Nothing needs to go up. Shorting stocks lets you make money off of them when they go down. If a person or group of people can cause a crash and know in advance what day it’s happening, they can borrow stocks and then buy the stock to repay the loan at a lower price and pocket the change.
Do you think Trump, Musk and their oligarch insider friends maybe, just maybe, opened short positions on a bunch of stock ahead of the new tariff announcement?
They are hoping to squeeze 2 years out of Trump, so they can give Vance two terms instead of one.
If there is a god, he’s incompetent at best, and more likely, an asshole who is doing this shit on purpose.
I never understood why anyone finds Trump appealing. I watched less than half an episode of The Apprentice because it was on at my uncle’s house. All I could think was, what a fat, ugly, childish, idiot Trump was. But my boomer uncle used to run around saying “you’re fired!” like it was the coolest phrase he had ever heard. BTW that same uncle is unable to read. That didn’t stop him from voting for Trump.
According to the constitution, only congress can levy or collect taxes. BTW that makes the IRS an illegal organization since they are part of the executive branch.
So they will use the detained people to make Soylent Green.
It’s a stepping stone to bigger and better things. Nazi Germany didn’t start off with exterminating Jews. The first people they exterminated were the mentally and physically disabled. When they got away with that, they began to expand to kill other groups. The MAGA United States is now getting away with disappearing people, without due process, by saying they are foreigners. Your demographic could be next.
Communism is democracy in the workplace. Capitalism is authoritarianism in the workplace.
You mean, when Musk dissolves congress?
So, what? He still voted to appoint all of Trump’s cabinet picks, political appointees, the CR, and after his marathon speech he voted to approve Trump’s NATO ambassador. Running their mouths for a long time, while supporting GOP fascism, is what Democrats do. That, and asking for money to “fight the good fight.”
And the moment he was done running his mouth, he voted to confirm Trump’s NATO ambassador pick. Democrats run their mouths to try to raise money for their party. They don’t care about America or the working class. They just want campaign donations.
While I agree that arson is wrong and should be illegal, it wasn’t a federal crime last time I checked. This should be handled by the state attorney general in the state where it happened.
This literally happened to my great grandfather in the late 1920s. He bought a car, got distracted by the sight of a pretty lady, and drove into a swamp. He was yelling “whoa! whoa!” and pulling back on the steering wheel while the car went off the road. That is what he had done his whole life to stop a horse drawn buggy in an emergency. He told my grandfather, who was riding with him at the time, that he could have the car if he could get it out of the swamp. He said he was going back to his horse and buggy because a horse wouldn’t have run off the road into a swamp no matter what he looked at. He continued to use a horse and buggy for all of his transportation needs until he died in the mid 1960s. #FuckCars
A reminder to people who call this an act of violence, it isn’t. Violence can only be committed against living things. This is arson which is a type of vandalism. If there are people or animals inside, then it’s violence. If only property is damaged it’s vandalism or sabotage, depending on the purpose of the damage.
How else was I going to play pirated music in my car?
So the rest of us get to starve because universal basic income is “communism”. There already isn’t enough work for the masses. A common tractor used for farming replaces hundreds of human laborers. Who is going to buy the crops if the people have no money? These rich assholes don’t think very well.
Her crime was not that she had a private email server, which contained no classified information; her crime was that she was born without a penis. These MAGA fascists are about White patriarchal Christian theocratic corporate oligarchy. If you are a WASP, male and wealthy, nothing is forbidden. I you aren’t then nothing is permitted.
Try wrapping it in aluminum foil. You can test to see if it works by trying to call your phone from another phone while it’s wrapped up.
