I hope not, but hon, all the verbal high-fiving and happiness surrounding these dire "predictions" say otherwise.

No, it's a response to you "smiling" when you post bad news.
Methinks thou seem to LIKE bad news far too much.

Sour grapes for cheering on our nation and hoping things get better???

This just gets...weirder and weirder.

Ah well. Whatever. At least if this nation tanks and falls into the sea or what-have-you, a few people here will be giggling allllllll the way down and gurgling, "I tollllld you so!"

As for me: I'm rooting for this nation. Always have. Whether "my" candidate won a presidency or not. I mean really, people...this is ugly...this is sick.

Shame on you.

Before you began with your strawman, please tell me where I said that I wanted the US to fail? One is never allowed to use it as a fallback when I'm right because, well, I just never said it.

Well, considering your lousy track record so far, he's more likely to exist than your predictions are to come true.

Wow, so dramatic. America won't "fall into the sea". It'll just suffer a severe recession or depression. Plenty of people will still do well, myself included.
