I do love Putin and am clearly maga but still like to remain objective. I'm planing a party to celebrate both the victory of Kamala and zelinsky actually.

Oh you.

Listen, we could do worse than KH. We could do better too but all in it would be a big deal to have a woman as Pres — we never have before. It would be nice to have a President we can ignore most of the time except when we need leadership every so often. Would that be so bad? Peace, calm, a decent economy, no major international conflicts, everyone getting along? The USMNT getting past the round of 16?

Okay the last one might be unrealistic . . .

Always good to find unbiased polling. Often it's a real struggle but then there are gems like this. #gokamala #inthebag

I’m guessing he appeals to the same demographic that is impressed by the likes of Andrew Tate, which presumably is where Trump is strongest. Can’t see many changing their voting intentions following this endorsement.

No my tongue was firmly in cheek. He’s not even popular in his own demographic these days and in two weeks Tyson is going to rearrange his face which I’m looking forward to.

I'm so hoping this is a proper fight but I think there's a good chance it'll be as choreographed as WWE

Hummm, I think there is a big difference between crashing the economy and crashing the markets.

I also think the dollar holds waaaay more weight and importance than either in the short term.

Edit: these guys don’t know what they’re talking about, they’re seriously uneducated

The dollar is king, these guys touched on something (selling bonds to China) but China have been offloading bonds for 2 years… and the buying of it was a hedge in the first place.

We’re already seeing trades happen which historically were made in dollars, now happen in local currency. This in part is to due to restrictions on Russia.

So you’re going to be looking at a weaker dollar, probably compounded by the import taxes Trump wants to stick on anything outside the US.

Nothing is going to crash, the US is absolutely self sufficient and although I foresee a huge drop in forex markets, I think normal Americans will be better off as jobs “come back home”.

Yeah it appears you don’t have a clue what you’re talking about either.

I've let that comment go previously but as I had a family member who was in Auschwitz and hurt quite badly (on two occasions) I'd like you to not do it again please.

Fall out of his guard tower did he?

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Anyone still willing to take the gamble and vote for this guy is as fucking INSANE as he is.

 

[SWP's back]

I'm no financial expert but I'm pretty sure the markets have a direct impact on the economy?

Other way around but yeah.

 

[SWP's back]

I have. I've never fallen out of a watchtower after a Christmas party and been bitten by my own Alsatian

Oh you’ve already done the joke.
