    How stupid is this guy? Scotland didn't support Brexit...yet Trumpenstein is in Scotland praising Scotland for the vote to leave.

    He's truly comes off and not having any clue what he's talking about (and at times as barely even being coherent).
    What is pretty coherent are the results of the vote.
    That has nothing to do with what I said and I don't know why you said it, but yeah, the results are clear. :confused:
    It does. The people not Scotland made a decision for themselves. Trump knows why, the people know why. Democracy worked directly for the people. Sour grapes for the opposition? oh well.
    See, you're just as confused as Trump (this is not surprising).

    The people of Scotland voted overwhelmingly to remain.

    Lol, right, it was only the main point of the original article being discussed. :dizzy:
    This is what happens when people use www.donaldjtrump.com for their news. ha
    The Scots did not have a bigger population voting to stay. Instead they were lumped in with the rest of the majority of the UK who voted to leave.
    Who cares if the majority of Scots wanted to stay? The will of the rest was stronger.
    Trump was telling facts of the day as it happened. Whether or not you agree it is still fact.
    Trump was addressing the Scots specifically. Game over, man.
    The Scots specifically at his grand opening of Turnberry who likely voted to leave.
    Either way it was pretty much 50/50 in Scotland.

    Basically, they took back their country. That's a great thing
    Yes and the markets freaked out, the pound is crushed, the Down is down 600 points. It's likely that the UK specifically will spiral into a recession. Way to make things better.
    So explain what was the driving force for so many people wanting to separate?
    My post has nothing to do with people wanting to separate. I can't speak to individual motivation. My point is that the vote is creating an economically unstable situation. That is rarely a wise choice. The Brits could have re-negotiated certain terms of their membership, dramatically reducing the fallout. I tend to think that will still happen.
    Nope, people are sick of talking and meetings.
    It was time for action.
    Listen... I get that you don't believe in economics for some reason. That's been evident in many of your posts. But there was probably 2 trillion dollars of wealth lost today. That wealth was tied up in pensions, IRA, 529's and other 'normal person' investment vehicles, not just "1%'s". it hit people in the US (global market... get it?) I get that your candidate floated filing bankruptcy on the national debt. If you think today's loss was staggering, that action would probably be 4-5x what today's financial disaster was. Think about that before you keep railing on with half cocked ideas that Trump has been floating.
    The half cocked ideas are at least an attempt to explain what many don't or won't from fear of repercussion.
    Money lost? to who? where did it go?
    The bold is not a real sentence. Please try again.

    Okay.. let's do an exercise. I assume you have some sort of investment vehicle, correct? Retirement, stocks, mutual fund investments, etc. Were up at 1230 last night when the vote came in? Did you immediately move your money to the yen or the dollar, or perhaps a treasury bond? If not, you lost $. I was on a plane. I lost a lot of money last night because of this vote, probably 3-5% of the value of my portfolio. Now why that really sucks is my daughter is going off to college soon. She has a 529 that will need to be cashed out. The chances of stocks recovering (save a new Brexit vote) by the time she goes is not good. That's a real financial loss. Do you not understand this?
    I do understand that you had a financial loss.
    Where did it go to?
    Okay, think of it this way.
    Let's just take Google as the stock (Alphabet). It closed yesterday at $701. The aftermarket traders at 1230 AM started a massive sell overnight so by time it opened today it was 675. So if I closed the day yesterday with the purchasing power of 100 shares, I only had 96 shares this morning. Let's say all those people that sold immediately bought the dollar. It closed yesterday at 93 but overnight it jumped to 96. If I sold my alphabet shares yesterday before the market closed, I could have bought 753 shares. But this morning, I could only buy 703 shares. That $ is gone. It's a loss.

    You still are not explaining how this is Trumps fault.
    You can't even explain where it went. Quit repeating that you lost money I get it. You lost it to who? Who has your lost money?

    Dude, are you for real? Do you understand how this all works? When people pull their money out of the market, it tanks the price. If you own a piece of that, the value of your ownership goes down.
    When you buy a house for 300k and then two years later no one will pay you more than 270k for it, do you pretend it's not really a loss? It's the same concept.

    How stupid is this guy? Scotland didn't support Brexit...yet Trumpenstein is in Scotland praising Scotland for the vote to leave.

    He's truly comes off and not having any clue what he's talking about (and at times as barely even being coherent).
    What is pretty coherent are the results of the vote.
    That has nothing to do with what I said and I don't know why you said it, but yeah, the results are clear. :confused:
    It does. The people not Scotland made a decision for themselves. Trump knows why, the people know why. Democracy worked directly for the people. Sour grapes for the opposition? oh well.
    See, you're just as confused as Trump (this is not surprising).

    The people of Scotland voted overwhelmingly to remain.

    Lol, right, it was only the main point of the original article being discussed. :dizzy:
    This is what happens when people use www.donaldjtrump.com for their news. ha
    The Scots did not have a bigger population voting to stay. Instead they were lumped in with the rest of the majority of the UK who voted to leave.
    Who cares if the majority of Scots wanted to stay? The will of the rest was stronger.
    Trump was telling facts of the day as it happened. Whether or not you agree it is still fact.
    Trump was addressing the Scots specifically. Game over, man.
    The Scots specifically at his grand opening of Turnberry who likely voted to leave.
    Either way it was pretty much 50/50 in Scotland.

    Basically, they took back their country. That's a great thing
    Yes and the markets freaked out, the pound is crushed, the Down is down 600 points. It's likely that the UK specifically will spiral into a recession. Way to make things better.
    So explain what was the driving force for so many people wanting to separate?
    My post has nothing to do with people wanting to separate. I can't speak to individual motivation. My point is that the vote is creating an economically unstable situation. That is rarely a wise choice. The Brits could have re-negotiated certain terms of their membership, dramatically reducing the fallout. I tend to think that will still happen.
    Nope, people are sick of talking and meetings.
    It was time for action.
    Listen... I get that you don't believe in economics for some reason. That's been evident in many of your posts. But there was probably 2 trillion dollars of wealth lost today. That wealth was tied up in pensions, IRA, 529's and other 'normal person' investment vehicles, not just "1%'s". it hit people in the US (global market... get it?) I get that your candidate floated filing bankruptcy on the national debt. If you think today's loss was staggering, that action would probably be 4-5x what today's financial disaster was. Think about that before you keep railing on with half cocked ideas that Trump has been floating.
    The half cocked ideas are at least an attempt to explain what many don't or won't from fear of repercussion.
    Money lost? to who? where did it go?
    The bold is not a real sentence. Please try again.

    Okay.. let's do an exercise. I assume you have some sort of investment vehicle, correct? Retirement, stocks, mutual fund investments, etc. Were up at 1230 last night when the vote came in? Did you immediately move your money to the yen or the dollar, or perhaps a treasury bond? If not, you lost $. I was on a plane. I lost a lot of money last night because of this vote, probably 3-5% of the value of my portfolio. Now why that really sucks is my daughter is going off to college soon. She has a 529 that will need to be cashed out. The chances of stocks recovering (save a new Brexit vote) by the time she goes is not good. That's a real financial loss. Do you not understand this?
    I do understand that you had a financial loss.
    Where did it go to?
    Puff gone into cyberspace don't you have any investment thru job or anything, I remember in 08 I lost 30 grand that 1st week of bubble bursting it was just gone from my 403 ...
    What have you done to recover? Re-invest into cyberspace?
    Just kept investing into my 403 ...
    Did you ever question who received your loss?
    The faster you move your money to a safe haven (or cash out) the better you can mitigate your loss.

    Am I being fucked with here?

    I don't blame people for not paying what others (the market) says it's worth. Yes it is nice to be in a house watching the value go up every year until you decide to sell it. In the end you get what you should. A shack is a shack.

    Mom and Pop were right about keeping your money in a shoebox underneath your bed. You will always know your worth.

    Okay. You are clearly not understanding the stock market. You don't get to cash out your 529, IRA, 401(k), pension, etc. Sorry, I know these are US tax codes but I'm sure Canada has something similar.

    But here's the thing. And I'm very sorry about this... but we're going to have to relieve you of your duties as conservative antagonist on this board. It's just not working out for any of us. We know you are trying hard to represent the policies of the right, but the understanding is just too superficial at this point. Many of us don't agree with the non-crazy conservatives, but they do have some good points that need to be considered. That's just not happening right now.

    I'll start playing the conservative on this board until such time as we can find a suitable replacement. There will be certain view I just can't defend, but I'll do my best. Please cut me some slack.

    How stupid is this guy? Scotland didn't support Brexit...yet Trumpenstein is in Scotland praising Scotland for the vote to leave.

    He's truly comes off and not having any clue what he's talking about (and at times as barely even being coherent).
    What is pretty coherent are the results of the vote.
    That has nothing to do with what I said and I don't know why you said it, but yeah, the results are clear. :confused:
    It does. The people not Scotland made a decision for themselves. Trump knows why, the people know why. Democracy worked directly for the people. Sour grapes for the opposition? oh well.
    See, you're just as confused as Trump (this is not surprising).

    The people of Scotland voted overwhelmingly to remain.

    Lol, right, it was only the main point of the original article being discussed. :dizzy:
    This is what happens when people use www.donaldjtrump.com for their news. ha
    The Scots did not have a bigger population voting to stay. Instead they were lumped in with the rest of the majority of the UK who voted to leave.
    Who cares if the majority of Scots wanted to stay? The will of the rest was stronger.
    Trump was telling facts of the day as it happened. Whether or not you agree it is still fact.
    Trump was addressing the Scots specifically. Game over, man.
    The Scots specifically at his grand opening of Turnberry who likely voted to leave.
    Either way it was pretty much 50/50 in Scotland.

    Basically, they took back their country. That's a great thing
    Yes and the markets freaked out, the pound is crushed, the Down is down 600 points. It's likely that the UK specifically will spiral into a recession. Way to make things better.
    So explain what was the driving force for so many people wanting to separate?
    My post has nothing to do with people wanting to separate. I can't speak to individual motivation. My point is that the vote is creating an economically unstable situation. That is rarely a wise choice. The Brits could have re-negotiated certain terms of their membership, dramatically reducing the fallout. I tend to think that will still happen.
    Nope, people are sick of talking and meetings.
    It was time for action.
    Listen... I get that you don't believe in economics for some reason. That's been evident in many of your posts. But there was probably 2 trillion dollars of wealth lost today. That wealth was tied up in pensions, IRA, 529's and other 'normal person' investment vehicles, not just "1%'s". it hit people in the US (global market... get it?) I get that your candidate floated filing bankruptcy on the national debt. If you think today's loss was staggering, that action would probably be 4-5x what today's financial disaster was. Think about that before you keep railing on with half cocked ideas that Trump has been floating.
    The half cocked ideas are at least an attempt to explain what many don't or won't from fear of repercussion.
    Money lost? to who? where did it go?
    The bold is not a real sentence. Please try again.

    Okay.. let's do an exercise. I assume you have some sort of investment vehicle, correct? Retirement, stocks, mutual fund investments, etc. Were up at 1230 last night when the vote came in? Did you immediately move your money to the yen or the dollar, or perhaps a treasury bond? If not, you lost $. I was on a plane. I lost a lot of money last night because of this vote, probably 3-5% of the value of my portfolio. Now why that really sucks is my daughter is going off to college soon. She has a 529 that will need to be cashed out. The chances of stocks recovering (save a new Brexit vote) by the time she goes is not good. That's a real financial loss. Do you not understand this?
    I do understand that you had a financial loss.
    Where did it go to?
    Puff gone into cyberspace don't you have any investment thru job or anything, I remember in 08 I lost 30 grand that 1st week of bubble bursting it was just gone from my 403 ...
    What have you done to recover? Re-invest into cyberspace?
    Just kept investing into my 403 ...
    Did you ever question who received your loss?
    The faster you move your money to a safe haven (or cash out) the better you can mitigate your loss.

    Am I being fucked with here?
    Exactly - cash out.
    Okay. You are clearly not understanding the stock market. You don't get to cash out your 529, IRA, 401(k), pension, etc. Sorry, I know these are US tax codes but I'm sure Canada has something similar.

    But here's the thing. And I'm very sorry about this... but we're going to have to relieve you of your duties as conservative antagonist on this board. It's just not working out for any of us. We know you are trying hard to represent the policies of the right, but the understanding is just too superficial at this point. Many of us don't agree with the non-crazy conservatives, but they do have some good points that need to be considered. That's just not happening right now.

    I'll start playing the conservative on this board until such time as we can find a suitable replacement. There will be certain view I just can't defend, but I'll do my best. Please cut me some slack.
    Nah, I think this guy is doing a bang up job. I love this thread.

    It's possible he could be like one of those fake Twitter bots that are just there to troll people or whatever. They also make up about 80% of Trump's followers.

    But here's the thing. And I'm very sorry about this... but we're going to have to relieve you of your duties as conservative antagonist on this board. It's just not working out for any of us. We know you are trying hard to represent the policies of the right, but the understanding is just too superficial at this point. Many of us don't agree with the non-crazy conservatives, but they do have some good points that need to be considered. That's just not happening right now.

    I'll start playing the conservative on this board until such time as we can find a suitable replacement. There will be certain view I just can't defend, but I'll do my best. Please cut me some slack.

    I really need someone to make sense. This is driving me nuts.

    +/- 5%

    The lesson for U.S. politics is that polls showing a steady lead for Clinton could underestimate the extent to which voters are fed up with the status quo and are willing to take a risk on a candidate like Trump — whose rhetoric on trade and immigration is very similar to that used by the Leave campaign.
