I doubt the largest financial leaders care as they believe they will get another bailout. None of them will suffer without a home, a retirement, healthcare, childcare, and more. We are far surpassing the insanity point. Mitt Romney’s comment last month may be closer than many believe.

Schumer and hakim are sleeping through this catastrophe. Not a penny to the faux leaders.

Just met with the Hopium faithful on tonight's zoom call. What I'm wondering, Simon, is if you could get Sen. Schumer on a Hopium video, not to hear his canned spiel but to present to him your ideas that you elucidated tonight and get his response. I'd like to see something similar with Hakeem and Gavin and Pritzker too. Is that possible?

Ransom Rideout's avatar

YES, all of them.

Simon, this is a virtual big hug and thank you from me. I would not want to be alive in the USA today without Hopium Chronicles. You've given me hope, assignments, places to put my money that are vetted by a professional and a community I'm very proud to be a part of. Thank you.

Here is a simple, yet complex question, why doesn't WALL STREET push back? Corporate America?

Europe would be far more willing to deal with us, in the future, if we had a stalwart CONGRESS and SCOTUS. This requires the entire admin to be.....what? Don't know. Removed.

It isn't just Trump and his direct admin.

No one seems willing to talk against the SCOTUS. Why is this? Redress doesn't need to wait until the midterms, if we even get there, as now SSA data is an issue, the Kav stops is an issue, the non-release of the Epstein files is an issue, where is the money from the Venezuelan oil, the complete shadow docket is an issue, war powers have been extra-constitutional, deployment of the military/ICE and the money he's giving them to do extra-constitutional killings on our soil, healthcare, DOGE was never declared legal, where are the tariffs, and please don't say "removal" is because I'd like to know how Vance stands against him, currently.

Was this man ever DULY elected by paying off his crimes and accepting foreign money in cash bags?

THE ENTIRE ADMIN MUST GO......

Just remember, no one is talking about the fact that t-Rump is destroying our nation for Putins advantage and the media is La la la laaa!! Will Jack Smith talk about the Meuller Report tomorrow? The REPUBLICAN Senate Intelligence Committee determined that Russia was actively interfereing with the elction in 2015/16. What gives??

The only thing accelerating this madness is the Epstein Files that will destroy him. That is more important that analyzing narcisistic bullshitt to cover up the blinkin' FILES!!! Greenland and all the posturing is the distraction.

Come on Simon. Get with it.

Also, Simon, how about your reasonableness addressing the total lack of action on the part of the Democratic Party leadership that is sleeping calmly and proceedurally through a massive VIOLENT atack against the American PEOPLE? In the streets of our nation right now.

Have you ever read about Pearl Harbor? PH day was just last week. This attack that is paid for by OUR TAXES is every bit as violent as the Japanees attack in 1941. Who is defending us against this destruction of our nation.

Nicy nice proccedural Schummy doobie doo and Hack'm the Speakerly posturing must stop NOW!

THIS IS WAR!!!!!!! WAKE UP Mr Expert Polititico. Are we ready for 600,000 deaths of innocent people? Like the Civil War?

This spinelesness must end NOW!

We need to drill into everyone the message that Trump’s withdrawal from economic integration with Europe, with our neighbors Canada and Mexico, is not a “foreign policy” problem that can be ignored. It IS a major economic issue, as this conversation so clearly describes. One that dwarfs the cost of gas, groceries or even health insurance. Foreign holders of US Treasury securities, of US corporate debt, of US stocks can eviscerate our economy if they lose faith in the full faith and credit of US bonds or the dollar or dollar-denominated securities. Our banks, hedge funds, pension funds, people’s 401k’s could get wiped out. Jobs would evaporate as people pull back spending and companies collapse.

Yes, this is an extreme scenario. But we’ve been here before- 1929, through the ‘30’s.

This is the ultimate affordability issue. We need to make everyone understand this.
