All other things aside. I just don't think trump is capable of doing anything but shooting himself in the foot. All someone has to do is wave money under his nose and he will betray the country and himself.
For him it's all about the money. I've always felt russia bribed him to stay out of ukraine, and will do it again.
The Saudi's and israel probably lined his pockets to attack Iran.
I think that was always their intention. Much like the October attack against israel.
They wanted the inter monster to come out and show itself. And it has. We have been doing evil shit for a century or so, but now it's all out in the open and half the country revels in it.
But they are sitting naked on the living room floor rocking back and forth in a meth induced psychosis while clutching an assault rifle illegally modified for full auto.
But you can go farther back to Reverend Jerry Falwell and the moral majority. That was the point when the republican base started saying no more negotiations, no more deals. We want what we want, and if we have to elect morally bankrupt people to get it we are okay with that. This was the seed of our modern dictatorship and project 2025.
Let's be honest, this grew to maturity under W and blossomed under Trump.
They wanted mindless obedience, and they got mindless obedience, and I think they are okay with it. As long as they keep winning elections.
I remember when we went into Iraq under W, how anyone going over to work there had to pass an ideology test, with questions about abortion.
These were never smart people, just obedient. It's only now that they have so massively fucked up under trump that all of a sudden they want smart people.
If they manage to extract themselves from iran, they will kick the smart ones to the curb and go back to mindless loyalty.
I'm getting over 4% at suncoast credit union and Vanguard Vusxx is paying 3.65%
You need to shop around.
VUSXX is the ticker symbol for the Vanguard Treasury Money Market Fund, a mutual fund designed for capital preservation and liquidity rather than stock-like growth.
Yes to building societies. But like credit unions do your research before joining.
I didn't know whether to mention them because they don't exist everywhere. And they had some scandals a while back. I'm not current about their situation in all the different countries that operate them.
Like any other service company they can go down hill. Also wall street and the banking industry. HATE them because they giver better service at a lower cost. The for profit finacial industry keep getting laws passed to lock credit unions out of sectors.

It's just who he is, shallow and greedy.
