    “Funny” thing with all that is that what makes the US debt bearable is the dollar being held up by US soft power. Thanks to Trump everyone is slowly (or quickly for some) reducing their dependency on the dollar. Guess what happens next?

      It’s almost like donnie is doing everything possible to destroy America.

      Though I’m told by the moral scolds and the Tone Police that Russiagate is a “hoax”.

        Honestly, look at the people who voted for him and look at his dementia and his general contempt for anyone but himself. The Russia thing may or may not be true, but either answer does not absolve US citizens of their responsibility in how this has all unfolded.

      The dollar collapses, the people lose trust in the dollar, and the capitalists come up with a genius new idea: corporate backed currency! Walmart cashiers get paid in wal-bucks! (redeemable only at Walmart and walmart-operated businesses).

      You mine sixteen tons, what do you get? Freedom from government-backed currency oppression, that’s what!
