Brexit and ramifications

[The Troll]

Stop watching Fox Troll. Please. . . .

Next thing we know you'll be voting Trump. . . 

   Don't worry Horse, I wouldn't and couldn't vote for a stupid dumbass like Donald Trump.

Doesn't make it any less true because you don't want to hear it. 

Nationalism, fear of immigrants, and racism were HUGE factors in that vote whether you like it or not.

Islam is not a race it's a religion. Do you want to live under Sharia law?

You really are fucking stupid.  Read this:

Excerpts from that article:

• Anti-immigrant leaflets saying "Leave the EU - no more Polish vermin" were put on cars near a school


• "I've spent most of the weekend talking to organizations, individuals and activists who work in the area of race hate crime, who monitor hate crime and they have shown some really disturbing early results from people being stopped in the street and saying look, we voted Leave, it's time for you to leave," she said.


• On Monday, the Muslim Council of Britain released a gallery of "100 hate incidents" it had taken from social media and called on the Home Secretary to step up security for migrants.


• Cards abusing Polish migrants in both English and Polish were left on cars and at properties around Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire, local police said.  Resident Kathleen Gaynor said she had found one on her mother's doorstep, held down with a stone.

But don't let the facts get in the way of your narrow view of things.

Even though this statement is an attempt to take the subject off into the deep weeds, I'll make this commentary toward it:

You are imparting those aspects of extremism toward a religion in an attempt to impose religious persecution upon all; ironically one of the cornerstones of the foundation of this very nation itself. (Religious freedom / freedom FROM religion).

I get that England is staunchly against anything but hard-line Christianity. It should be no surprise to anyone that has paid even a passing interest in global history. This fact was the impetus behind the founding of the United States of America.

It also seems very clear to me that there is a sector of the population in this nation attempting to do the very same here; and Trump is their chosen figurehead.

ABSOLUTELY!!  They comprise the majority of his supporters.

According to Standard & Poors, there has been $2.08 trillion wiped off global equity markets since the exit vote.   That's a bit of bad news. 

Now over $3 trillion wiped out.

Cannot wait to see what happens when the US elects a Billionaire President and effectively dooms the middle-class to extinction!

Ain't gonna' happen despite Hank's predictions.

It seems to me as if we are already DOOMED.....it gets harder and harder each year for the middle class.  I'm willing to take a chance on the NON Politician.  The Businessman.  He still has to convince congress to pass anything.  I think the American people are tired of the same old, same old.....Ever since the Clinton era, it has slowly gone down hill...the division of our country, the debt, the deficit, the decaying of America.

I can tell you the alternative to Trump is what scares the HELL out of me!....

And Locutus....I think that blue wall of yours is coming down and a new wall is going up....

Thanks to 8 years of "No" I can see why it is this way.

This is what happens when we have a lethargic, good for nothing, life time serving, "entitlement" congress! 

Serve the almighty corporate conglomerate. That is all they do.

And if Hillary gets in, we will see four to eight more years of it....

I've got news for everyone; no matter who gets in we are going to see at minimum 4 years more of this horse crap. (In fact my personal opinion is it will continue until the entity pictured to the left of this posting comes for me).

The only way out of it is to vote each and every single incumbent out of office no matter what political affiliation they claim. Over the next several election cycles.

We MUST DEMAND term limits and an end to the lifetime jobs of these lazy bastards. They do NOT represent the average American citizen and could not care less about our struggles or declining quality of life. 

And putting a billionaire into office will do nothing but make it worse. Much worse.

I agree with much of what you said and I 100% disagree with a little of what you said...and I think you probably know exactly what I am talking about...
