First, please let me congratulate my American friends for a wise decision. Like most of you here, I have been looking forward to today.

Perhaps the best thing that may come from a Trump presidency is the destruction of the idea that politicians can only speak about certain things, can only talk a certain way. Perhaps Trump can set an example for the rest of those in Washington and other halls of power as he destroys politically correct speech and reminds us all that the politicians serve the people. The royalty in both parties seem to have forgotten that fact.

I would also like to add that I'm a member of a firearms forum up here with 175,000 members. Overwhelmingly supportive of President Trump and America. And when I read the comments section that follow "news" stories in our major national newspaper covering the inauguration (in fact, thinly described attacks on Trump and America with that oh so gratingly superior attitude of not just Hillary supporters but FOREIGN Hillary supporters) they are again overwhelming supportive of Trump and disgusted by the media war that's been waged against him.

I don't know how Trump will treat Canada but it's good for the world to have someone finally pushing back against the bullshit that has infected the halls of power in the Western World.

There are always "unforeseen consequences" for any action taken. I'm sure there will be some with Trump. But in the meantime....

King, who would have foreseen that the Hope and Change guy would stoke the fires of racial division in America. 8 years ago, most of us hoped he might be able to improve things. Instead, he made them significantly worse.

Who would have foreseen his kowtowing to the religious fanatics in Tehran, his impotence in the face of the boy idiot king of North Korea. Who could have imagined his stoking of the Arab spring, only to abandon those who rose up expecting help, to their hideous fates.

Who could have imagined that despite being the most destructive and useless president in any of our lives, his gaffs and shortcomings would be so papered over by a fawning press, anxious to kiss his ass at every turn.

Who'd a thunk, eh King?

Events, yes, James, not always as you described, but we may agree on the gist of it: events as unforeseen consequences often have more bearing on presidential actions, as they did on their predecessors. They all learn Congress decides, unlike parliamentary systems where PMs legislate for better or worse.

King--This afternoon I feel like a man who just served an eight year prison sentence and was finally granted parole.

Before you go to bed tonight make sure you remember to take your Geritol and Lydia Pinkhams......you'll feel better in the morning. smile

Only in the foolish parliamentary democracies that removed the selection of party leader (and thus Prime Ministers) from the MP's and put it in the hands of the party membership at large. Like Canada.

British MP's have no difficulty reigning in the stupidity of leaders who get too self important or are past their best before date.

Anyway, this is off topic. It's a great day in and for America!

All cool here, JRB. How many times have I said that I have faith in America's institutions, "which always get it right over time."

You surely haven't forgotten my prediction at the last administration change, when all hands here were weeping and wailing about losing their guns.

I said any changes could only be cosmetic ones because "Americans are in love with their guns." I'm pleased you're feeling better.
