FDR declared war on Japan because of Pearl Harbor. Germany was the one who dragged the U.S. into Europe by invoking their alliance with Japan.

Before Pearl, FDR was also doing everything to help Britain short of actually shooting at Germans.

You can't "rig" a system which was specifically engineered over the last century to be precisely the kind of system it is now.

What the fuck do you think Trump can do in 4 to 8 years that can make the U.S. collapse?


Haven't some people argued that the repeal of Glass-Steagall in 1999 was the start and the trigger of a massive period of deregulation that almost certainly lead to the global economic meltdown that began in 2007.

Which (if my maths hasn't deserted me this late at night) is a period of just about eight years or so?

Yes, Clinton truly has a chance if the electoral college would just vote with their hearts.

I don't think supporters of this movement fully understand the consequences. Not only would Hillary Clinton refuse the presidency if she won this way, but even if she did try, that would almost certainly cause a civil war and permanently undo American democracy. You think Republicans will just say "oh, well, the Electoral College has spoken! I guess Hillary is president"? I wept when Hillary lost but this is an idiotic idea.

And there is plenty to blame for the 2007 crisis.

But that has nothing to do with his business acumen, really.
Also, a loan of a million dollars is not a massive amount of money, especially in the New York real estate business.

Also, he's refused to take a salary as president.

Seems like the least he could do.

Actually, false.

The US was actually pretty isolationist in the early-mid 1900's, that includes WWI (We were attacked by Germany) and WWII (Japan attacked us and Germany declared war on us). Also, so what if he couldn't walk? At least he had prior governmental experience.

Just look at who his picks for his cabinet and VP are. Trump supporters got out of this a very, very hollow victory.
