Brilliant move by the Clinton's. When held in contempt it will force a discovery forcing the release of the Epstien files.

He saw a photo of them, not one was moving.

This is really funny.

Where are I? Is this Iceland? Who has my Big Macs? Who'll be my role model, when my role model is gone? He ducked down the alleyway with a rolly-polly bat-faced girl named Sarah.

My God, he so so unhinged. That was an 80 minute stream-of-consciousness rant - without the consciousness! Negotiations for Greenland? Ain't gonna happen. Confuses Greenland with Iceland? I mean WTAF?

 

[shemp]

Greenland, Iceland, Poland, it's all the same, who cares?

Poland. That's where "Kung Fu Panda" is set, right?

Phillip: How do we explain this?

Arrighi: It’s Trump. That’s the reason he got 77 million votes.

Phillip: So if Biden had mistaken Iceland with Greenland?

Watters: Notice what they never call Trump: dumb

Because they know he’s smart and that’s what scares them the most.

Correct. Trump is FAR too moronic and ill-informed to come up to the level of mere "dumb". "Dumb" implies at least some level of competence. Trump is far below that.

 

[jimbob]

He's not mathing. Motrgages and interest rates and trade statistics. All nonsense.

It's impressive in a way that "800% reduction in the cost of drugs" is not the most stupid part of his speech.

 

[jimbob]

Surprise! Mike Johnson says he hasn't seen any of Trump's (bonkers) speech in Davos

Yes, why should the leader of the House see what the President is saying. The president he is propping up.

"Dumb" means unable to speak. That certainly doesn't apply to Trump.
Unless you want coherent speech, of course.

The resulting economic chaos would also really hurt the USA too.

The suggestion to sell US debt doesn't work as a counter attack either because the Fed can simply buy it all and credit the bond holders accounts with US$. This would weaken the dollar, making foreign imports to the US even more expensive and boost US exports. I.e., it would have precisely the opposite effect than intended.

In summary there are no economic measures that in the foreseeable future don't hurt the USA and much of the rest of the world simultaneously.

If the EU gave up individual nation states and became a federation with a proper single currency and a large federal budget, then it could become an economic and military superpower that the USA would have to take seriously. Hopefully it would learn from the mistakes the USA has made.

Problem for the US is that it's so loaded with debt that it needs the dollar to be the world's currency to keep the interest rates down. Because no matter the source of the debts, there is still a level where it becomes unsustainable to issue more.

And if the rest of the world weren't propping up the dollar by holding huge gobs of it and US debt, the country would have blown past it decades ago.

Oh picky picky picky. Stick to the good news for once. We're gonna bring back plastic straws.
