What's going on with the US stock market lately?

A rather good analogy. The right is just too ignorant and under informed to see the similarities.
Ron... People voted brexit believing that after leaving EU, 350m (from savings) would be given to the NHS every week. This was openly admitted to be false information by the next campaigners, and there will be no such money.
It was also assumed that on the day of brexit it will be on ideal exit terms with UK having control of what it does with its borders, regulations, and justice. In theory, voters voted for a type of brexit that does not exist. There are no such controls, and EU will dictate. Instead of voting brexit, voters should be presented with what brexit means, and should be allowed to vote on that.

Voters are stupid. The top search in the UK AFTER the Brexit vote was "what is the EU?" Stupid is as stupid does.

Thanks for your insight and assesment of my “ignorance”.
Yeah the left analogy of Hitler is real smart. LMAO
So we have now seen the rationalization of why Brexit should’nt count by claiming Russian subterfuge, the stupidity of the electorate, the de-legitimization of the vote for a host of other reasons, the Hitler analogy, the ignorance of the right and of course the ever used “copy and paste” propaganda using one sided articles taken from the net to prove the point.
Hilarious

Agreed. They have sold their soul (or what was left of it) to make "America Great Again." Luckily, due to demographic changes, it's the last grasp of the American Taliban.
Let me add to the stupidity of the Progressive perspective, “The American Taliban” and “lost souls” to the list of absurdities I previously denoted.
Thanks for the additions jeffrey_t
The more you guys post the more you prove to be what you claim the other side to be.

We agreed via PM to not comment on each others posts. But honestly it's no surprise that you couldn't keep to an agreement. 100% deplorable scumbag.
I take your attack as a compliment. The Hillary Waters compliment. Thanks.
LMAO
I agreed to nothing.
As a newer member here who found this topic on the “What’s New” page and thought I might find some interesting thoughts on the stock market, I just thought I’d say the level of on-topic discussion over the last two pages (as far back as I decided to go) is absolutely pathetic.

Welcome to WBF ngamountains!
Sorry you had to see a food fight in the kitchen on your first day here.
A valid point Ron but in short because leaving the EU, particularly without a deal, would be so damaging to the UK economy and peoples's jobs, and those who voted to leave would then blame the politicians rather than themselves with further serious damage to our political system.
Indeed, there are concerning parallels with what happened in Germany after Hitlers's election as Chancellor when he brutally coerced German MPs into supporting the transfer of huge powers from their parliament to to himself and the German judiciary sat on their hands.
Happily both our counties have a robust independent judiciary.the value of which cannot be underestimated, and the value of which is recognised by the EU as exemplified by the EU's current disputes with Poland and Hungary.
The position in the UK is a mess and the concerns extend way beyond any political elites but I remain confident that common sense will prevail. It will probably be a messy process which we will muddle through and not for the first time.
Hitler seems to be the new poster child for you Progressives. What is it with that?? Was he a vinyl guy??
Ron you are being way too kind
jeffrey_t calling me a “100% deplorable scumbag who IS the swamp and therefore enjoys being called scum” is, I think, an insult to the great “food fight” scene made famous in Animal House.
But may I request that we leave his viscious insults as is for posterity?

Thank you for your gracious opening, but I am afraid I have to disagree with the above.
One of the primary roles of the United States Supreme Court is to protect individuals, whose liberties are guaranteed to them by the Bill of Rights in the Constitution of the United States, against the popular, majority will of the legislature. In America if two wolves vote to eat the lamb, the Supreme Court steps in and invokes the Bill of Rights to protect the lamb.
Unfortunately (from an individual liberty point of view) for English subjects, and the people in all majority rule systems with no structural judicial protection for political minorities, which is most countries in Western Europe, the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom (established only in 2009) has no jurisdiction to protect political minorities from tyranny by parliamentary majorities. In majority rule systems such as the United Kingdom if two wolves vote to eat the lamb, then the lamb is history.
The focus by the political culture and the political system of the United States on the rights of the individual represents the sharpest difference in political philosophy between America and Western European democracies. The failure to recognize and to understand this fundamental difference in political philosophy helps to explain why Western Europeans often are baffled by the machinations of the political and the judicial systems in America.
(Tom, thank you very much for your immediately preceding post enforcing the ban on political discussion. I apologize for getting somewhat close to the line in my own posts on this thread.
Please know that I consider this post to be purely of a comparative political science nature, and to not be in the nature of the political discussion we proscribe on WBF.)
