If only it were an option:-

Shame it's a hoax.

ah PHHHOEY!

Don't forget a similar number of people have signed a petition to close UK borders to stop terrorists, which will also have to be debated, so is therefore 'More wasted money by the reactionary right'

So because 100k people sign a petition it merits serious discussion in government. The government will not change their policies based on 100k people so little point wasting time debating it in Parliament.

The loser from 2008 is hardly Trump's trump card . A gift to the Democrats.... NB , I can't see him getting nominated anyway .

 

[pastafarian]

The fact that it got enough signatures and was debated is an unfortunate side effect of this whole charade. What is going through the heads of the people who sign up to it though ? My guess is that most of them couldn't really give a toss about what they were actually signing. It was just another chance to get "offended" on someone elses behalf, and join in with a populist high profile movement against a widely ridiculed American politician. A bandwagon to jump on, as you say.

Tedious.

I am sure this anti American bandwagon is not really the case, the petition to also ban Robert Fico PM of EU member state Slovakia and member of The Party Of European Socialists must be,no doubt growing at an enormous rate also.
He has talked in a similar way to Trump,wishing to have only christian refugees enter his country and not muslims as muslims are " impossible to integrate"

What figure do you expect that petition to be at now?

 

[The_Viper]

Palin will not be picked as VP by Trump if he wins, it'd be political suicide and he's really not as stupid as people say.

The only thing worse than a Trump presidency would be a Hillary one, firmly in the Bernie corner.

Surely Palin would be all for relaxing the drug laws so at least everyone could be completely off their face as the missiles fly.

Had to turn the tv over this morning when the mental bint was doing her "kick ISIS' ass!" turn and the combover tit was posturing behind her. Scary shit really despite the fact that he'll not win.

 

[maltaseagull]

Yeah, I know many who I can see nodding in an approving manner at 'kick ISIS' ass'. Genuinely quite scary.

Was she on drugs?

After 2012 which was a bumper year for loony / bizarre Republican candidates I was a bit worried that 2016 was going to be a bit of a lean year. But the GOP have surpassed themselves and come up with an outstanding selection of weirdos, losers and egomaniacs. It will all end in tears for them, but in the meantime it does make for great ‘car crash’ viewing.

Could you copy paste that? I'm intreagued as to how these three are linked.

‘Informed’ global elite places greater faith in institutions than majority

An “informed” global elite now trusts institutions significantly more than the rest of the population does, opening a trust gap that helps explain the rise of populist politicians around the world.

Faith in business, government, media and non-governmental organisations has risen to a five-year high, according to research by Edelman, the public relations consultancy, which polled 33,000 people in 28 countries.

But the improvement in trust is driven almost entirely by growing confidence among the “informed public” — a rump of college-educated, well-read and media-savvy individuals representing 15 per cent of the population.

The gap between this elite’s level of trust in institutions and that of the rest is now at its widest since the Edelman Trust Barometer first started measuring overall trust levels in 2012. Other data suggest that people continue to rely more on their peers or on “peer-influenced” sources, such as social media, than on official sources such as business or government.

“The hypothesis is that the 85 per cent have become much more self-referential: they aren’t looking outside as much as they are talking to their friends, and thereby reinforcing their own views,” said Richard Edelman, chief executive of the PR company.
The trust gulf is also stark between high-income and low-income respondents: 60 per cent of wealthier participants trusted institutions to do “the right thing”, against only 46 per cent of people on a lower income.

Mr Edelman said these trust gaps could explain phenomena such as the popularity of Donald Trump, who remains the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination in the US, strong support for Marine Le Pen’s National Front in France, and protests against everything from increased immigration to Uber, the taxi-hiring company.

A flurry of surveys always heralds the annual World Economic Forum in Davos, which begins this week. In an attempt to shame the rich and powerful that attend, the charity Oxfam will highlight figures showing that the richest 62 people in the world held the same wealth as the poorest half of the global population in 2015, equivalent to some 3.6bn people.

The charity notes that the numbers of the globe’s richest individuals needed to balance the bottom half of humanity has steadily decreased, with 388 required as recently as 2010. A key reason last year was the rise in the value of the US dollar since wealth in most other countries, when converted into dollars at market exchange rates, has fallen.

According to Edelman, the public’s trust in business has bounced back sharply since 2015, largely because confidence in financial services companies continues to improve as memories of the 2008 crisis fade. This indicates businesses have an opportunity to reduce inequality and improve their image in society, but the public remains cautious about chief executives’ ability to lead such a transformation.

For instance, 51 per cent of the people polled believe integrity is an important attribute for a chief executive, but only 27 per cent feel corporate leaders were performing well in the area of ethics, responsibility and openness.

Free stuff is whay socialists want.

Ron will put a stop to all free stuff. it's not the Government's duty to provide free delicious, mouth watering bacon.

You see, people say socialists want free stuff, but from where I'm sitting capitalism gives lots of 'free' wealth too, except not fairly distributed. I have many friends that work 2 weeks a month to pay their rent to a guy who does nothing apart from own property. How is the landlord not considered to be getting 'free' stuff in this situation? The system isn't working, whatever you may think.
