I'll endeavour to find out what the heck a crypto currency reserve is. As taxpayers guaranteeing the value of your investment in a named crypto currency is too absurd for words.

Country is going end up bankrupt.

This is not the behaviour of a rational man. Even Trump I wouldn't have behaved like this.

Umm...

Donald Trump supporters lose $12,000,000,000 after his meme coin collapses

Having a Federal Reserve based on electronic woo might not be such a good idea.

Memecoin and crypto-currency are different things, but nevertheless, yep.

All sounds like one big con, to me

But imagine the winning when you rug-pull the entire federal reserve.

Trump "pauses" military aid to Ukraine.

Things have just got worse.

One of the more depressing things to consider is that however this turns out, Trump will try to spin it as a win, and morons will accept it.

If by cutting off aid, it leads to the end of NATO, and Europe picking up and forming their own defence body (UK involvement optional), he says he wins - America's no longer paying for the feckless old country. Shock treatment for sure, but it worked.

If Ukraine goes under, he carves it up with Putin. Yay, win.

The rest of the world boycotts the Olympics, ups the tariffs, and economically and culturally isolates the USA - so what, losers? We don't need you. U-S-A! U-S-A!

Basically any option that doesn't end with him in a ditch, on fire, and screaming - he'll call it a win.

Trump in a ditch, on fire, and screaming.

Ahhhh, what a lovely vision.

Just wondering what opinion polls in the USA are like right now. Specifically, to what extent is "buyer's remorse" kicking in now that Murrikan voters can see what having Trump 2.0 and Project 2025 is actually like.

I'd google, but some of you chaps might already know.

Apologies for the link to Spiked, but I think at least the first part of this piece is on the money:

Morons aside, US economic and geo political strategisers must be aghast moving the pieces around. How does the US military industrial strategy survive if America no longer have any clients? There's no reason why Asian allies like Japan would want to to rely on US hardware and technology (the price of which rises) if they could partner with more reliable allies in Europe and the Americas.
Argentina was one of the wealthiest countries at the beginning of the 20th century and was seen as a rising power to rival the US as top dog in the Americas. Then it took a peculiar turn when a cabal of corrupt oligarchs and authoritian populist morons very quickly turned the country into a political and economic joke more closely aligned to fascist powers than democracies in Europe. The collapse didn’t take long.

The morons will, but he got a lot of votes from non-lunatics, because real incomes did very well in his first term. No economic genius to it. Congressional Republicans just squeezed the life out of the Obama economy, before taking the brakes off and getting away with inflation not spiking.

Today in Wondering About Trump :

The phrase "A heartbeat away from the presidency" .

"JD" Vance is supposedly considerably more intelligent than The Donald.

Simple question : What the fuck is Vance up to ?

He wants Russia to win, same as Trump, Musk and Thiel do. He hates Europe (apart from AfD, Zemmour and Hungary) as being not manly. They also see US forces like that when a Democrat president is in charge.

Keeping in with the boss (whoever that is) and waiting to take over as President.

Actual Commerce Secretary of the United States.
