Out of here until the election is over

Out of here until the election is over

There is no purpose in posting anything on the Home Page until then.

I really don’t give a damn which of the candidates win because in each case there is a good reason for me to be unhappy about it.   A victory for Trump would affect me negatively financially due to his intention to scrap NAFTA, and a victory for Hillary would put my son and his family, who live in the USA in danger due to her wish to increase the refugee migrants by 550% which is bound due to America’s sloppy vetting to import a lot of Jihadis to America.

I will probably until then just frequent the groups, although unfortunately there is limited interest in those as well.

I’m sure some of you will say good riddance, but, as Rhett Butler said, “Frankly, I don’t give a damn.”

I’ll be back next week, because for a while I would just like to be happy.

Hillay also now claims to be against NAFTA but I think it's just another one of her lies.

I know how you feel, Buzz.  There's nothing good about this election.  I hate the fact that people think they are doing a good thing by picking what they consider to be 'the lesser of two evils'.   This is truly a scary time here in the U.S.

Don't blame anyone to take a vacation for the next week.  It's not enough to say this is a very unusual election or the worst one any of us can ever remember.  This is the event that will determine the future of this country as well as the future of the world.  We have arrived at the end of the tracks.  We have two choices, either go over the cliff or jump off.  Neither choice is a good one, but they are the only two choices we are aware of at this time.

With the FBI seemingly working on a coup of the leadership of the FBI, we can only hope it is successful.  It doesn't make any sense to those who are unable to see what has been going on in this country, but it really matters.  It is claimed political from some in respect that it is helping one candidate and hurting another one, but it is far more than that.  It is the future of this country, are we willing to allow our liberties and justice to fade into the past or is it time to expose to the masses the corruption in this administration from the top down that speaks of one thing, but has an entirely different future planned for this country.

Yikes. Sixpick is pulling for a bunch of right wing Breitbart type fanatics to take over the FBI. A current FBI agent described the FBI as "Trumpland" in a comment to a news reporter yesterday. 

 

As for the premise of the seed, the country is faced with the WORST and MOST UNQUALIFIED presidential candidate in the HISTORY of the United States. Of course it is the biggest story and even the only story right now.

Absolutely correct - Billary/Killary is, by far, the most unqualified and worst candidate EVER for POTUS.

Nice to know your interest in the future of the United States is confined to your personal financial interest.

Guess if you had any finances John, you'd be worried too, eh?

John - if you could talk/post without snark, more people might read your "stuff".

Ever since Mr Trump first rode down the escalator and announced he was running for President, I haven't been able to get the image of Plimpton's, " Paper Lion ", out of my head.

 

As Plimpton played out every child's fantasy for his stories, the process he went through proved time and time again that anyone who tries to do any of the top jobs without the requisite mental and physical tools or the proper experience can never be more than a "Paper Lion" .

 

Plimpton did his thing so he could write about the experience but I've always gotten the impression that Mr. Trump was first drawn in by the bright lights and the chance to make a buck but has now become addicted to, and addled by, the applause and adoration from what I hope to be a minority of the voters.

Watching someone being totally incompetent on the playing filed for a story is on thing but being that incompetent as the leader of the Free World!?  

Holy Macaroni, how nuts would we have to be!!!

There are a lot of nuts out there. What really is to blame is the convergence of right wing media/conspiracy theories with the speed and breadth at which fanciful information can be passed along the internet. It has made a faction of Americans no longer able to tell facts from gossip and truth from lies. To say this is tremendously dangerous for the future of the country would be an understatement.

Says the guy that used to claim the Clinton email scandal was just a right wing conspiracy theory. You're not fooling anyone around here.

Who in the rest of the world gives a fuck what we think about them yet we offer our opinions anyway.
