Stock markets tend to take a dive after a four year election.Then recover what they lost.I used to work in the semiconductor business.Its hard for me to imagine society doing without cell phones,radio,tv, and movies.Our debt is the monster to worry about.triffid

Right.   The Chinese politburo aren't ever going to get over their greed:

Here's something similar:

China is not a safe haven anymore either.We need to get away from them.At least the stock investors need to .

I didn't know that it ever was one.   Some Asians, I was told in the Air Force, think only in terms of a bowl of rice(survival) and money(greed).   For the ChiCom politburo, I agree.   Nothing but greed.   If that doesn't work, then aggression.   The Russian Communists are in it as well.   Russian Proverb:
      "If someone refuses to give you what you want, then take it---by force, if necessary."

Actually, SeaMonkey, I read several years ago that the first "Crime family", ever, was the Italian Borgia family.  The Clintons are simply the latest, IMHO.

To stay on topic, take a look at this...

       I'd say the prediction was right.   Sooner or later, the end will come to the Money Game that too many wealthy people are playing.

It is a strange thing looking in watching these events unfold as the rest of the world like myself are wondering what in the hell many Americans could possibly be thinking. I mean we have all read the history books on how vile men play on peoples emotions to achieve an end and in our history it never ends well. Yet here we are, here we are with the same vile people like Donald Trump reading from the same demented playbook and so many are still lapping it up. I thought we had learned our lessons, I thought we were better than this but unfortunately we now have tangible proof we are not.

This same ridiculous theme just seems to keep repeating itself and the same old people keep thinking this could never happen to them and yet it always seems to repeat itself. I have this feeling which tells me if elected Trump is going to burn your country to the ground and I hope I'm wrong. For your sake and mine I hope I'm wrong but unfortunately I have a way with timelines.

It isn't so much the election nor the candidates per say but the latent notion that all those supposedly good Christians seem ready and willing to sell their soul to a person who holds absolutely none of their values in the name of greed. Thus the wheels have already been set in motion, the wheels have already left the track and your train wreck is just over the horizon. The fact remains that claiming to have values and not demonstrating these values when it really matters has no inherent value.

It may very well be that Trump is a National Hero.

Trump has done something very few people in our history have ever managed to do. He has convinced every religious right wing kook to come slithering out of their hole into the light of day for all to see who they really are. Trump has exposed the fact the religious right wing are ready, willing and able to sell out the values and beliefs of their country for their own personal gain and represent a clear and present threat to democracy.

Well played Mr. Trump
