..and in other news

I find it funny the gnashing of teeth and spreading of fear from the left over tariffs. Y'all look quite silly. The rest of the sane people were not worried at all.
When are those tariffs going into effect, Midnight? What, they have been called off already? Wow I guess the failed businessman finally listened to the markets and the huge sell off today. What a joke.

The failed businessman, who had the Dems hand him MULTIPLE BILLIONS ?

Like I, who sold Puts that I bought after 2 PM on Friday afternoon and sold this morning, before 10 AM.

Two different companies making OVER 60 % EACH trade on BOTH companies.

Ya, a real black Monday 🤪 Your freak outs might work better on the MSNBC board.

The tariffs are delayed 30 days while they work out the rest of his "asks".

I have invested in at least 5 companies that didn't make it and I do not have near the money to play with Trump does.

Does it keep you up at night that he is way up in net worth right now? Show me on the doll where it hurts you.
 
If you consider being MAGA as "conservative," then I am obviously not conservative.

If you consider being a Reaganite as "conservative," then I am quite clearly conservative no matter how much it pains you.

You can like both men ... but there are huge gaps between them on issues like the free market, immigration, America's role in the world, and the expected behavior of American leadership, among other matters. I side with Reagan on every dispute.
There is very little space between Trump and Reagan on the free market. Reagan placed quotas on Japanese vehicles and placed tariffs on their electronic goods they were dumping in the US. Name the phony wars Reagan fought? Zero. He spent money rebuilding the military to bankrupt the Soviet Union. Mid first term he called the Soviets “the focus of evil in the modern world”…an “evil empire”, if you will. He was considered a cowboy and the Commies thought all he could think of was confrontation. Not much different with Trump.

Reagan went into Grenada. His Navy aircraft shot down some Libyan SU-22’s that got a little too promiscuous with the carrier fleet. Peace through strength. Not too dissimilar from what Trump had going.

Trump lowered taxes, much the same as Reagan, much the same as Kennedy. Reagan was successful enough, Teddy Kennedy tried to get help from the Russians in the 84 election. Reagan was so popular, the Democrats went all out to find things that could damage his reputation. This is how we get to Ollie North and Iran-Contra affair. Against Trump, the Democrats went even further during his first term with a phony impeachment. The lawfare the last 4 years was pretty bad. I did get a chuckle out of him negotiating a much larger payout he had to make in the civil case just because he couldn’t keep his lips zipped in a nice way, but 99% of everything with this lawfare has fallen apart. We even know who paid for what.

Reagan was successful tapping in to bluedog democrats. He was also a great communicator. Trump has tapped into groups normally associated with Democrats who became disenfranchised and voted for Trump in 2021. The Dems don’t have any idea what to do about it now. Much synergy between Reagan and Trump philosophies. Reagan thought the Amnesty Bill of 86 would end illegal immigration. It did the opposite and encouraged more. Trump has the hindsight that Reagan did not.

As a HS and college adult during the Reagan years, I appreciated his strength, his communication and graciousness. The Republicans as a party ventured off the path soon after Reagan’s 2nd term was up. It’s how you get the likes of Bill Kristol living a grifter’s tale with assistance from the USAID.

I find it hilarious how quickly countries are falling in line with Trump, especially this time around. Canada as the 51st state is stand up material. He has pros around him. With Trump’s strength behind him, Richard Grenell quickly negotiated a hostage situation with Venezuela that the State Department stooges would never figure out whether Republican or Democrat wimps occupied the WH.

You forgot whom the leader/dictator of Venezuela is--Maduro. He agreed to take back tens of thousands of Venezuelan non criminal immigrants that escaped to U.S. to avoid Maduro. Now we are sending them back for him to do as he pleases. Victory! You MAGAs believe every Baghdad Bob lie you are told.

Back in the 80’s and 90’s corporations would smash each other. Richies would buy struggling companies, sell off the parts for profit and declare bankruptcy. I don’t like it, but it is what it is. I highly doubt stonedhead grasps the leap of faith it takes to be an entrpreneur.

That is why the stock market took a big fall, and all of the hedge funds were shorting.

Trump failed at every venture he had. No need to list them. Then he found the ultimate grift--politics. The not so bright will send you hundreds of millions of dollars and you can spend it on anything you choose.

The not so bright actually sent $1.5 billion to Kamala. They believed the FakeNews and Fake Polls.

Most successful people failed big time at some point. The Colonel, Hershey, etc. It is the ability to rebound which is unique and a decidedly American characteristic. Hell, Obama and Oprah loved them some Trump back in the day.

The Dow was off .28% today. Just another day, really. My guy told me we would take advantage of opportunities today on Saturday. I am guessing I made money on the initial panic sold by the Dems. I am sure you didn't. Sorry, Stonedax

I think it’s “the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil”.
Depends on the translation. The King James Version was beat into my skull in my youth, and specifically states it as I quoted it. I have no doubt there are English translations that word it as you have done here.

I'm sorry is bankruptcy not allowed in the Tax Code ?

You must be confused by the Biden Criminal Family and their real estate properties worth multiple millions on a salary of under $ 170,000 for most of his entire political career !

If he failed at every venture, he wouldn’t have the global brand he has today. As for his grift, he’s bad at it, if in fact he’s a grifter. He doesn’t take a salary as POTUS and he’s about the only “politician” who went to Washington and lost money from 2017-2020.

I was sifting around my records looking for my SS card. I came across stock certificates for thousands of shares, all companies that went bust.

Which according to the tax codes I could write off !

Elected again !

You’re right. I just looked up the KJV. Most other English translations, including the NKJV, include “kinds of” (FWIW).

edit: So I dug into why there's more than one translation and it's because the Greek word for "all" isn't specfic. It can mean "every" or "many".

I didn’t forget anything. If people want to emigrate to the US, they can file the proper paperwork and get in line like the rest of us. You’ve squawked like a little girl spewing a lot of nonsense from your keyboard 2 weeks into an administration. You have no idea how all of this plays out in the next few years. I am hopeful we stop being overly concerned with Europe and pay attention to our own back yard and the Monroe Doctrine.
