I’m seriously concerned that the market is going you crater in the next year, do what is the rational investment strategy? Trust Buffett and buy BRKB? Try to weather the storm with VOO? Buy treasury bonds?
The worst part of this is that Trump's followers are never going to blame him for this. They will find someone, anyone else to make responsible. He will stay in power, things will get worse, and they'll keep pointing the finger at absolutely anyone except for him. We'll be lucky if he and his ilk are out of power sometime in the next decade.
Nah. Just talk to people. Not behind a screen. So many more people saying wtf than go Trump.
I am european, and I don't really know if it's really a bad thing for europe. I would say it's bad to lose an ally like the US, especially for defense, but what about trade? The problem is that american hegemony also bother some people, and those people dislike Trump but are they still happy for the US to be less strong? I would bet there are some europeans who are happy about the US slowing down, but I don't think t…
The Republican party holds the majority (barely) in both houses of Congress. In order to impeach, a majority in the House of Representatives has to vote for it (unlikely) then the Senate becomes the jury for the trial, and needs a two-thirds majority (extremely unlikely) to convict. The only way an impeachment is likely to happen is post-2026 elections. If the Democrats (there is no other party, unfortunately) gain the majority in both houses and a supermajority in the Senate (or the remaining Republicans are more centrist, unlikely), then an impeachment and conviction could happen.

Tell your representatives to get their head out of their asses? Democrats: why aren't you more engaged with this? Republicans: How did lowering grocery prices turn into dismantling the services of our government, kissing Putin's rear, and daydreaming about Trump Hotel Gaza? Also, let your friends, family, and loved ones know how you feel.
They have minorities in both houses, and the Republican majority is currently refusing to impeach the president for seizing unconstitutional powers to do things that they want to see done.
This has shattered any sane legislative process: Even if legislators reach a compromise and pass a new law, Republicans will just ignore the parts they strongly dislike. Again.
