    Yeah, I don't think Conservatives are living in the realm of reality. The creators of deficit spending were the GOP. When W. was POTUS, I couldn't tell the difference between him and any other run of the mill liberal.

    It won't take very long to get them home but it won't be overnight either but Iraq says they can't stay and they are coming home just like Trump said.

    When exactly, so I can prepare?

    Do what you need to do. Personally I'm buying as much gold as I can.. The crash will happen eventually and its going to be BIG. Don't let the mania of the crowds deceive you (stock market etc). This is a classic boom/bust scenario.

    Gold is okay, but you cannot eat it. If it is global lots of people will be hurting, it is better to prepare in other ways, IMHO.

    I get that but if everyone is hurting gold isn't going to help. Bartering has been done for a long time, and when people need something in exchange for something tangible, like; food, clean water, services--etc...

    So many of the conservative pundits have been praising the speech. Their main praise is that it was so moving, and that they cried. Get these guys a box of tissues, and some ice cream. They need to watch a drama on the Lifetime network, not the State of the Union Address.

    Pelosi is on video pre-tearing the papers long before the speech ended and practicing it under the table. Scripted nonsense to keep the drama distractions going. There's more USMCA type bills to be passed and signed so can't have people paying attention to what Congress is actually doing.

    For a person who claims to oppose socialism, President Trump spent a lot of time in his SOTU address touting central planning, federal intervention in nonfederal matters, and a big-government spending spree—policies that threaten our rights and undermine our long-term prosperity.

    "We have set them on the hobby-horse of an idea about the absorption of individuality by the symbolic unit of COLLECTIVISM. They have never yet and they never will have the sense to reflect that this hobby-horse is a manifest violation of the most important law of nature, which has established from the very creation of the world one unit unlike another and precisely for the purpose of instituting individuality."- A Quote From Some Old Book

    State worship would be using the rules of the state and the state apparatus to make government bigger and more powerful. This is precisely the opposite.

    TL;DR

    Leftist demagogue at podium says "bleep bloop blop," whereupon leftist demagogue #2, feigning anger, tears some pieces of paper.

    Partisans of said leftist demagogues proceed to charge one another (correctly) with unprincipled, hypocritical swinery.
