Gold, Dollar, USA and the World: A new Global Financial System Ahead? J.D. Vance and Trump fundamentally changing the US toward Multipolarity?

[Cosmos]

Another thing I noticed about Vance:

While at times he is much better than most politicians to not appear that way he still does; He gives of the vibes of “a typical political robot“ in his speech patterns and body language for a lack of a better description. That is also something that I noticed about Tulsi, who is one of the people I was and continue to be skeptical about. Of course talking and behaving in such manners doesn’t have to mean anything, although I have to note it when I see it. What seems to stand out for me with some if not most of the people in high positions that we can be fairly certain that they are at the very least decent is that they don’t seem to exhibit such typical “political robot“ like behaviors.

I agree that we should not expect any of the Trump administration to be the "real deal"

I interpreted "real deal" to mean that Vance, in general, is who he appears to be.

It would actually be better if he was not who he appears to be - a technocrat-financed puppet who can give some nice speeches that resonate with MAGA.

Last post here dated Sep 20?!! And the thread name changed?

Like most, became consumed by the Kirk assassination and this is the first I've gotten back to this thread. And of course, the new session posted as well. Deciding which thread is most appropriate for which posts has gotten a bit complicated. Israel/Palestine Gaza, Ukraine/Russia, Venezuela all now in the mix!

OK, so here's this which I assume is the best place to post it:

Judge drops bomb on Trump's Gaza deportation drive in stunning First Amendment showdown

A federal judge has ruled that Donald Trump's push to deport students and academics opposed to Israel's war in Gaza is a deliberate attack on free speech.

US District Judge William Young, a Reagan appointee, said: 'The effect of these targeted deportation proceedings continues unconstitutionally to chill freedom of speech to this day.'

The scathing 161-page ruling, which the judge described as the most significant of his career, halts an 'ideological deportation' campaign which plaintiffs argued was designed to suppress dissent on college campuses.

Young rebuked Trump personally in the fiery ruling, claiming that the president sought only 'retribution' with 'disdain' for the constitution.

Sorry, Donald - you can't EO the First Amendment or otherwise proclaim it null and void for whatever situation you deem!

It is a back and forth, and I just don't know what to make of him.

I'm hoping Vance is a for real white hat, but the verdict is still out at this point. Have to watch out for wishful thinking.

On another note, I was wondering who could possibly pick up Charlie's mantle and effectively carry it on. Serious doubts regarding Erika for that. Well, it looks like that person instead is going to be Tucker Carlson! And isn't that quite the surprise hit to the ones who took Charlie out! Doubled teamed by Tucker and Candace!!

I suppose that's not the "stranger than can be imagined" reference, but still, what a shocker!

Don't worry. An enthusiastic and young replacement has just crawled out of the woodwork, and straight into the lime-light, with a funny-looking name at that (Brilyn Hollyhand).

That's sort of a lesson here. If you're forever goaded to follow the politics and philosophies of another, you will find yourself treading through a trail not of your own making, and you will emerge into a strange clearing of wonders re-told!

The alternative is just to go with the flow of what your heart tells you to be true (beyond the whole shock and awe spectacles, you know).
