    Not that I fault you, however you're thinking too small. I mean total collapse. If the west falls, so will china, so will everything. The dollar is the reserve currency for a lot of countries, it's the main currency for the world. Nothing will move, for years. Billions of people will die worldwide. Hope I'm wrong, however that's probably the reality.

    A history guy I know, has a masters in it tells me that free societies usually last about 200 years. Then they get soft, allow outsiders in, just what we're doing now, they're destroyed and disappear.

    Yes. It was a stupid move in the first place. Saying they wanted to increase surveillance was the second stupid move. The left wants it too, they just didn't make it an issue.

    Don't eat that humble pie. You guys need to exit. You lost your rights as a country, you're being ruled from Brussels. That's why you have entire sections of London being take over by Muslims that have absolutely no desire to become a Britain, they have every desire to take your country over and kill you. It's in the Koran if you read it. Killing Infidels is ok, they teach that to their kids from the age of 3. It's not too late, your country could get rid of the invasion force. That's what they are by the way, invaders, not refugees. Refugees cannot return to their country or they'll be killed. We know muslims go back all the time. Here the left is bringing in invaders under the guise of refugees illegally - https://www.youtube.com/watch?... . They end up in GB too.

    Abolishing war by becoming a unified state was a good idea, didn't work out though. Leftists got in the way, just as they are getting in the way in the US.

    What he's saying is be careful. If you think you an quit your day job and become a millionaire, it won't happen. Not by itself, unless you get the redneck retirement plan - aka the lottery. Hey, someone wins. All of us are in the rat race to begin with. Wake up, work, come home, go to sleep repeat, sometimes for the rest of your life. If you want to go out on your own and quit, you have to have a team. Just like he did. You can bet he didn't do everything himself. You need a lawyer (can you do what you want to do or is it illegal? Legal advice is always cheaper than getting caught. Sometimes it can result in your arrest and incarceration (that's jail for some of us that don't know)), you need someone to handle the money (accounting), you need all kinds of people (etc). Once all of that is in place and you have the income coming in, you have money in the bank for a rainy day (6 months worth, at least), now you can quit your day job.

    Robert Kiyosaki can teach you. Read his book Rich Dad Poor Dad. Real good commentary on what happening today, though it was written a long time ago. Rich Dad - the guy that knows how things work (guys like Trump, Soros, guys like that) and Poor Dad who think they know a lot and really are clueless (socialists, most politicians in congress it seems). By the way, while Robert shows you with houses, it's not about houses. It's about business. It works if you want to do houses, cars, airplanes, commercial buildings, McDonalds, etc. Business is business. Some of these are easy, some of these can put you in the poor house fast. Especially if you don't know what you're doing.

    Why do you think that? My doc said with my age and weight I could drink up to 15 shots a week and I'd be fine. There would be no noticeable effect on my liver. The the UK, I'd think 14 shots would be small. They drink beer in pints after all. For them I'd expect 14 is moderate. In France they probably give that much to children.

    Never the less, I think even the 15 is too much. I need to drop it down or even give it up.

    Besides, that document was clearly a plant, it was clearly meant to catch someone, probably her. She was stupid enough to take the bait. She should be buried up to her chest and we should stone her to death. She likes Islam after all, so it's fitting. I'll settle for hanging her.

    No. The last President was the worst qualified. He was just a grass roots guy, propped up by the left, never voted unless it was a slam dunk, almost never was even in the Senate. He was never in business, never answered to anyone, just an agitator and someone that hates America. His last actions as President shows that very well, especially his insisting on the Israeli vote at the last minute that he went way out of his way to make sure happened.

    This guy is doing what he thinks is right and unfortunately isn't listening to his hired help. First thing I'd do is change the password to that twitter account so he can't put something out there by mistake. Set it up for two factor to my phone. Anything he wants to say - let us hear it first. Have someone competent type it in.

    Next thing is to fire his press staff. They suck. They're hold overs.

    Speaking he's doing way better than he was. In Europe a few times I even thought he might even be a real politician, then he'd screw it up. Maybe just maybe by the time he leaves office he'll actually know how to talk.

    Guess it's hard to change a 70 year old man's way.

    Not saying they should be poisoned or anything like that. Get the state to help, let people know there is a crisis, anything but poisoning the water. Even turn it off. Hard to imagine that happening in the US.

    AGW - Things are warming, not due to man. They used to walk an elephant onto the Thames - http://www.bbc.com/news/magazi... up to 200 years ago. It was already warming by then, which is pre-industrial revolution, meaning it's not CO2, meaning it's not man. CO2 is a symptom, not the cause.

No need to pay a bunch of money to a few leftists that won't do anything with the money other than take it. That's what the Paris accord was about by the way. It didn't do anything by design.

    Voodoo economics, that was a campaign comment. Not true. The US saw the largest expansion of economic wealth the world had ever seen during Reagan's term. It wasn't "trickle down", it was trickle everywhere economics. Everyone benefited from those policies.
