There's been a structure failure of the US.
Electoral college.
VP (who should have taken charge)
Congress, which should have impeached.

All broken.

One of the issues that I worry about is that the debts are so large they'll get written off when people retire.

Trump’s made it clear - give the US Greenland or we’ll attempt to ruin your economy. No backing away from what seems like an act of war now.
