Black dude at my job who is a pretty regular sensible guy talking about he likes Nina Turner. The way a lot of Black folks are so gullible to these voter suppression opps is alarming.

This collapse is extraordinary. I'm now convinced PSG sent Mbappe to ensure we don't win anything this year.

🚨Bond market is in meltdown
China could now pull the coldest move in economic history. If it sells its Treasury positions, interest on debt will rocket & the US will go into a debt cost spiral.
It WOULD collapse the US economy. Trump has pushed the US to the edge of the cliff.
