Well done Trump!
I guess our northern brothers and sisters didn’t smash enough coconuts for Killary!

@ Words
Foreign policy is being decided by experts not by US President and change according to the events .
Don’t come for quick decision .
The fate of this country will be decided either by USA or China soon.
Don’t jump too much.
But Mullahs..Mowlavies..Imams Mufties ..will have sleepless nights hereafter .
Cheers

“Well done Trump!”
Thank the Flawed American Electoral System.
Got 59,041,250 votes , 47.5% of the votes and 289 Electoral College Votes, Compared to Clinton 59,177,303 votes, 47.6% of the Votes and 218 Electoral College Votes.
So, the American Voters are Cheated again, like George Bush in 2000, due to the flawed system.
So, more American did not want Trump as President. Is this Democracy, or a flawed Democracy due to historical reasons?
In Sri Lanka, France etc., it is the Popular Vote that matters. It is Democracy.

When Tamils began to hang on to Hilary We could be sure, that She is going to lose.
Anything ship that Tamils hang definitely sink.

Ignorance at its best again.
Tamils were supporting Obama two times in a row and Sri Sena in Sri Lanka. those ships didnt sink on their elections. The forum would be most boring without Jim’s ignorant comments.

There is a truth for what jim is saying. Hillary got money from Tamils at the last unsuccessful primary run against Obama.

The old Muppet of Srilanka has congratulated the new Muppet , the SL news says!!
I don’t understand why the deposed and disgraced past leader jumps in front to congratulate or commiserate !!
Who does he think he is?? He’s nobody now !!
Just making himself important while he lives in his delusional Paranoia Stupor.
Still glorifying in his past blunders.
Rest man Rest!! Remember you’re Nobody to any one other than your Crook friends.

A large chunk of the dumb Sri Lankan electorate is jubilant right now. So shallow you can be.
Busy celebrating Vagina Grabbers unexpected rise to power. With access to a massive nuclear arsenal. You do not care. Your ethnic pettiness is bigger than that.
Sinhala and Tamil stupidity will die a sudden death the day Trump nukes one or two places around the world. To show you fools, who the boss is.
Your bottomless narrow-mindedness will assure your demise.
My fellow Sri Lankans, enjoy the ride, while it lasts. Before that new clown in Washington nukes your sorry bottoms to bits. In the near future.
Cheers!
PS:
This is no ringing endorsement of Hilz!
Oh what a shame Bernie! DNC stole the nomination from you. You would have burned the Vagina Grabber alive.

Now that Trump is President he won’t go easy on the Rajapaksas like Obama or Clinton. US will crush the Rajapaksas and make they pay for their crimes and be forced to return the looted money to Sri Lanka…

You need to be smarter than that. Trump is a strong anti-terror leader. He hates terrorism that destroy economies. His number one agenda is to destroy ISIS and bankrupt countries that promote terrorism around the world. Better chances of him admiring MR for what he did.
/
AVB / November 10, 2016
Trump could be anti-state-terror too.. Actually he wouldn’t care about either in economically insignificant country like SL.
However, SL international school boom and “English Medium ChildCare” boom will be over soon. Because Trump Effect will be propagated to rest of the West soon. All the migration loop holes will be cemented.. That is the best outcome from this election for SL..

He is anti state Terror???
He is instigating protests against the state by hateful speech against minorities. Already some racists are attacking minorities. This can lead to anti Trump regime terrorism? What do you think he will do for this with his power? Anything different from MR did in Sri lanka??

During president Jorge Bushs time Saddam Hussein went down for supposedly having weapons of mass destruction.
Now during Donald Trumps time Rajapaksas might disappear for something similar!?
Maybe selling weapons to international terrorists!?

This can also be the destiny for our miserable country. Who thought this bugger with zero knoweldge in politics would ever have been the winner.
Germany is shocked as no other today, since over 80% of the nation believed Hillary to be the winner.
We a country filled with Maxes and Sumanasekaras and all other idiots too should be very cautious that Meeharaka would be back soon, if the message woudl not be passed to the ground level of the country.
Having watched last night Santana, I felt myself, much is done by the current regime, but they have not marketed it … or Media men working for biased agendas have destroyed it in order masses being not well informed.

You the kind of folks in the country continue to support idiots like Rajaakshes, will make no good to this land much. So, no doubt, we will have to march through an era the manner most studipiest republican – Bush junior deteriorated it. Even worst of Bush days would be the case, if the bugger Trump would not listen to the world as promised in his election rallies. With his sex model wife, surely, the world will be led to a red light area.

Muslims can not tolerate a Buddhist statue in east!

Reactions
We must change the demography of east and make sinhalese majority their.
We must create sinhalese enclavements in north,
Every military camp to a small sinhalese village, build a temple, stupa,
We must convert low caste Tamils to Buddhism.

“We must convert low caste Tamils to Buddhism”
Para-Sinhala had 2,300 years to convert the “low” cast and “high” caste Para-Tamils to Sinhala “Buddhism”, but failed. Even Buddhahosa came from Tamil Nadu-Bharat to do that. Failed. Why?
Because Sinhala “Buddhism’ is not Pristine Buddhism.
Sinhala “Buddhism” prays to statues, Trees, Monks, Politicians, crooks, rapists, and killers.
Sinhala “Buddhism” does not get the believer to attain Nibbana or Nirvana, and believes in Mahawamsa, that is an insult to the Buddha.
Mahavamsa- An Insult To The Buddha!
By Sharmini Serasinghe –
Caution- The following is more suitable for the broad-minded and the wise. Others are kindly advised to pass!
Wonder if ours might have been a wiser, and a more ‘humane’ society, had our ‘ancient’ history, been based on Aesop’s Fables, instead of the Mahavamsa. For if not for the Mahavamsa, the Sinhalese may not have been endowed, with the reputation, of “Sinhalaya Modaya (The Sinhalese are Fools)”!

Not Bayyas but nationalists are on a rise in the States today than had never been before.
They simply dont like blacks and migrants
Even after almost a century since the black riots in that country, yet today, whites are very against the blacks. Most regions filled with blacks are the areas that live under poverty levels. Americans travel to Germany see the country as a paradise and US will never be able to reach the levels. Sure the rich will become richer while the poor and middle class will have no chance to raise their heads in today s america. WIth their huge loans made to China and the dollar fall will not give them positive predictions either. America will sink under the lead of an illiterate to global politics. That we will see.. for sure. He is radical… as no other even going beyond the levels of that MOST ABUSIVE OF ALL – BUsh Junior.

In TERMS of GERMANY; It can be wrong. Right at the moment, Germany grand coalition has more power to the party of CDU/CSU which is more or less similar to the nature of US Republican. If Germany to change – that will be to SPD – more or less similar to US Democrats. So, if you think that Germany would ever support Donald Trump there you should be mad – over 80% of germans wanted Hillary to win.
This again proves your knowledge about world politics, Trump is an another idiotic leader who is no second to Bush Junior. Bush Junior and his politics as you know NO good for any one but US republicans. Germany as leading nation in Europe would never bend to Trump the like anti-migrant leaders.

It is foolish to expect a change of policy on Srilanka by this change of administration. As long as the present government which is US friendly is in power, US will soft peddle all issues not to embarrass Srilanka. But moment a US hostile government assumes power then it will be different. US is not happy about Chinese involvement in Srilanka and will support any move by India to counter it, without getting directly involved. US President cannot go against American establishment who decide on policy matters. If Trump tries to stand up against the system, however noble his vision is and beneficial for peace, he may have to pay the price for it.
/
pro-American / November 9, 2016
There will not be a huge change in the American foreign policy. If Trump tries to stand up against the American system they will impeach him. All what he was saying was just for the election campaign, to win the election and that’s it. Nothing is going to change. Hillary Clinton was the secretary of state for the last several years, she did not do anything adverse to Sri Lanka. Even if she had become the President, it would have been the same because the SL government is pro-American.

Yahapalanaya / November 9, 2016
Felt this was coming however much the liberal media, wall street (People like RW buddy Soros etc.) funded by the corporations (and Jewish mafia) tried to convey an easy victory for HC. US is still not ready for a female president. Shows how deeply sexist and racists Americans could be. Majority of Americans (and also Baiyyas) are fed up with politicians and broken promises. It is understood that the Obama’s universal healthcare system has increased the medical cost further. There can be educated and qualified people among the Trumps voters. This reminds me of the something I overheard working for corporation few years back. My boss was a second generation well educated middle aged gentleman coming from republican family from a southern state Boss’s son was attending a leading university in a southern states about to graduate as an engineer. One day the boss was talking to one of his former college buddy’s whom he haven’t met for ages and when the topic turn to the children my boss started talking about his son and that the son or his friends don’t like Indians as most the technical jobs in US are gradually taken by them. My boss didn’t know that I was seated in the adjoining cubical. I have nothing against him (boss) as he always treated me really well. Never judge an American just by talking to him or her.
Jobs and manufacturing has left (Taken away) US in the name of being competitive. Today very few American whites can get employed in the IT industry as Indian companies are importing thousands of cheap labour to work in IT and also outsourcing. The working conditions (24/7) at these places are terrible with no respect to humans, lay offs and change of ownership is very common. These Indian companies manipulate the skilled visa (H1) system, cook the resumes and qualifications to get unqualified people to US. I knew of an Art graduate from India who came to US on a H1B visa (meant for skilled professionals) to work as an IT engineer. People are aware of this.

Spiritual Man / November 9, 2016
Can idols of Hindu Gods or Buddha do anything in this world ? Nothing. Mahinda Rajapakse smashed 100,000 coconuts to bring down the Yahapalanaya government but nothing happened.
Smashing coconuts to idols of any religion is nonsense because idols are made by man, of clay, have no life and cannot speak. Politicising it is a mentally deranged matter.
There is something more important than idoltry here. Donald Trump has won a landslide victory.
In his victory speech, he has said that he will work with nations that will work with the USA.
SL does not know to work with the US.
This, we see from the comments of visiting White House officials, about the lack of seriousness, in implementing the UNHRC resolution, sponsored by the US in 2015 and agrred by SL.
Factually, SL does not work with the US.
Donald Trump fears God. His prayer team prayed for his victory. Heis for justice, equality and dignity. God has made him the president miraculously to do justice, love kidness and walk humbly with Him.
SL will have a tough time with Donald Trump as the President of the US, unless the government puts things right.
We shall see problems for SL

Mallaiyuran / November 9, 2016
It was a gloomy might globally.
MI, PA, VA, WI, NC who were ensuring the victory turned Hillary down. Blaming pollster is not the purpose. This is what America wanted. It has to be accepted to deal the new problems expected to abloom. When America had selected Jr. Bush team, Bush team blamed LTTE as have selected Old Royals. After Clinton had rebuilt from the economic damages caused by Sr. Bush with Iraq war they elected Junior Bush. Once again after Obama has rebuilt America, this has happened. Trump wants trade war while fighting Middle East with American troops.
At one time Dow future was down more than 800 points. Somewhere in May, 2018 Dow touched 6000. All three motor car firms and all banks were bankrupt when Bush was leaving. Entire world’s stock market showing is how this will be felt in the future.
The white extremist police officers shooting blacks and Aava Kzhulu blacks returning it certainly played a role in this secret boiling not showing out in polls.
Regan called “MR.Gorbachev bring down this wall” for East Germany. From Regan’s party, now, America has selected Trump who is saying “I will build a good wall”.
It is not about the wall of Mexico. It is the thinking of if there is melanoma on the skin taking a blade and cutting it off has erased it off. In 1948 the Lankawe thought deporting the Tamil will solve their employment problem.
The anti-American sector of the IC community opposed Hillary and have help Trump to come.
The “English Whites” are moving away from IC. Britain pulled off from EU. Australia is following same policies for some time. Now America is building its wall to remain apart from the world.

Congratulations Mr. Donald Trump and you will be great President and there will be others to follow you in other great countries like Sri Lanka in the near future. Thank you for giving us hope.
I have stopped commenting in this blog for more than one month, but how can I restrain my happiness and express my overjoyed feelings about the historic win of Mr. Trump over the traditional politicians in the USA.
I was able to predict in a response to a nasty article written by one Mr. Ratwatte, a resident of the USA in this news blog. I predicted Mr. Trump’s win on 21st September and reiterated the reasoning in the following comment on September 24th 2016 in this blog.
““September 24th – Washington Post
Nobody knows for certain who will win on Nov. 8 — but one man is pretty sure: Professor Allan Lichtman, who has correctly predicted every presidential election since 1984”
I am very happy to see this news as I viewed Mr. Donald Trump as the winner at the outset of the presidential campaign, and shared my thoughts with you on 21st September in this blog.
But I am reminded of that popular proverb used in America; “It ain’t over till the fat lady sings”
You spoke about ramifications. Yes; ramification on psyche of Sri Lankans, especially the Sinhala Buddhists in Sri Lanka- Though the dubious political leadership denies and continue to ignore the reality, the Sinhala –Buddhists are attacked in their own motherland from many directions. Our identity (Sinhala) is challenged and disputed, our roots and origin are ridiculed, our religion demeaned, our Buddhist sacred places are desecrated, our Buddhist monks are ridiculed publicly and attacked, our young women are humiliated and cajoled to marry undesirables, our lands are being acquired through sophisticated network of ill gotten funds, our lives have been equated to money/profits earned from us, Our school children are systematically introduced to drugs and narcotics , our security force personnel are humiliated , we the Sinhala people cannot freely choose a place to live within our motherland and the list goes on.
Today all the above injustices inflicted on the majority Sinhala-Buddhists are taking place under the very nose of leaders of the “Power Sharing Government”. Some of these issues or challenges are similar to what the majority American whites are facing. We the Sinhala-Buddhists have been duped by the traditional politicians for too long, in fact from 1953. – Our majority Sinhala-Buddhist voter base has been kept always divided by the politicians under different ruses; be it Dharmista palanya, Mahinda Chinthanaya or Yahapalanaya. Motives behind these catch phrases were/are the same and they are very insincere.
So we should be able to learn a good lesson from Mr. Donald Trump if he becomes the 45th President of USA. In my opinion he should be the winner mainly because he does not think like the traditional politicians , he is a good strategist.””—–
November 9th 2016.
Every politician in Sri Lanka today including the President, Prime Minister, others aspiring and scheming to make presidents; MARA , Chandrika (a friend of Clinton) and every Chauvinist Politicians from Muslim, Hindu, Christian origins are devastated and perhaps shaken with the results of the American Presidential Elections. No exception, every politician in Sri Lanka, LTTE , Tamil Diaspora and every Muslim man, woman and child were waiting to celebrate Clinton’s victory. Too bad fellows; it is not your day.
The time has come SINHALA BUDDHIST majority to make SRI LANKA GREAT AGAIN. There are so many lessons to learn from President Elect Donald Trump.
I said on 24th September ; “It ain’t over till the fat lady sings” .
Now, my dear fellows who would like to bring golden era once again to our beloved Country Sri Lanka enjoy and be happy “THE FAT LADY HAS SUNG”.
Ranbandu

Ranbandu the comedien has spoken. The fat lady will be singing soon for his utter meaningless write up. Where were you for the last six decades Sinhala Buddhist Trumpeter??
Haven’t you finished singing for your supper yet??
Your Sinhala Buddhist Patriotic Past and Present Leaders were raping the country of all its wealth since the Independence were you in Mahiyangana jungle eating Manioc and Punnakku??
Think before you write nonsense. Trump is not going to listen to all your LIES , The world is changing and Trump has GUIDLINES TO FOLLOW.
HE IS NOT GOING TO COME AND DESTROY THE MINORITY OF SRILANKA JUST FOR THE REASON PEOPLE LIKE YOU CONTINUE TO LIVE IN DENIAL. YOUR FABRICATED GAATHA S ARE NOT GOING TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY.!!
There are still charges against SL are brewing . Lies over Lies only wasting time to satisfy ones own narrow minded vision. Fantasies are just imaginary ones dreams.
Need to think clearly and intelligently ! Trump has magnanimous jobs to do Nationally , they have their own problems to solve , that’s the promise he made to his people to clean his own backyard, that is the reason he was voted by the Americans. Remember that.
Massacring the minorities of the world is not Trumps policy nor the policies of the world powers.

Ranbandu “The time has come SINHALA BUDDHIST majority to make SRI LANKA GREAT AGAIN”

“The time has come SINHALA BUDDHIST majority to make SRI LANKA GREAT AGAIN.”
Sri Lanka was Great when the British were leaving. In 1948, the British handed over the entire country to the Sinhala Buddhist majority with the second highest GNP per capita in Asia. What did the Sinhala Buddhist majority do to the country? They completely ruined it. Where is Sri Lanka today?
Today, the economy (earnings) of our country depends mainly on slave trade, exporting the Sri Lankan women (mostly Sinhalese) as House Maids, Janitors/Cleaners and Nannies to the Arab world, selling them for just a few hundred US dollars a month, to be exploited, abused, raped and humiliated.
Giving Sri Lanka to the Sinhala Buddhist majority was like giving a beautiful garland to the monkeys.

Mad lunatic person, 50% of your so called Sinhalese Buddhists are descended from low caste Indian Tamil indentured/slave labour that was imported into the island by the Portuguese and Dutch colonials to work in the huge cinnamon estates and do other menial jobs down south and also to increase the Catholic population during the Portuguese era. Therefor they imported hundreds of thousands of converted low caste Tamil Catholics from Thoothukudi area and settled them along the western and southern littorals. They all gradually became Sinhalese Buddhists and some remained Catholic. Many of their descendants,especially one called Jenali Borukiyanage goes around ranting like you at the Sinhalese extremist site, Lankaweb.
The rest of the so called Sinhalese Buddhists are a mixture of indigenous Dravidian Tamil speaking Naga and Yakka who converted to Buddhism around 2300 years ago and other immigrants from India, largely from the Tamil country and some further north, who migrated to the island as immigrants, invaders, rulers ETC from ancient to modern times. This is the reason the genetic make up of the Sinhalese is basically Tamil.
You were only a majority in the south west and central parts of the island. The north east and the north west coast of the island had always been Tamil throughout history and never Sinhalese. They had lived their and ruled their lands until European colonisation. Very rarely Sinhalese have ruled the Tamil parts of the island but Tamils and Tamil origin dynasties and aristocracy have ruled the Sinhalese Buddhists for centuries and built many Buddhist places of worship and cities Eg. Polonarruwa the Kandy Lake ETC. When the European arrived the so called Sinhalese kingdoms were ruled by kings belonging to Tamil dynasties. It was the British who for their own convenience united the Tamil parts of the island that had remained separate throughout history with the Sinhalese south and made the Sinhalese a majority in the whole island and the Eelam Tamil nation who were a 100% majority in their land a minority in the island and created this problem.
Stop ranting like a mad man and misquoting history. Sinhalese majority being discriminated and in peril! It is the Sinhalese who are committing genocide and war crimes on everyone else. The Tamils and now the Muslims. Stealing their lands settling Sinhalese in Tamil areas destroying Hindu temples and building Buddhist temples everywhere. The Sinhalese were only 66% at the time of independence now 75%. The Tamils 26% now 15%-16%. Both the North and east were overwhelmingly Tamil 60 years ago with the Sinhalese below 1% in the north and around 5% the most in the east. Now Tamils in the east are only 40% and the Sinhalese 23% and still increasing and this man is ranting about an imagined genocide of his people whilst committing genocide on others

I really didn’t want Clintons back in White House, to use it as a whorehouse
It is indeed a shame that the Americans have to choose between a devil and a deep sea.
And they decided on the untested Trump card!
Trump will not be able to deliver on any of his promises in one term.
The very establishment he attacked will rein in him
What did Obama deliver in 8 years?
a limping Obama care?
Obama has left USA weaker in the world stage , weaker economically and socially and racially divided country.
No doubt that he cut a young and dashing President and a stimulating speaker.
But as they say:
Give Obama a problem and he will make a great speech about it.
He delivered little else.

“Obama has left USA weaker in the world stage , weaker economically and socially and racially divided country.”
Paul Kennedy (historian) in his well-received book ” The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers” attributed this to the “law of imperial overstretch”.
Nothing new, weakening of empires happens all the time.

There is one thing for Trump (compared to Obama). He owes no favors, establishment or the multinationals.
Now he will have to fight his own party in Senate and Congress, if he really wants to enact his campaign promises.

He owes no favors is a myth. That is how he made us believe at the beginning. He not only used money from his circle of donors but also from the GOP which the bulk come from all kinds of interest groups and various super PACs.

Ignorance is bliss. It is so easy for us to live here and make inane comments about things we know zero about.
Here is list of some accomplishments by Obama. He took over two+ wars and a recession from Bush, and turned it around, and above all The economy has added more than 9 million jobs, and the jobless rate has dropped to below the historical median. Obama has made many mistakes, but he inherited a a recession and turned things around. Give the man some credit. As for his speeches, they are indeed wonderful, uniting, lifting people up, and not tearing them down. Something the next President sadly lacks.

>unemployment is down to 4.9% and there has
>been 73 months of steady job growth
The power of just a number without considering how it is calculated. The 4.9% is without taking into account the 93 million no longer looking for jobs. U6 is a better indicator,which is 9.5 at the moment. However even U6 does not take into account those who are no longer looking for work.
So if you consider those who are no longer looking for work, its over 28% (93million/325 million)
The labor force participation rate came in at 62.8 percent. Thats 37.2% unemployed http://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS11300000

You are trying to compare apples and oranges. Obama era calculations which are done under a “flawed” method are compared with other presidential era calculations which are also “flawed”, but under Obama appear to have improved. If you are trying to shoot down Obama with your “new” method of calculation you should do the same calculations for the other presidents too.

The Lumpen elements have won; But my guess is that it will be short lived; This is interesting Lumpens in Srilanka may be like say Wimal Weerawansa,but the Lumpens in USA,who elected Trump,are a different kettle of fish! The experience and credentials of Trump may not see him through,in the Presidency,for the full term; This reminds me of Richard Nixon!

Many American people were foolish enough to put their hatred for Hillary Clinton before any common sense.
I see that in some remarks here too. Hillary was a flawed candidate, but she is the lesser of the two evils, and there is no doubt that a Trump candidacy would be disastrous not only for the US, but the consequences of his anti world policies would be felt even in our country. He will have no love for brown skinned Sri Lankans, and his supporters are white supremacists like the KKK and extreme right wingers, who think colored people are of no significance, and that non Christians have no place in the US. He is a egoistic, loudmouthed jackass, who has offended people of color and other religions, and mocked the disabled. Sri Lankans who think this is acceptable, think again. He does NOT want to give aid to other nations. Haven’t we been recipients of USAID for years?
He is backed by hateful groups who are racists, and attack anyone who disagrees with them. He will be worse than George Bush, and economists are already predicting a recession. Trump will the downfall of the US, but remember since global economy is all linked to the US, the effects of the failed policies will be terrible for the entire world.

For Donald Trump, every Sri Lankan is a Brown skinned Nigger from South Asia.
