    It is hilarious how overconfident US conservatives are here, the US is a collapsing empire what leverage do we have to do anything but speed up de-dollarization?

    I mean I know Trump’s body is a dumpster about to collapse any moment from decades of cocaine and BK burgers, he doesn’t care, but this is clearly disaster capitalism, classic Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein shit.

    Republicans clearly want to pump and dump the entire US economy, damn the consequences, consequences are for people not blessed by God.

      From the beginning, we had three Sociopathic Oligarchs (well, two actual ones, and one wannabe), two from foreign nations with no loyalty to America, and one psychopathic American who literally cares about nothing but greed and his own endless hate, all viewing America as a fat, lazy, RICH target to be exploited into the ground.

      This isn’t even new behavior for Trump, he’s done this many times before. He sees America the same way he saw his casinos - as bank accounts to fully drain, and then walk away with all the money, as the casino, or in this case, country, collapses.

      Oh we can totally fix our problems, but it is going to require sacrifice and a lot of creativity.

      These jokers can only see extracting as much as they can like the blood suckers they are. They are incapable of thinking of the future and unfit to lead their own family, let alone a country.

        Only psychopaths would destroy the nation that created, supports, and protects them, but that’s MAGA for you.

        Ultimately, we will be saved by their own virtuosic incompetence, but the question remains as to how much damage they will do before they spool out enough rope to hang themselves.
