President Lyndon B. Johnson owned an amphibious car....

American president Lyndon B. Johnson owned an amphibious car (a car that could drive on water). He would use it to scare guests by driving them into his lake while screaming about brake failure.

"Johnson would get his guest and drive down a steep incline toward the lake on his ranch, pretend to lose control, and then yell, "The brakes don't work! We're going in! We're going under!" The car would splash into the lake, and as everyone else was screaming, Johnson would be doubled over laughing."

Psychiatric hospitals filling up with time travellers sent back to kill Donald Trump


Psychiatric facilities across the United States are at breaking point after the number of people claiming to be sent from the future to stop Donald Trump reached epidemic proportions.

New research has shown that every ten minutes someone claiming to the from the future sent back to save humanity is admitted to a hospital somewhere in the US.

“We’re struggling to cope to be honest. We’re constantly booking people in who’ve been arrested before telling police they are on a secret mission from the future, and have to save the world” said Dr. Simon Williams.

“It used to be ‘I’m Napoleon’ – but not any more.

“To say you’ve been sent from the future to stop Donald Trump is a very unusual psychological delusion, especially to be suffered by so many people, with such a similar stated aim.

Robert Reich’s sobering message for wealthy elites: You’ll soon be poor if you keep screwing over

Workers (This really goes for the Corporate shills of Both parties)

You are the captains of American industry, the titans of Wall Street, and the billionaires who for decades have been the backbone of the Republican Party.

You’ve invested your millions in the GOP in order to get lower taxes, wider tax loopholes, bigger subsidies, more generous bailouts, less regulation, lengthier patents and copyrights and stronger market power allowing you to raise prices, weaker unions and bigger trade deals allowing you outsource abroad to reduce wages, easier bankruptcy for you but harder bankruptcy for homeowners and student debtors, and judges who will let you to engage in insider trading and who won’t prosecute you for white-collar crimes.

All of which have made you enormously wealthy. Congratulations.

But I have some disturbing news for you. You’re paying a big price – and about to pay far more.

First, as you may have noticed, most of your companies aren’t growing nearly as fast as they did before the Great Recession. Your sales are sputtering, and your stock prices are fragile.

Canadian island invites Americans to escape there should Trump win presidency

(Since we are looking at a Potential Trump Presidency)

he rise of Donald Trump has given an unlikely boost to a Canadian island offering to take in Americans as political refugees if the Republican real estate mogul wins the White House.

Cape Breton Island, off the tip of the Nova Scotia peninsula on Canada’s Atlantic coast, has put out a welcome mat for anyone unable to stomach a Trump presidency.


A local radio disc jockey hatched the idea, designing a website linked to the local tourist bureau to provide an escape for Canada’s wary neighbors to the south.

“Don’t wait until Donald Trump is elected president to find somewhere else to live!” says the site.

“Start now, that way, on election day, you just hop on a bus to start your new life in Cape Breton, where women can get abortions, Muslim people can roam freely, and the only ‘walls’ are holding up the roofs of our extremely affordable houses.”

Trump scoops up angry, disillusioned voters

Donald Trump wins, wins, wins, just as he said he would. From ultra-conservative fringes to the Republican mainstream, the White House hopeful is assembling a formidable coalition of angry voters that could carry him to the party nomination in July.

“So we won the evangelicals. We won with young. We won with old. We won with highly educated. We won with poorly educated; I love the poorly educated,” Trump exulted Tuesday night after his victory in the Nevada caucuses, accurately citing the findings of entrance polls there.

“Of course, if you listened to the pundits, we weren’t expected to win too much and now we’re winning, winning, winning the country. And soon, the country is going to start winning, winning, winning.”

Trump’s chances of accomplishing that are better now that he has shown he is not just a single faction candidate.
He has won nominating contests in three very different states: New Hampshire, where more than a quarter of voters described themselves as “moderates;” South Carolina, where three quarters of voters were evangelical Christians; and Nevada, where 15 percent of voters were “non whites,” the highest proportion of minorities to date in the primaries.
