Ya, the days go by faster and faster. My final single-stock divvy for '25 will arrive already, next Friday. My son has his Christmas gift money from us now, already. Next week, MFs will start paying in quick succession. Misty little rain shower here…
Ya, he's worse, but it's difficult to measure, since he started in the first place with zero knowledge about the Constitution and the very purpose of government. Everything to him is about the Benjamins. That's the frame he instinctively sees around…
The Orange regime is quite simply disastrous, through negligence, deliberate actions taken, indifference, and rudderless "leadership" which is serving the interests of Trump and his family and their cronies. This is to say nothing of the fact that …
Dementia or Alzheimer's? Both? can't even keep himself awake at cabinet meetings. Time for the 25th. Long past time. It was time already, at the start of his FIRST term.
English, much? "Thank you Tennessee" is obviously intended to be using Direct Address. These people get elected to be in the US Congress, and don't even know where a COMMA is required. Jayzuz.
Can't win if you don't VOTE.

Years ago, I lived in ski country south of Buffalo. Only place I ever lived where the Town took responsibility for plowing the public sidewalks. We had to do our own, leading to the front steps. So much snow. The workers might show up at 4:00 a.m. i…
@FD1000: Evidently it will come as a surprise to you that I am very familiar with everything on your list. I am an avid absorber of news and history.
So what? Are you suggesting that because those things are true it gives your president Trump the r…
Politicians of both parties are indeed corrupt. But there is a significant difference in scale. There's several zeros between 300K and 3B.
The scale of corruption in this current administration and insider circle is staggering and unprecedented. D…

Forbes, above:
"...But now, after reclaiming the White House—and cashing in on the power that comes with it—he can pretty much do anything he wants."
Talked their way right past the Emoluments clause. Way to go.
There is a stillness I enjoyed indoors while it snows, even a raging and windy snowstorm. All else just sucks. I've got a mind to start a New Year resolution, and get out more, to the beach.

Connected to those methods of self-protection you suggest, I have lately bought into the iShares EWS ETF. All foreign companies, specifically in Singapore. It's concentrated, with three-fourths of assets in the top 10. But that's also a reflection o…
My own owned ETF is an iShares beast connected to BlackRock. I'm wondering what will happen to my stake in EWS. Paying a fee to buy, sell or add shares is a no-go for me.
"More and more of his sycophantic "tools" may begin to suspect that they will end up like so many others:
Giuliani, Powell, Lindell, etc.
They may try and escape his orbit before the gravity makes that impossible."
I think I've mentioned this on th…
