Global stock markets have crashed overnight, the United States is set to have one of the worst stock market days in recent history, recession fears are rising fast, and Trump will not lift his tariffs
I want to be BORED. I am TIRED of living in interesting times. I am 50, so far I had either personally witnessed or witnessed by proxy: Chernobyl disaster, Challenger disaster, fall of the Soviet Union, I don't know how many school shootings, 9/11, Iraq war, annexation of Crimea, full-scale invasion of Ukraine, COVID, Hurricane Helene, recent fires in Western North Carolina, and of course, Trump 1.0 and - in progress - Trump 2.0. I am SO DONE. Stick a fork in me.
Ditto....same here....I was a kid, but I remember the Nixon Watergate fiasco and him resigning. I was very young but remember jfk's assassination, rfk assassination, mlk assassination.....Charles Manson and Ted Bundy....all those horrific serial killers....but THIS shit with the orange Mussolini is off the charts. I'm no longer able to sleep at night, it's affecting my health, all this nonstop dystopian hellscape we're living in. 😭
See, you totally get it. And none of this includes whatever goes on in your personal life. Because we all still have to function, do our jobs, take care of our families. For example, my mother's cancer returned the year after Chernobyl (not a coincidence), and we lost her between that and the fall of the Soviet Union, and then my favorite aunt died the year OF the fall of the Soviet Union.
When 9/11 happened, followed by the backlash first against Muslims and then against all immigrants, I was still in the immigration system and terrified.
I was sworn in as a US Citizen just before 2008 election and President Obama was the first US President I voted for. That was a time of great hope, and I miss it.
And stuff like that happens to everyone - we have to adult while the world is falling to pieces.
I'm so sorry about your mother and aunt, that's always hard to cope with....I'm glad you are an American citizen, it's beautiful people like you who make the country proud. Somehow, we'll have to stay strong and do our best to survive.....we cannot let them win, we can't let them rewrite the history books either. They're already trying to do that. Hang in there 🙏💕
I feel you. I'm 68. Retired last fall and seeing my 401K disappear is frightening.
Not only my shrinking life savings, but seeing and feeling the division between family and friends is more than stressful. I never thought American's could be so hateful and uncaring for fellow human beings. I guess I was naive or blind to it all these years.
I did attend a Hands Off protest on Saturday with my daughter and granddaughter. It was comforting to see so many people protesting against this current regime and the injustices they have bestowed upon our country. It broke my heart to see the hateful and lying responses from friends and neighbors concerning our protest but I am more determined than ever to continue to fight for my children and grandchildren.
I went to the march in NYC and it was great to be with so many like minded people. All age attendance. Happy surprise how many folks were out in the rain and happy to be there just like me.
It is tiring! It's essential work out, spend time outside, have fun, do the things you love to do, read a limited amount of news and turn that into action. If we inundate ourselves with the news and lose balance it is not sustainable. We all have to keep our balance daily so we can fight what is happening but be happy warriors and meanwhile keep showing up for ourselves and the people in our lives. Take good care of yourself!
Ok... not sure if it's good or bad. I know the feds are their own planet - learned that while working in banking some years ago. But considering the catastrophic nature of the stock market downturn... This is rather an emergency - they really should say SOMETHING.
Please, no disparaging the fine name of the poodle breed by making the comparison....let's call them the flying maggot morons 😉.....I don't think they are all in the federal reserve, it's kind of an independent entity...but I'm not certain.
I am terribly sorry - you are absolutely right. I should not have said that about poodles. They are smart working dogs - please accept my apologies. Honestly? These people are so horrid I don't want to compare them to ANY living creature. Like... even maggots serve a purpose in the ecosystem. And what purpose do THESE serve?
Really sad that we could've had good standing relationships with the world, 25k for first time home owners and a stable economy but people wanted egg prices to come down. Which didn't even happen. I hate it here.
Ditto and that was at Aldi which usually much less expensive than our other local grocery stores. Ooh, there’s that “old fashioned word, grocery, groceries”. It’s a bag with food in it …🙄🤪😂
This is gonna cause a lot of self ending for many people. They worked their whole life and it's wiped out in a few days. And he does not care. He's gonna be able to buy low.
Very sadly, a man committed suicide on the train tracks not far from where I live and his sons died trying to save him. We may never know (and it's not my place to know), but I've been wondering if it's related to all the chaos 47 has created and the damage he and his administration are causing. From what I've read, this man was a very kind soul and a beloved friend to many in our community. He worked helping unhoused people, so I imagine he was seeing the suffering from a different perspective than most. I hate to even think about reading more stories like this...it's so overwhelmingly devastating. 🥺💔😭🙏🏻
Oh, that is terrible. I am so sorry - your community must be absolutely shattered. This is awful. And yes, you are definitely not alone in being concerned that more of this is coming.
My deepest condolences to your community. What a heartbreaking story. I fear it will not be the last one we hear or read about. It is, in my opinion, directly related to #47 and the gutless, elected members of both political parties. Shame on all of them!
This is so sad. One man’s incompetence has done this to the world. We are going to take forever to recover from this. I will not buy anything except what is needed
Not quite one man. The entire GOP in Congress has enabled him. They could have stopped these tarrifs in their tracks but didn't. And they just nixed an ammendment to the new budget eliminating tax breaks for billionaires, while most people are loading their retirement funds.
I just saw a comment thread of people trying to explain to a random maga how checks and balances work. In the most basic way. The original comment said “stay out of the executive branches lane!!!” Didn’t everyone learn this in middle school?
All I want is one, just one day without major historical events. As a millennial, I’m tired…

I feel all of this. Stay strong 🫶🙌
That’s what asshat wants! Stand tall and don’t lose faith.🍀

Me too I’m so tired of this BS
I think we’re all tired😒

As a boomer, me too!
Ditto, this is so exhausting.
Black Monday (2025 Version). ARE WE GREAT YET?
The world hates us.
He hates us.
I can't think of a good reason right now why it shouldn't and it's all because of this administration and our gutless Congress.
This is so embarrassing.
Fr 😭
The federal reserve should tell Trump to fuck right off
and do it sideways!! 😉
Aren't his poodles in charge there too?
No.. Jerome Powell is in charge despite Trump trying to get him to resign. He said they aren’t making any decisions at this time.

You're right, the maggots serve a vital role too.....those bastards serve no useful purpose. They're a disgrace to the species.
Really sad that we could've had good standing relationships with the world, 25k for first time home owners and a stable economy but people wanted egg prices to come down. Which didn't even happen. I hate it here.
Did he said food prices are down? 🤣🤣🤣
I literally spent almost $100 on groceries yesterday and I didn’t buy any meat. 😞
Same! But I spent $125
Ditto and that was at Aldi which usually much less expensive than our other local grocery stores. Ooh, there’s that “old fashioned word, grocery, groceries”. It’s a bag with food in it …🙄🤪😂
Most disturbing post on his part. He needs to be put away.
He's completely delusional, and a pathological liar, so yeah.
Not according to my grocery order yesterday. 😂
Yes, he did on his truth social platform. He said we don’t have inflation and everything is lower than ever. Yesterday!
He's friggin delusional 🤬
A bag of apples yesterday was 8 dollars…I’m looking at my grocery bill like where do I cut and it’s all essentials. No meat.
Yup, and that what was going on was "beautiful"... and posted another picture of himself playing golf.
This is gonna cause a lot of self ending for many people. They worked their whole life and it's wiped out in a few days. And he does not care. He's gonna be able to buy low.

Oh that poor man & his family, so sad 😢.....I'm sure the current situation we're in can seriously affect our health....I fear it will only get worse 😞
My deepest condolences to your community. What a heartbreaking story. I fear it will not be the last one we hear or read about. It is, in my opinion, directly related to #47 and the gutless, elected members of both political parties. Shame on all of them!
I was mistaken, one of the sons took his life and his father and brother died trying to save him. Just devastating all around. 😭💔
That is awful. I have been worrying this would drive some people to personal despair and am so sorry to hear this. Tragic.
Sadly, their policies are aimed at mass depopulation 😥🤬😳
But we need to have more babies because the birth rates! 🙄
😢
i live paycheck to paycheck already dude 🫥💔
This is so sad. One man’s incompetence has done this to the world. We are going to take forever to recover from this. I will not buy anything except what is needed
Not quite one man. The entire GOP in Congress has enabled him. They could have stopped these tarrifs in their tracks but didn't. And they just nixed an ammendment to the new budget eliminating tax breaks for billionaires, while most people are loading their retirement funds.
And the Americans who failed to vote AND the MAGAs.
Nearly 90 million Americans that didn’t vote, because they think their vote wouldn’t matter, is why we are in this mess
Every GOP in congress enabling him is a traitor to this country. They simply don’t care.
I just saw a comment thread of people trying to explain to a random maga how checks and balances work. In the most basic way. The original comment said “stay out of the executive branches lane!!!” Didn’t everyone learn this in middle school?
Apparently not....😞
Where are food prices down at??? 2 bags $80.00 and it will not even last me a week. Middle finger to this idiot and his cult members
the President is delusional! No prices anywhere are down
Why are we letting him destroy the worlds markets, he needs to be stopped and placed in a home where he cannot destroy anything
Are we winning yet?
They need to get him and the heritage foundation out!! Including the speaker of the house
Frump has literally posted on his page that he don't give an "F" who doesn't like him! And another post that Tariffs are a Beautiful thing!!!!
He isn’t lowering rates. That’s a pipe dream. Tariffs are inflationary. The orange taint better lay off the drugs.
Where are the Republicans who could stop his madness with a single vote?
Mike Johnson and his “one long day” just as responsible as CF 47. FAFO
Neither party has offered a solid candidate in years, but it was still clear who would be worse for America.
