Foxy,

Your attacks on this man are pathetic.

Nothing that you publish from the left whinge echo chamber in which you perpetually dwell is new. All of it was known long before the election, and he still won it, with 52% of white women voting for him. The marchers dress up as genitals and some act violently, none of which is going to persuade his supporters to change. The more ridiculously they act the more they'll be ignored.

A year from now you might really have something to protest about, but having cried wolf so many times, no one will be listening.

I despise Trump's arrogance, sexism, protectionism, etc. However, given the ridiculous displays of petulance, and attempts to control the lives of everyone, I can see why he won.

Dear Shadow Minister,

Again with the "left whinge," accusations.

I don't reference your consistent narrow-minded ideology.
And the views published are not necessarily my own.
They're given simply as an example of what people
think . I publish links from many sources - yet
you view them all as "left whinge." That says a great deal
about your own ideology.

As for President Trump? History suggests that institutions
tend to dominate personalities. I suspect that Trump will
not be the exception. The success of other presidents
was ultimately due to the degree to which they were
politically restrained. Lyndon B. Johnson was praised for
his political skill, but he gained legislative victories
mainly through strong partisan support in Congress whilst
Richard Nixon's opposition from Congress was ultimately
his undoing. Trump faces the same institutional constraints
as any other president - Congress and the Courts

Foxy,

I similarly find your POV a narrow and archetypical progressive agenda.

There are similarly plenty of people, and articles, with people who relish Trump's shaking up of the status quo after the ineffectual Obama administration.

Dear Shadow Minister,

Now I'm glad that that's settled. You're narrow-minded
and I'm progressive.

As far as The American President is concerned?
It will be interesting to see what kind of support
Trump manages to glean as time goes by. And what
if any constraints Congress and the Courts
place on him. As one Republican MP stated on the
news last night - if the Presidentdoes anything
that goes against our Constitution and our American
values, we will impeach him.

Interesting times ahead.

cont'd ...

America has a new President who thrives on adulation
But can his words alone really save the nation?
When all is said and done and the foolishness ceases
Who'll be there for the people to pick up the pieces?

Agreed Progressive and narrow minded is the same thing.

Just remember that at least for at least the next 2 years the Senate and Congress are republican. My guesstimate is that the anti abortion edict he issued was a sop to the religious wing of the republicans to butter them up for his next moves (as he has no strong feelings on the issue). As I read, there is a good chance that he will roll back the progressive agenda that the left has been building for the last 50 yrs.
