    Hearing the GOP fall silent on Post-Soviet Russian Aggression would have both Reagan and my grandfather rolling in their graves…

        Yeah and reagan started the fall with deficits. Before that controlling the debt was a conservative thing. They have abandoned everything except tax cuts and deregulation.

        Which is the part that I really don’t get; How fucking dumb do you have to be to think you will still be rich and powerful after the Dollar is worth nothing? Not to mention what’s going to happen to Judges and Congresspersons when they become useless to the administration.

          I think the teach tech bros think they have enough bitcoin that they’ll come out ahead in the event of a dollar collapse.

          I think they’re wrong.

      All things come to an end. Even the US

      The crazy thing is the person who told me this as a child doesn’t recognize that it’s happening right now

      Maybe it’s the plastic in our brains? I swear humanity is getting noticeably stupider year over year

        Yeah I honestly think we should pass a law that says any campaign donation needs to have a name on it. I don’t care if 2000 people donate to a super pac and a company sticks it’s name on it, or if all 2000 people are identified, but anonymously giving people money is a no go for private citizens EVEN IF IT”S NOT TAXABLE
