1. whoever it was should arrange for the pukes to end this shit show, if they can

[pnwest]

5. Maybe I'm being heedlessly optimistic...

but it feels like we've seen the bottom, the worst of what can happen. It's not going to get better any time soon, but I think the republic will hold.

[Blues Heron]

6. I'm with you, eventually truth and sanity will prevail

[thought crime]

9. Only about 4 more years of this crap

One thing after another.

[Ocelot II]

2. Some rich people might be getting tired of the Dunning-Kruger Administration's constant fuck-ups.

4. The Moron Who Cried Wolf got exactly what he wanted...

Attention. Lots of it. He will repeat this performance every opportunity he gets until finally finally the rest of the world learns to ignore him.

Our economy is already in a shambles as chaos and confusion reign. The SCrOTUS is hopefully becoming aware that the Trumpanzees don't do nuance. They handed him a call to due diligence which will be summarily ignored.

I see no wins and certainly no invisible hands in today's events. They went exactly according to the Tangeranus' wishes. Maximum disruption, pain, and uncertainty.

7. Normalizing chaos

The world is taking the medicine. Next week it will be something else, and the errors accumulate.

[NJCher]

10. Huh?

I was right with you up until your last paragraph.

If he is, as posts on this thread state, an attention hound who overstepped his bounds, what they are going to conclude if they don’t need him.

Buh bye.

3. Screwing up the bond market is playing with plutonium.

The Chinese own a boatload of U.S. treasuries, and can take down the US information infrastructure at the drop of a hat.

Because they already did.

Mess with them, will you? Sure.

[thought crime]

8. Apparently Japan started offloading US Treasuries

Speak softly and swing the big stick.

[NJCher]

12. This is what happens when

You have a dumb mob boss for a president.

[Ford_Prefect]

18. Its not the Mob boss who fucking with the world economy. He's the puppet of people like Navarro and Musk.

He talks big bad voodoo and throws world threat tantrums, but they are the ones steering him towards the edge. Who do you think it was that beat the market today?

[NJCher]

21. Adam Schiff

Will find out. He started an investigation.

[NH Ethylene]

19. Somebody had a 'come to Jesus' moment with him over the bonds.

Bottom line: No increasing the national debt if nobody wants to buy our bonds.

[usonian]

25. That would have to be Jesus, because he's smarter than all his advisors

putting their effective IQ at 30 or less. Wonder who has that kind of cudgel.

Maybe someone in one of the think tanks that I care not to know. He flips the bird to previous presidents. Oh Putin ??? found the situation to be harmful? That would take some deeper analysis. He seems to be the only person whose opinion matters.


I read some other posts ...
On edit, the Saudis own him as well. He didn't play in the Russian golf league, just the LIV.

[ailsagirl]

11. Is it just me or are the repukes disintegrating??

It may take awhile, but it seems they're on the "right" track. I look forward to the snowball effect coming into play.

[usonian]

14. Attention, everyone. Chaos will continue and increase until the mad destructor is smacked down. Period.

Now, there seems to be real silence from many we counted on as leaders, so let me propose some "downfall" scenarios and some reason why some might be silent.

There are powers that don't play silly games.

[Meowmee]

13. Who do you think this person is?

I hope you are right but it doesn't take him out of power and I expect more chaos and crap.

[pnwest]

16. My guess is the Saudis.

You?

[Meowmee]

17. It was not my idea, but I would not have thought of the Saudis

I don't know who it or they would be if this is even true. I think more likely the bond sell off scared them. I didn't know elunatic and the dogies had backed off social security. But they still have all of our stolen data etc.
House of Saudi is worth 1.4 trillion apparently. Richer than eloonatic.

I can't find anything about doge backing away from their attack on social security... do you have a link?

[rubbersole]

22. Putin.

Wrecking America one news cycle at a time.

[Meowmee]

24. Putin is worth 200B apparently... why would he want to back off the tariffs and social security?

[rubbersole]

26. To keep his puppet from the metaphorical guillotine, if I had to guess.

[Meowmee]

28. Possible but the idea is to weaken us etc.

[JT45242]

15. What does Putin or Prince Bone saw get out of this?

One of those two called this ..maybe they had a lot of money to get laundered thru insider trading.

Maybe it's just the chaos.

But Bone saw just had a golf event at the felon golf course.

[flamingdem]

20. The CEO of JP Morgan was on TV and Trump saw him

and understood that the bond market was blowing up.

His circle doesn't dare tell him the truth but that and perhaps other CEOs got through
to him - no more donations if you don't change your tariff game.

[Ms. Toad]

23. It stopped messing with one aspect of social security - or at least changed how they are describing it.

Instead of making people who can't identify themselves online come in for a visit, they are going to make people who fail a telefraud check come in for a visit.

The far bigger "messing with social security" that I'm worried about is the wholesale replacement of the software code on an impossibly short timeline - at the same time they are terminating employees who would be able to recognize when something goes wrong with the code. I don't see any announcement that that prospect has changed.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

27. It was the bond market that scared trump
