Really excited for Dems to win in 2028 and get blamed for not fixing the outgoing Republican economic mess fast enough, and getting crushed in the 2030 midterms.

🎶 Tale as old as time🎶
Luke Gromen @LukeGromen UAE to Trump Administration: "You started this war; if we run short of USDs as a result of it, either you will give us USD swap lines, or we will be forced to start transacting oil and gas in CNY and other currencies." -WSJ, just now Via @ces921 But they have also argued that it was President Trump's decision to attack Iran that entangled their country in a destructive conflict whose effects may not be over, some of the officials said. Emirati officials told the U.S. officials that if the U.A.E runs short of dollars, it may be forced to use Chinese yuan or other countries' currencies for oil sales and other transactions, some of the officials said. In that scenario is an implicit threat to the U.S. dollar, which reigns supreme among global currencies partially because of its near-exclusive use in oil transactions.

Trump’s “renovation” of the White House isn’t restoration — it’s ruination. A spectacle of decline where MAGA plays Nero, mistaking demolition for destiny. #MAGA #AmericanDecline #CivicVirtue #EmpireLogic #FallOfEmpires #AestheticsOfPower #DemocracyUnderSiege

Scholars argue that societies may unconsciously accelerate their demise through short-term thinking and unsustainable practices. Capitalism’s growth imperative and lack of long-term planning contribute to this risk. #SocietalCollapse #EcologicalBreakdown #FallOfEmpires #LateStageCapitalism #Degrowth

5. Collapse
Fall or fragmentation, often caused by external invasions or internal erosion. Weakening of government checks & balances, rise of authoritarian figures.

Ex: US, now - ? Trumpism, isolationism, corporate control, kakistocracy, restricting rights under new regime.

Empires collapse not because they accept impermanence, but because they fight against it.

This talk explores the parallels between empire and ego, politics and karma, history and the path of liberation.

The U.S. turns 250, and history has a funny way of making certain anniversaries feel less like celebrations and more like warnings. Empires rarely notice the decline while they’re still calling themselves exceptional.

Boomers are nostalgic for how much better things used to be.

But forget the part where wealthy people were taxed over 90% from the 1940s-60s.

Want nice things? Less wealth inequality helps. A Lot.

(Also like so many things, Reagan screwed us all.)

America right now is peak embarrassment. A nation led by the dumbest, low brow, underqualified, childish amateurs. #fallofempires Nero and Caligula spring to mind. This presidency is going to set them back decades.

Pete Hegseth is not a serious person.
A tweet from Ron Filipkowski (@RonFilipkowski) says, "When you make a Twitter troll Secretary of Defense." Below, there is a screenshot of a tweet from Pete Hegseth (@PeteHegseth) discussing "Judge" Reyes as a military planner, sarcastically suggesting they report to Fort Benning to instruct Army Rangers on High Value Target Raids and then train Green Berets at Fort Bragg.

Well, the roman empire did not fall because of lead poisoning, neither will this be the cause for the fall of the US empire, but it will certainly be a symptom…

Rome didn’t collapse by accident. It fell from within: corruption, cruelty, and catastrophic leadership.
