Good...they are beginning to sound more and more ridiculous by the moment. Hopefully soon it all starts falling on deaf ears.

I hope they marginalize themselves.

Next step: President Trump.

I love to see liberals squirming uncomfortably inside their Ivory Towers.

I saw the racism angle used before 8am this morning.

And, THAT, was the whole reason to leave the EU. The Brit citizens were tired of people, that they didn't vote for, tell them how to live their lives. What they should or shouldn't do.

If Trump becomes president he should demand that the U.S. take its bow and politely exit the United Numbskulls. Then you'd really see the racism card played like it's never been played before.

You know, I never thought of that possible benefit of a Trump presidency.

The first time the UN tells us to pay something... say goodnight, Gracie.

The sky is falling according to Members of the European Parliament.

Quote:
As dawn broke over a shocked Brussels, a group of European MEPs warned that last night's astonishing Brexit vote will cause the EU to ‘crumble to pieces’ within the next five years.

Their statement came as Britain voted to leave the EU, contrary to all projections by pollsters, to the bewilderment of the Eurocrats in Brussels.

'This is the beginning of the end for the EU,' Peter Lundgren, an MEP from the far-Right Sweden Democrat party, told MailOnline. 'So many other countries will follow the UK. Europe will fall.'


The Eurosceptic MEPs from Sweden, Germany, Italy and France said a number of governments will now be under intense pressure to hold referendums of their own, and try to renegotiate their own individual deals.

This, they said, will lead to a ‘domino effect’ in the wake of Britain's trailblazing and unprecedented decision to leave the EU.

‘It’s just a matter of time,’ Lundgren said. ‘Britain has set a precedent. Other member states will follow and the whole thing will fall apart. It will happen very soon.’

Right on! When confronted with any sort of problems, 99.9% of them seem to elect "flight" instead of "fight."

If your car is dirty, a rational person decides to wash it. These idiots decide that someone else needs to buy them a new one.

Surprising the vote and result is described as astonishing - don't these nitwits follow the betting? It was deemed too close to call by many polls.....

It's a wake up call for the globalists, who may have to try another tactic to <continue to> enslave the masses. But make no mistake, they've got no shortage of game plans.

According to vox.com, the referendum was all about xenophobia.

Quote:
"There are two main political reasons [Brexit is coming to a vote]," Will Somerville, a senior fellow at the Migration Policy Institute, wrote before Thursday's vote. "The internal politics of a governing Conservative Party that has become increasingly Euroskeptic, and the anti-immigration-fueled rise of the UK Independence Party."

This immigration rhetoric has, without a doubt, dominated the pro-Leave side of the Brexit debate. Rhetoric from this camp’s supporters, over and over again, returns to the need to reduce immigration levels. "Many campaigners in favour of leaving the EU see immigration as their trump card," the Financial Times writes.

It is also, according to polling, their strongest issue with the public. A May 2016 poll found that 52 percent of Britons believe Brexit would improve the UK immigration system, while only 21 percent said remaining would do the same. Anti-EU voters tend to come either from the ranks of UKIP supporters or the right wing of the Conservative Party.

"The political leverage generated by UKIP and its successful construction of a narrative that blames deteriorating living standards on an ‘open door’ immigration policy — which, it asserts, is a condition of continuing EU membership — motivated Cameron to call the referendum," Ed Rooksby, an researcher at Oxford, writes in Jacobin.

"They have … transformed the referendum into a proxy plebiscite on immigration."

Alan Greenspan weighs in ...

http://www.cnbc.com/2016/06/24/alan-...e-iceberg.html

The former Fed chairman said that the root of the "British problem is far more widespread." He said the result of the referendum will "almost surely" lead to the Scottish National Party trying to "resurrect Scottish Independence."

Greenspan said the "euro currency is the immediate problem." While the euro and the euro zone were major steps in a movement toward European political integration, "it's failing," he said.

"Brexit is not the end of the set of problems, which I always thought were going to start with the euro because the euro is a very serious problem in that the southern part of the euro zone is being funded by the northern part and the European Central Bank," Greenspan said.

Part of the problem is that the "developed countries are all aging very rapidly," which is leading to a higher ratio of government spending in the form of entitlements, Greenspan said.

If this is only partially correct, the next president and congress could have the opportunity to leave a huge footprint in the future of America. All of the new trade agreement will be renegotiated. The middle east would have very little impact. (oil) It COULD mean a virtual reset for U.S. "safety nets." Could only happen if the politicians put country first instead of the "party." I know, wishful thinking.

Drumpf had his geographical, Foreign Affairs buffoonery on full display yesterday and why why the world world's laughing- at him!

"Trump said this week that he hadn't closely followed the so-called Brexit campaign but he supported the "Leave" movement.In a tweet on arrival, Trump said Scotland "is going wild over the vote. They took their country back." But Scotland had voted firmly to remain in the EU. "

Uhhh... Donnie, the Scots voted 62-38% to stay. You know Scotland; it's a different country! Oh right- you don't!

In fact... "Trump spent most of a 15-minute speech not talking about the referendum, but offering a detailed accounting of the renovations to the course. He played down concerns that the British economy would be hurt by the vote, suggesting his resort business could, in fact, benefit. "If the pound goes down, more people are coming to Turnberry," he said. "I think it could very well turn out to be a positive."

Yessir... when the going gets tough, Drumpf is out front, looking out for America- errr himself!

"He's not concerned with foreign policy, he's not concerned with the American people," said Clinton adviser Jake Sullivan. "He is concerned with himself and that's it."

And the Dow crashes -600+ response, in response to Trump's addled claim that the Brit economy wouldn't be hurt. He's a master of Foreign Affairs! Master dunce.

600 points is a drop in the bucket...barely a blip on the chart that's been going nowhere but up during the awesome Obama years...

Call me when it drops another 8500 points...then you might be onto something
