    So giving the finger to the establishment, and making a drastic break from all expectations and the status quo, is what you call "afraid of change"? Seems to me like they finally found their nuts.

    You forgot to add that these aren't the droids you are looking for.

    Do you get a quarter a post? Just wondering is all, because the lack of anything substantial in your posts is tell-tale sign of a paid shill.

    LOL yep, but the left will vote for the status quo Hillary because they won't come out of their safe spaces to face reality. They've been neutered so they won't be able to find theirs.

    Why do you think he paid off a corrupt politician?

    Think really really hard, now. I want you to think this is jack lalane telling you to stretch those calves!!!! We must, we must, we must improve our... umm... busts!!!!

    Are we squinching our eyes really tight? Can we now consider the reason why somebody would pay a corrupt politician money?

    Think, Ronny, think!!!!!

    Please don't derail the thread and can we please get back to discussing moving Churchill's bust 7 years ago? I think this could hold the key to explaining exactly how Obama is trying to destroy Amerika.

    It is easy for you lefty liberals to laugh at but I think you can draw a direct causal line between moving a bust of a foreigner from one room to another and Obama's purposeful campaign to destroy the USA. The signs were there if we had just looked. :flagus:

    Save 9 billion, but lose 180 billion from the stock market in one day. That seems like a great deal...

    This is actually a pretty common theme amongst the hand wringing punditocracy right now. While there may be some merit to the cautionary argument, I suspect that the opposite may happen.

    The example of what happened immediately after the vote should serve as a strong warning call to anyone who is thinking of heeding the temptation to give in to simplistic jingoism and xenophobia.

    The critics of the Brexit movement are being proven right far more quickly than anyone imagined.

    Who would support a move that would cause an immediate and dramatic drop in the value of the money in their pocket, ignite announcements of potential job cuts, cause chaos in the financial markets, and all but asure the end of a centuries old alliance?

    Trumpsters, that's who.

    Of course, Trump made a fool of himself again by standing in front of his golf course, and praising the catastrophe and saying that Scots are cheering for it, in front of a crowd that nearly universally voted AGAINST it.

    But all Trump cared about was plugging his golf course (a certain public relations disaster), and trying to attach himself to the disaster.

    I think a lot of Americans are going to look at that and say to themselves that we don't want to go there. Recklessness and stupidity are not laudable attributes in a world leader. And Trump has both in spades.

    By the time the US election comes around, the continuing fallout from the Brexit disaster will have played in the news for months, and our election will come just as England confronts a crisis of leadership in the face of the disaster.

    Brexit may be the wake up call that insures that American voters will come out and insure that the lunatics don't take over the asylum.

    I guess I must have missed something.

    After all, after 75 years of living under an interenational concensus toward unity and collaboration, the world has really, really suffered.

    There hasn't been a single war between world powers.

    The standard of living of every single person on the planet has risen (often significantly)) since 1945.

    People everywhere have more choices.

    Starvation and disease have been greatly reduced.

    The scope of industry and trade have multiplied.

    And the US has played a crucial leadership role in enabling all of that.

    So, when I see someone tell me that what we need right now is someone who will throw all that progress out the window and return to a Depression era world view of trade wars and political division, I have to wonder what they must be thinking.

    We know how the sort of jingoistic stupidity Trump and his chumps turns out.

    And it isn't good.

    If there was the slightest doubt about it, consider that only one world leader cheered for Brexit, and he has a vested interest in undermining the European community.

    As for the other wanna be king who cheered for it, the fact taht all of the predictions of Brexit's critics are coming true at a frightening pace should prove ample warning.

    I can't imagine the UK's decision to leave the EU being beneficial to Trump in any way, for the coming months we are only going to be seeing the negative economic impact of Britain leaving the union.. and if we are to see any positive economic impact, it is not going to be seen till long after the election is wrapped up.

    It is a dimwitted move for Trump to associate himself to such a decision, all people are going to take from it is his campaign supporting poor economic choices.

    The title should say "Why Brexit should scare Trump Americans judging by his recent tweet

    "Just arrived in Scotland. Place is going wild over the vote. They took their country back, just like we will take America back. No games!"

    What an idiot. Majority of Scotland voted IN! So much for Trump to be so "Scotchish"

    I would say that it is ant-Capitalism, anti-Globalization sentiment that is bubbling up.

    All the moreso, since David Cameron announced his resignation effective November.

    The scramble to find someone for the PM spot to carry out an effort that just about everyone in the Conservative Party is horrified by will be front page news at US election time.

    We'll have a front row seat at the preview of the sort of political and economic chaos that giving in to fear, ignorance and xenophobia produces.

    - - - Updated - - -

    If you want to go on about a bust from seven years ago, it's pretty obvious that you're the one trying to derail the thread.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Trump cancelled his planned stopover in Ireland when the Prime Minister announced that he would meet him on the tarmac and tell him that he's a bigot right to his face.

    - - - Updated - - -

    I guess this is the new Trumpster meme. Calling anyone who doesn't buy bigotry, fear, and ignorance a "paid shill"

    Of course, neither you, nor any of the other Trumpsters pushing this lie have one shred of evidence.

    You don't understand the stock market obviously.

    I have to laugh at the people who listened to the pollsters who were so sure the UK would vote to stay. They drove the stock market up to an all time high the day before the vote, and the next day panicked and took a loss.

    LOL, you obviously don't understand investing. If you were smart you'd have a stash of cash sitting on the side waiting for a sale like this. I'd wait a little longer though. I'd wait for the "sky is falling folks to bail". That's the difference between the poor and rich, you'll shop when the prices are at their top and they wait for a sale.

    Nope, you are openly telling us how brainwashed you are by believing other people's opinions created during an ELECTION CAMPAIGN, based upon campaign RHETORIC. You sound like this is your first election!

    Don't you know words like "bigotry" are extremely biased opinions? I'm sure you never listened carefully to any of Trump's speeches because he isn't what the MSM says he is. Trump is just not a politician much less an experienced politician, making some campaign mistakes, but that is what will get him elected, certainly when his competition can't open her mouth without lying to us.

    Brexit is already hurting the British people, and the economic pain will increase daily.

    this will scare other EU states from seceding, and will be good for Hillary's campaign

    What you have missed out on by limiting your intake of media to what the global elites feed you, is that the immigration system in the EU and the USA is not really an immigration system at all, but rather an invasion of all the countries where people immigrate to, and the invaders are dead set on changing each country that they invade into the country where they came from. It will be impossible to be able to conceive what I am talking about if your perception of reality is based entirely on what the global elites and lefty media feed you, as impossible as demonstrating that you have read and understand this sentence in your reply.

    Yep... we might have to spell it out for them....

    Western Union (WU)...United States, Mexico, Cuba, South America.

    And the bleeding heart liberals thought the borders are open because Obama and liberals have compassion ba ha ha ha... it's all about power over the people. The United States are the richest of all these countries so we'll have to pay the highest membership fee's to subsidize the poor countries like the UK and Germany.

    “fundamentally transforming the United States of America.”
    — Barack Obama, October 30, 2008


    That is why it was so important for Obama to weigh in before the Brexit vote, to threaten the Brits if they leave the UK would be at the “back of the queue”. Thank you Brits for ignoring his threat.

    Yes, you sure have. You have missed everything except what the lefty media and global elites have engineered for you. You will not be able to see outside this engineered environment if you are using the lens that the lefty media and global elites have engineered for you to use for this very purpose. I know that your reply can only be crafted from the tools that are engineered for you by the lefty media and global elites, so I already know that your reply absolutely cannot acknowledge that there is a bigger reality out there than the one you are confined to.

    I have seen you do a few rounds on the media engineer reality thread, but it does not look like you actually read enough of it to understand the boundaries that you are confined to. Here is a link if you want to load up on some ammo to lace your reply with:
