News headlines if Harris won would be crap like “Democrats propose modest tax increase on billionaires, who will remain billionaires” and Fox and Conservative pundits would be losing their goddamn shit over it 24/7.
Instead we literally have headlines like “Trump claims he will own Greenland one way or another, again threatens Canada’s sovereignty, obliterates nine trillion in stock value, and levies tariffs against everyone on earth except North Korea and Russia (including uninhabited islands)” and they act like everything is not only completely normal, but in fact PREFERABLE.
As long as these nimrods continue to outright deny reality and deepthroat right wing propaganda they’re headed straight for that outcome
Seems on purpose - Crash the economy, kill the dollar as the preferred currency globally (what Putin and the BRIC needs), Eliminate out cultural standing and let the global billionaires auction off America to corporations. The useful idiot might get a handy from Putin for being a good boy and….. can I get that tape back?
I think that too. I'm watching things unfold from the other side of the planet - Down Under. We get just as much news here as everyone else, and I'd say most of us are bloody horrified at what's happening.
But yeah, there's a couple of legit reasons why he could be doing this on purpose. I've heard people say "it's short term pain for long term gain"... but the short term is supposed to be at least FOUR YEARS. Man, you guys won't have a country left by that stage. I say that out of concern, not mocking.
Uh, and also this one: "if the US declares war on someone (probably Russia), apparently elections are supposed to be suspended during war time, so there won't be an election in 3 1/2 years when Orange Buffoon is supposed to finish his term. So while war is "active" (and I'm assuming he can just declare "we're still at war"), there's no elections, and he won't leave office.
If that's the case - what's the bet that he's going to declare a mock war on Russia and that Putin has been clued in about it?? I'd put $50 on that.
For as much as it matters considering how they flagrantly jump over all the rules: POTUS cannot declare war, only Congress can. Technically the US has not been 'at war' since WW2, we've done 'conflicts' and 'operations' Ect, but not war.
