Europe needs to sell all US Treasuries as soon as possible.
Keep the Trade Bazooka in reserve. (restricting access to the whole EU market.)

Yeah I mean, it kinda feels dramatic but also… not wrong? Like every time we turn on the news it’s just another self-own. We’re not getting “taken down” by some outside force, we’re just tripping over ourselves nonstop. Death by a thousand dumb decisions tbh.

All of this can be over *today* if a handful of members of Congress honor their oath and put country over party.

The USA is screwed. Everyone else is taking measures to ensure that they’re never going to have to take it seriously ever again.

[“self immolation” as far as I am aware is best known for its use in “peaceful” protest against severe injustice](https://www.buddhistinformation.com/self_immolation.htm). Pretty far off from what the fuck is being done by those who champion greed and sef-interest, and their hateful supporters

Maybe all countries in Europe need a nuclear weapon because of this threat from the USA. It can happen. Then he would shut up and leave us alone. I hate Donald Trump.

Even if he were to be removed via impeachment, constitutional purposes, etc. still wouldn’t change much. Americans have a massive issue all the way down the current administration.

the fucking funniest thing is it is completely and utterly self-inflicted.

We have decades of proof of exactly who he is.

False. We’re witnessing the consumption of a superpower by billionaires. They did this in Russia. They’re doing it in America.

We are witnessing the GOP’s 30-year plan. Outlined and discussed openly in front of cameras and microphones for 30 years. It involves the destruction of every right and protection that the US citizenry holds dear, everything that built this nation, to replace it with a despotic tyranny of the GOP control. We have reached the end stages. They have won. This is not an immolation, it’s a sedition because nobody had the guts to hold evildoers accountable for atrocities.

I know I’m preaching to the choir in here but this is completely idiotic on all our part that we have to go through this. We continuously trip ourselves and the rest of the world is not doing much better but by not punching themselves in the face they are getting on par or passing the US. It’s like watching your sport team just squander a insurmountable advantage by scoring on itself. The game not even actually lost but the general public seems to have been conditioned into losing all hope of recovering due to complicit media.

I can’t believe a superpower tore itself down by virtue of just being fucking psychotically antisocial. Most powerful nation on earth and in history and we blew it all for NOTHING! NOTHING TO SHOW FOR ANY OF IT!!!

I never imagined America would go down like this, it’s destroyed my mental health and faith in the concept of a nation united
The end of one thing is just the beginning of another however. I will always fight for the America I was grown up to believe in, we will never be able to go back but we can always become something better than we are.

It’s not self-immolation. It’s the direct result of years of Russian propaganda and information campaigns stoking divisions and driving Americans apart. This is the result of a hostile operation.

Thank god uncommitted sent that message to the DNC. Are we still blaming Dems without holding conservatives accountable? Tell me how this is all Biden’s fault and not Trump’s. Please. People need to get their shit together and actually vote and stop fucking around like it’s 2016.

Great headline. And we are.
This is not “greatness” for America. It is, profound, shame.
And for those who are shameless… let me break through to them this way. Your USD’s value is being decimated. Increasingly, destroyed.
Even if you think trump is “fun” and this is “fun…”
Let me assure you, your newfound poverty will not be.
