Ain’t it a bitch? I’m seeing a lot of “goodbye america” speeches by various hosts and guests on TV today. Wondering if there’s something they know that we don’t…???

Yeah, “Goodbye America” is definitely popping up more — sounds like a mix of despair, warning, and gallows humor from folks watching the wheels come off.
