Mt61 I don’t know how you can profess to care about women’s rights and, at the same time, support Trump.

Do you care nothing about American women’s rights?

I agree with abortion for rape, medical conditions, too old, etc, but I don’t agree to abortions, being used as a form of contraception- no! & surely it has to be voted in by congress?

Do you not agree that other women should be allowed a choice?

Incidentally, how old is 'too old'? And why should it be morally OK to abort the fetus of an elderly women?

I feel physically sick. Misogyny, racism, criminality, hatred, violence, ignorance and conspiracy theories all elevated and revered. I'm done with Gransnet goodbye.
Goodbye 👍🏻

Don’t go, greyisnotmycolour, it’s not all of us who feel happy Trump is POTUS.

Mt61 Your response was both childish and spiteful! No need for that at all!

Truly spiteful and nasty and more.

Another 4 years of the reality show coming up. Ayyyy yaya

Mt61 are you aware of the current abortion laws in the USA, which are already draconian enough, and Trump will make even more so.

In most states women are left to ‘bleed out’, even if that means to their death because a doctor cannot stop the bleeding if it means harming the foetus.

Medical practitioners are avoiding going into gynaecology & obstetrics because, if they harm a foetus, they can lose their license to practice. There’s already a shortage in these professions - professions specifically for the good of women.

Rape, incest, death of the woman count for nothing.

Women’s right - rubbishangry

Sadly the Democrats have brought this on themselves and on America, and possibly on the rest of us. They hung on to an elderly man who clearly has either dementia or something similar, for far too long. They they parachuted Harris in at a late stage in the proceedings. I wondered if she was electable when that was done, and so it turns out, she wasn’t.

The Democrats need to choose better next time. They need to take stock and reflect on what they did wrong.

This, exactly.

Poor Melania...

I dont like the man but two things about Trump's policies I do admire:-

Putting your own country first and not being so liberal about supporting third world causes or warlords.

His policy on immigration with mass departations and internments.

Too many tax dollars flowing out of the county or being squandered on aliens who have contributed nothing to the community. I wish we had a government which had the guts to take a similar stance.

Keeper1 Wed 06-Nov-24 11:22:25

During his first term in office did things improve for the American people?

Allira Wed 06-Nov-24 11:21:18

So, Melania - what now? 🤔

Politely please, somebody tell me what they like about him and his policies?

Im wondering what I’ve missed Poverty and the peoples vote being taken for granted.
When your poor and your food/fuel bill goes up every week you can’t afford principles. Americans had more dollars in their pockets last time round.
Like the Labour Party here the democrats have taken the ethinic vote for granted. How wrong can you be. Have you seen the southern states that voted for him.
The one they got spectacularly wrong was Pennsylvania wher e 2/3 of the population are Peuto Rican. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I take your point petra. It's complex and my understanding of the political situation in the huge country of the US is limited.

Superficially I think Biden was a disaster and KH was parachuted in too late.

I can see why if you are broke and struggling, you are going to go for the guy who appears to be on your side.

Perhaps they think others have a "better deal" somehow.

Superficially I think Biden was a disaster and KH was parachuted in too late.

Unfortunately Kamala Harris was always going to be associated with the Biden administration.
She certainly came into her own during this campaign, I thought she was inspiring, but it was too late.

Americans must be more racist and mysoginistic than we thought.

Chocolatelovinggran Wed 06-Nov-24 11:17:52

Mt61 - I have never used the phrase " arse licking" and am astonished that you would regard such as having a place in considered adult debate.
Unfortunately, leaders of countries have to deal with all other leaders, on behalf of their country. It's called diplomacy.
As a Republican, I acknowledge that our monarchs have managed this very well over the years. Perhaps their views, in private, might have been more robust, but their public face did not slip.

It is a decisive result for Trump, both in the electoral college and the popular vote, within US democracy.

MaizieD oh well at least he has a sell buy date not even Trump is immortal.

I'm beginning to wonder!
Apparently, God is on his side.

Can there be a God?

We really do need to seek closer ties with Europe now.

Where does this leave Prince Harry and his admission of drug taking?

I don’t think Trump likes him very much.

Don’t go ‘greyisnotmycolour’, we need your voice on here, especially in the coming months/years, as we navigate through the tough times ahead.
Take a break but don’t leave, you’ll be missed. 😞

You know what you will get with him but Harris was the great unknown. I think that is why she lost, all she did was whinge and screech. A pity they didn’t find a better candidate. If I was American I would have voted for Trump . For the rest of us - not so good because he will always put the US first and sod the rest of the world. Things won’t be easy.

I would NEVER have voted for Trump, I may simply not have voted.

I didn’t see or hear Kamala “whinge” or “screech”
