This. Like climate change, the damage is building every day. We need decisive change NOW to not hit rock bottom. But Congress is more worried about their investment portfolios than the Constitution (idiots --they will end up losing both). The Cabinet is shrapnel, and SCOTUS is living in slo-mo VR. |
Stop what? PP just pointed out the news. |
Pp is correct. American hegemony is over. The result of that will directly and significantly reduce our standard of living. Combine that with defunding science research and MAHA, our life expectancies will continue to decline. |
OMG. When will the GOP get off their butts and remove this monster????????? |
| This trexit or repexit |

In the past, the term to describe him would be megalomaniac
“Megalomania is an obsession with power, wealth, fame, and a passion for grand schemes.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megalomania |
What do you mean? They have done everything they can to guarantee this result. The only other thing they could do would be to have a resolution supporting the taking of Greenland be force. |
It's too late. The United States has a two party system. The entire world knows there will be a Republican administration every 4-8 years. The GOP has nominated Trump three times. They are all in with the nihilism and the gangster imperialism. That is the modern Republican Party. And it makes the US radioactive. Nobody can sign agreements with the US knowing that the next Republican will tear everything apart again. I think Carney's speech was very thoughtful. There has been a rupture in the international order. And nostalgia is not a strategy. There is no choice for countries but to decouple from the US and form new alliances and trade pacts. No Democrat can stop where the world is trending, which is to isolate the US as they do with Russia. In the end, China is the big winner in the new world - courtesy of the Republican Party. |
A suicide pact so widespread it makes Jonestown look like Playmobils. |
India will also have a bigger voice. Wouldn’t count out the EU either which is investing heavily in R&D. Trump has been a wake up call. And for anyone who thought he could be appeased, today put that notion to rest. Now that no one needs to be hampered by kowtowing to the tech bros, the U.S. defense and service industries and big pharma, it should be interesting. |
Trump would charge you for the kool-aid |
Not if China assumes leadership. China increased it grid by 5% and reduced emissions by 6%. China’s grid is 4 times the US grids. Their exports of electrification is actually allowing the rest of the world to reduce greenhouse emissions. Even the Saudis are doing it. Why burn fossil fuels to generate power when you can make it with solar for free and sell the fuel to the US. The US under republicans is stuck in the 1950’s |
NATO countries without the US have a GDP of 27 trillion and a population of 610 million. I do not understand where people are buying the republican narrative that Europe is weak. Do you really think Russia with 1/5 of the population and a 1/14 of the GDP will dominate Europe? European NATO(without the US) could easily build out a military that could defeat the US military. Remember the US can’t even replace the missiles used to save Israel from Iran. We used up a 1/3 of the missiles in under 8 days. Russia is the odd country out trapped between China and Nato(without the US). |
+1 Biggest takers in American history. |
Shush, you aren’t allowed to point out the president is a total moron |
