OT: American Politics

I can't say that I'm cheering for it, more like ambivalent. I'm not sure if normal politics, like people knowing Trump is responsible for the incoming collapse of the country, really matters that much anymore. We'll see at mid terms if it matters I guess.

Will prob take longer to see full impact and undue what Biden did to turn around the economy

Just watched Vance drool over getting Greenland for their natural resources. Not very reassuring as a Canadian.

We definitely shouldn’t look to the couch-fucking Heritage Foundation Christofascist for any hope or help on anything.

I assume his plan is to put Mike Pence’s Trump sycophancy to shame. And to say and do literally whatever is necessary to stay in the best possible good graces of Trump and his base at all times.

If they actually went for it...would Europe do anything about it?

There might be some muted, impotent noises of disapproval from Britain, since we’re nominally ruled by the same rich, sausage-fingered, inbred German aristocrat as them.

And maybe there would be an attempt to pass a UN resolution condemning the invasion…which would then get vetoed by the US, Russia & China.

So, nothing pretty much.

I actually meant Greenland, since it's a Danish territory and they're part of the EU.

I was thinking of less esoteric canaries (let's face it, a very small percentage of people are financial wonks to the degree that they even understand the explanations from economists about what the movement of the bond markets mean, and even fewer people still understand it for themselves). I'm thinking that inflation markers start ticking unmistakeably up again.

Yeah long term rates have decoupled from the Fed cuts - they’ve been increasing. One reason could be traditional inflation expectations. The other is a “WTF premium”. Maybe it’s both.

But they are both due to Dotard.
