  that’s right lutnick, keep people guessing as the world dumps us bonds. this is it, people: the world’s richest economic powerhouse is tearing itself apart to satisfy the fantasies of a hate-filled dotard. the collapse of the us is the most spectacular self immolation in history.

    That bond situation is crazy. The US is standing on the precipice and the Trump administration doesn’t even realize it.

    Absolutely. It makes me crazy that people can’t imagine what the consequences of American isolation will be. We built this position and lifestyle over generations, and every single other administration including his was smart enough not to fuck with it

      That would sum it up nicely; however, It’d be unfair to not mention the 77 million Americans that voted for this clown, the 90 million people who neglected their right & responsibility to vote, and the 75 million americans who voted against him.

      Voting matters…until it doesn’t.

    I mean, it’d have to be pretty impressively fucked up to outdo Brexit. So far, it is!

  Anything can be decided, paused, changed, revoked, reinstated, abandoned and never spoken about again at any time now.

  Of course it might. And the percentages are all subject to variation depending on who wants to buy and sell stock at the time.
