i dont believe dems (or anyone) can opportunistically align with core MAGA on the hopes they are changing their mind in prep for a post-trump era. where was her diehard battle for epstein truth 2016-2020? or even 2024-now? ignore her, as she w…
how can it run deeper than trump himself?
i maintain he is deeply resentful that his daughter converted to marry-up the wealth ladder, had to grovel for loans his whole life from many financial leaders of jewish faith, and had similiar lifelong rel…
given covid and tariff rebounds, speculators are convinced garbage recovers no matter how far underwater.
as long as djt and meme coins have any value, so will bitcoin and tesla.
these trade on no intrinsic value anchor, nor very long\reliable hist…
it just takes gop voters to be be distracted by anyone under more suspicion than trump. and that information flow is under multiple control barriers.
an extremely low bar for rightwing media and MAGA pols.
i fully expect MTG to pull the focus anyw…
having read a bit more, it seems all the heavy administrative lifting is done by the companies that provide the etf. it is a relative minor issue whether vanguard will custody the etf . am seeing lower entry requirements than in 2024.

to every state their self-selected incompetents.
but trump will fill that gap even if it doesnt exist. so expect to continue a narrowing of state right's issues, including fully economic ones, based mostly on gop preferences.

sgx has long been a haven for companies desiring better governance (and appearance) than china\HK listings. they have been boosted by the 'china+1' and smaller full china departure trend for western trade partners, not to mention the frenemy positi…
what are the other exits?
currently when all else fails, there seems to be seem shuffling from one alt manager to another in order to justify\confirm marked value.
and there is the possibly related situation that all of them seem to have massive a…
not wishing this particular pope gives up on america.
but this MAGA is what america wanted. twice.
and those such are not going away nor getting smarter.
it seems that given the epstein momentum (since trump could not thwart, now claims to support), trump's strategy will be to distract via perception and\or reality that others were 'more' pedophilic than himself. if some gop also need be sacrificed…
am sure this crypto scam has well-normalized into the background of larger scale grift, none of which gop voters can distinguish from trump's indisputable business genius.
as FIRE, the youngsters prefer my career advice to investment advice !
when it comes to investments, they would rather hear\opine on what i have been doing, rather than what i would do in their situation (since that has previously been rather bori…
never mistaken as stable, mtg is in an unstable equilibrium as verbal & online threats are a norm of the gop identity.
she will either
a. be bribed to rejoin and re-parrot the cult.
b. be scared into silence via a situation facing actual harm;…
my interest here is that this has somehow become the only issue ever to stick to teflon don.
(not the destruction of american democracy, economy, and international standing, much to my dismay)
could it be some misplaced sense of moral superiority a…
remember the hundreds of credible and prominent lifelong gop that finally spoke out (too late) against trump in 2024? this is not that.
this is someone who built her entire career competing as the biggest trump sycophant, not to mention her bona …
this is the greatest con job in american history, because unlike all other issues, it goes against everyday experience of receipts and monthly payments.
either way is a 'win' for gop politicians among the bottom 80% :
- gop voters are told by th…
well, it has been a decade since the acceptance of outright lies and delusions only works as a 1-way street.
there was a tracker that probably went defunct after trump hit the 15k lies mark.
as always, let's safely assume trump wants to extort mone…
the only thing amazing here is that many of these notable names did not get promotions within the cult.
maybe their publicity value has diminished along with that of 2020 grievance.
having friends&family at AMD that remember rougher times, they pretty much all cash out at least $50k/yr in options ASAP and then may ponder further strategies around tax for remaining amounts above that.
am missing something here regarding timing of the shutdown\shutup. how many days will private jets not fly at those airports?
and why did this come after the substantial cuts already affecting public flights?
i dont see scotus ruling much more than a loyalty test.
trump has several paths to implement tariffs, or effective equivalent. but all those options are binding and more serious, and trump will lose his ability to make daily tariff threats & c…
not just that, but full year of higher rates soon to reverb on your 1040.
that was a partial reason i completed a major switch to short-term tax-free active funds post election.
i'll take the job for 10% cash upfront...as an at-will employee.
but on an hourly and effort basis, tesla directors would rate the wealthiest 'workers' in america.
rubberstamping executed in few hours\days per year, repeat for a decade.
the comey case will be the most embarrassing retribution fail on dock.
if that has any meaning to a shameless gop.
i ask MAGA again, how is this making any of you rich and better off today?
every ceo that thinks they have a plausible story in shifting to the upper K (more dollars, much smaller volumes) are yapping up the premiumization story.
~90% of the time its the same stuff in a different container, which means they hope enough …
its more likely cannon gets a trump promotion than comply. only 3 yrs left to grift!
fits perfectly with trump's 'what have u done for me lately' vibe.
nancy mace used an assault in her youth as a political issue for a few weeks until it was no longer getting her enough publicity.
i.e., a pillar of the now and future gop.
am excited to try out those last 2 !
have always been a latecomer to all my fav bands. most dont have music matches for holiday-themed lists, and this may be the longest.
i noticed m* seems to force a logout if switching to a new\infrequent network.
probably annoyance to discourage pwd sharing, too dumb to recognize device is the same.
good pbs segemnt.
step 1. remove objective staffers
step 2. promote a better process somehow with fewer resources (to control)
step 3. indefinite pause of data release
step 4. show result of shiny new models
step 5. crash currency and economy

pretending that the gop voters cared\understood any subtle things like inflation and the Cantillion effect is old 2024 news.
i had hopes regarding the more qualitative concept of affordability, with daily receipts and monthly payments, but even t…
in a cult, identity is stronger than any basic human need. the real question is whether this gop cult ends with trump, and i dont see why it would.
mike johnson first deflected, then lied, to a desperate gop caller who requested he call the house…
as stated by Canadians, despite this being a time-limited ad from a single province, the core truth hurts.
trump is a useless snowflake playing with the world's largest economy only for his personal grift and ego.
although i have no doubt matching…
