Buy Greenland. OK. Sure. Let's do that. 🙄🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Lweji · 16/08/2019 15:04

I think both Greenland and Alaska should be bought by Canada. Trudeau is missing a trick there.

This is a perfect metaphor--a Trump supporter who tries to stop protesters at the MAGA rally gets insulted by Trump (who thinks that his defender is an agitator).

''“That guy’s got a serious weight problem,” Trump said. “Go home. Start exercising. Get him out of here.”

“Got a bigger problem than I do!” he added. “Got a bigger problem than all of us. Now he goes home and his mom says, 'What the hell have you just done?'"'

Roussette · 16/08/2019 17:20

Apparently the guy he called fat was a Trump supporter and Trump rang him and left a message on his ansaphone apologising. Yeah yeah....

This is just disgusting..

'The United States has moved to allow hunters to import big-game trophies, including elephant tusks and lion hides, acquired in certain African countries with approvals granted on an individual basis.

Just because his ghastly sons like to shoot big game. Yuk yuk yuk

Ethnonationalism (which also has lots of other names).

I think about those hideous trophy shots whenever I see one of the Trump offspring (excepting the lad).

From the article...

It is a sign of how low we have fallen as a nation that “rational” and “not compromised by an enemy” are now my only two requirements for the office of the president of the United States. Perhaps years of peace and prosperity have made us forget the terrifying responsibilities that attend the presidency, including the stewardship of enough nuclear weapons to blow the Northern Hemisphere to smithereens.

As long as the Democrats can provide someone who can pass these simple tests, their nominee has my vote.

'“The Fake News Media is doing everything they can to crash the economy because they think that will be bad for me and my re-election,” Mr Trump said.'

I'd love to know how the Media is tanking the economy. Weird.

The economy is catching up with stupid, it seems. I just hope it doesn't go full recession. The signs have been there for a while.

AcrossthePond55 · 17/08/2019 17:43

I think we ARE headed for a full recession, if not a full blown economic depression.

DH and I had put off downsizing into a condo/townhouse. The way things are going I think I'm glad we did. We've got room to grow our own, a pasture for a cow, a pig pen (needing work!) and room to rent out 'allotments' to others. Yikes! I'm really prepping now!

Lweji · 17/08/2019 18:09

I'm afraid you're right.

cozietoesie · 17/08/2019 18:41

I disagree. The economy is strong.

However, I have a great deal of time for your approach, Across. Just get the stock at an early stage while you have a choice.

AcrossthePond55 · 17/08/2019 20:47

Great minds, cozie, DH said the same thing when we were talking about it.

A country lad?

AcrossthePond55 · 18/08/2019 14:22

Not from a farming family himself cozie, but grew up in a farming/agricultural area & had lots of 'farm boy' friends. Me, I grew up in a suburb of a large West Coast city, so other than horses I knew nil about country life until we met. We've always joked about ourselves as City/Beach Girl meets Country/Mountain Boy. We've learnt a lot from each other in the last 30+ years!!

Well done to Trump.
Not only dismantling financial regulations but security regulations as well.
Make America... broken and in mourning again?
