Nah, there's a new part to the saga. The lovely spam filters were blocking the Clinton server so IT just turned off the spam filter instead of whitelisting the Clinton server or something.

Did Hillary speak out at all on the EU issue? If she was for remain or mum on the whole thing, I can't imagine she wont use it as a attack point during the general. Just point to the smoking ruins of the UK as Trump's policies in action.

Well according to my mom's friends who live there they have personally seen white girls beaten by Musselmen for not wearing veils and that Sharia zones are all over and how dare I imply that they are lying. :jerkbag: So now they can kick out the untermensch I guess.

I doubt it has an effect either way. At most it may once again bring his shady real estate deals to the fore, which are received on partisan lines, either they're a sign that he's corrupt or that he's a genius dealmaker.

Unless the market crash causes some kind of unforeseen effect, not quickly enough to influence the election. And at this point I wouldn't automatically assume it would help Trump, especially if there's such a clear and obvious trigger that the Democrats argued against and Trump argued for.

Probably. The Asian markets were going down last night before bed. I'd expect short term drops then it'll go back to normal. Who knows what happens in two years though

20 years ago really. We are collectively dealing with consequences from the cold war, and from globalization creating global consequences from issues like syria. Its gonna take us time to adjust, and right now its not going well in terms of xenophobia and isolationism.

Yes, absolutely. Everybody south of the Mason Dixie line can Brexit, and the rest of us can laugh into our new socialist empire while the Confederacy struggles to make ends meet with new trade agreements and a heavy, looming shadow of a trade partner that was their previous ally

That's not what S&P seem to think.

S&P are downgrading the UK to the rating that Moodies and Fitch have long given them before the referendum even started. This means S&P will now rate the UK as just as safe for investment as the US, which also doesn't have a AAA rating. Holy gently caress the world is ending. :rolleyes:
