As a Portuguese all I can say is that politicians here, while crooks just the same, do not say the shit he says openly,

As to voting,,,,

First David Duke and now this:

Quote:Trump receives endorsement from Jean-Marie Le Pen, founder of France’s racist National Front

Yes!

I would if I could.

Wait! I thought this said "Shoot Donald Trump"

Never mind.

I keep hearing this about Le Pen, but nothing I've seen yet seems that racist. I don't know much about this person, but do you have some quotes for me to look at?

That might be a plus IF he knew anything what so ever about current international events and or history.   Or if he had any positive plans not involving hatred. Or if any of his plans is workable.

Exactly. Precisely.

Lucky you, if true. I guess, France, Holland, Belgium or even my small Austria would disagree when it comes to their own politicians. Not to speak of Hungary, Poland or Czechoslovakia, where loud mouthed idiots already run the asylum.

So, how often have you used them? Say, in comparison to a screwdriver or a hammer? Maybe a drill?

Today's tool use scorecard:

• Shotgun: 100 times
  
• Drill: 0 times
  
• Screwdriver: 0 times
  
• Hammer: 0 times
  
• Saw: 0 times
  
• Knife: 0 times
  
• etc.
  

So, I gather, it's not a tool for you, but something else. Unless you had a home invasion by a whole company that is.

A nuclear apocalypse would also "shake things up". That doesn't mean it's desirable.

I believe the Presidency to be the least important branch. Congress is where the efforts should be focused. Trump cannot do much damage without the backing of Congress and the Supreme Court. And congress can do just as much damage as they have in the past, regardless of the President.

Trump would break the train of lawyers and politicians and in the long run, it might be a good thing. American politics was never intended to be a career choice, but rather a representation of the people.
