as the Internet remembers everything.

Some are even more unlucky. French President Francois Hollande

#1  Allan Lichtman was wrong his formula predicts the popular vote and Trump did not get that.

#2  The safe way to bet is that there is a Rantburger who knows what's wrong about a report, and why. :-) Thank you, Bernardz.

#3  I observe Trump wears an American flag on his lapel.

I remember Obama didn't, a while back. The (other)loser? I can't remember.

#4  A large number of white Americans continue to show racist tendencies. While calls for toler-ance goes on, the influx of immigrants colonists gave a fertile ground for racism and somehow xeno-phobia.

Any examples, buddy? Anyone? Ferris?

That's because the charge is baseless. The left has redefined racism from 'the assertion of superiority of one race over another' to 'any behavior between a white and a non-white we don't like. If it's between a non-white and a white, that's okay'. Fortunately, they've thrown around the racism card like mini-Snickers bars at Halloween, so the charge has been rendered nearly moot. When everything's racism, nothing is.

#5  Raj, White racism also includes when a person of color fakes a hate crime or art projects and other such incidents.

#6  A unicorn isn't a pony,
And liverwurst isn't bologna,
And feeltime ain't mealtime...
Let's talk about REAL crime
And how many "hate crimes" are phony.

#7  Andy Jackson rides again?
Posted by: g(r)omgoru || 11/12/2016 15:27 Comments || Top||

#8  Remember Andrew had a peptic ulcer and was just basically just damn mean. Trump seem s a happier type.

I'd prefer Jackson of course.

My first and last offer.
Move or die.

This Irish Isle Will Greet Those Fleeing Trump With a Hug and a Pint
(ANTIMEDIA) Inishturk, Ireland -- A radio DJ from Canada’s Cape Breton Island first introduced the idea of havens for Americans seeking escape from a Donald Trump presidency -- but now Ireland is joining in with its own offer for possible future expats.
Inishturk, a remote Irish Isle situated nine miles off County Mayo, has decided to court the potentially disillusioned segment of the United States populace with an open-armed offer to provide a safe place to live if the idea of a Trump presidency is too much to bear.

#1  Population 58. But they do have a library that is also a pub.
Posted by: phil_b || 11/12/2016 3:22 Comments || Top||

#2  They'd rather have free section 8 housing and phones w/ data plan.

#3  My ancestors left Ireland 170 years ago to come to America. Still the right choice!
Posted by: Tom || 11/12/2016 8:16 Comments || Top||

#4  I visited my family's ancestral hovel on the north coast of Mayo some years ago. Beautiful, beautiful country, but the best part is there's not even a barbed wire fence between you and the North Pole. And if you want the locals to double over in laughter ask them about central heating. So, go for it, guys. Be sure to bring your money with you.

#5  They will do this much to their eventual regret. Do they have any idea who these people are?
Posted by: Injun Bucket8891 || 11/12/2016 11:20 Comments || Top||

#6  From County Mayo to Nola. Musta been a shock to your folks, even wymins can walk in the streets with a pint. :)

#7  A radio DJ from Canada’s Cape Breton Island first introduced the idea of havens for Americans seeking escape from a Donald Trump presidency

How sweet? It will be a place where snowflakes have "safe spaces" and are free from "trigger words" and have a PC-molded environment. Sounds like hell.

#8  Sounds like hell xxcept for the pint--now that sounds good.

#9  Years ago I had lunch and a pint in a pub in Knockanure, Ireland. It was also a leather shop and had framed pictures of JF Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln.

Then there was a pub in Galbally which was also an undertakers parlor.

So many pubs, so little time.

#1  Good,
This was pure rent-seeking and a veneer of trade to make it pass MSM "inspection".
Posted by: Bright Pebbles || 11/12/2016 4:24 Comments || Top||

#2  Well, that is another plus of Trump winning.

#3  Good!
