As I understand it he's having the same cash crunch with his golf resorts in Ireland and Scotland.<br /><br />Thanks for your good wishes and I extend the same to you. I sense we're fast entering FUBAR territory, at home and globally. Before I get out of bed these days I use my Amazon Echo device to give me news summaries from CBC, BBC, and NPR. Increasingly the news is dominated by reports of social unrest - political, economic and environmental - seemingly in every corner of the world. The pressure is on; peoples' expectations are not being met, in some cases even basic needs and survival; the old order is pushing back, sometimes brutally; and no one, the Scandinavians excepted, seems to have the remotest idea how to restore tranquility.<br /><br />Sometimes I have to replay these news summaries to clarify what is underway just where. If you're not paying close attention they tend to blur.<br /><br />There are research papers that have been released by both the Pentagon and the Brit's Ministry of Defence, exploring how climate change and its knock-on effects (floods, droughts, famine, the collapse of freshwater resources) will destabilize nations (as we've seen in Syria) and then regions spreading upheaval. It could be this prediction is already starting.<br /><br />And we've got people like Boris and Donald in the wheelhouse. Might be time to make sure you know where the lifeboats are.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-24562290721927013232019-10-20T07:58:51.510-07:002019-10-20T07:58:51.510-07:00Sal, from what I've gleaned, Mattis and McRave...Sal, from what I've gleaned, Mattis and McRaven are just part of a group of prominent dissenters that runs through both the military and the national security establishments. Once this group concludes that Donald Trump is a mortal threat to the Republic, pretty much anything can happen and they do seem to be nearing that point.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-48773641475031551472019-10-19T22:21:18.435-07:002019-10-19T22:21:18.435-07:00I'm on the same time zone as you Mound, so you...I'm on the same time zone as you Mound, so you've probably seen this as well, however, I did read a few minutes ago that Trump has abandoned having the G-7 at Doral. <br /><br />What's the saying again: "One small step for man - one large step for mankind"???<br /><br />Cheers, and good luck for Monday's referendum on all our political parties and may the green side win - even if many of them are a much paler shade!

I know a pretty strong percentage are pro Trump.. because uh.. he might declare a wsr.. or blow more $ into military sales or budget. But I would be suprised thst the laughable comparison between Old Bone Spurs.. and soldiers of the calibre of Generals Mattis or McRaven don't have their chain of command or former commands snickering in the barracks about their foppish Tweeter In Chief. The whole sense of ridicule is mounting everywhere. Trump simply cannot fight so many fronts at once.. and certainly cannot expect Giuliani to hang in there.. go down with the ship. I get the feeling a whole lot of lost in space Trumpists are going to see the hot air go out of the Great Again Golf President. One out of three to five days, Trump has been golfing at one of his country clubs.. Trump is diseased.. as is the entire GOP. Perhaps we are about to see the exodus.. of GOP trying to save their own skins.. don't try to tell me he ks not being told hiw exposed he is. the salamanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853337802990122289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-58860193129357519742019-10-19T18:54:03.562-07:002019-10-19T18:54:03.562-07:00"Fixing elections" by the Swamp since JF..."Fixing elections" by the Swamp since JFK.<br />Any election which was unfixable resulted in a Swamp's sabotage of the Potus.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-56487848795112641182019-10-19T17:01:50.410-07:002019-10-19T17:01:50.410-07:00Trump will achieve what he started to do, that is ...Trump will achieve what he started to do, that is make money off the presidency.<br />He stated this when he became president.<br />Possibly the only honest sentence he ever spoke.<br />Trump will never ,ever, be successfully prosecuted, the corrupt base of western politics will not allow it.<br />Tony Blair, George bush and Henry Kissinger come to mind; all war criminals.<br />Fixing elections and profiteering and nothing compared to those guys.<br /><br />TB Trailblazerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03436709163754934547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-59734152972274312762019-10-19T16:11:21.152-07:002019-10-19T16:11:21.152-07:00Jennifer Ruben, figures impeachment of Donald Trum...Jennifer Ruben, figures impeachment of Donald Trump is now a "slam dunk."<br /><br />Yawn, <br /><br />what are the chances for conviction in the Senate?<br /><br />Now those Brits .....Northern PoVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04670080478290108536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-7085700734443757852019-10-19T16:01:41.949-07:002019-10-19T16:01:41.949-07:00I would assume that's a huge political advanta...I would assume that's a huge political advantage, John, if you can just tap into a big enough herd of Gullibillies.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-24157106152919469042019-10-19T14:50:06.308-07:002019-10-19T14:50:06.308-07:00Trump knows that certain aspects of his act have r...Trump knows that certain aspects of his act have run their course.
