FYI, if you start telling someone off with "I don't know what's going on, but.." then you sure aren't about to make any friends. 00:30:35, 2017-03-05
You're assuming whatever it is couldn't possibly be worth the reaction you're witnessing. While stating that you don't care what caused it. in reply to SciStarborne 00:33:21, 2017-03-05

Best case, Trump is successfully impeached. Presuming he strays from the Nazi playbook & doesn't turn the military on his political rivals. in reply to SciStarborne 15:15:59, 2017-03-03
Worst case though, which seems increasingly likely, is the UK acts a foothold for military "intervention" into Europe. Land war in the UK. in reply to SciStarborne 15:17:27, 2017-03-03
Once Brexit is initiated, we're looking at at least a decade of economic collapse & openings for outright war in Europe. 15:26:13, 2017-03-03
