OT: American Politics

[lecoqsportif]

market has been ripping for days...big money doesn't believe Trump will add tariffs or cut trillions out of the budget

They are getting ready to finance transfer of public assets to oligarchs.

sadly I feel like Russia after Yeltsin is a pretty good analog for what may happen to America, its people, and its economy...

Polymarket has house control for D's at 3% with R's seats number with the highest chance as 220-224 at 39%.

Edit: Looks bugged. Looks like 220-224 closer to 70% based on the graph and other numbers they have.

one of the few honest Republicans we can trust.

They would rather take assets private and not have to deal with pesky BoGs or shareholders.

Ultimately, outside of carrying out a few personal vendettas, I don’t think Trump knows what he’s going to do, other than play golf, hold a lot of rallies, and talk shop with his fave dictators around the world

there is a certain amount of "politicians don't follow through on all their promises" mixed with "Trump lies all the time" anyways, so it's certainly possible.

Fly Guy won't care if it's pledging allegiance to the flag orange god

Politics aside, this parabolic structure in stocks has to break down at some point, right?

What do you think the presidential oath of office is?

Fingers crossed.

I think a lot of people would feel more reassured if they could hang on to at least one branch

not all oaths are created equal.

I have no problem with an oath to uphold the constitution.

but that's not what is being discussed - it's an oath of loyalty to trump. those are very different.

I support oaths to uphold the constitution, but not oaths of loyalty to one individual. what about you?

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Yes, let's trust Adam fucking Kinzinger lol

What did Kinzinger do other than refuse to jump on the Trump crazy train?

Seems like a pretty common sense position, and one I seriously doubt Kenzinger's rumor-mongering is contradicting

you're aware that part of Project 2025 is to reclassify federal civil servants as political appointees, fire them all, and replace them with Trump loyalists?
