Nothing new here, the Saudis bailed out the UK from bankruptcy after the unions destroyed our economy in the 70s.

The point of the article is not the bailout. It's that the Trump Organization now serves as a vehicle to launder Russian oligarchy/mob money.

Which explains why he cannot release tax returns or divest. He launders money. That's it.

It boggles the mind how someone so clearly crooked and unsuitable can get the gig.

When it comes to unverifiable claims, the anti Trump brigade are in a league of their own.
They are just digging themselves a hole, all because Trump doesn't package his bullshit in the accepted way.

Which is worse, right in your face bullshit, or Obamas car salesmen bullshit.
Farage has bent Trumps ear, his comments could have come from a Farage speech and still people write him off as a nobody...holy crap, Brexit...influencing Trump to publically attack Germany for basically doing what the entire right has been saying for years, running the EU for their own benefit.

These are epic days and whatever you say, at the moment at least, Trump and Farage have pulled the rug from under the cosy status quo.

Its besides the point whether he talks bollocks about policy etc, all politicians do. The point is, he is quite obviously bent and coming out with all sorts of crazy statements on behalf of Russia, or more specifically, the KGB and mafia.

Like I said before, he won't make 4 years...one way or another. It wouldn't be the first time the assassination of an obnoxious idiot triggered a world war.

You say he won't make the 4 years, but I'm also pretty sure people said he wouldn't get the Replublican Nomination, or beat Hillary - the man has spent the last 2 years defying expectations, so not sure I would write him off so quickly.

*disclaimer* not a fan of his really, but am at least willing to give him a chance before jumping on the bandwagon.

There is giving him a chance and there is all the shit coming out of the woodwork that will either put him in jail or force a revolt.

He got three million fewer votes than Hillary. That's democracy for you.

Just meant the rest of the country got a say in who the President should be, not just LA and New York.

I'm more than happy to give him a chance, just becuase the wailing and gnashing of teeth coming from the "right on" sections of the media is fucking hilarious.

Oh I enjoy the tears of SJWs as much as the next man...but it appears Trump is completely bought and paid for which is the worrying thing.

If they tried to stitch this on Trump, there would be rioting across the States, allready the intelligence services have lost the trust of the people and the trump voters would see it as attempt by the establishment to grab power.
Would not end well..he is a genius who acts like a child.

Genius? Obvious troll is obvious.

Also. Rioting across the States? He has the lowest approval rating for an incoming President on record. If they proved he was a Russian stooge with a piss problem there'd be a minority of hardcore pricks who wouldn't accept it but they'd eventually remember they had attractive siblings.

Trouble is, they are mostly nutbars with military grade, automatic weapons (for hunting squirrels and such)

UKIP got 12.6% of the vote, but 0.15% of the MP's in our last general election. You gotta have a system and sometimes it works in the worlds favour, sometimes it doesn't. /me shrugs

Ah yes I forgot. This is 2017, so everything we disagree with is Hitler.

Silly me.

By buying weapons and services (Military/Aviation/Petrochem) - Al Yamah I and II? Hardly a bail out.

As opposed to proportional representation which has proved in most cases to give no clear winners and nothing meaningful ever gets done. I'm all for a better system but that is not it. As proved over decades by Italy and others.

UK system is far from perfect but better than most :) US system is about who lies the best and has the bigger add budget.
