Good. This country has wielded that influence like a cleaver for decades.
I’m happy to see it end.
We’re only going to get our standing back by throwing this man in prison and impeaching the corrupt supreme court. We also need to get dark money out of our politics to save our democracy.
America losing it’s economic monopoly would be the greatest thing to ever happen to democracy & mankind & guess what ?
FREEEEEEDOM
The only way I can see a coming back is for the US - or rather, whatever comes after, to implement a socialist government that leapfrog’s the advances of the Nordic nations. North America has tremendous resources and a great deal of land, but has always hamstrung its potential due to the 1% hoarding that bounty. In the event that the 1% are eliminated from society, it is very possible that the ordinary American could get the education and means to make themselves fulfill their potential.
Hopefully, the likes of Trump and his friends will hang out together, someday.
I looked for explanation:
Pavolini was captured after a desperate escape attempt which saw him swimming across Lake Como and then trapped in a Mexican standoff over a half submerged rock. When Pavolini ran out of bullets, he was finally apprehended and executed only under Italian law by the partisans in Dongo.[1] Before burial, his body was hung upside down in public, along with Mussolini, Mussolini’s mistress Clara Petacci, the former Party Secretary Achille Starace, Nicola Bombacci and others in Piazzale Loreto, Milan.[2]
I had a holiday booked for this last February in the States, after Trump won the election though that holiday was cancelled and I went to Japan instead
If you swapped your american holiday for a trip to Japan then you are a trader. B’dum tiss. /s
The takeaway should be that to do business in the US, you have to bribe Trump. He’s not really made a secret over the fact that he’s running the country like a protection racket. Tim Cook gave $1 million to the Trump inauguration fund (that we’re aware of) and Apple gets an exemption. Boeing did the same and got a fighter plane program. Small and medium businesses that can’t afford bribes and import things from China? Screwed.
It’s not good for the big businesses either though, that’s why their stocks are still down. Because the need to pay bribes is a cost to them and will eventually sink the whole economy.
The president is just a figurehead of a garbage system. It’s this easy to turn the system into a fascist nightmare because it was always a fascist nightmare. Literally invented by slavers.
and THAT
was the point. trump is attempting to destroy the country
AND it’s future. So it can never be world power again
IF we can get a very strong Congress that recaptures and then vigorously defends it’s Constitutional powers, AND that goes through the trouble of codifying what used to be political norms before Trump, AND amends the Constitution as needed to put a strong leash on the Executive branch, I think it’s possible we could become that anchor again.
But it took a world war and at least 25 years of concerted effort after to build that role for ourselves. Even though the Republicans have damaged or destroyed it in 3 months, it won’t be rebuilt in 3 months.
But also life continued:
Yeah, but it took 20 years and WWII before things actually rebounded.
See, simple! If you’re 30, you’ll be 50 by the time you recuperate your investment! Easy! LOL.
Is all this a death rattle for the US? A part of me thinks this was happening one way or another. I’m still unsure of what will come after, but maybe something better? Probably not, eh?
It’s gonna be the EU and China battling for the top
Good. tRump has done more in 2 months to bring down the US Empire than any of their real or imagined enemies in the last 80 years have. Time to let it die.
Lol what fear click bait
