The God Emperor is romping it in in the Iowa caucus

This headline is a bit ominous, apparently the victory was called in 31 minutes, well that's democracy for you, the majority having their say.
Four years ago the majority got him out, now the majority want him back.
It seems the recent World wide push, is feeling a bit of pushback the only way the plebs can, at the voting booth.
The Governments around the World will be looking for a reset button, going on recent elections a there seems to be a major groundswell happening, who would have thought that would happen.

Trump breezes through major test of comeback ambition at Iowa caucuses

Trump’s win in Iowa, while expected, asserts his stronghold over the Republican Party, less than four years after the majority of Americans removed him from office.

www.theage.com.au

From the article:
But many of the Iowans this masthead spoke to ahead of the vote longed to have him back, citing issues such as border security, the economy and Joe Biden’s age and mental capacity.

“There are a lot of common folks that feel they’re not being represented,” said Abdiel Quiroga, who was at a caucus precinct in West Des Moines with his wife and three children.

“So for Trump to be an agent of change and an agent of chaos appeals to a lot of people who feel the general establishment doesn’t work for them.”

I see this as a good thing

I see this as a good thing

I don't know if it a good thing or not, but it is showing that the "middle" majority around the World are fed up with this "Elite" driven lunacy that is going on, most centre right wing Govt's were replaced by media driven campaigns.

Since then, the 'middle' class has seen their lives and aspirations shot to pieces (for want of a better word), the World has spiraled into chaos, Govt induced mass migrations have ensued and housing is a shambles across the World.

But apparently we are all caring and sharing, well I think the masses are flicking the bird to that, they think the elites are caring and sharing and the grunts are getting screwed.

The panic buttons will be going off in Canberra.

Yeah, well this is just the Republicans voting for their rep. Doesn't mean the rest of f the country want him.

As I've said before I know very little about U.S politics, just reading the media optics and they seem extremely concerned.

The funny thing is the right leaning media aren't talking it up much at all, the left leaning are sounding manic struck and find it unbelievable.

I didn't read it, I was just highlighting to Rumpy that the left leaning media are making a bigger issue of Trumps win, than the right.

I still can't believe I managed to fix on Trump @ $4.20, shortened into $2. 35 now on Betfair.

Value bet of the common era IMO

I don't have that much interest in US politics even though it filters down and effects us, I find the whole circus annoying.
However ! I do love getting on a plunge early in the betting so good luck

The Truth according to Trump.
Who said anything about just a one day dictatorship ?

Trump wrote: “A president of the United States must have full immunity, without which it would be impossible for him [or] her to properly function. Any mistake, even if well intended, would be met by almost certain indictment by the opposing party at term end.

“Even events that ‘cross the line’ must fall under total immunity, or it will be years of trauma trying to determine good from bad.”

Joyce Vance, a former US attorney now a law professor at the University of Alabama, said: “One of the obvious problems with this (just one of them), is that no former president has ever been indicted. Just Trump.”

Indeed moxy. You havn't let up either have you ? Resolutely glued to Trumps derierre hell highwater or treason.

Never, interested in responding to an issue of policy or in this case extreme demands for "total Presidential immunity."

Anyone with two functioning neurons would recognise that a person who demanded total carte blanche to do anything in office is just demanding a dictatorship. He/she is wanting to dismantle any guardrails that would stop him doing anything he wanted to do.

That head space alone should cause many voters to reconsider his fitness for office.

I'm just debunking any lies that I see. Majority are about Trump. Majority you fall for and then regurgitate them here. I'm providing reality. Here's what he said about being a "dictator".

Trump initially set off a furor last week when he told Fox News host Sean Hannity at an Iowa town hall that he did not plan to be a dictator if reelected, “except for day one.”

“He says, ‘You’re not going to be a dictator, are you?’ I said, no, no, no — other than day one. We’re closing the border and we’re drilling, drilling, drilling. After that, I’m not a dictator,” Trump added, drawing applause from the crowd.


As if to underscore that he relished the media’s reaction to his comments, Trump at a weekend gathering of conservatives in New York singled out a New York Times piece that outlined how the former president and his allies had leaned into concerns that he would rule as an authoritarian rather than try to dispel them.

“[Peter] Baker today in The New York Times said that I wanna be a dictator. I didn’t say that. I said I wanna be a dictator for one day,” Trump said at the Saturday event. “You know why I wanted to be a dictator? Because I want a wall. Right? I want a wall, and I wanna drill, drill, drill.”

How the hell do you clutch pearls over a throwaway comment at a rally. The media will do anything to paint him with their bs narrative. But everyone notices now. We have had 8 years of media bs. Everyone already knows its bs. One of the reasons I'm sick of pulling apart your Trump hits. They are majority bs.

Let's be honest, if Trump is allowed to run for presidential election and he is voted in by a majority of the population, isn't that democracy?

Or are you saying that the only people who should be voted in, are those chosen by the 'special' voters, who agree with the narrative.

Sounds somewhat like Russia or China.

Isn't a democracy based on the vote of the majority, so what is wrong with the majority being allowed to have their say?

Donald Trump is almost certainly going to be the Republican nominee for President. The article I referenced was quoting him arguing that the President should enjoy total immunity for anything he /she does in office.

The idea of democracy is a government that does have checks and balances. The government and its leaders are still subject to an independent legal system. Constitutions are framed to ensure that individuals are not allowed to have unlimited power and face no accountability for their actions.

Donald Trump has made it repeatedly clear that he does not agree with these boundaries and will do everything he can to overthrow legal sanctions against him. That takes him out of a democratic system into an authoritarian government. If people think this is a step too far they can recognise what he is doing and vote accordingly - while they still can.
