Fake news?
And so the mid-term elections tomorrow. One of the (if not the) vilest PotUS ever - and almost certainly the greatest and most blatant liar the USA has ever had at the helm. Eight lies every single day of his presidency - even counting Sundays and all those days on the golf course that he said he wasn't going to have (because only Obama spent time on the golf course and he wasn't going to do that - which was a lie of course).
But of course if you convince your supporters that everything the majority of MSM says about him is a lie - then many will simply believe that the reporting of his lyng is in itself a lie. Not a great place to be.
Meanwhile when asked about telling the truth to the public (as he said promised before the election that he would) - Trump's reply? When I can, I tell the truth. But there's the problem. That's a lie - he rarely, if ever, tells the truth...
I am not a fan of The Don but the U.S. added 250,000 jobs in October, more than the 190,000 economists expected…. The unemployment rate held at 3.7%, a nearly 50-year low, while wages grew 3.1% year-over-year, the biggest jump since 2009…..Better get used to him as I think he is a shoe in for 4 more years!
"not a fan" but impressed with the figures??????

Quite easy for jobs to materialise when the conditions and impetus was created by the Obama administration.
I suspect that many of his acolytes listen to him lying - hear him lying - know that he is lying - but think that if they could get their own way, and what they want, by lying - then they would lie also.

So, is the world a safer place this morning?
Mid terms, not going to pretend I know much about the US electoral system/politics but seems Trump did ok yesterday, lost House of Representatives which gives Democrats means to frustrate him but retained the Senate doing better than expected which is as important. Some commentators even suggesting by losing the House of Representatives it gives Trump a better chance in 2020 of re-election as POTUS as he'll have someone to blame when he cant meet former promises such as building the wall.
Trying to understand their system - is it correct that some voters were voting for 3 persons yesterday, some 2 , some 1 and some no vote? Based on -
- Variable numbers of congressmen/women in House according to individual state populations, on 2 year terms.
- 2 senators per state on 6 year terms.
- 1 governor per state on 4 year term (some states 2 years)
I'm sure the Donald will be quite happy with the results. Nothing unusual about the party in the White House losing some seats in the mid-terms and he's increased his majority in the Senate.
