This is the thing about Trump. he's pretty much offended every demographic yet still remains popular. For whatever reason, he has a small group of Latino supporters after all he's said about them, a group of women, despite the fluent chauvinistic bilge he utters.

Everything he says is often fact checked and debunked by credible sources, yet so many do not seem to care? Down in the southern states his mentality appeals to people, as this is a place where white privilege exists.

I suppose we have to hold our breath and continue to watch the Circus.

I think I caught a brief part of the news covering the Muslims holding prayer/vigil. That was a great example of truly pious people, uncorrupted. I've met a few true Christians out here whom are all loving, sadly they are oh so few and far between though.

There is still one group he has yet to offend - white men wearing wife beater t-shirts, cigarettes stuck up their shoulder high sleeve who are drinking a Bud while driving a pick up truck, with a confederate flag in the back window, to the next NASCAR race!!!! Essentially your average white male inhabitant of the southern states!!!!

Sure I am being very generalistic, but it's amazing how he can verbally abuse people and still retain popularity, probably proves that most republicans will simply follow whoever gets put in front of them!!

He has offended white southern voters, he referred to them as "Poorly educated", They love him because he green lights and validates the pro-white Christian shit they already believe.
The type of person you described above, exist down here by the thousands. Trump needs only appeal to them, the super-delegates will do the rest.

Stateside,
Pity that Islam doesn't have a Pope.  Discuss (!)

They did, he was/is called Muhammad.

Maybe a 'Pope' that's cool and fresh like Francis. Definitely not one like Alexander VI, or any others for that matter.

I meant a living voice of Islam who they all listened to, who would "interpret" the Koran to the masses. And he would have the intelligence to "interpret" it in a peaceful way. (Currently Jihadis interpret it how they want to.)

This would again need the necessary reformation from within orthodox Islam itself. Mullah's would need to teach the true Koran, and not the modern Hadith's which abrogated over 240 positive verses about Non-Muslims. In contrast to this there are over 500 verses of intolerance towards Non-Muslims. Yet none of those were removed as the positive verses were.

The conclusion is, Non Muslims whom like heterodox Islam (which is what we're watching sweep the globe) don't know much about it at all. Until intolerance towards non Muslims is removed from the Koran completely, it cannot evolve as a peaceful religion.

This is part of the problem, expecting the 'true' Muslims to take out their own rubbish. They won't, the majority continue to either conform or keep quiet. They will not be ostracized from their communities for bucking the current system.

I've put a 'Like' on Stateside's post: not that I LIKE it, but I do LIKE his knowledge!!

That's fair enough! Naturally everyone is entitled to their own perspective. Sadly, for me. I know much more about Politics & Religion than I do about the beautiful game.

Some days I wish it were the opposite way around, I'd probably be less grim

So, the truth is now emerging that Donald Trump is the 'Manchurian Candidate'. I was wondering whose puppet Trump is. Now I Know. It's Vlad the lad.

No, it means the US will be using a 24 hour 11 minutes (give or take a few) day.

BTW it's Parka - Parker was Lady Penelope's butler !!

It is, you're right. I wear enough of them to know that too can only blame my phones autocorrect

I always thought Alan Hansen looked like a Thunderbirds puppet. That sheen on his face, and the way his eyes had that action man type movement, triggered by a switch at the back of his neck.

This thread has taken a serious tone with all this posting about Trump. Where are all the posts about Coronation Street? But both Stateside and SCO make some good points.

hes some more serious stuff to keep you away then

In mexico the goverment (corrupt drug lord xxxx ) are passing a bill and it will get passed because they decide not the people that from now on anyone protesting against things such as education, health and general stuff like 43 people kidnapped tortured shot in the head and then burnt will be classed as terrorirts and will therefor go to jail for anything between 10 & 20 years if they are not tortured shot in the head and there bodys burnt

And the american goverment pays for this by sending down more arms & money hence more power to this goverment in the pact they call the merida pact

Good stuff eh
