| http://theweek.com/articles/655708/after-trump-loses-ominous-american-future-imagined "here we are in July 2019. The country is wracked by violence, hatred, and economic despair. President Hillary Clinton just declared martial law. And rumors are swirling that the 2020 presidential election might need to be suspended." This is what everyone should be looking forward to people. End of the world. |

| Good riddance. :) |
 Akira predicted the Tokyo 2020 Olympics over 30 years ago. Akira also predicted that World War 3 would end before 2019. |
| 1.) Not a current event. 2.) No president EVER has had the power to single-handedly influence "violence" (crime?), "hatred" (bigotry?), and the "economy". 3.) Seek help when experiencing extreme paranoia, usually it's nothing but it could be signalling the prodromal stage of Schizophrenia, in which case limited albeit some research has shown that early treatment can in fact lessen the blow once the auditory / visual hallucinations pick up and you struggle to determine what is and is not real. |

| Implying America isn't ominous anyway. |
| It doesn't account for the rest of the world though but it will be just as bad or even worse. Don't let Clinton, the wannabe empress in office. |

| The picture in the article looks like what most of the long-time Democrat-run cities look like now. In fact it's too rosy: shuttered factories don't produce smoke from their stacks. |

I watched it for the first time a couple months ago before the Tokyo Olympics were announced. I put it off forever. Genuinely good movie so give it a watch. |
| I think we should rename "Current Events" to "Trump Events". |
 |
| I starting to think that regardless of the polls, Trump may have a chance of winning. I'm not a fan of either of the two candidates, but the more I learn about Hillary, the more I hate her. |

As far as I'm aware, the executive branch in the US is veeeeeeeeeeeeeery loosely defined, so I don't really know where you get your 'president can't X or Y" narrative from |
| ... |
| LMAO! Remember "Obama's 2016" by the Neocons who imagined an America literally doomed by a second Obama presidency back in 2012? Because I DO! I don't expect any reasonable answers from Non-Americans....they don't live here nor do they know what it's like. But Americans who DO live here and have a good understanding of all of this are being beyond paranoid. Hell....I dislike BOTH Trump and Hillary....but I know that if either of them wins...more than likely little to nothing would change. The status-quo will continue. But I guess imagining doomsday scenarios and being overly dramatic is much more entertaining. BTW....I DO expect SOME people to act up on or after election day when Trump does lose.....but Jesus Christ.....NO....it's not the end of the world or America. |

The two statements are not equal. Pirating_Ninja said: 2.) No president EVER has had the power to single-handedly influence "violence" (crime?), "hatred" (bigotry?), and the "economy". As far as I'm aware, the executive branch in the US is veeeeeeeeeeeeeery loosely defined, so I don't really know where you get your 'president can't X or Y" narrative from Ignoring Merkel who isn't even a "president" of her own country, none of those presidents were able to singe-handedly affect legislature either. I think you guys are missing the point here. Being popular with a majority of like-minded individuals in congress will allow you to get your ideals passed, however that isn't "single-handed". Then you have to consider this, is the current climate looking like Hilary is going to have a majority of allies in Congress, hence allowing her to push her ideals relatively easily? No . . . In fact, in Senate and in House, Republicans are slated to win the majority. You can pretend they are equivalent to previous presidents who have had allies in congress, but you are just being intentionally dishonest, both realistically, and more importantly technically, since none of them were single-handedly able to implement policies of their own without the compliance of congress. |

How about snark olympics? |
| No way to recall What it was that you had said to me Like I care at all But it was so loud And you sure could yell You took a stand on every little thing And it was so loud |
| I for one will be happy once Nov. 8 comes and goes.... I don't remember the last time any event has garnered so much attention here on MAL... Once Trump loses....we'll inevitably get multiple threads claiming the election was rigged, America is doomed, etc. But eventually when nothing happens and life continues to chug along like regularly....people will forget and it'll go back to normal. |

JustALEX said: Once Trump loses....we'll inevitably get multiple threads claiming the election was rigged, America is doomed, etc. But eventually when nothing happens and life continues to chug along like regularly....people will forget and it'll go back to normal. Yeah, pretty much this. Does everyone remember when Obama got elected, and people were saying he was the antichrist, and a Muslim. And he was going to enact martial law, disarm the citizenry and bring about the destruction of the US? Things will be much the same with Hillary. People will have a kneejerk reaction and say all this terrible shit will happen, but it never will. |

I just know you can't have hordes of third world people flooding into a socialist country. It becomes a transfer of wealth from one group to another, and politics fragment along ethnic lines. Anarcho-capitalism doesn't work either. There's no evidence that the market automatically gets the best result. I think it's more likely that the greediest, least scrupulous people would succeed the most. The market has no ideal. If the demand is for degeneracy, the market provides. |

I'm just saying social programs isnt the same as socialism. Although I lack a better word for it so I can see why peoplee still use the word that way. Anarcho Capitalism isnt even anarchism it's just anti stateism. A good example of it is Honduras in the business controlled regions. Basically it has armed guards everywhere and decaying roads. |
