I sincerely believe that there was a concerted effort to disillusion voters in 2016 and 2024. The whole push for Bernie bros to not vote for Hillary and the push to reject the Democrats for the Israeli-perpetrated genocide in Gaza felt so similar.

Obviously plenty of people did feel strongly that the Democrats weren’t worth supporting, but I think the initial push on both of those, and a large amount of the continued support for them, was perpetrated by people who wanted Trump to win. They didn’t have to convince people to vote for Trump, they just had to convince them not to vote for the Dems. These actors understand first-past-the-post voting well enough to weaponize it.

Do you have any idea the physical toll 3 tariffs have on the body?

It would be nice if we could limit it to one day a week.

This one is just pure stupidity. Border Control and Customs announces the exemption one day, Trump immediately walks it back the next, all while markets are still closed. A bunch of idiots probably bought options on Apple and are going to get absolutely screwed when markets open today. If I had to guess the exemption was planned and got out too early somehow.

There was no Tariff ‘exception’ announced on Friday,” he said

Feels like we are close to “We have always been at war with Eurasia.”

Hmm.

Economy go CRASH every time Republicans are in charge.

Hmmm.

Nah, we should definitely whine about a war going on between two other nations on the other side of the planet and boot the team that was recovering our economy by voting 3rd party or not voting at all.

That's working out great for us.

Was that almost a week in a steady state? Guess their brokers where on vacation and couldn't finish unloading their shares for a bit.

God this guy is a greasy fucker. Where did he appear from all of a sudden anyway? I heard he lived in the same building as Epstein.

He’s such a stupid cunt. Which is why I only bought back in with half the shit I liquidated in March.
