Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I'd really like to know what these fucking morons plan to do when they tank the USD.
This is the thing I love about all this .... billionaires don't have a nationality and have no allegiance to any nation .... in fact, they believe that nations should have allegiance to them.
I have a friend who likes to talk politics all the time and he keeps repeating like a mantra ... the Americans did this, the Americans did that, America, America ... and I keep correcting him, it's not Americans, it's just a bunch of billionaires directing the show to get what they want.
It's really weird because it's a well known conspiracy, an open secret, a true lie ..... it's not an organized cabal or an evil mastermind ... it's just a bunch of billionaires that want to control everything and everyone so that they can keep making more money. And they really don't care of they are American, British, French, German, Japanese, Chinese, Russian, Indian, Brazilian, or whatever .... all they care about is money and they get to the point in life and wealth that they have so much money that their nationality no longer matters.
And herein lies the problem. The absolutism of removing any and all responsibility from the American public. Anything to avoid looking in the mirror I suppose.
They don't have to worry once all the Dogecoin they bought for $0.002 is now worth $69
There are two ways crypto goes up in dollar value: the crypto is intrinsically worth more, or the dollar is intrinsically worth less
Hahahah I think you spelled "when they all fall victim of a pump and dump schemes, again" wrong
No, the Broligarchs don't have to worry, because they have enough liquidity that they will be the ones pumping and dumping. It's all the plebes who listen to their podcasts and invest In the "next big thing" that will be holding the bag.
Ah yeah, I forgot who we were talking about exactly. You right
Most of their net worth is in assets, not dollars.
Guess what they do hold in dollars? Debt.
And what happens to debt when the dollar tanks?
