For the fifth time in about a month, Iranian fast-attack craft have harassed US Navy ships with "unsafe and unprofessional" maneuvers at sea in the gulf between Saudi Arabia and Iran.

If Hillary is elected, the House and Senate will spend $250m on Emailgate, to find nada while Atlanta drowns, New Jersey disappears and everybody get's free lead in their drinking water

In the second year, the House and Senate will spend $500m investigating Bengazi, for nothingburger, while Dallas disappears in the worlds largest frackquake, and China and Russia finish the worlds largest HSRS, moving 50% of the worlds shipping, onto rail.

In the 3rd year, the House and Senate will spend $750m investigating the 90 "Vince Foster" murders, while Apple moves to China, Silicon Valley dries up and blows away, negative interest rates hit -7.98%, and the EU negotiates a new Union with Russia and China.

In the 4th year, the US House and Congress spend $1billion investigating Whitewater, yet again, for more nothingburger, while the NORK's take control of the South, the Saudi's die in an inbred orgy/mass murder combo, Unemployment in the US hit's a 94%, and like Texas now, the US leads the World in Mortality rates.

Sadly, under Trump, the US doesn't even last 6 months.
