@PeteButtigieg I am so very sorry this happened to you and your beautiful family. Thank you for the dignity and strength it took to share this. Few show the grace you do on a daily basis.
Let me walk you through what happened one hour before Trump announced the five day moratorium on Iran strikes.
$1.5 billion in notional S&P E-mini futures contracts. Four to six times normal activity.
One hour before the announcement.
Simultaneously, $192 million in crude oil futures purchased at the same time.
They made between $300 and $400 million dollars off those trades.
Trump claimed he spoke to an Iranian official to negotiate the moratorium.
The Iranians said that person doesn't exist and the conversation never happened.
This is not the first time.
It has happened multiple times. He says something. The trade goes on. He says another thing. The market moves.
But whatever you call it — they are laughing at you and they are laughing at me while they do it.
Hunter Biden sold a painting and Washington lost its mind.
These people are making hundreds upon hundreds of millions of dollars trading on information that only exists inside the most powerful office in the world.
I think we are dramatically underreporting how much money is actually being made here.
This isn't politics anymore.
This is a financial operation running out of the White House.
@ChrisCuomo Thing in you knew it was a deep fake but went for the sound bite because you're that good and unfortunately you are also now just that bad. A real man - journalist- would apologize you are at this point neither. Just makes me sad.
@Neuralblown@ValentinaForUSA@GavinNewsom Right you're following a 34 times convicted felon sexual predator who is trying to rule by executive order defy the Supreme Court alienating our allies like Canada leaving Ukrainians to die, filled his cabinet with completely incompetent sycophants-but I'm the lunatic Ok.
@FuzzyManStudios @GeneralMCNews You do know that most of that money was paid to American companies- not directly to Ukraine. Of course you don't. Facts don't matter.
@DaniNYC212@GeorgeTakei Why would you choose to use the death of an icon and someone respectful sentiment honoring that to be rude. You are what's wrong with the world.
This exchange between Stephen Miller and CNN's Brianna Keilar is fucking insane.
Miller's yelling and screaming at her, as a representative of the White House, is unprofessional and uncalled for.
Props to Keilar for keeping her cool, because I could not.
