Canadian here. I think every country should be preparing for war against the US. I don’t see the US as anyone’s ally anymore. Except maybe Russia. ☹️

So we should trust RFK Jr. who has zero scientific knowledge or background? Isn’t that a feature of totalitarianism, as he alludes to?
Paul Conquest (@paulconquest.bsky.social) reply parent
… but ultimately, he got on the tЯ☭mp train to personally get ahead. This highlights the fundamental problem in politics today: greed and self-interest on steroids.
Paul Conquest (@paulconquest.bsky.social) reply parent
Greed and self-interest have been the underpinnings of the American way for decades, but now it’s on steroids.

It shouldn't be up to American children to save each other from getting shot. It's the job of American adults to stop shootings from happening in the first place. Ban assault weapons again now.

After a mass shooting, it doesn’t matter if the shooter was gay, straight, bisexual, transgender, or a pterodactyl. What matters is they all had access to guns.

“He is who he is”, referring to tЯ☭mp, is absolutely true. Unfortunately he’s a liar, but authentically so! And lying works if the people listening are not too well educated. Not sure if that’s really genius.

I think it would be hard to prevent anyone with a foreign passport from leaving, but there could be a tax on assets held by foreigners (especially non-business assets), tax on deemed disposition, or even seizure / forfeiture of assets held by foreigners. As in, you can leave but without your money.

This will accelerate tanking of the USD. Won’t happen overnight, but it will definitely happen if you install incompetent people to manage it. tЯ☭mp has said he wants a lower USD, although that is not good the the American people who are quite reliant on imported food and consumables.
