Donald Trumped, pwned

This was not just an oversight, Trump and his team were duped. Think about the message on the picture to see how great a pwning this is.

I blame those scoundrelly Mexicans!

I wish i was American so i could vote Donald Trump. The amount of entertainment if he wins would be spectacular. Nothing is going to save America at this point, might as well go out with a bang.

From what?

[Purusha]

Decline, irrelevancy, and collapse. History repeating itself, and all that.

[Florestan]

From what?

From itself?... 

[Purusha]

Here's how i see America, or the west in general for that matter:

Decline, irrelevancy, and collapse.

What's the timeline for this collapse? 

[Brian]

It's much harder, today, for nations to endure "decline, irrelevancy, and collapse." It's not like ancient times, where America would grow weak and then barbarians would invade from Canada and sack all the cities. Unless the entire global political system is destroyed, and/or Canada becomes a barbarian warrior clan, America will probably exist for centuries to come, and its borders will remain unscathed.

We can still, of course, talk about decline, but I can't imagine this affecting my life as an everyday citizen. Global issues, like climate change, are a far bigger threat than somebody like China.

Kinda hard to do that with nukes part of the equation.  Worst case for the US is that it goes the way of the British Empire in terms of global influence, and ends up a fat, rich nation glorying in its past.  First, though, the dollar has to lose reserve currency status.  Maybe next year.

Canadians are a patient people. And we love to sack cities.

LOL. You Canadians are one unfortunate roadkill incident away from being run out of Ottawa by a gang of angry beavers.

This type of thinking is precisely why America cannot be saved.

In a (small) way, 'tis pity. A good sacking might do Detroit all the good in the world ....

That's true! You haveno idea howvicious those beavers can be. And cunning.

I dunno, they make some really good-looking watches nowadays.

(This is not a joke. Look up Shinola watches.)

[Karl Henning]

I know them from . . . .

Actually I lived in Canada (Vancouver) for nearly 4 years, and would seriously consider going back if the right opportunity arose. Becoming a hermit in a little hut on Salt Spring Island would be about right. Alternatively an NSERC grant to search for Sasquatch on Vancouver Island...
