When I saw this post, I was going to ask, do you really think doing nothing is better?I would like to ask posters on here what they're going to do when Mule moves on his charges and there's a constitutional crisis.
With Trump at the helm and his backing of 10s of millions of angry white males, shit could hit the fan remarkably. Voters will feel disenfranchised thanks to the commentary on Fox and other right wing sites. They pushed for 2 years that it's a deep state coup. You think it's bad now, it could get 10x worse. Potential for civil unrest is unprecedented in the past 150 years. At least in Clinton's Starr investigation, we were in far more mellow times- people weren't at each other's throats.
All Trump has to do, is send out a tweet, and his army of crazies will come out of the woodwork like the crew of the Flying Dutchman. Media will be getting bomb threats hourly, Congress will be on lockdown, and we'll probably have martial law in many cities.
Dangerous times, my friends. Wars do start with hot rhetoric. Wouldn't be a crazy idea to buy some precious metals and a small cache of ammunition, just in case.
And then I saw this post and I realize you don't give a flying fuck what is better for the country as long as it doesn't impact your investments. It's interesting to have it confirmed yet again that the main characteristics linking Trump supporters around here are greed and absence of empathy.Unfortunately I do own equity stocks long-term, and I do not like the prospect of taking a massive ass kicking. Civil unrest will tank not just US economy, but the world economy. Little instability in puny old Greece and we were all over the place.
