      that’s right lutnick, keep people guessing as the world dumps us bonds. this is it, people: the world’s richest economic powerhouse is tearing itself apart to satisfy the fantasies of a hate-filled dotard. the collapse of the us is the most spectacular self immolation in history.

        That bond situation is crazy. The US is standing on the precipice and the Trump administration doesn’t even realize it.

        Absolutely. It makes me crazy that people can’t imagine what the consequences of American isolation will be. We built this position and lifestyle over generations, and every single other administration including his was smart enough not to fuck with it

        In 10 years, or less, when books on the fall of the American empire, this picture should be used as the reason:

          That would sum it up nicely; however, It’d be unfair to not mention the 77 million Americans that voted for this clown, the 90 million people who neglected their right & responsibility to vote, and the 75 million americans who voted against him.

          Voting matters…until it doesn’t.

              I’m not sure what you mean with intentional, but intentional as in they have built pipes out of lead, yes.

        I mean, it’d have to be pretty impressively fucked up to outdo Brexit. So far, it is!

      Of course it might. And the percentages are all subject to variation depending on who wants to buy and sell stock at the time.

        Even if he did, how could you tell the difference between the holes dementia has made and the holes a worm would make?
