    Maybe we should wait until after the election. Would make it harder to ban all Muslims from entering.

    Besides, President Trump would negotiate much better terms for us. We could probably keep the Muslim ban and join the EU with President Trump heading the negotiations.

    That's already happening either way, and Donald isn't even putting up any of his own money!

    He must already know that being president is just going to slow him down.

    Are you kidding! He's high energy, not like JEB!

    Don't you see the way he's up and tweeting at dawn? What other candidate has that kind of energy?

    Every time I visit a big city, I'm shocked they don't have screens on their apartment or condo windows. Maybe it's the Southerner in me, but I couldn't open a window unless it had a screen on it due to mosquitoes, flies, bees, etc.

    Any move toward a united Ireland at this point would probably touch off a civil war, or The Troubles II if you'd prefer.

    To piggyback on that: if Ireland were unified and remained in the EU, that would require border/passport controls for anyone traveling to what remains of the U.K. The British unionists in the north are pissed that the Union Jack isn't flown 365 days a year, imagine if they needed a passport to fly to Manchester?

    At this point, yes. But the GB minister for Northern Ireland, a Leave champion, said there would be no way Northern Ireland or Scotland could retain any relationship with the EU. Since that membership is one of the mainstays (open border) of the peace process, the deck may be reshuffled. In Belfast on Friday, the post office ran out of its applications for Irish passports. That's folks voting with their feet. It is possible, not likely but possible, Northern Irelanders could see a united Ireland as a better means of peace than remaining British. The Republic of Ireland is a lot less dominated by the Church than it was even back in the late '90s.

    Very true. I just don't think the society there is ready for it. Remain got 56% of the vote in NI. It's not like it was a rout. The biggest party in NI was on the side of Leave.
