There is a massive distance between anti and non. Just because someone isnt calling them selves anti-fascists, like the weirdos you are unwittingly following, does not make everyone else pro.
Are you saying Trump is not a fascist? Because he very clearly is. There are masked men with guns and unmarked vehicles disappearing human beings off the streets. A brand new concentration camp just dropped in Florida. There are book bans, the erasing of history and the elimination of entire groups of people. This is absolutely fascism. Which side are you on?
Make love, fuck war, peace will save us.

The US stock market on Friday hit an all-time high, its first since mid-February. It marked the culmination of a remarkable recovery on Wall Street since the S&P 500 was flirting with bear market territory in early April.

The S&P 500 gained 0.5%, to close at a record 6,173.07. It marked the first new record high since February 19.
The sky is falling! The sky is falling!
The value of the dollar has dropped over 10%. We are just back to levels before all of this tariff nonsense with a lot less faith in our currency world wide.

That's a good thing unless you're vacationing in other countries. A lower valued dollar = more foreign countries buying US goods
Understanding What a Weak Dollar Means

A weakening dollar implies several consequences, but not all of them are negative. A weakening dollar means that imports become more expensive, but it also means that exports are more attractive to consumers in other countries outside the U.S. Conversely a strengthening dollar is bad for exports, but good for imports. For many years the U.S. has run a trade deficit with other nations--meaning they are a net importer.

A nation which imports more than it exports would usually favor a strong currency. However in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, most of the developed nations have pursued policies that favor weaker currencies. A weaker dollar, for example, could allow U.S. factories to remain competitive in ways that may employ many workers and thereby stimulate the U.S. economy. However there are many of factors, not just economic fundamentals such as GDP or trade deficits, that can lead to a period of U.S. dollar weakness.

Omg, hi! I haven’t seen you around here forever.

Agree with your point here. I am the only person on my team at work that isn’t in Europe, and I can say for sure there’s been a not so subtle shift in how they talk about the US and everything going on (the director of my team from Spain recently referred to Trump as “this fucking guy” on a team call 😂). I’m looking at taking vacation when I’m there later this summer for work, and the current exchange rate is a stark reminder of how poorly things are going.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law an overhaul of California’s landmark environmental protection rules that he says is essential to address the state’s critical housing shortage and long-running homeless crisis.

The Democratic governor widely seen as a potential 2028 presidential candidate called the two-bill package a historic reshaping of environmental rules that, while initially well intentioned, too often resulted in tangles of litigation and costly delays that strangled much-needed development.
"well intentioned", lol. This is your classic liberal bullshit. Leftys don't think things through. Save the planet! They'll sign any petition and think anything that includes alternate energy is a good thing. Liberals pass law after "well intentioned" law that sounds good to their ignorant base that completely fucks up the economy.'

Look mom! I attended a protest (and took a lot of selfies of myself berating the police!) . It now requires 1000 environmental inspections before a tree can be chopped down! I feel so good about myself! ...and now no one can build and no one can afford a fucking home. Nice job!

These liberals will still think they did something magnificent. The soccer moms that felt good about themselves donating to Black Lives Matter...lol..is there any individual that took your BLM money not brought up on fraud charges or in jail?

All you did was tarnish the legacy of Aunt Jemima. One of the greatest fat black ladies to ever live and she was taken off syrup bottles because..my god..it's a fat black lady wearing a dew rag! Must be bad! No one bothered to look at her history.
