No doubt correct.
But I reckon they'd work on 99.99% of the people who call themselves Christians.

Trumps stolen a picture of the crowd from Obama's 2009 inauguration as his own banner picture on his Twitter account due to the low turnout at his own inauguration!!
Lol at Paul Ryan, so much bullshit...less than 6 months ago they're stabbing each other and today they're all licking each others arse. McConnell was for Rand Paul and now licking his arse too, hard to take the US seriously.
Inspirational. I feel so motivated now.
Must admit, I quite enjoyed reading sooky articles on Daily Life from Clem Ford and serial outraged whiner Erin Riley this morning. From Ms Riley:
I wonder which HBB Bill has been caught staring at this time?

US politics is steeped in religion because they know that true power comes from the concept that you have been ordained by god. Every major world power - from Egypt to Assyria, Babylon to Persia, Greece to Rome - has known that people are much more compliant when their desire for a better life is entwined with their desire for a better afterlife.
It's a version of Marx's "opium for the masses".

Surprising speech
Hes left no room for compromise or flexibility on the big core commitments (manu jobs will return, wall, health, etc), and it was an incredibly partisan speech
Two mistakes that obama made in 2008
Given politics is the art of compromise, it will be interesting to see if trump fans handle disappointment as badly as obama fans have

That's a really interesting concept.
Well the US is well known for the old religious axiom, that 'they pray to God on sunday but prey on their neighbours every other day of the week'
Yes, 'the opium of the people' in the US it is.
I slept in. Was a much better choice than watching whatever the clown did
Like Rabbot, Trump put so much effort & so many lies into his campaign, he doesnt know where to stop & start leading. That requires policy, planning & diplomacy.
Lies & bullying may work in his business. POTUS requires working with others & compromise. He's never done that yet. So we wait & see.

Speech seems incredibly formulaic, except for the odd moments when crazy statements are made, like that Islamic extremism will be removed from the face of the Earth. I suppose that will happen eventually, which is maybe what he meant, and not necessarily from his term.
Good to hear a key world leader address the problem of Islamic extremism though. Makes you wonder why everyone was avoiding it for so long.
Having said all that, I doubt Trump will be particularly successful in this area.

I just hope celebrities will look out for us all

I think the thread title can be changed, or a new thread started.
Congrats to Donald on his triumph. Personally think it will be a train wreck but good luck.
Thanks to Procrastinator35 on the vid. Time to have a listen in.

I like building the wall in theory. Keeping more jobs in the US for US citizens is a good thing. Trump wants to make sure the US is great again, meaning their country prioritised over others and that is fine with me. There were a lot of individuals forgotten by past administrations and they won't be now.
In terms of Australia we will have a good healthy relationship with Trump. Prepared to give him a chance.
Much rather him than yet another Clinton!

He speaks as though the us is teetering on the brink of collapse. Imagine he inherited the economic disaster that Obama got handed
