Pedantry, the curse of the classicist

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

Rep. Rob Wittman (R-VA) faked a phone call for roughly 90 seconds after being asked about Speaker Mike Johnson’s comments regarding potential Social Security cuts.

The phone's screen remained visible, with his cheek inadvertently tapping different parts of the display.

I think that all the alpha right-wingers on this platform, who looked at Trump’s meltdown with NBC’s “Meet the Press”, and claim that Kristen Welker has “TDS” would also take a good hard pegging in the anus from Trump.

Imagine, these are people who actually believe that when you do not let Trump call you corrupt and stupid, you have “TDS.” What kind of weak cuck do you have to be to think in these terms? All these right-wingers have a homo-erotic crush on Trump. 🤣

Change my mind.

Happy Pride month to all Trump cucks.

He’s dating Kim Kardashian, who has an estimated net worth of nearly $2 billion. He's worth nearly $500 million and lives in Monaco to avoid paying taxes in the UK.

Remarkable lack of self-awareness.

"Pull up my piece... I can't wait... Patrick, will you give me permission to read from your screen... this is a great moment for me, taking over your show... your viewers are getting some good facts today..."

Great moment on the @PBDsPodcast when I got to take over the show, read out facts and figures my own article, and prove that Donald Trump won by a very narrow margin in 2024 and not by a landslide, as he so often and falsely claims.

“I’m Jake Tapper, tonight correspondent Laura Loomer dives into Hunter Biden’s deranged trolling, Kellyanne Conway reveals Joe Biden fell asleep watching TV again, and Ian Miles Cheong confirms Biden is the reason he’s never left Malaysia. Those stories and Catturd, tonight.”

Cathie Wood might be the most expensive lesson retail investors have ever paid for.

Her flagship ARK Innovation ETF is down 23% in the last 5 years.

The S&P 500 is up 77% over the same period.

She has underperformed the index by 100 percentage points.

And she has done it while collecting BILLIONS in management fees.

A quick reminder of the highlight reel:

– She predicted Tesla would hit $3,000 per share by 2025. It is currently $432.

– She predicted Tesla revenue would hit $234 to $367 billion in 2025. The actual number came in under $100 billion.

– She made Teladoc her single largest position around $80 per share. It trades at $7 today.

– She loaded up on Zoom near $300. It trades at $110.

– She dumped almost her entire Nvidia position in January 2023 around $20 per share. Nvidia is now at $220, which means she sold the single greatest stock of this generation right before it 10x’d.

Morningstar officially labeled the ARK family of funds a “value destroyer,” noting that her funds lost roughly $14 billion in shareholder value from 2014 to 2024.

But here’s the part nobody talks about:

ARK Investment Management has been one of the most profitable asset managers of the last decade.

Wood has personally made tens of millions in fees while her investors have collectively lost real money.

This is the part of Wall Street most retail investors do not understand.

You’re not paying for performance, you’re paying for marketing.

The people who win are the ones running the fund, not the ones holding it.

This Friday, May 15, every fund managing over $100 million is legally required to disclose their Q1 2026 trades to the SEC.

We will be breaking down EVERY major filing right here the moment they drop.

@davidpakmanshow Really milking this

[Bobby Allyn @BobbyAllyn]

George Santos called me after my story revealing federal investigations into his suspected market manipulation on Kalshi.

And he said: "This story is going to get you a gun in your face."

Then he lied about it.

the fact he may carve out time to attend two basketball games merely weeks after saying he didn’t have time to attend his own son’s wedding is objectively hilarious 😂

This is so insanely corrupt, I can’t even believe it.

More than half the donors to Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom just won over $50 billion in new federal contracts in six months.

And here’s the part that should make your blood boil.

Sixteen of these 27 donors were facing federal enforcement actions, antitrust reviews, labor cases, securities charges. Many of those cases have been quietly dropped or scaled back since Trump took office. You write a check, your legal problems disappear. That’s not a coincidence.

The White House won’t even release the full donor list. They’re hiding it on purpose, because daylight is the one thing pay-to-play can’t survive. A federal judge already ruled ballroom construction has to stop until Congress authorizes it.

Government is supposed to serve the people, not auction itself off to the highest bidder. When access goes to whoever pays the most, working families always end up paying the price.

We either end the corruption, or the corruption will end us.

You guys are such cliches. He has no idea what he's wearing. He's buttoned both buttons on a two button jacket, which is basically never acceptable. He's wearing a tie pin with a waistcoat. The collar is wrong and it's unbuttoned. Combining 1920s hair with a Victorian moustache is gauche. He looks like a waiter at a try-hard artisanal cocktail place in 2014.

[one dozen rats at a keyboard @PanasonicDX4500]

I know it’s become pretty cliche and cringey to talk about at this point but if you’re under like 25 I cannot stress enough how one time Obama wore a tan suit and people spent a week arguing over whether or not it was demeaning to the Oval Office and they were serious about it.
