...If the guy was a threat, why drop charges. If he was not a threat, why did it take so long to release him?
Because Der Orange Fuhrer doesn't like him. I am nauseous reading and hearing about every bit of what goes on in this lawless, immoral, pu…
The Washington Post's slogan "Democracy Dies in Darkness" was introduced in 2017, shortly after Donald Trump's inauguration, and was intended to affirm the newspaper's mission to hold power accountable and provide truth in a time of perceived misinf…
He might very well be correct, if making money is the only consideration. This conversation is value-free, as in ethics-free. There's nothing in the world that could convince me to own the stocks he mentions, like Palantir.
Re: Carlson/Fuentes: just let me point out the naive and uncritical way they ignore the fact that the modern Israeli State is not the same thing as the biblical nation from thousands of years ago.
Whitney Webb, Chris Hedges. Video. "The Rise of The Thielverse." Hedges was one of a team which won a Pulitzer for his reporting years ago re: the Middle East for the NYT. When he told too much truth, he was fired. His father was a Presbyterian Mini…

Thx for the post. I enjoy Galloway's talks even though I am a hypocrite investing and working in tech. I bet he loves the film "The Social Network."
Eliminating the FICA limit and capping SS distributions would go a long way to solve some of the is…
Miserable bastards!
TRUTH. this is what happens when one of the "parties" (Repugnant) does not operate in good faith, does not take their oaths seriously. Treason, actually. Same with Orange Ratfart and the rest of his tong.
Sold my entire CAT position (200 shares) which was purchased in April. Reason was price appreciation. Purchased at $290/share and sold at $583/share. Sold entire GOOG position (900 shares) for the same reason, plus reducing AI exposure. Bought …
Fun fact, yes! These days, I (almost) envy him. And today at Chavez Ravine, the Dodgers could not manage to find the handle. Jays pitcher was on fire, no stopping him. Snell gave up home runs on each of the first 2 pitches, then settled down. But 1 …
So much fictitious pap. I borrow from Orange supporter James Woods in "True Crime" when he told uncle Clint: "I can't fart loud enough to tell you what I think of that."
This is a constitutional train wreck, but people just carry on.... At least those not personally affected. But just wait until Nov. 1st. The majority, the Repugnants in the Congress, have assumed the role of spectators. Their own lack of oversight s…
6-2 in Game 4. Jays win. Dodgers could not find the gas peddle. Ohtani hit a homer, but his pitching gave the game to the Birds.
How 'bout Kershaw in the clutch in Game 3 with bases loaded, eh?
Your responses to FD1k resonate with me. Consistent with HCR, lately, on The Bulwark. I heard her offer some political history, going back to the 1990s: the period when Gingrich the Newt was House Speaker. The Repugnant tactic of brinkmanship became…
In this case I'd rather just stick with J-Pow. Why? Any pick by this administration will just be doing whatever they are told to do. I haven't seen one selection for any position yet that did what was right or different vs. toeing the line. Willing…
Rieder is a well known media celebrity and smart money manager. Always upbeat. If selected it would probably be with the expectation he could serve as market ”cheer-leader” as they pull out the stops to try to keep the pig flying another year. B…
Not adding to US equities, no. Reinvesting dividends is all. Adding in baby-bite sized chunks to foreign. Can't see why my financials are faltering lately. One is foreign, one is based in a US Territory: Panama and P.R. But they both use the dollar,…
