If I weren't in the USA...
5 years ago
I'd be LAUGHING my butt off at the show of utter incompetence and nonsense.
A "coup" (with more people than NORMANDY and almost nothing happened! Huh? And Mr. Horned Helmet Man... and an *entourage* of camera-bearers.. gee, THAT wasn't staged as Hell, was it?). A real coup looks like Myanmar/Burma. Not "Please go home in peace."
The sad thing? The lying is only going to get worse.
For all Trump's faults (and there are plenty) he has the sense to be quiet right now.
Let Biden/Harris dig their reputation's grave all by themselves, with nobody but themselves to blame.
Me? I'm hoping I can get by in the coming disaster. I don't know what disaster, exactly, but Depression, Famine, War all look increasingly probable. If we're *really* lucky, it'll only be as bad as the 1970's. I am not that optimistic. I wish I could be. I fear I cannot afford to be.
If you are in a country that somehow depends on the USA (monetary aid, trade, defense, food aid) make contingency plans - you're gonna need them. Damnit.

Of course, the "best time to buy" is ALWAYS "six months ago." Doesn't matter what.
My *immediate* concern is heating fuels.
