3-4 seperate confederation of States by 2025 after trying an actual war with Iran, having their arses kicked, then totally imploding as everyone says fuck it and takes aim at anyone they don't like....? 🙄

Don't think there's any provision for individual states to leave the Union, hence that Civil War they had. A civil war would probably make any overseas wars unlikely.

Or they could just go back to the time (before the cable news networks, 'reality' tv and social media) when somehow, they all managed to get along.

...will be under the benevolent reign of Emperor Donald J. Trump, or perhaps Empress Ivanka Trump, who in true Game of Thrones style will have babies to her lecherous daddy so as to completely secure the line of glorious succession for future Trumpatine generations to come.

LOL I hope you're wrong, but I fear you may be right.

Actually her hubby Jared Kushner is the one to worry about. He strongly influenced a lot of Trumps decisions, bit of a quiet worker in the background and very pro Israel...
Nice angle though

Nah, the Kushner kids will be quietly disposed of as they will sully the Trumpet genes. Kushner might be an influencer but his offspring won't be pure Trump enough to be worthy of the succession line :msn-wink:

I thought Donald did that.....

Wanting to bang his daughter is, I think,one of the few things trump is actually truthful about.

Well it’s nearly that time again….

On a side note it seems the world is rejecting socialism. Argentina has just said no more and elected a pretty exciting chap who doesn’t mince his words

This will be a study in the term "careful what you wish for" for the ages.
Same if trump wins in 24

I fear that as society fractures a war will be started to distract everyone and focus their anger against a common enemy, real or imagined.

Creates a lot of employment, too.

Yeah, heard that before. The main problem is that people who don't like the idea of socialism are usually either wealthy people who want to hang on to what's theirs (and preferably what's yours' as well). Or, as in the US, are dim twats who have no idea what the word means and are subsequently easily manipulated by others who might know or might not. An easy bogey man to scare the witless.

Social democracy FTW.

Classic case is estate tax in the U.S. and U.K.
Only really affects big estates, worth well more than the middle class will ever have, but the folk who'd have to pay the tax work hard to convince everyone else the evil taxman is coming for them and their children's $20 inheritance.


There's been a populist-right win in the Netherlands recently too.
I think it's just the pendulum swinging (people blaming whoever is in that they are the cause of any trouble, and whoever is out claiming they will fix things) added to the growing trend of the right blowing up anything into a problem - that was caused by scary change from the good old days.

Youll find it’s the small business owners crippled by extra time and financial costs of compliance to ever increasing govt beauracracy. As Thatcher pointed out socialism always fails as sooner or later you run out of other people’s money to spend. Socialism is the worlds biggest Ponzi scheme.

Socialism isnt all bad. I am sure many of us apprecite the fact that there is "free" healthcare,unemployment,super etc. But i agree with the sentiment that there is too much govt in our lives now,and encroaching at local govt level too.Where is the balance? The "land of the free" is in some ways the least free

We all have a dream of what socialism SHOULD look like in a western society. Some form of public healthcare, small welfare safety net, policing and education, road maintainance etc.

But the last six years of unchecked lunacy of a prime minister who had five media managers, 30% growth in govt beauracracy jobs which included more media managers and spin doctors. I mean who thinks it’s ok for ACC to be advertising what they do, pure money down drain. Ohhhh it’s just a little inflation problem that compounds every year. We were on path to join Argentina if labour had stayed in power any longer.
We have gotten to a PC point where we accept failure and just rain cash on it to quell fires of discontent. Instead we should be making success easier by removing barriers to people’s abilities to make their own choices and paths ahead. You do that by less rules and regulations.
