I love how the U.S. spent like 90 years building up soft power around the world and we are giving it all up in like a 3 month span.

Every person in charge of an agency, is literally not qualified to run a grocery store let alone the agencies they run.

Its alll about loyalty now, and its going to send the U.S. back into the dark age.

We were already a 3rd world country in comparison to most of our allies. Now we are speedrunning becoming a 7th world country

That's dumb, leave the U.S. sometime. Despite the problems in the U.S., we are still one of the richest countries on the planet. I went to a plant in Mexico for work a few years ago, and there were people living in sheds with no running water, entire neighborhoods of that. Outside of homeless people, even our poorest people have it better than a lot of other countries.
