(18,634 posts)Lower taxes for the rich is the only thing Republicans care about.
They would be willing to instigate WWIII as long as the rich pay much lower taxes.

(36,745 posts)The EU will become a federal republic, single government and single currency.
It will fill the void of a fractured and impotent United States.

(5,730 posts)we left in the world. Someone is going to fill it. Putin planned on it. China is stepping up the fastest. Problem w China is no free speech, human rights violations, blah, blah. It is possible even China's leadership is morally superior to ours. China is filling the gaps we left in aid to Africa and taking a leadership role in environmental issues, which is a surprise to me. Anyway, I am hoping the EU fills the vacuum.

(1,679 posts)The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater. ― Frank Zappa

(11,563 posts)When you have a figurehead for a leader that could be any old terra cotta oaf on the street, replaceable by a reasonably fresh jack o' lantern. An ethos that holds fear of might as synonymous with respect and envy of material things the equivalent of admiration.

(1,332 posts)Good on you. Although I was kind of hoping he'd go visit his gold course in Scotland and kind of 'forget' to come back. And PLEASE do not invite him to the royal wedding. I hear the Obamas will probably be invited and I'm looking forward to the tweets when he realizes he's hasn't been invited. I'll pour a glass of wine and settle back and read them. He is sooooooo disgusting.
