One thing that concerns me that not many people have talked about is what's going to happen to the US dollar as the world's reserve currency? More and more countries want nothing to do with us and while the US dollar has a huge edge over any other currency, the US becoming a pariah is probably going to impact that.

Instead of throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks, immediately get rid of the gerontocracy (Schumer, Pelosi), regroup, find a leader with some balls and declare open warfare on Republicans. It's not like there isn't any ammunition.

I guess I should have been more careful about where I was spouting off anti-GOP rhetoric. Oh well, I was getting ready to bail on Reddit anyway.

I'm 65 and the country is essentially fucked for the remainder of my lifetime. The judiciary, federal appointments, cabinet secretaries, SCOTUS... We're screwed

30 or 40 years ago he would've been laughed out of politics the moment he came down his gold escalator.

Even with an ad blocker, it gets more unusable every year that goes by

I stopped watching network television because of ads, then I stopped watching free streaming because of too many ads (Pluto TV, Crackle), I get a basic subscription to Paramount through Walmart and I stopped watching that because of the ads. I have an Amazon prime subscription because I get it for one half off but I rarely use prime video an if they start showing ads, I won't use it at all.

Have to make sure you let people know that liberals are all socialists and hate capitalism

I think it's about time to finally leave Reddit. I've been there for almost 15 years and I just got my first permanent ban from a legal advice sub for one single comment. I'm not sure what I said wrong because I never use inflammatory language. Oh well, I already left Twitter, time to bail on Reddit too.

I'm 65 now. When I was a kid, I was relatively patriotic. Civil rights, moon landing, all that stuff. Now? Not so much. The US is still much better than many other countries but it's not the world leader that used to be.

I only say something if I have something to say. And the larger platform gets, the harder it gets to be heard.
