If the Democrats were as good as they still seem to think they are; if Clinton was a good as she still thinks she is, Donald Trump would not be president. Why doesn't that simple reason for Trump's election get through the thick skulls of Democrats and their supporters?

There is no point in rubbishing Trump. Clinton and the Democrats are just no damn good.

how dare the dreadful deplorables question the corrupt,lying liberal media and democrats who are experts in identity politics that divides a nation in everyway possible. personally I think the average member of the nra is miles ahead of the hollywood deviants who support the likes of Maxine Waters and Pochahontis who had to lie about her background in order to get plum jobs with academia. Thankfully the genie is out of the bottle and those accusing Trump of being nazi like have been exposed as the anti semitic bigits they really are.

Do you live in a high rise Canem Malum? Your answer indicates little experience with stock.

If you are going to have chickens & goats, you are going to need a lot of strong fencing wire & posts, if you want to have a garden as well.

I think watching reruns of "The Bush Tucker Man" might become necessary in this scenario.

Answer- Thanks for your feedback Hasbeen- I understand that you have a good understanding of the subject matter. I have some understanding of chickens less about goats and I do appreciate that putting vegetables within eye-sight of goats is likely to make veggies mysteriously vanish. I enjoy building fences but I'm sure they aren't up to your high standards- I have a very useful "star dropper driver" (usually I buy 7' droppers at the ag store) that I keep around along with a 200 metre spool of barbed wire. At any rate if (as NathanJ prognosticated in his thread) the price of food underwent extreme inflation this it seems that the best option would be to learn how to grow my own food. Then I could benefit twice!

If you have any advise for a budding "prepper" I'm sure you are very knowledgeable. Generally I'm good with tools

""The eight-year assault on your Second Amendment freedoms has come to a crashing end," Trump told the annual National Rifle Association convention, part of a drumbeat of events designed to herald his 100th day in office on Saturday. "You have a true friend and champion in the White House."

So that puts him in the NRA's pocket. Ho! Hum!

The second amendment to the US Constitution states:

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

I have absolutely no objection to a member of a well regulated militia keeping and bearing arms. I see no reason why anybody else should keep and bear arms unless it is essential to their employment such as a policeman, soldier etc.

Canem Malum I had a neighbour who was pretty good in his veggie patch. He had a 6Ft high fence around it, but discovered his damn chooks could fly. He got rid of his chooks, amid much grumbling. Incidentally it is bird wire, not barbed wire you use to keep birds out.

Then the damn wood ducks discovered his veggie patch. He tried scare crows, even with moving arms, he tied his cattle dogs up either side of the patch. He had a kite thing looking like a hawk, but finally he had to build a wire netting roof over the thing. That sort of worked, but they still got in from time to time.

He grumbled loud & long about the stupidity of protecting destructive wild life like cockatoos & wood ducks, to no avail of course.

He finally down sized his garden to a 1m X 2m greenhouse thing, in which he grew much less, but did get to eat what he grew.

We gave up on almost all fruit & vegetables years ago. We are down to a Brazilian grape & a couple of Dragon fruit, both of which can be covered by netting & do not attract fruit fly.
