    The SPLC will have their hands full for the next 4 years for sure.

    The weird thing is that I have 3 friends who are Trump supporters, one is Jewish (born in Israel), one is Mexican, and one is married to an immigrant wife.

    This is an interesting article about how policies enacted today might be different if people think about what the world and society will look like in the future.

    Bill Perry Is Terrified. Why Aren’t You?

    Nukes
    This is why I'm scared living near a target area.
    They will now have a guy in charge who doubles down on stupid.

    I'm taking steps to get out of the way...seriously
    I potentially see the Cuban Missile Crisis going the WRONG way.

    I do worry that Trump will attack North Korea, and I'm not sure what China will do when that happens. At the least I feel that Taiwan would get invaded and taken over by China.

    I think more likely Pakistan with China, Russia, Iran and India's blessing, IMHO.
    Plus they aren't capable of a long-range missile strike back. (to the US...I don't think Trump cares about India or Iran)
    North Korea could possibly strike back at Japan, Taiwan and South Korea...all of which I think Trump has investments in...or friends do.

    I would worry about Trump attacking Iran with Israel's blessing and really causing problems in the world. I don't have a good feel for what the GOP will want to do with the Iran nuclear deal and what happens if they break it (or if the US says they did). I'm not sure what the media and military pressure will do to Trump either if they are calling him weak for not taking action.

    The Assault on Health and Safety Begins

    I guess some people aren't as "pro-life" as they've said...

    Or is it once you're here, you're on your own??

    Hey...we just have to "man up" and get ready to die (or at least get sick...OR lose "a bit" of money) :mad:

    *** y'know I'm all for making tons of money...definitely an ambitious capitalist...but not by hurting people (does this make me a liberal??)

    I had some friends who went to DC. I went to one in my city.

    I just hope that they will be effective. Compared to the Tea Party in 2010, these were way bigger than those protests.

    How Plunging Oil Prices Are Hurting the Global Reflation Rally

    I think it's going to go down to $30
    They've been propping up a glut for a long time.
    Now there's not enough cohesion amongst the players to keep it up.

    Venezuela is a non-player now. The Saudis are transitioning to service market...and can't keep the other OPEC players from pumping.
    Russia has ended up pissing off everyone, including the US (except Trump)
    The US is ready to become even more of an exporter.
    And the West is ready and has the tech to push further away from Oil.

    It's going to be a brand new world soon (if we don't kill ourselves)
    The oil powers aren't going to be pleased
    They're just holding off the tide.

    At this rate, everyone will abandon the Athabasca oil sands.

    I watched the on the ground videos from Berkley, and it isn't just the old white guys who are upset at the left wing. There has been a lot of peer pressure to belong to the alt-right groups if you are a working class white from the Midwest. And conservative media spin and on-line trolling that has made the angry guy a much bigger problem. There used to be a few fringe anti-government militias, but they have been converted into anti-liberal groups and they know how to provoke and get nationwide platform to recruit more people on the Internet.

    And speaking of which...WTF??? :eek:
    Mayor of Charlottesville calls Pro-Confederate rallies 'horrific'

    This is to the south of me near where my family lives... torches...dude.

    Chanting "Russia is our friend"??? :confused:

    Are they THAT brainwashed?
    Has Trump skewed them that much?

    BTW...Richard Spencer who led them is the nazi (ahem alt-righter) that got punched (twice) on video
