That would be good, that is your opinion and you are entitled to it, but just remember, that doesn't make it fact! :)

Donald has got a bit in common with Kevin O'Leary.............a brilliant man in his own right, but he's got a lot to learn about politics, I think. In time I'm sure he'll learn it all but are those in the drivers' seat (the electorate and political associates) willing to give him the time? Maybe not. I think if he can make one substantial plank of his platform, stick, the pressure may subside.


When you say, 'learn about politics' are you referring to his style of speaking? If so, I hope he does NOT change. I dislike the way politicians talk from both sides of their mouth. They try to keep everybody happy and in that, nothing ever get done. Trump makes decisions and acts on them. If what he says offends people, tough. That's their problem.
I just like people who tell it like it is; not the way society wants them to.

Not his style of talking, things more like there is very little RIGHT OR WRONG in politics but more like how well it works and things like decisions coming at the end of a process, not so much spur of the moment.

When Mexicos gone Canada is next, simple Imperial decay

Scratch away at the perrimeter, build a zone of compliance. Treudeaus job is to manage Canadian collapse, it's a short fall, don't worry to much about it.

Mexico should attack right now while the implicvations are being digested by the American gastrointestinal association, preliminary results are disheartining.

Only Canada can stop Trump.

It depends if the Americans insist Mexico pays for the wall it could be
very interesting. If tariffs are imposed American consumers pay for the
wall. The more serious problem is the enemies of America in Latin
America and Asia could be huge benefactors. Then we have the others,
Some of the nations in Europe and even Russia could strike trade deals.
There is one thing no one considers. American companies have taken
their factories and moved them to new factory infrastructure facilities built
in China and else where. Those buildings can be taken and turned into
war factories over night At present with the nationalistic approach to trade
we are on the road to another war, and every modern war has been fought
over trade something to thinking about

I remember that back in the 1970's, "Futurists" were all the rage. We'd have flying cars, jet packs, live to be 200, etc.,etc. The future "Leisure Society" was a big thing, that is, mechanization, robots, labour saving devices would free us all up to live lives of leisure and recreation. What none of them figured out was that no one is going to pay you to be leisurely and produce nothing, so mechanization has freed us up to live our lives in poverty, relying on the State to stay alive. The lucky ones get Service Sector jobs that pay 1/5 of what good manufacturing jobs used to do, without any benefits, and given only enough hours to be deemed as "casual" employees.

It has freed us up to blame foreigners for our woes, to elect fascists to punish the foreigners and to ignore that the system itsself is obsolete and broken.
During college in the 70s we (class) had quite a discussion when Volvo went into robotics manufacturing. Obviously that was just the tip of the iceberg. Those jobs weren't coming back.

If Mexico was properly managed, it would be one of the richest countries on the American continent.

But it's run by a bunch of incompetent idiots

Well, there'd certainly be no shortage of tourist patronage!

I'm not sure we'd want to - 95% of what he's doing is good and the other 5% is good in principle, the execution needs some twitching.

"the execution needs some twitching"

CaaaareFULL!!

Reminds me of an old joke-

A man and his wife are at the Opera while an off-key woman is singing.

Wife: "I'm having trouble with her execution"

Husband: "I'm all for it"

It went something like that. I'm an encyclopedia of corny jokes in case you haven't noticed yet. :)

Oh, goody goody. Will it be a public execution?


More than likely, although possibly not like you think. :) :)

Mexican President was funded by the Juarez Cartel and that’s why he is against the Trump border plan

The security measures released on Wednesday are designed to not only stop the tide of illegal immigration but also to interfere with the cash flow of the notoriously vicious Mexican drug cartels which just so happen to have most likely financed the political campaign of Enrique Pena Nieto!

That’s right, the politician being praised for “standing up” to Donald Trump was likely funded by the very cartels Trump is directly attacking. Shockingly, this fact has been almost universally blacked out by the corporate media.
