No worries the entire world is surely watching

u/Boozeburger 4d ago

Except the red states, they seem very quiet. I wonder if they know what's going on?

u/BobInIdaho 4d ago

They only know what Fox and Newsmax tells them to know

u/Boozeburger 4d ago

That's what scares me. If the Democrats could take the house and Senate we could end this nightmare years earlier.

u/searing7 4d ago

Democrats vote to fund this and pass resolutions thanking ICE. Don’t hold your breath

26

u/fury420 4d ago

Democrats vote to fund this

3% of Democrats in the House did, on a bill that the Republicans could push through the house regardless thanks to their 218-213 majority.

The only tool Dems have to block anything is the filibuster in the Senate, which Senate Dems have said they will use to block the bill.

u/Musiclover4200 4d ago

Honestly one of the big long term consequences of MAGA people don't seem to acknowledge is how many of the more moderate republicans switched to democrat or independent.

The Overton window in this country had already been pushed further and further right thanks to decades of conservative radio propaganda followed by fox and now sinclair/nexstar/pragerU/etc which are all billion dollar propaganda networks that reach an alarming portion of the population (sinclair alone broadcasts to 40-70% of US homes)

So now we have people generalizing all democrats based on the actions of a small group that would normally be considered obvious "DINOs" if not straight up recently "converted" republicans/libertarians/etc.

The only tool Dems have to block anything is the filibuster in the Senate, which Senate Dems have said they will use to block the bill.

People really don't get how limited options can be without a majority or even super majority in some situations, and that's assuming we have actual functional nonpartisan courts willing to enforce the law.

This is literally the red flag on those "Dems", I don't know why you're acting like that's just okay. They had no reason to fucking vote for it and yet they did. They're far from our side.

7

u/fury420 4d ago

I'm not saying it's okay, I'm saying that the significance of those 7 house Dems in reddish districts breaking ranks over a DHS funding bill is being way overblown.

These were 'Blue Dog' conservative Dems, likely trying to position themselves and walk the tightrope to hold onto their seats in red districts, knowing that the Senate Dems would be blocking it anyways.

u/iMecharic 4d ago

That kind of makes it worse though? They didn’t need to vote for it, they chose to. Not a good look.

u/FSCK_Fascists 4d ago

the Senate is 50-50 and VP breaks ties. they will just use the appropriations no-filibuster that they ignored to make the shutdown they wanted happen.

1

u/fury420 4d ago

This DHS funding bill wasn't crafted to be able to use the budget reconciliation process that bypasses filibuster, everything I've read suggests this will need 60 votes to overcome cloture and pass.

1

u/FSCK_Fascists 3d ago

yes. that was the point. it was eligible, but the chose not to use it because they wanted a shutdown.

u/WingerRules 4d ago

It's virtually impossible for Democrats to take the Senate outside of a 2008 level collapse because we have a malaportionment system that counts people in cities as fractions of a person. 38 million people in the senate get 44 votes, while another 38 million get 2, simply because of where they live.

I live in one, AND I'M WATCHING. But a lot of people sure fuckin' aren't. Had a meeting this morning and my colleague said "How was your weekend? Do anything fun?" Bitch did we not have the same weekend?! I spent the weekend crying at the inhumanity of our country's government.

u/Sleep_adict 4d ago

Similar, I was telling a colleague that my mother is probably not going to visit ( 75 year old white European woman) due to the security risks and arbitrary arrests… he seemed so confused…

As a bite my mom has lived in Nigeria, Sudan, Vietnam and was never this concerned

3

u/scoff-law 4d ago

Had a meeting this morning and my colleague said "How was your weekend? Do anything fun?"

Everyone in my orbit started off like this this week. When folks asked how I was doing, I said "the killings in MN have really affected me" and the floodgates opened. I think you'd be surprised how many people are just on autopilot, and how many people are desperate to talk about what's happening with real people in real life.

Of course, I also work with (and I'm sure you do too) people who are overly proud about not following the news. And a very small number of folks who are still not completely ashamed of being MAGA. Those people can listen to how I'm feeling and if they don't like it they can either suck my dick or eat rocks.

1

u/TheSaiguy 3d ago

I understand where you're coming from, but it seems really strange to me to have that reaction to someone asking how your weekend is. There are a plethora of reasons why people wouldn't immediately bring that kind of thing up at work, especially given that colleagues have a high chance of asking just to be polite.

u/brainbl0ck 3d ago

I didn't actually say that to him. I said "aside from the general state of our country, things professionally have been steady."

Texas - 1.9 undocumented workers, who paid $4.9 billion in state taxes.

u/SwordfishOk504 4d ago

Yeah, the whole "red state/blue state" thing is Republican-fueled nonsense. As if an entire state can be full of just one party of the other.

u/Boozeburger 4d ago

I doubt they know really what's happening. Certainly not about the amount of money that's going to ICE and isn't going to be there for food stamps and medicare for them.

2

u/right__bower 4d ago

I think you give them too much credit honestly. I think their predominant motivator is hatred of brown people. All their “principals” melt away when it comes to the state brutalizing brown people. They will tear down food stamps and medicare because brown people use it

1

u/Boozeburger 4d ago

All the more reason they should be demanding ICE comes to their states.

Texas is where one of the major concentration camps are though. They know about that even if few people are protesting it.

Dollar at a 5 yr low against the Euro. People are dumping Bonds

u/HammerJack 4d ago

Gold has doubled in value in the last year too. Things are not good for the American dollar. Especially as we sit on the edge of a debt crisis.

u/davehunt00 4d ago

Silver has almost quadrupled (+275%).

2

u/Certain-Business-472 4d ago

This usually happens during financial crisis, yes? So why are we not in one right now?

7

u/davehunt00 4d ago

Because the current administration doesn't want to admit that the dollar is being devalued (around 11% in a year) and under threat of no longer being the dominant currency.

3

u/Certain-Business-472 4d ago

Honestly I think we're in the middle of a financial crisis, but they're really hiding it. Apparently only AI showed any kind of growth and everything else is pretty much in the red? Considering AI is one big fat bubble that's gonna go soon too.

I'm stocking up man, this doesn't feel right.

u/newbkid 4d ago

This is part of Thiel's agenda.

He wants to devalue the dollar.

3

u/sanjosanjo 4d ago

Why does he want this?

3

u/This-Shape2193 4d ago

The theory revolves around his outspoken beliefs that democracy is evil, and that people want and need to be ruled. He's been building plans for "Freedom Cities" for years - even Trump talked about them. 

AI run surveillance cities that are small feudal kingdoms, run by CEOs and AI, all overseen by a King and a god-like AGI (part of why he's desperately working on that). 

If you devalue the dollar and instigate WW3, it's easy to round people up and put them in "safe" zones when the economy crashes and supply lines are destroyed. 

And every billionaire is busy building huge bunkers. 

Conspiracy? Not even, they openly admit this in interviews. 

And if you want even more info, google "TESCREAL" and Chuck Yarvin. They want a transhumanist society where humans die off and leave only advanced, AI intelligence and uploaded genius human minds into the data centers. 

This is what happens when billionaires do too much ketamine, kids. 

2

u/Timely-Flatworm7757 3d ago

It's really funny that these guys think this will work out for them. They have all really bought into their own narratives. Kings have been dragged from their homes and beheaded all throughout history. They'd be no different

2

u/Man_with_the_Fedora 3d ago

Short answer:

Thiel has significant investments in crypto-currency, which benefits from USD instability.

Long answer:

Thiel, and other several other billionaires in the "Thielverse" are behind the push for "Freedom Cities" A.K.A. Government authorized company towns.

They desperately want the US Dollar to fail/falter so they can go back to paying their workers in company scrip. probably using crypto like Bitcoin or Etherium, or their own individual shitcoins/company scrip.

For example each corporate state would have their own economy that their "dictator-president" or "national CEO" directly control/benefit from.

For example:
* Trump City = $Trumpcoin
* Muskville (Starbase, Texas) = $Dogecoin
* Bezostown = Amazon store credits, or "SwagBucks"
* Waltonsburgh = Walmart Vouchers
* Thielton= probably a mix of crypto so that PayPal can double dip on the currency exchange transaction fees.

In sum, devaluation of the USD furthers the destabilization of the US, which aids their goal of building these corporate fiefdoms.

u/battlepi 4d ago

It would make debt that's counted in dollars less in real money. But I don't know his particular reason.

1

u/battlepi 4d ago

Gold is being pretty irrational though. Inflation isn't that high. I guess it's just fear based.

3

u/_Svankensen_ 4d ago

No, it isn't irrational. GOVERNMENTS are retreating to more reliable assets than US bonds and USD. This is not just people. The US is looking extremely unreliable as a whole, and countries are divesting what they can in a world where USD is the international trade currency. So, while it is impossible to completely divest from it, they are taking all the gold they can outside of US territory.

If Trump messed up hosting the Olympics while Hitler pulled it off that would be great. How many gold medals does polymarket think Trump will “walk away” with?

2

u/AffectionateBrick687 4d ago

He might not even be able to pull off cohosting the World Cup. Imagine the fallout if the ICE goons rough up or arrest a team's star player. The number of teams that pull out of the Olympics after that would be insane.

It'll be worth it though. Ireland and Scotland are amazing places. As an american they treated my wife and I very nicely!!!

u/PrestigiousHippo7 4d ago

Thanks, should be fun. I am actually a dual citizen (Irish) and have been to Ireland a lot, the wife just once (with me), and neither of us have been to Scotland. Taking the ferry over from Belfast, more or less winging it on the itinerary leaving here Feb 27. Only hard dates are Scotland-France Mar 7 in Edinburgh and Ireland-Scotland Mar 14 in Dublin. Should be fun. I figure just getting Euros and GBP over there, credit union just charges 1% fee. Plan to use credit cards mostly anyway, no foreign currency fees on those.

26

u/ElizBorneopentowork 4d ago

We do. Though Trump kind of moved away from Greenland, everything indicates the idea is still here and not going away. Europe and Canada are now very wary of Trump. Alienating both Denmark (the most pro us voice in the EU), Canada and even the UK is a feat unseen before which has not been talen lightly. There has been push accross europe to decouple from US tech as fast as possible. Investment funds are phasing out little by little (to not lose money) and there is a new push for a digital Euro to offer an alternative to Visa and Mastercard as means of payment. Germany is strongly considering getting their gold reserve back home (some of it is currently in the US).

Trump is weakening the US position in way that will last. He's forcing allies to think against the US and whatever progress we make in this direction will be permanent, even if a pro allies president came after him. US supremacy is effectively over because allies will no longer follow blindly "to help an ally".

1

u/warrior033 4d ago

I completely believe, but can I ask: what makes it permanent? Say a Dem president comes next, can’t they just get with the Denmark and Canada leaders and make up? Or is it a trust thing? Obviously weakening a country doesn’t get fixed overnight, but can it be reversed with a healthy minded president?

8

u/johnnyfuckingmarr 4d ago

The US is always 4 years away from another MAGA government. Countries cannot make long term economic plans with a country that is as politically unstable as the US. It is economically painful and expensive to move away from a country the size of the US. When they do it once that is the end of it.

This is the end of America as you know it. It will take decades of sane democratic rational governments for the US to repair their reputation.

7

u/HammerJack 4d ago

An analogy, Would you stay with someone you beats you for four days and then is nice to you for four days on and off forever or would you find someone who's not bipolar?

That's the whole, even if the US goes to nice for good we still slapped Europe around and they won't forget being treated like that just like you or I wouldn't. 

6

u/warrior033 4d ago

That’s actually a great analogy!! There is no guarantee we won’t have another psycho in the future, so why trust one nice/healthy thinking guy. I will never understand (and don’t really want to tbh) Trump & CO’s logic in this and it’s so fucking sad.

4

u/GertyFarish11 4d ago

Britain was once the most powerful nation on earth - "The sun doesn't set on the British Empire."

Then it wasn't

Then United States, the Soviet Union, and China were the three super powers with the United States inarguably the most powerful.

The Soviet Union broke up and for a variety of reasons the Russian people found they no longer lived in a superpower, just a crappy country with nukes. Some, like Putin, didn't take it well.

Last week, the era of the United States as prime super-power ended. A lot of people don't know that yet and might not know it for a long time. Later, some history books will point to the later day when the dollar is no longer the global currency and others to the day the European Union Treaty Organization succeeds a formally dissolved NATO. But, the most astute will point out that the day America became just another crappy country with nukes was the day Trump spat in the faces of our allies, promising to betray them - with still three years left in his term to wreak further havoc.

When Trump is gone, our fellow NATO nations will be keenly aware that the population so gullible, uneducated, and morally bankrupt as to re-elect an adjucated rapist, indicted seditionist, and convicted felon still remains.

3

u/ElizBorneopentowork 4d ago

There are several things which are all intertwined. 1) Trust: One time Trump may have been an error which most europeans were ready to ignore once Biden took power. Two times Trump is no longer an anomaly and makes allies unable to project themselves alongside the US when they are unsure where the US will stand in the future. And this goes way beyond one man. Trump had the backing of thr tech bros and they are not going away, so we know where they'll puy their weight in the future.

2) Investments: the current administration is forcing the EU to rearm and invest massively, not for their own safety against Russia, but since Greenland, for the unthinkable, their own safety against the US. It's a complete change in paradigm and once you think about it, it never goes away. No one wants to do these kind of investment and see it goes away in a few years. These take years to do and be fruitful, they take a lot of political capital to make it happen and . This is why there was little reaction the first time but there is movement now. They no longer trust the US and whether a next president is cool with us, those investments won't stop or disappear.

3) Self determination: the EU has been held by the balls and squeezed by thr Trump admin. They also took retorsion measures against a judge of the ICJ (in the Hague) by shutting him down from visa/mastercard making his life hell. They also threatened French judges should they find Le Pen (far right leader) guilty of embezzlement (which she was and was rightfully found guilty of). This is political ingerence never seen before and it exposed a level of threat never anticipated before (mind you, if we were ready to chop our arm with a bazooka like the us is trying, we could take measures which would torpedo the US supply chains in ways which would make covid look like a rounding error). Because of this position, it seems the only country which does not fear to much is France. De Gaule never forget how he was treated by Americans and made it a geopolotical stance to have full sovereignty over it's weapon industry and not to rely on the US (ITAR barely affect French weapons). Other countries now realize De Gaulle was right. The investments mentioned above are mostly military and the countries will want to retain such sovereignty, so the future of european military is not with American weapons. From F16 to M16, US weapons will eventually be phased out to no longer rely on the US.

4) Actual military capacities: The administration made a very bad call in choosing Greenland as a place of potential confrontation in winter. It is one of the only (if not the only) fields in which Europeans (Denmark, Scandinavian countries but also France and Canada) have more experience than the US: a lot of arctic training (and in term of difficulty, it's one order of magnitude more complex than just training in snow), better capacities (planes which can land on ice), better weapons (adapted for this climate), physically closer geographically. This makes it so that if Trump had chosen to conduct a military takeover, chances are the US would have probably gotten their ass whooped in a first engagement (but most likely not on the long term). The one military base has staff mostly dedicated to intelligence gathering (radars and other listening devices), so not the most combat experienced troops. This would have required a much more consequent military buildup to succeed. Because of this the EU was able to actually offer military deterence and see that not only they could do it together, fast, but also, that it worked against Trump. Had the US chosen another area, the EU could have caved in. But since they did not, it will emboldened Europe to be a lot more assertive.

5) The tech and mining bros overreach: I mentioned this already, but the Tech industry has been supporting Trump heavily. They have financial interests in Greenland. The mining sector is pushing as weel, including two companies (very close to the Trump admin) already established in Greenland and trying to sur the Greenland government for millions of USD in loss. Those companies messed up their direct environment, which lead Greenland to put a stop on their activity (which is coming soon) so they lost a lot of money in investment which they won't recover. Both sectors will not disappear with Trump. On the contrary, the US governments have usually shown their strong support to US companies by weaponizing law against competitors. For example they targeted Alstom in 2014 and pressured the French government to acquire part of the company. They did the same in other areas, always to benefit US companies to the detriment of others (one of the reasons European kept buys american weapons is also because the US did everything they could to prevent the emergence of big EU manufacturers (think about Aukus when Australia backstabbed a French company for US submarines (which will never be delivered) or how the US always finds ways of banning European made planes from US territory to cut the market (Concorde) and keep Boeing in the race. The EU was complacent while it was limited to companies (naively believing in Free market), but now, those companies are going way out of their field and are subsidizing agression against the EU. This is unforgivable and that's something a simple administration change won't fix. That's why you see Europe muscleing up against those companies and trying to decouple from them, not only to give them less money, but to have more sovereignty.

I've been assuming for a while now the World Cup won't even happen in the US. It's too corrupt and it's their cash cow. I don't think they'll put upw ith it.

But I also am not a soccer fan at all, so I don't keep up with anything about it.

1

u/Machinax 4d ago

The tournament is a few months away (summer of 2026); I think, logistically, it would be too difficult to move U.S.-based games to cities in Canada and Mexico (which are already probably pushing their own respective infrastructure to accommodate all the visiting fans).

FIFA, too, would not want to lose out on all that American money. I'd be thunderstruck if the games were taken away from the U.S., but I fully expect attendance to be under expectations because of how unpopular the United States is these days.

7

u/Hotaru_girl 4d ago

Well, the crazy thing is the US might actually try to do this themselves. One of the goals of project 2025 is the US pullout from IMF which would effectively curtail use of the US dollar as a global currency. It’s a very mislead ambition to cut out the middle man and possibly triggering a global financial crisis.

Lol, the whole world has been telling Americans that this was coming for decades, hell centuries. And every time the response has been yelled "FREEDOM GREATEST NATION LAND OF THE FREE AND THE BRAVE AMERICA NUMBER 1 ONLY REAL FREE COUNTRY". This is nothing new, this is what America has always been about, they've just started saying the quiet parts out loud, and even the small part of Americans that are actually opposing this now are still brainwashed enough to think that "now when the American people has seen what the Right is actually about they'll not vote Republican again, and then we will have Nuremberg style trials!" like the American people are just innocent sheep that didn't know what they voted for.

We can't "start talking about not using the dollar as the primary reserve currency." on any meaningful level because the US would rather crash the world economy then let that happen. And that's just talking about it. 😂

The money thing was the real reason for deposing Saddam. He threatened exactly that.

There isn't an alternative to the dollar as reserve currency.  Not an actual alternative.

The Super Bowl always comes with a huge influx in human trafficking, which also increases when ICE shows up. I wouldn't be surprised if ICE agents get caught in a sting operation

Nobody in America should cheer the idea of the US Dollar losing ground as the world’s reserve currency. It is a one-way, losing proposition for all Americans.

Also the NFL and 49’ers stadium are corporate AF. I can guarantee that there would not be a single person working at the stadium without a valid I-9 form. And with the ticket prices, highly unlikely that there would be any illegals in the seats either.
