Northern Ontario,
Agreed. I have directives in place to let me go if I cannot, by reasonable medical opinion of two doctors, be returned to full mental function (I know, you question whether I'm at full mental function now *wink*).
In Ontario I believe it is called "A living Will"
Had one drawn up the year I retired....

The only president not to recite the apostles creed - but in fairness he is too stupid to know it

Various names here: living will or advance medical directive or medical power of attorney, &c.

The standard package I put together for people is a will, a durable power of attorney, and a living will.

Trump is crowing about all the money that is pouring in from his tariffs as if it was the Chinese who were paying it

No, because no president is able to start a major depression...
No,just major wars. Someday, the United States will go into a big one full of hubrus and lose. It may be a hundred years from now or a dozen but it is inevitable that another military power will usurp them.

Occupation will set off a doozy of a depression.

You'd never know it to hear some of the posters on here! :)
Could be cuz the US has its best economy in 40 years, highest employment numbers ever in all demographic categories, and regulations being cut by the Trump administration. All these points are terrible for the US.

You could move there permanently, you know, and live there as an illegal.


Got any kids?

If Trump stays the course on economic nationalism (and continuing conservative Federal Court judicial appointments) it is highly probable that he will win a second term and will retain the Senate.

That means doubling down on tariffs especially with China and as a permanent long term fixture of U.S. economic policy. If he gets flustered by Wall Street intimidation he'll could lose it all. Nothing that Mueller comes out will prove Collusion with the Russians because it simply didn't happen. Therefor Obstruction of Justice becomes a technical, arbitrary, legal application without any moral weight. Despite CNNs take the last 48 hours simply consolidates Trump's claims of the a witchhunt.

The only thing that irritated me about Trump's actions in the last week was his twitter response to Rex Tillerson's interview in which Tillerson stated that Trump didn't read briefing books (or any books for that matter) and governed from his gut rather than legal formality. Well that's no surprise to anyone who has followed Trump. Everyone should have seen that this state college, mid western, petroleum engineer, oil company executive would mix with this Ivy League, NYC, real estate developer, promoter like oil and water.

Still Trump's personalizing his response by calling Tillerson "dumb as a rock, lazy as hell" and someone he couldn't get rid of fast enough really was really a rude overreaction to some modest comments that have been out there since the start of his administration. Trump's knee jerk, gratuitously combative, response just lacks class and character and could have been handled better.

can America have a best economy ever in a world where the Chinese economy slows down and American debt soars?
