A disaster of his own making. Court found the tariffs to be illegal, but granted him ample time to appeal. Feces. It's all of his making, but the rest of us have to pay. Is he dead yet?

Scarlet Fu again.
High Grade issuance in USA and Europe is at a record, this week. $197B in the States. This week, Junk issuance is at a record, $48B. Busiest week in 5 years. There is a borrowing boom, surely on the heels of the recen…
@Crash- if you watched PBS News Hour tonight (Friday) do you still think that there hasn't been a definite change in the tone of their reporting on the White House?
I was smiling. The news as it is doesn't need to be tilted or slanted in order for t…
...add this:
I heard first-hand from my friend in B.C. that they have just gained 35 new doctors who wish to move to Canada and flee all of the nonsense they had been putting up with in the States connected to our bullshit, rage-inducing, ball of …
Comey's timing re: Hillary's emails was really, extremely, utterly, dreadfully bad. But I believed his explanations were genuine.
Orange Flatulence has no case. This is junk.
@Old_Joe I watch PBS Newshour pretty regularly, almost every night. My impression is still that they are quite even-handed. You and I both noticed the point I made, above. They gotta fill airtime, of course.
Clearly, a big part of the Repugnant strategy since.... Ralph Reed, Ronny Ray-guns and Gingrich the Newt has been to hobble government, slice away at anything that might hold Big Money accountable. By now, Repugnant "leadership" has evolved to the p…
Friend is a schoolbus driver. He tells me the "security" camera was used to demerit a co-worker who was "caught" just momentarily closing his eyes AT A RED LIGHT. This whole business has gone way too effing far.
Yup. Come to think of it, I dunno why my 3 single-stocks have not been assigned negative beta! But they were up while all else in the portfolio was down. Overall, on 25th Sept, '25:
down by -0.29%.
Stuff can't go up in a straight line. Mr. Market c…
Watch this unpresidential, goofy, narcissistic, crazy-ass, unhinged, barking-mad, false, childish nonsense. Then I dare you to tell me the U.S.A. is not totally fucked under the Orange regime.
From Wednesday: HCR. I am 100% in sympathy. I just don't share her perspective (and Robt. Reich's) that because of all the heightened nutso junk out of the Orange regime, the tide has turned and a lot more people are being confronted by the reality …
Wednesday, 24th Sept, '25.
2 of my 3 single-stocks were up. All else was red. Worst performer: BLX. ET roused from slumber and surged. We'll see what tomorrow brings for THAT one. Can't explain it. I've seen no news.
'the U.S. will continue to supply weapons to NATO “for NATO to do what they want with them.”'
Um, hey, YOU! Ya, YOU! Orange moronic vapid lump: The USA is itself a member of NATO, jerk-face.
FOTUS will continue to give lip-service toward tightenin…
Conclusion of June, '25 newsletter:
"...As total credit in the US and global system continues to grow over the next five or ten years, scarce assets at reasonable valuations are likely to continue to be worthwhile things to own. This can include hig…
Ya, tricked-out, expensive heavy trucks. Anytime I see a commercial, with the automatic false presentation of the actual cost--- I marvel that anyone would purchase one. Those things are advertised now featuring SIX year loans, or else a (bit) cheap…
Recent polling suggests that the upper crust....the richest Americans...have been tilting back towards approval of Trump because they:
1) Don't really feel the effects of inflation like the rest of us do on a day to day basis.
2) Are currently enjo…
Yes. VERY smart, AND humble. So, I'm sad we've lost him, and at such a relatively young age. Happily, he had already made it clear that his family will be well taken care of, because of his decisions.
I am getting impatient with ET (LP.) Thinking the recent "going nowhere fast" share price might be a buying opportunity. Midstream oil/gas. That sucker continues to attract positive attention and a projected share price of $21.00 but it's drowning l…
@WABC. my sense of humor is such that I am wondering if the hiatus will be longer than my days. I am old enough that my wife and I spent 3 years sailing the sea of Cortez and saving money because double digit interest rates on our savings more than…
Americans might be seen as just a bunch of high risk bombastic pathological liars and be dismissed without vetting.
At least registered Repugnants would surely qualify on that basis.
I've stood up at the several protests that have been organized nationwide. It does get attention in the news. But as for concrete action that matters directly upon the Rule of Law? Well... The courts at EVERY level have been packed with Orange sympa…
What good will more passports do you in a detention camp for "left-wing terrorists"?
Difficult for me to think that you missed my point. A choice of passports permits the holder to land elsewhere in order to escape the mountain of Orange feces.
