Imagining explaining to the Founding Fathers that the president imposed tariffs without an act of Congress and then removed them at the request of the King of England
The left has some good ideas, but they can't win elections outside small deep-blue districts. Okay, they can defeat a political dynasty in a mayoral primary, but they'll never get a mandate in a city-wide election. Sure, they got a mandate, but that's in New York City. It's not like they'll win in the New Jersey suburbs. Looks like the left won in the New Jersey suburbs, but they can't win state-wide races in purple states. Okay, they defeated the sitting Maine governor, but it's not like they can win...
Let me explain what just happened 👇
5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil.
5 minutes…
These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch.
There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made.
Someone in that room picked up a phone.
And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars.
American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it.
This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions.
This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight.
You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question.
Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that.
The game is rigged. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore…
We're at a point where there are no cheap options to retreat to and no price points that guarantee quality. Every run-down studio is $1400, every fast food meal is $17, every luxury condo has peel-n-stick tiles, every $300 pair of boots falls apart. Endless expensive mediocrity.
Listen MAGA, you can react to new information.
Many of you thought you were voting for the removal of violent illegal immigrant criminals. You (hopefully) didn’t vote for federal mass surveillance, a militarized police state, abandoning the 1st, 2nd, & 4th amendment, detaining children, or the execution of US citizens.
Be a free thinker. Challenge your leaders. You pledge allegiance to the flag, not a regime.
This is a constitutional crisis and a watershed moment for US politics.
I count at least 8 guys here on top of this man. Even if this guy is armed -- a fundamental 2nd Amendment right that can not be abridged, I've been told -- they can't arrest him without shooting him?
The guy who killed Renee Good was a ten year ICE veteran who had been thoroughly “trained” by the US military, border patrol and ICE and Good’s murder was captured on three different cameras so what does any of this have to do with anything
as a white american i simply could not imagine giving a single shit about this. america isn’t an ethnostate and we’re not native to this land regardless. if you can’t grow up and learn to be in community with people who look a little different from you that’s frankly embarrassing
A general strike stopped the fascist coup in S. Korea.
A general strike is how the Italian people forced their rightwing PM to send a Navy ship protect the flotilla.
It's the only thing that'll be effective v Trump.
They cancelled the coolest fucking video game ever because our current “political climate” would cause backlash for a game about killing.. racist terrorists
That’s where we’re at btw
It’s wild how people can effortlessly understand the righteousness of everybody from Robin Hood to Andor and then in real life simp for the Sheriff of Nottingham and the Death Star
The grand contradiction of America is that they need us to keep consuming but they also do not want to pay us. They will shame you for not spending enough while simultaneously not paying you enough to spend.
