Trump Signals He Might Ignore the Courts | Yesterday, the president said that no judge “should be allowed” to rule against the changes his administration is making.

  • You could be a Scottie Pippen but most people still say "who?" compared to Michael Jordan.

    But yeah, the data I posted showed it basically only gained 8 points going from Vice President to President because he already had a decent approval before the assassination.

    There's other historical examples to compare by, though none in the modern era, but Andrew Johnson didn't get re-election and was even impeached.

    Chester Arthur also didn't win reelection. Although James Garfield didn't exactly serve long 😅 but he was also really popular when he was elected.

  • Hmmm, you're right.

    Seems like Johnson was more charismatic then Obama on second look I suppose

    • If scientists could make you immortal but could only do it by transferring your consciousness into a single video game for ever, which game would you choose?

    Jump

  • This brings up some questions. Like how realistic does the game look to the person trapped inside? Are censors that the game normally has still active? What about live service games or MMOs? Do you die if they go out of business and they take down the servers?

    But most importantly, how do I know I'll actually be uploaded into that video game?

  • I'm confused now. Yes, I've been saying Charisma was relevant, not so much sympathy, in his reelection.

    And that Charisma in part was named Jumbo.

  • Oh, I don't consider it charismatic.

    But it's definitely a power move that can fall under a type of charisma. It can definitely impress some in the right circumstances from my experience.

    I think because of the time period it was some sort of weird machoism thing. What Trump would want to pull off he didn't have a micropeen.

  • Oho they were not in the news, but DEFINITELY in the tabloids.

    Much like Kennedy's sexual escapades.

    Choice quote:

    When a journalist asked Johnson to justify the continuation of the Vietnam War (1955-1975), Johnson asked all the women to leave the room, then pulled out his penis, and yelled: “That’s why!”

    He also called it Jumbo.

    Fun fact: 60s probably had better sex ed than the USA does today too.

  • A third of what the dollar does isn't too bad (and better in SWIFT).

    I don't think Trump and his people are thinking much at all though, since doing what they're doing sounds like it would wipe out most of their wealth.

    And I know it would be a different economic system. What I'm asking is, is that actually bad in the long term?

    What has this system brought us? Excessive production accelerating climate destruction (how much will the economy matter then?), dependence on fossil fuels, and a rise to fascism?

    If the USA goes through Balkanization, would that truly be the worst outcome for the future of the world as a whole?

    Or put another way - is keeping the US empire worth the stability of the world economy as is? I think not, at least, especially with how things are going.

    That the EU could potentially come out on top is an optimistic take as far as I can see.

    It'll be terrible for the USA, but I still don't see how it would be terrible for the world. I'm old enough to remember countries that didn't rely on the dollar as much, and things were more affordable for the people of those countries then than now. The biggest influencer to me in economic growth seems to be improvements in science and technology rather than in dollars being used more.

    Maybe instead you could describe this damage for me, then, in a way I can better understand. If you have the time

  • Okay, I get all that.

    But, what you're describing sounds more like Covid lite, and this time the worst hit country is USA, which is more a service and software country that industrialized production one, rather than China, which is mostly material goods.

    I suppose oil yes, but I mentioned how that could also be a positive in a way, and EU has been weaning off oil fast already due to Russia. Sounds like if anything this would really help slow down climate change by crashing oil production logistics of anything.

    It also sounds like the Euro would greatly increase in value, enough to get a good deal of countries to join the EU that have good production and materials as well and balance out the severe deflation and get some supply chains back on quickly.

    Also the '08 financial crises in the USA helped the EU in the long run too.

  • As far as I understand, the recession that occured in 2008 era in Europe at least was in part due to lowered exports to the USA. But this time the EU economy is more diversified in part because of that event, and preparations had already been made because of Trump's first term.

    Again, not an economist, but my understanding is still this wouldn't impact us that much compared to others.

    And even the last recession that happened in the USA wasn't the worst that affected Europe. That was '92.

  • Okay, but does that mean the things I mentioned are wrong, and if so, how and why? I'm trying to figure it out here but I'm not an economist. I'm just thinking back to when something similar happened in history with the UK.

  • Russia has already defaulted on some loans. China's second biggest trade partner is USA (EU is first but trade is more balanced between the two than USA), so this would hurt China greatly as well.

    Seems to me EU would benefit the most.

  • Living in Finland, this sounds like a win to me with less repercussions for us than the USA. Wouldn't this make the Euro the strongest world currency, have Switzerland join the EU (along with Norway because of Petrodollars?) + Canada and Australia would be even more interested (because the commonwealth would be weakened), karmicly mess up China, free some Central American countries like El Salvador, speed up independence from fossil fuels, and also stop Israel's genocide campaign?

    I could be wrong, but that's just my understanding based on what you said.
