But: look at the date on that announcement (September) - so we may still hope, he changes his mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EUCMania Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Canadian immigration web sites' traffic suddenly jumped up after Trump was elected, I heard. I guess Canadian will soon "Build that WALL" to stop Yankees to enter into Canada illegally. For me, I plan to buy more EUCs before the tariff goes up.

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 It's been interesting watching the news and seeing all the protests. Thankfully most haven't been violent except for Oakland, but some places are just itching for an excuse to let loose and cause trouble. There's a destructive mob mentality when a large, emotional group gets together and thinks they can get away with breaking the law. Even in Vancouver the fans tore apart their own city after that one hockey game. Good thing we had super high resolution photos of the perps. (click or mouse scroll to zoom) http://www.gigapixel.com/image/gigapan-canucks-g7.html Darn it, gonna have to retake that photo. Someone blinked. Considering Trump got the majority of States on his side, there are lots of people who believe he'll do a better job than Clinton. What do they say, "You make your bed, you sleep in it." I just hope his radical ideas don't get the US into more trouble on a global scale as he's a guy who seems to make some unpopular choices. It would be cool to have a crystal ball to see 4 years into the future... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump is the best thing that happened to the USA in a long time! Americans are simply tired of enduring 8 years of a socialist leaning inept community organizer and his ilk like corrupt hillary and the communist elizabeth warren trying to destroy the USA.I just returned from a two week visit to the world's largest commust ruled country called China and there seems to be more capitalism flourishing there than in many parts of the USA.If you really beleive socialism is a superior economic system than Capitalism,go live in Venezuela for a few years and see how you like it.Just be sure to take plenty of toilet paper with you!

I agree , I travelled with motorcycle Yamaha xv750 in east Germany old DDR , at the border we met young men with automatic weapons, they told as we must go to stalbrude camping in the middle of the night in rain , we also had to follow green roads especially chosen for visitors tourists and we was told not to go in to eastberlin wich we ofcourse did and met alot of interesting people and tried a restaurant , saw the city , but without money you cant do anything and if trump steal poor peoples money because they eat pancakes now and then... , a country is only a country as long as people take care of eachother , it's not ment to be only for the rich, thats why social welfare is important but without communism and its crazy laws and secret control big brother system , and not to forget , the richest people in Europe and USA are rich because poor people work for slave sallary in China and other poor dictature countries , produce a high tech product in China for 10 dollars , sell it in USA Europe for 300 dollars , Bill Steve and Mr Donald takes all the profit money in their own pocket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esaj Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Not much into politics, but I think this post by Bruce J. Oreck (the former United States ambassador in Finland) pretty much distills it down: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehab1 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 I predicted Trump would beat Hillary back in October 2001 when they both attended The Concert For NewYork City. If you look closely at their autographes Thump is clearly on top! Jimmy Fallon came in third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizardmech Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I hope something is done about the NGOs fueling the riots, it's ridiculous that tax exempt NGOs are paying people to instigate them, you can find the joblistings for protestors on craiglist. The same NGOs have extensive links to the Clinton campaign and were involved in destabilizing other countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
