Hilarious! Trump having problems finding artists.

Trump won't have as many people at his inauguration as Obama because all the Trump supporters will be at work!

Well done.

Yea they'll be at work because of Obama. but once Trump gets in there things might change very quickly.

"It's the economy, stupid".  Some truths will never change, ever, or at least until our beloved World undergoes a runaway greenhouse effect.

P.S. Not sure if that environmental meltdown, sure to be fatal, will even matter to the current candidates for office at that time.

Tazzy, you are factually incorrect. There are two extremes in America.

Yes the far right republicans and the hard right democrats.

Yes there may be a few genuine trots in the US, but they've less political clout than a dead gnat.

Not sure if you are joking or you made a typo but the "hard right" Democrats aren't the extremists, the leftist ones are.

In what way compared to the far right? The last time I witnessed hurtful leftists extremism was in the 70ies when they provided the terrorists. Going by the German example having a populous right and a populous leftzt, the left is still less harmfull since it doesn't target entire groups as being inferior. It targets the capitalist system in an unrealistic way. But that's about all there is.

The far right on the other hand survives and thrives on scapegoating and fear mongering, which I consider to be the far more dangerous approach. Both usually have in common that they have no serious economic, educational or political concepts outside their populous talking points.

Currently this is the kind of stuff characterised as far left (including by a lot on here trying to establish a false equivalency of extremes in US and UK politics, mainly because they don't want to see how fucked up their ruling systems are*):
Universal heathcare
Non-profit state public transport
Half way effective financial regulation
Employees union rights
Regulations designed to protect the environment

Forty years ago these things were largely non controversial outside the political far right and hard right, because most politicians lived through the consequences of not doing them and were not so easily bought.

*Not saying other parliamentary systems are less fucked up, but most people in, say, Ireland recognise that the parties in their country are very much pn ther right.

You must have missed this:

And yes, I'm not defining "extreme" in terms of position on the political spectrum, but rather, in terms of a zealotry that renders a person immune to reason. And both sides have dickweeds of that ilk, your protestation notwithstanding.

And truth be told, given the fact that you've never been here, I don't regard your commentary on the American political scene as terribly useful anyway -- screed possessed of more heat than light, as it were.

Where are they, lol?  

Our "leftists" are the rest of the worlds center right.

I heard of leftist democrats, but hard right democrats? Had to be a joke.
