    Given the actions of some past winners. That prize is now
    A bit of a joke :# so I'd say he could win.

    He doesn't stand a chance.

    I saw parts of his big speech. What a political theatre! Republicans applauded everything, including stuff they would have boo-ed if a Democrat said it. The Democrats sat stone-faced (many even had costumes) and didn't clap at anything Trump said, even the things they liked. And of course Trump applauded himself :))

    I feel like this is a great time to share how to sign Trump in ASL. It brings me joy.

    Do you need a tattooed beard to do it or is that just an optional extra?

    My understanding is it is mandatory.

    I saw today the film of the MP Jacob Rees Mogg in the disturbance with some youths. I saw these youths had masks to cover their faces and one tried to punch. I know Mr Rees Mogg is the Brexit MP but he or nobody else should have to have violence like this. I think he did a service to himself to stand up to these people and face them on his own.

    The funny thing is these youths would say they are
    Fighting for their Democratic rights. Yet refuse to
    Accepted a Democratic vote, and cover their faces
    To intimate and frighten ....... Or to use another term
    They are Fascists !

    I dislike the dilution of the term "fascist". It should be used precisely. But these protesters certainly weaken open society and democracy. Just an example is their behavior during big meet-ups between international leaders. Their violent demonstrations will move these meetings to distant islands or cruise ships guarded by navies, making it impossible for peaceful activists to make their mark on these political events.

    Not really new news.

    Everybody knows that EU (and thus the german) economy gets hurt by a hard Brexit, however there is hope that parts of the market loss can be compensated within the EU.

    The lack of UK membership fees must somehow be compensated - on the earning and on the spending side.

    However, consensus is that the Brexit damage is bigger for the UK then for the EU countries.

    I have a suggestion for line breaks. This actually would be a nice poem, and you wrote it like a poem :x

    Well, here's a story for you chaps. -{

    I woke up in November from the coma after the heart surgery and the doc started asking me things. When he asked me if I can name the President of the United States I said George W. Bush, a second later I remembered it's not Bush, but Obama but couldn't recall his name.

    The doc didn't reply so I asked if I was right. And then he told me Donald Trump is President and I was thinking....what, you are doing a joke on me when I am in this state....and the next question came.

    Imagine my shock days later when I realised, that it's true! :o

    good gawd, Jason, you're like Captain America!
    (and if you cant remember, Captain America is a patriotic superhero who gets frozen in a block of ice at the end of WWII, then in the comics he is revived 20 years later. In the movies he is revived 60 years later!)

    I see the Dow Jones has fallen to its lowest position
    In six years ....... once again coming as a surprise to
    Economists :)) they really are snake oil sales men.

  • HigginsHiggins GermanyPosts: 16,619MI6 Agent
    which economists are you referring to?

    From what I've read, that fall has been predicted for more than a year.

    Surprisingly, Mr. Trump has not boasted with the "rising markets" and his perceived responsibility yesterday in his speech in Ohio.

    Economists in general. The news report I was listening
    To. Said it was a suprise to many the extent of the fall.

    Especially in light of how the US economy has been lauded recently, America sneezed, will we all now catch a cold?
    What do the economists say TP?

    As soon as they cut open a chicken and
    View its entrails, we'll know. ;) as at the
    Moment the UK should have really high
    Unemployment. With a failing economy
    With the Pound at rock bottom value ....
    ... yet strangely the UK seems to be going
    Along nicely ...... As always.

    Well in light of the SABS being closed I've set up a temporary bar here in the political discussion lounge. with some coke zero and a selection of nibbles, from Bockhurst bites to some cheese cubes on cocktail sticks in the shape of a hedgehog, for any financial traders I've set up a soup kitchen out back serving chicken entrails soup, and locked all the upstairs windows :#.
    The worlds markets are now 4 trillion dollars poorer than they were a few days ago? What has started this run on the markets?

    I think many bankers are following my posts here. It
    Can be the only explanation. :D
