Wow, huge win for Boris & the Tories in the UK.

There's no stopping brexit now, or so it seems.

Looks like the Brits wanted nothing to do with Corbyn and his Bernie Sanders-like policies.

Devastating loss for liberals, worse since the 1930's. Ouch, this is gonna leave a mark.

Are you ready to join the Conservative movement with us yet? You know you want to.

 

[CharlesDavenport]

Yeah right.

 

[Steeltime]

That is certainly a big part of the outcome, but a bigger reason is that Brits absolutely despise Labour's devout open-borders policies. Hate them beyond description.

Much like Americans. Politicians who ignore that fact do so at their own peril.

I'm actually down with a lot of conservatives policies. Just hate how Trump has bastardized the right in America. I can't sign up for this amount of lying and vitriol, bowing down to Putin & the far right. But I'll side with sane, reasoned, moderate conservative politics on many issues. I know I'm the libtard boogey man around here, but I'm actually more to the middle on most issues than the flaming, far-left ideologue many of you paint me to be. Such is life, I've learned to accept it and moved on.

Never been a registered Dem. Though I did support Obama and opposed George W mainly for his mindless war in Iraq. As for Trump, that needs no explanation. But I could see myself voting Republican at some point in the future, if they ever rid themselves of this maniac and return to their roots. In other words, I'm not a partisan, pro-Democratic Party guy. I absolutely hated Hillary as a candidate.

I prefer moderate candidates like Michael Bennett, or independent Angus King. People with a backbone.

Trump is getting a boatload of grief from Washington "geniuses" because he has declared that the United States will not engage in these endless wars that somehow make a bunch of Washington bureaucrats and politicians immensely wealthy. He is ripped for taking American troops out of Syria, as if our troops there - supposed to be three months, but you know wars - would make a **** of difference.

I would vote for Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy, Joe Manchin. Your view on Trump and the effect on the (R) label? Welcome to our world. The (D) has been corrupted by vile, loathesome idiots like Maxine Waters. Sheila Jackson-Lee and newcomers like Tlaib, AOC and Omar. Disgusting maggots who hate America.

You want to know how stupid Tlaib is? She wrote this on Twitter:

Uhhh, you stupid cockroach, the SHOOTERS WERE BLACK. ******* idiot.

So the (D) brand has become poisoned with idiocy.

That plus the people keep voting to leave the EU and the politicians keep finding ways to stay or have yet another vote.

I too was frustrated with the W regime's determination to embed itself into the middle east. However you DO realize the dreadful irony of your position now? Obama was involved in more wars, for a longer duration than any American president ever. The fact is, Obama is the United States most warring president.

He not only didn't reduce middle eastern turmoil, he expanded the theater dramatically. Course he favored drone attacks over boots on sand, but nonetheless, Obama is the most violent president we've ever had.

 

[Steeltime]

He not only didn't reduce middle eastern turmoil, he expanded the theater dramatically.

But those "regime changes" in Libya, Egypt, and the attempted regime change in Syria have been such unmitigated success stories!! Just ask the Washington Post and New York Times - they assure me that Obama's foreign policy/endless wars/regime change in the Middle East were BRILLIANT!!

 

[tapeANaspirin2it]

All W did was follow the advice of the intelligence community. Now Trump is going against that and being accused of crimes because of it.

 

[tapeANaspirin2it]

I wonder if the polls over there predicted this blowout. I bet not. Why? Because PC liberal cancel culture has forced conservatives to be quiet. They either ignore pollsters or when asked, they smile and say they support the approved liberal candidate. Then they get in the voting booth and vote conservative.

Many of these people who will now vote conservative are not really conservatives. They just know that the liberals have shifted way too far and left them behind.

We've all seen the kinds of politicians you admire.

 

[IndySteel]

Polls are always heavily slanted to the left. We saw this in the 2016 election and even more so now. To this day I have never been contacted by these fake news polls. They are made up, with the sole purpose of trying to sway public opinion. If you ever see a poll showing anything positive about Trump, or him leading a candidate, you can be assured that in reality it is Much higher in his favor. ******* liars.

Truth. I received two calls about political views in the past six months and answered both the same: "I'm working. Leave me alone."

TRUMP WINS AGAIN!


Boris Johnson Secures Historic Blowout Election Win

There is no better word to describe the scale of the Conservative Party’s victory in Britain’s general election Thursday than “blowout.” This was a mauling. A drubbing. A pummeling of historic proportions and surprising depth.

Tories have won over 150 more seats than the Labour Party and are on course for a majority of around 65. To grasp just how badly Labour has performed, consider that the party’s last famous defeat, in 1983, was less substantial.

That year, Labour was led over the cliff by Michael Foot, whose hard-left election manifesto has become known as the “longest suicide note in history.” Somehow, Jeremy Corbyn has managed to outdo even that, losing not only the middle classes but a host of traditional Labour constituencies as well.

By promising to deliver Brexit, the Conservatives succeeded in wiping out Labour strongholds that have stood across Britain since the 1930s, securing as many as 368 seats and giving Johnson a majority in the House of Commons of around 76 seats.

Speaking before dawn on Friday, Johnson exclaimed: "We’ve done it. We pulled it off!”

“This election means that getting Brexit done is now the irrefutable, irresistible, unarguable decision of the British people.”

Trump congratulates UK's Johnson after historic wins, hints at new trade deal

"Congratulations to Boris Johnson on his great WIN! Britain and the United States will now be free to strike a massive new Trade Deal after BREXIT," Trump said. "This deal has the potential to be far bigger and more lucrative than any deal that could be made with the E.U. Celebrate Boris!"

Tibs will be here shortly to pontificate about how the Proud Boys, who stand up to those *******, are white nazi nationalist racists, founded by a Hispanic guy.

 

[Spike]

Boris had one campaign message, "Get Brexit Done"

Congrats to the Brits for standing up against globalism and the EU

Biggest Labour defeat since the 1930s!

LOL, no wonder the Marxists are screaming their heads off

just in case those typical liberal voters who reluctantly voted conservative to stop the madness had any second thoughts that they did the right thing, antifa shows up to reassure them.

Very proud of my fellow conservatives in the U.K. today. Stand up against being shamed into believing something you don't feel in your heart if you know it is good.

The left is the "shame" party. The twitter party. The urban, "I'm better than you party". The smug, know-it-all, that doesn't even have time to vote party.

And this morning they wake up the loser party.

And I'm sure they will "RESIST" in Britain, just like they will "RESIST" on November 4th, 2020.

2016 all over again?


Boris Johnson's triumph proves democracy-denying radical socialists backed by self-righteous celebrities on Twitter are electoral poison

Like the Democrats when Hillary ran, Remainers enlisted the very vocal support of Hollywood luvvies to fight their cause.

Hollywood actors Hugh Grant and Steve Coogan led the way, backed up by the likes of grime artist Stormzy and pop singer Lily Allen.

Grant, who seemed to forget that playing a fictitious Prime Minister in Love Actually is not a qualification to be a real politician, spent weeks marching around ordering people not to vote for Johnson or the Conservatives because they had the audacity to want to act on the democratic will of the people.

'I don't want to sound dramatic,' he said, dramatically, 'but I really think we're facing a national emergency.'

The absurdly affected arrogant and pompous twerp believed he was the one to save us all from ourselves.

Instead, Britons responded exactly how I assumed they would to a jumped-up hectoring thespian trying to destroy democracy - and voted against everyone he supported.

There was a wonderful photo taken in a West London restaurant of the precise moment multi-millionaire Grant read the devastating (for him) 10pm exit poll on his cell-phone and his head sunk in abject disbelief.

Liberal Twitter was thus shocked when Trump won, stunned when Brexit happened, and is frothing at the mouth again now Boris Johnson's pulled off a huge success.

It was so blinded to the infallibility of its own beliefs that it never saw any of this coming.

Like the Trump-hating liberal celebrities who so raucously endorsed Hillary, he was hit by a sudden thunderbolt of reality that his views are not shared by most actual real people.

If people think Boris Johnson's earthquake was big, just wait until the Senate acquits President Trump and he uses that victory to storm to re-election.
