  1. The problem being that the fed buying its own bonds artificially lowers borrowing costs, risks inflation/devaluation, distorts market signals, because its funding our own debt with more debt. while foreign investment is an external market for those bonds. How long do you think we can be funding our own debt, creating more money to buy our own debt before Mr. Devaluation comes a calling? You appear to have rose colored glasses when discussing our money supply, that donald is quite literally f**king with his tiny diapered pee pee.
  2. I see. You believe donalds acts of coercion, blackmail, his threats of annexation through military force, that our former allies are just going to let that stand? Surely, you must have bumped your head. That you would cower to donalds attacks, doesn't mean the rest of the World will. You're a traitor to the Constitution and a coward. Gfy
  3. I just went over it with cdnfox, but, here ya go: America is heavily reliant on global capital markets to fund its large, and growing budget deficits. Every year we need to persuade investors abroad to buy vast quantities of new Treasury bonds. And, as long as the US remained a predictable and reliable steward of the world’s financial system, it was smooth sailing. But, we are no longer that predictable and reliable steward. Thanks to donalds efforts to rewrite the rules of international trade, to pressure allies, to use coercion and blackmail, and wantonly threaten our allies with annexation through military force, other countries are no longer certain about how the US will behave in the future. Countries, like individual people, dont like to be threatened. They dont like to be bullied nor coerced nor blackmailed. It makes folks, and countries, yearn for some payback. Now, yall are right. Dumping all their u.s. bonds at once would be cutting off their own noses to spite their faces. But, IMHO, the rest of the World is not going to take donalds shit laying down. And we'll all pay the price for donalds tomfoolery.

  5. Yes. All you red hats are the epitome of perfect. Either respond to my citations, or gfy. Sound good. Yay!
  6. The rest of the World knows our brand has been damaged. Only a gullible fool could see it otherwise. Here's multiple citations that support my claims: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjPx4C0_MqSAxXdD0QIHQx0IgcQFnoECDAQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Finsights.som.yale.edu%2Finsights%2Fbehind-closed-doors-ceos-say-trump-is-bad-for-business&usg=AOvVaw0yKzCpvGRr8hf_Cstueg_g&opi=89978449 https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjziqiS_cqSAxWlCbwBHeOGGqk4ChAWegQILxAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fcohen.house.gov%2FTrumpAdminTracker&usg=AOvVaw2lJ_qbWlWI7DiErhDxyBZw&opi=89978449 https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjziqiS_cqSAxWlCbwBHeOGGqk4ChAWegQIMhAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fca.finance.yahoo.com%2Fnews%2Ftrump-trade-war-wounds-brand-140145078.html&usg=AOvVaw3ZXBSNp5o3yjZRul3PVQV8&opi=89978449 https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjziqiS_cqSAxWlCbwBHeOGGqk4ChAWegQIMxAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.americanprogress.org%2Farticle%2F8-ways-trumps-turbulence-tax-is-costing-the-economy%2F&usg=AOvVaw0xzNKDxA8L4izLb92ZGc5k&opi=89978449 https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwiU1r6-_cqSAxVSJkQIHdceJZ0QFnoECDMQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.jpmorgan.com%2Finsights%2Fglobal-research%2Fcurrent-events%2Fus-tariffs&usg=AOvVaw0ymPSIbx99mEmQRMbx86P0&opi=89978449 https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwiU1r6-_cqSAxVSJkQIHdceJZ0QFnoFCIcBEAE&url=https%3A%2F%2Fjournals.plos.org%2Fplosone%2Farticle%3Fid%3D10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0313204&usg=AOvVaw37uJK3VrtHc_VqBquKwF8t&opi=89978449 https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjU8875_cqSAxXzEEQIHSMUCyE4FBAWegQILBAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.chathamhouse.org%2F2025%2F09%2Ftrumps-policies-and-actions-pose-serious-risks-corporate-america&usg=AOvVaw0pvW_WBHFX6QBmocmPFwFa&opi=89978449
  7. I have you on ignore. Its only when I choose to address you that you'll get a response. I typically put posters who continuously only spout dishonest blather on ignore. But, you were correct. I was avoiding addressing the word "crash" with all yall red hats here. I was overly zealous, and i embarrassed myself. But, we all make mistakes.
  8. I proved donald is speeding us closer to the end of dollar hegemony. But, you're right, "crash" was the wrong word. So, in typical red hat fashion, may I suggest you just keep harping on the word "crash ", instead of making any useful comments. Donalds persistent policy chaos, his on/off tariff nonsense and his threatening our allies with military intervention definitely is contributing to the long-term decline and diversification away from the dollar. But, go ahead. Say "crash" a few more times. Its all you're worth.
  9. I gave you enough citations to choke your pony. How about you read them, halfwit. Or, better yet, ask your nurse to read them , then explain it to you. In the meantime, here's a video im sure you can appreciate:
  10. So yeah, the Dow just cracked 50,000. Magnificent, right? Donalds already jizzing on himself off on Truth Social about it being "the first time in History" . And all his brain-dead followers are acting like they just won the lottery. Here's the thing these dumb c***s don't understand: 93% of all stock market wealth is owned by the top 10% of Americans. The top 1% alone own 54% of the entire stock market. The bottom 50% of Americans? They own a grand total of 1%. One f*****g percent. So when Cletus and Karen RedHat are celebrating this Dow milestone from their double-wide, they're literally cheering for billionaires getting richer while they get absolutely f**k-all. It's like applauding when your boss gets a Ferrari while you're eating ramen for dinner. But here's where this gets properly terrifying - we've seen this exact movie before. THE 1920s PLAYBOOK: In the 1920s, the Dow went on an absolute tear - jumping from 63 in 1921 to 381 by September 1929. That's a six-fold increase. The "Roaring Twenties" - everyone was getting rich, speculation was rampant, people were buying stocks on margin (borrowing up to 75% of the purchase price), convinced the party would never end. Sound familiar? Change "stocks on margin" to "overleveraged AI speculation" and we're looking at the same thing. Then came the tariffs. President Herbert Hoover, facing economic trouble, signed the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act in June 1930. It raised tariffs on over 20,000 imported goods - increasing average tariff rates from 40% to nearly 60%, roughly a 20 percentage point jump. The goal? "Protect American workers from foreign competition." The result? Global catastrophe. Trading partners retaliated immediately. Canada imposed new tariffs on 30% of US exports. France, Britain, Germany, Italy, Spain, Argentina, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland - they all hit back. Global trade collapsed by 65% between 1929 and 1934. US exports to Europe fell from $2.3 billion in 1929 to $784 million in 1932. Over 1,000 economists signed a petition begging Hoover not to sign it. He ignored them. The market tanked. By 1932, the Dow had lost 89% of its value, dropping from 381 to 41. Unemployment jumped from 8% in 1930 to 25% by 1932-1933. NOW LET'S LOOK AT DONALD'S PLAYBOOK: Donald's second term started with tariffs galore. By April 2025, he'd jacked the average US tariff rate from 2.5% to 27% - the highest level in over a century. He's since negotiated some down, but we're still sitting at 16.8% as of late 2025. He slapped tariffs on Canada, Mexico, China, the EU, and dozens of other countries using "emergency powers." Countries retaliated. Global trade started contracting. The stock market briefly crashed in April 2025 when he announced his "Liberation Day" tariffs - the Dow tumbled to the mid-36,000s. But then he walked some of it back. Markets recovered. And now here we are at 50,000, with everyone acting like we've learned our lesson. Except we haven't learned shite. THE GOLD PARALLEL: Here's where it gets interesting. In the 1920s and early 1930s, gold prices were fixed by the government at $20.67 per ounce. People couldn't directly own gold for much of this period. But you know what they could own? Gold mining stocks. When the Depression hit and the stock market imploded, Homestake Mining - the largest US gold producer - shot up 474% between 1929 and 1933 while the Dow was losing 73% of its value. By the worst part of the crash (when the Dow lost 89%), Homestake had more than doubled. In 1933, Roosevelt took the US off the gold standard. In 1934, he raised the official gold price to $35 per ounce - a 69% increase overnight. Gold became the ultimate safe haven as people lost faith in the financial system. Fast forward to today: gold's been quietly climbing. Central banks worldwide are buying it up. Countries are diversifying away from US dollar holdings. And if Trump's tariff war escalates into another full-blown global trade collapse and stock market crash, where do you think smart money is going to run? THE NIGHTMARE SCENARIO: Here's how this plays out: 1. The False Peak: Stock market at all-time highs, driven by AI speculation and the belief that Donald's "deals" have solved everything. The wealthy get wealthier. The MAGA faithful celebrate gains they'll never see. 2. The Tariff Escalation: Donald, emboldened by his "success," pushes harder. More tariffs. More "reciprocal" bullshit. More emergency declarations. The Supreme Court ruling on his emergency tariff powers could either green-light unlimited economic warfare or kill it - either way creates massive uncertainty. 3. The Retaliation Spiral: Trading partners get sick of this shit. They retaliate harder. Global supply chains fracture. Costs skyrocket. The inflation that's been "contained" comes roaring back. 4. The Credit Crunch: Just like the 1920s, today's market is built on leverage - margin loans, corporate debt, overleveraged AI investments. When the music stops, it stops fast. Banks tighten lending. Credit dries up. 5. The Crash: Markets realize we've built a house of cards. The selloff begins. Because 93% of stocks are owned by the top 10%, when they start selling, the bottom drops out. Retail investors (the few who have anything) panic and sell at the bottom. 6. The Depression: Unemployment spikes. Consumer spending collapses. The real economy - the one Main Street actually lives in - goes into the shitter. But it's worse this time because we don't have the manufacturing base we had in 1929. We've offshored everything. 7. The Flight to Safety: Gold explodes. Just like Homestake in the 1930s, gold miners and physical gold become the only safe harbors. Governments that diversified away from the dollar look smart. Those that didn't, suffer. THE DIFFERENCE THIS TIME: The 1929 crash took down an economy that was still primarily domestic and industrial. We made shit. We grew shit. We could theoretically rebuild. Today? Our economy is service-based, globally interconnected, and built on debt and speculation. We import everything. Our supply chains span the globe. A trade war doesn't just hurt exports - it chokes off the imports we depend on for everything from pharmaceuticals to computer chips to the food on our shelves. Plus, we're starting from a position of $36 trillion in national debt. In 1929, we had debt but we had room to maneuver. Now? We're maxed out. When this bubble pops, we don't have the fiscal space to spend our way out like we did with the New Deal. THE BOTTOM LINE: These MAGA halfwits celebrating the Dow at 50,000 are like passengers on the Hindenburg popping champagne as they approach the mooring mast. They're so focused on the altitude they can't smell the hydrogen. History doesn't repeat, but it sure as shit rhymes. And right now, we're rhyming with the worst economic disaster in modern history - except this time, the fall could be even harder because the structures we built our economy on are made of cheaper materials and held together with Chinese-manufactured duct tape. The truly sick irony? When this house of cards collapses, it'll be the same working-class MAGA supporters who'll get crushed hardest. They don't own the stocks that are soaring. They will lose their jobs when global trade implodes. They'll lose their homes when they can't make payments. And they'll watch as the top 1% - who own 54% of the market - cash out, buy up assets at fire-sale prices, and consolidate even more wealth. But sure, keep celebrating that Dow milestone, you dumb bastards. I'm sure it'll trickle down any day now. Wave at the iceberg on your way past.
  11. The red hats dont know much about anything, and they love to remind us of it continually.
  12. Yep. You shouldn't elect a guy with 6 bankruptcies under his belt to "fix" the economy.
  13. It sure adversely affected yall this last presidential election. What i find bewildering is how the right wingers on this site still support donald, and make excuses for every unconstitutional thing he does.
  14. Attractiveness is subjective. Whom finds whom attractive, varies widely across cultures and individuals So, there is no objective measure that proves one race of women is inherently more attractive than another. Now you, a white dude, are obviously heavily influenced by that white cultural standard, your upbringing, your revoltingly racist community. Which has lead to you having your distinct personal preferences. There is no inherent biological differences. Just those in your head. Not even a tiny bit.
  15. You poor delusional fool. Some of the most attractive women in the World, have been women of color. You must have bumped your head.
  16. Its amazing watching all donnies sycophants come here and make any and every excuse under the sun in support of their Jesus. For them, it doesn't matter what is revealed in the files. It doesn't matter how damning the proof nor how compelling the evidence. In their tiny minds, any evidence against Jesus must be fraudulent. Because Jesus says so.
  17. In the recent Epstein file release, (obtained by the House Oversight Committee via subpoena to Epstein's estate), in an email exchange between Epstein and someone identified only as "SP", where they were discussing plans for an NYC visit. The most notable part of the email chain is when Epstein stated, "trump will be there. doesnt like black girls,, calls them 'boogers', wont go w in 10 feet". Keep in mind, this is an email from 2013. Three years before donald became president. Just a reminder to "SP", to let him know donald likes his jail bait "White". And, surprisingly, he doesn't eat "Boogers"
  18. And yet, it is happening. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwie46KIq7mSAxXWJUQIHYoBCKUQFnoECCsQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Finternationalbanker.com%2Ffinance%2Fis-china-engaging-in-large-scale-dumping-of-us-treasury-securities%2F&usg=AOvVaw3b8xfdGesmBZ7-LFmJUSgA&opi=89978449 https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwiSgc2ErbmSAxUePkQIHaOUEE0QFnoFCIcBEAE&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.barrons.com%2Farticles%2Fchina-sells-treasuries-9-straight-months-91fc58a1%3Fgaa_at%3Deafs%26gaa_n%3DAWEtsqdtrj66t8rOCC9LOdNElv1UDveqDAMIf7QYhoBiTZCXg6v0HlLUNQ4qKwU2InE%3D%26gaa_ts%3D697fd890%26gaa_sig%3DU6yGo-afbWEznsOZv4Si56KwnCNBk_bM5zt8Xv4QNsGzCBg3FTSxBxImNTr7qiTimTTeUlvAO5F2-po6NZq3Mg%3D%3D&usg=AOvVaw1Bybtx4lVR94DtDObzczXG&opi=89978449 Thank you for admitting im right. I see. And much more mature. You are so welcome.Your admiration warms my heart.
  19. We'll see. Watch how much higher precious metals go. Precious metals going up is not a "good" sign.
  20. Oh my goodness. Reality really pisses you off, huh red hat? Perhaps if you drank less coffee? Got more sleep? Beat your wife less? Just some friendly suggestions.
  21. Wrong. I've already proven through citations that donalds imbicilic actions are a major cause. You should try doing a little research like @gatomantes99 did. Then you too might have something relevant to say.
