What concerned me most during the run up to the election was the planned false reporting by the corporate media and some of the major internet sites. The election was always much closer than they were purposely misreporting, and only folks who had the opportunity to hear or read news from alternative sources that the election would be a dog fight and not a cake walk for Hillary – BU Commenter Bajan in NY

Against the the run of popular opinion Donald Trump was elected the 45th president of the United States of America. What is bodes for the world time will tell. What is reaffirms to the BU household is that the voice of the people is the voice of God.

On behalf of Barbados Underground (for what it is worth) we congratulate Donald Trump and hope he will be able to advance the cause of mankind as President of the United States.

    ac you amuse me.
    I have watched your approval and encouragement of the protest movement. It is obvious you think protesting has some effect, and is valid and justified. I don’t oppose you, because a basic freedom is to peacefully express our views

    Yet just a few days ago, when on another thread it was suggested peaceful protests around the 50th celebrations would be in order…..here is what you typed

    “The only people who are opposing the celebrations are those looking for Utopia driven by a selfcentred agenda while carrying the weight of a huge political axe to grind.
    What you nerd to do is drop that heavy weight and become doers instead of antagonist asking self what you can do for the country instead of asking what can country do for self”

    Can you imagine if the Trump supporters began a victory march (celebration) what would happen? The Cleveland Cavaliers just went to the White House as part of their victory celebrations. The Chicago Cubs held a victory gathering, reportedly attended by more than 5 million (more than voted there).

    On the one hand you support celebrations recognizing an achievement and on the other you support celebrations which oppose such victories/achievements.

    I think you should change your moniker to ac-dc, you go all ways.

    “So the swamp is keeping Donald Trump from sweeping himsrlf out to sea Now he says he will keep some of the Affordable Act intact. Well well well what a difference a day makes.
    Go protesters”

    What’s the point you are trying to make about Trump? He has been ratified by your boss man Fumble so why don’t you perform your yard-fowl duties and fall in line?

    Trump has not promised any thing more to the American electorate (and on which he will renege) than what Fumble and his bunch of liars and clowns promised the Bajan electorate of fools.

    Remember the catchy slogans of “No Layoffs of Public Sector Workers” and “No Privatization” under a DLP watch?

    Where did i say that no one should oppose or refuse to engage in the celebration of barbados 50th . i do not in any way see my criticism as one of telling people whether they should not celebrate However the election of DT have far more reaching consequences internationally and locally than a one day celebration in barbados as for certainty the constitution gives DT a period of four years on the job to be governing america initiating policies that have long lasting effect in america and the world over and for that reason given his stated recommendations to Give back america the protest should be welcomed not because he won but because of his reactionary policies like immigration and Nafta which would take america back to those good ole days of ultra extremist policies which hurt the poor and shut out the rest of the world from sharing and being a part of the economic growth and wealth which america controlled also which are essential to progress and productivity for other countries advancement economically as well as socio-enviroment working in their best interest. also added to the growing worry than Trump believes or has shown a propensity not be guided by those who have more knowledge and experienced than he but to travel a road best only known to himself

    The protesters understand psychological warfare and its negative impact on the human psyche now less than forty eight hours DT is singing a different tune and he has not started to govern and all his loud and unfettered bombas is being weaken by the sight of people shouting rejection to his governance therefore he has no other choice than to pull out his Trump card of appeasement which he has used during the campaign to woo his supporters… now the chickens are beginning to come home to roost with riots in the street and he must once again used the appeasement trump card to save his hid

    Of 22 people on Trump’s transition team, only Ben Carson is black. And Ben is a political novice. A dim bulb.
    ++++++++++
    Right you are but Ben has been a good and faithful servant and he will be rewarded, Christie seems to be on the outs after his errand boy performance when he dropped out of the Primaries. Christie ought to have known that his usefulness would be over as soon as Trump won, you ask why? Christie as a prosecutor sent a billionaire named Charles Kushner to jail for illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion and witness tampering. Kushner is also the father of Jared Kushner who happens to be Trump’s son in law, now are you going to have any love for the man who sent your father to jail? Wouldn’t you be whispering in your father in law’s ear that he should jettison Christie ASAP?

    Christie is going to be lucky to get a role as dog catcher in Trump’s Administration, the official reason will be pinned on “Bridgegate” and possible indictment.

    Trump makes the stock market great again

    It is a crowning insult to Donald Trump’s political adversaries. First they insisted that Donald Trump was not to be taken seriously. As the race tightened, they insisted that he was a threat to global peace, prosperity and stability. Then he is elected and the US stock market has the temerity to edge up instead of collapsing.

    Even for ardent NeverTrumpers, relief would be a much more fitting response than resentment. The world is at a delicate moment. The most powerful country in the world may reverse its stance on almost every important issue. If markets remain buoyant as the transition takes shape, good. It is one less thing to worry about. And strong markets stimulate confidence, which is something America could use just now.

    Markets are strange beasts, though. While they tend towards equilibrium — towards putting the right prices on things, given the information at hand — at any given point what they are doing need not make sense. Sometimes the nonsense lasts quite a while. That said, the post-election strength in stocks and accompanying decline in bond prices has a simple, compelling explanation.

    It runs as follows: Mr Trump promised strong fiscal stimulus, in the form of lower taxes and higher spending. This should stimulate growth, and the accompanying deficits that cause interest rates to rise. So, sell bonds (whose prices fall as rates rise) and buy stocks (which are valued based on future growth). Industrial stocks in particular should rise, as infrastructure spending targets them more or less directly. Banks too: as long-term interest rates rise, their lending profits rise so long as short rates are relatively stable. This is more or less what has happened.

    Everyone should hope that this story is true, and that its later chapters are as pleasant as the first. It may well be so: higher government deficits are strongly correlated with higher corporate profits (all those government dollars have to land somewhere).

    Given the enthusiasm, the story has been taken up by market pundits and participants. However, it is worth noting some of the ways the plot may thicken.

    First, if all of this is so obvious, why was it anticipated by so few people before the election? Well, remember that the market received two pieces of information after the result. Republicans retained the Senate, making Mr Trumps programme more likely to be enacted. And the only policy he articulated in his initial comments after his victory was a commitment to heavy infrastructure spending. This is precious little to go on, though. Right now, Mr Trump is providing information to the markets with an eyedropper. In a few months he will be using a fire hose. No one should be too confident of the market effect of a Trump presidency.

    forgot to mention that health care stocks will rise under Trump because he is unlikely to restrain drug price increases as energetically as the Clintons; and oil industry stocks will rise because of the removal of restrictions on fracking.

    These upward trends will be only slightly offset by declines in green energy stocks because Trump is not keen on subsidies to the solar industry.

    Trump has floated the idea of paying for some of his infrastructure projects with private capital. That would hold down the fiscal deficit and moderate expectations of future inflation.

    The stock market was doing well without Trump and it would have done just as well with Hillary just ask the Oracle of Omaha (Warren Buffet).

    The biggest mover in this recent surge was none other than Corrections Corporation of America whose stock rose 49% another company called GEO Group’s stock rose by 21%. What do these companies have in common? They are part of the private prison system in the USA, so Wall street is betting that profits from these businesses will continue to rise as long as the Republicans are in power. We used to hear of the Military Industrial Complex, it should be expanded to the Military Prison Industrial Complex since the US has the highest rate of incarceration in the world. Recently the Justice Dept. said it would stop using private prisons and Hillary announced that she was against the practice but Hillary is now a private citizen.

    The very concept of private for profit prisons should be verboten in most progressive countries as ideally socioeconomic conditions would put a damper on activities that would lead people to prison and Gov’ts would prefer to have citizens engaged in the community rather than being locked away. Private prisons have a profit motive and require clientele to remain in business, if there is a profit motive those K street lobbyists representing the private prison Corporation will be lobbying Congress for increasingly tough sentences for minor offences to keep the pipeline moving. That could explain why so many black men are in prison and why prison reform remains a pipe dream.

    Under Obama, the stock market has been driven primarily by monetary policy decisions.

    Under Trump, who is at war with Fed Reserve Chair Janet Yellen, fiscal policy will begin to affect the stock market almost as much as monetary policy.

    And if Trump can increase the rate of economic growth, with tax cuts, repatriation of corporate profits, deregulation and changes in trade policy, the stock market will rise faster than would otherwise have been the case.

    In the fullness of time all of the conspiracists and conflationists with stories of EEPROM embedded code in voting machines and superlative hackers WILL CEASE and what will happen is that the USA will go back to being what it is.

    A game show star will implement his parallel policies for (a) ensuring that he and his family benefit personally from this presidency to the max and (b) the status quo where elitist america and its mighty military machinery WILL LIVE and when I say LIVE I mean that it will PROSPER as it always has and must.

    De ole man agrees with those of you who are constantly watchful of Putin and his never changing agenda and know that DT wont sell out the USofA for EEPROM code.

    The thing is that with his IQ and that of his advisor family they cant necessarily see fomenting discontent in the structures of the US society read increasingly violent street protests with the concurrent displacement and witch-hunting of minorities that will now continue apace compliments of Donald J Trunk.

    This is what happens when you sow the wind.

    I am really not interested in nor will I continue to waste time on this “denouement” read Republican whitewash and do not believe that, barring that Electoral College issue that Maryland is pursuing, anything will come out of any and all of the lawsuits pending contra DT

    What I AM VERY MUCH INTERESTED IN and what i find pertinent to our own circumstances lies in what Bernie Sanders speak to in this article in the NY TImes

    http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/12/opinion/bernie-sanders-where-the-democrats-go-from-here.html?_r=0

    This has and continues to be the ole man’s chant regarding the total inaction of the BLP party in opposition which for me is indicative of what portends.

    How does an opposition, waiting in the offing, as they have been these 8 years, show that they have the competencies to change this malaise and abyss called the Demonic Lying Party???

    The reason Hilary lost is that she spent too mush time with Bernie and did not focus on the threat of Trump!!!

    I have said that a few times but let me translate that into the practicuum of our Bajan experience.

    What will the BLP bring to the table that shows that they have a working counter that will address our Garbage Disposal Issues?

    What does Mugabe and her Troika propose that is of such sterling ans sound content that, unlike the vapid promises of a campaign trail do not do the RETRACTIONS like Trunk is now doing with the ObamaCare Repeal??

    We need to get serious about our own governance issues going forward past the whitewash that the DLP WILL RECEIVE

    When we look towards what the infrastructural requirements of this floundering country what becomes clear is that the credentials of the BLP which is going to be relied on to take us out of this pit MUST BE IMPECCABLE!!

    De Ole Man cannot get pun dem site no more causing, wid all the hardware that the grandson put pun me machine their BLP.ORG.BB site, which is tracking all viewers, reports “Access denied. Your IP address is blacklisted. If you feel this is in error please contact your hosting provider’s abuse department…”

    But the point that i am submitting for your consideration is simply this.

    Let me use the example of Sandra Husbands at St james South as opposed to Ronnie Yearwood Innovation Expert from UK Diaspora.

    Sandra has been knocking around Barbados for years (just like Hilary was) The former has held several positions in leading private sector entities most notable of which was her post at the Small Business Association where Lynette Holder resides ad infinitum.

    What are her achievements there?

    Wunna getting the ole man drift??

    What is you claim to fame? what has you do fuh de time dat you was at de sterring wheel?

    If the answer comes back nothing but twist up you mouf and talk like if you got a frog in your throat, then what we have is another Pornville in the making.

    We need to be dispassionate about this and DEMAND THAT, EVEN NOW AS MOTTLEY IS SETTING UP HER SUCCESSION, they these politicians, start to deliver a clear pathway for us that is carved in ROCK.

    Here is a frightening proposition for the BLP to consider.

    The disenchanted electorate STILL HAS POWER THAT WUNNA DON’T UNDERSTAND.

    Just like Clinton realised, we have to power to vote (for Fumbles) OR SIMPLY NOT VOTE!!

    And therein is the greatest problem that wunna going face

    VOTER APATHY!!

    Frankly if MOTTLEY DOES NOT PUT SOMETHING SERIOUS ON THE TABLE that shows that she does in fact have serious succession plans then the outcome of this coming GENERAL ELECTION will be a severely hampered outcome with regard to the number of seats won and a de facto limp DLP government without the # of seats to make any meaningful changes.

    Bushie predicts that Chad99999 will only see the light about Trump when, like the black Trump supporter who was roughly ejected from a rally, Chad is faced with the REALITY of Trump’s agenda.

    Trump has won the election by going with the flow in the USA….as opposed to Clinton with her false optimistic “America is great” shiite…

    That ‘flow’ is racist, selfish and specifically ‘white-supremist’. This is why, no matter what other shiite Trump said or did, his 51% support was assured. All he needed was to get them to vote – and the free publicity caused by his outlandish actions and words did exactly that.

    Having won, he now has to decide how he will bridge the gap between the 37% racists, the 37% liberals, and the 26% clueless morons who comprise that country. An almost impossible task after passions have been raised to the levels that they had to be, for him to win in the first place. The result will be inevitable….. as fractions take steps to protect their interests.
    It is called civil war.

    The USA will be very familiar with the concept, ….having actively and liberally incited it across the world from South America to Asia ..in the last 60 years.

    @David November 12, 2016 at 6:24 AM re ” The bottomline is that we will have to wait to appraise performance. He cannot do any worse that Obama where racial shooting and tension was at its highest.”

    Mr Blogmaster you are a reasonable man so you will allow me to be frank and say that your remarks above are grossly unfair and shows a sad bias.

    It is insidious to compare any racial climate engendered by the Black president Barack Obama who came into power walking a tight rope of racial balance to suppress any idea that he was overly biased towards those who looked like him to Trump.

    On several occasions when he stepped out of that box to express his feelings on race positively and powerfully he was yet chastised….example when he noted painfully that Trayvon Martin could be his son; or when he ‘angrily upbraided’ the white policeman for arresting unnecessarily the Black university professor in front his own home.

    You equate Obama’s peaceful and overly accommodating temperament on race (particularly) to the incendiary, deliberately divisive tenor of Donald Trump. Really!!!

    If I may remind you and the blog that in September 1963 four lovely Black girls were blown to smithereens in their Sunday School class by racist segregationists. YET only in 2001 and 2002, just SIX years before that Black man took office were the last two of those racist cowardly scum brought to justice.

    They were in the lovely US of A protected by their brethren, voting and enjoying life. All of them surely like their KKK brother David Duke and his like minded cohorts who protected them all those years would have voted for Trump. Yah think!!!!

    So when you suggest that the man who incited and excited to the polls folks like those KKK cretins from Birmingham can do no WORST than Pres Obama re racial tolerance and tension in the US, you would excuse me for calling that ‘a tad’ ridiculous. With respect bro!

    “This guy is uninformed and lacking in judgment. How could he have risen to the top of the foreign service?”

    The same way Trump was able to rise to the top of the political shit pole.

    They say shit always float to the top. Look around you and see that truism at work; especially right in your shitty Barbados.

    Why do you think you are on the top of the BU chart?
