The Next US President

Such a loud big mouth too.

Had to turn it off withing about a second or two.

Feel as if I've suffered irreprable ear damage. :eek:
 
We have 4 years ahead of the billionaires lording it.
Lucky us.
Will they be trillionaires by 2020 ?
 
Trump wants to cut taxes and the deficit.
It's either one or the other. How is he going to cut the deficit while raising less money ? The tooth fairy ?

Easy. Eliminate welfare, social security, Medicare and Medicaid to start. Privatize the schools and prisons. Ban unionization. That's a start.

Brush up on your Dickens.

I can see now the plea of " God help America." Especially if you are poor or sick. Across the pond we managed to bring our wealthy to an understanding now it's your turn over there.

Won't make any difference. Politicians will just gobble up the savings.

They did that here in our local councils. They laid off 16 low level personnel earning 15K p/a and then gave the Finance Officer 175K bonus for making a net saving of 65K.

It's called enhanced capitalism as now we have 4 people doing the work of 20 which means productivity goes up and because more people are competing for less work we can keep the wages of the remaining 4 where they belong.

Which was my point. The money is "saved". However, it goes to the oligarchs and plutocrats, not to anyone in the working class.

Welcome to the world of neofeudalism.
 
The left are just making fools of themselves and the public sees it. They obviously haven't learned from the election results. How can they expect to gain any congressional seats back...or the presidency? The longer they keep this up the worse it gets for them.

It will all die down eventually Pete. We have had months of the same nonsense over here re Brexit.
 
the americans say the russians hacked them
the russians said we did not
then a russian ambassador is dead...... the operation wouldn't be so great without some middle eastern man yelling allahu akbar
The muslims now on their knees are blamed for spygames between the east and west. To think they were once the most advanced civilization on earth
 
I think this is the last straw, the russians have been poked numerous times since 2014.....this may cause total chaos.
So this is #3 major public humiliation on the russian state.....third time putin has had to make a decision, if we continue on this trajectory we'll need to start investing in batteries and hazmat gear

That's what everyone said about the Republicans from 2008 onward, and here we are :)

“Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty; power is ever stealing from the many to the few. The manna of popular liberty must be gathered each day or it is rotten. The living sap of today outgrows the dead rind of yesterday. The hand entrusted with power becomes, either form human depravity or esprit de corps, the necessary enemy of the people. Only by continued oversight can the democrat in office be prevented from hardening into a despot; only by unintermitted agitation can a people be sufficiently awake to principle not to let liberty be smothered in material prosperity.”

--Wendell Phillips, 1852
