Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Here’s the obscure Constitutional clause that could sink Donald Trump’s would-be presidency
By Bill Palmer, Palmer Report, November 21, 2016

After two hundred and forty years, one might expect that every last nook and cranny of the Constitution has already been put to the test in defining fashion. But as it turns out there’s at least one Constitutional sentence that’s remained obscure because it’s never been seriously tested by any President. It’s called the Emoluments Clause, and it’s what Democrats in the Senate may be able to use to deliver a body blow Donald Trump before his would-be presidency can even take off.

Everyone who still remembers their high school civics class can probably recall the most famous portion of Article I, Section 9 of the Constitution: “No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States.” It’s the part that makes it impossible for the President to declare himself King, or to hand out royal titles as favors. But while we’re all relieved that Trump can’t legally name himself Emperor, it’s the rest of that same sentence that may matter most: “And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”

In other words, as has been laid out by CNBC in a rather convincing legal argument, the Emoluments Clause means that it’s unconstitutional for Donald Trump to be conducting personal financial business with foreign leaders while he’s meeting with them about United States foreign policy.

Donald Trump has already violated this clause at least once in the past week, when he had his daughter Ivanka – whom he has said will run his business interests while he’s in office – sit in on what was supposed to be a meeting of heads of state between himself and the Japanese Prime Minister. This is the kind of unconstitutionally illegal behavior that Congress could impeach Trump for, if the Republican majority had any conscience. But even in spite of that, Senate Democrats have the numbers to stage a filibuster in order to force the Republican majority to deal with the issue. After all, the Constitution says that Trump can only do this if Congress specifically gives him permission.

So under 25s want to be governed by EU cronies because EU holidays are convenient - Stateside they want a corrupt family to head the country. I'm at a loss which generation is more morally bankrupt - us Brit's of dam yanks.

It's the snowflake generation elrico, they know nothing else, and don't have the wit to question.

And people then scratch their heads at Diane Abbot sending her kids to private skool (there is a reason)

The children now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise.

Gentleman, I can not take credit for the eloquent phrase I just posted. That, believe it or not was uttered by none other than Socrates. Trust me when I say, humans are creatures of habit.

The young fill their hearts with passion that they will change their world, and the old fill their minds with fear of that same thought.

(Now that I can take credit for)
The point is gentlemen. No matter how much you fear the thought of 'liberals being too liberal', 'muslims stealing our taxi jobs' (although with the introduction of driverless cars you won't have to fear that much longer) and 'elites picking on the average man' rest assured you are not the first humans to go through this.
Humans are of great intelligence. Well, most of us anyway... But we always seem to follow these same cycles; Grow as a people, encourage equality and safer living, get nervous at the rate of change, destroy it all.
That cycle can be applied to anything a human does. A relationship, a project, a business, a persons rights.

And can I please say, for Christs sake the reason that the average, white working class man has suffered in the past eight years is not to do with some muslims fleeing from war torn countries. But is to do with the bankers that caused all of this. Those that knew it would happen and knew the people would bail them out. It's to do with the politicians (our leaders) who did not punish them. It's to do with this consumer driven, inflation risen, system that each and every one of us buys into.
And I am very fucking sorry to disappoint you TANKER but guess what? White British people rape, murder, steal and intimidate just as much as any other race. I implore you to put down your scrumpy, whiskey, Stella and to look beyond your timid curtain to see that we are all the same at the root.

Forget €urope, the economy and shit like that.

Lets get with the real news:
