From ‘billionaires’ to anything above $50 million in 6 days time.
Next stop, anyone that has over $1 million net worth. Which is almost anyone with some home equity and a 401k.
Slippery slope is not a fallacy. Socialists will not stop until they control everything you work for.
They arrested the President of the United States of America 4X, charged him 91X, indicted him 4X, spied on his campaign, sabotaged his first term, jailed his supporters, raided his private residence, censored him, gagged him, tried to bankrupt him, and attempted to remove him from state ballots.
When all of that failed they tried to assassinate him not once but four times.
And they go on national television to talk about how we need to vote for them to save democracy.
My entire life politicians on both sides of the aisle have sworn up and down, on television and before Congress, that Iran was pursuing a nuclear weapon.
Everyone agreed.
The only disagreement lay in how best to handle it; by carrot or stick?
Well we’ve been giving them carrots since Cheers was on, and by all accounts it’s only made them more brazen.
So finally, after decades of failure, Trump comes along and tries a new approach, one that seems to have worked, and half the right is shitting on him?
Beyond bullshit, especially considering that we all voted for him BECAUSE HE PLEDGED TO DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY!
And yes I understand the “no new wars” thing, but maybe, just maybe, he learned something he didn’t know in the 4 years he was out of office.
And maybe, just maybe, he isn’t Dick Cheney and has no plans to occupy the country for a decade or more.
I guess time will tell, because this isn’t over, but this moaning from his one-time supporters seems manufactured.
Because any adult knows that no politician will deliver on everything you want, but if the biggest promise they break is ridding the world of its largest terrorist state then count your fucking blessings.
Congrats, you won the candidate lottery!
@hypergrowth102 At what point, in your opinion, do we worry about stock based comp with $hims? New hires and acquisitions send it through the roof I imagine. We all know the pros and cons of SBC but curious if it’s a concern at all in your thesis.
Some may be wondering (correctly) why I'm all over the place.
I have no loyalty to a party, only a country.
I have blood oaths to family and the Infantry only.
I am a product of my experience. And what I've seen in Texas, I don't like.
I am technically a resident of there. Stationed there 3 separate times since 2007. During my last stint, it became unrecognizable. I just left a few months ago.
Walking through Austin or Dallas was surreal. It did not resemble anything close to what I imagine America being. It wasn't even "diverse" at all. Just me, whoever I was with, and infinity Indians or Muslims.
Once upon a time I'd say "live and let live". But I can't anymore. I want to be in a country surrounded by people with a social contract. Folks that will help others in need for NO personal gain beyond doing what's right.
The people pouring in to Texas don't do this for anyone who don't look like them. It's not conjecture, it's fact. When the Texas floods happened, Doc Chambers was out there assembling teams to pull people out of the water. No foreigners were volunteering to help.
You see, that means something to me. It gets after the reason why we exist as a country. And I can't stand idly by and watch leaders just keep allowing that in perpetuity. All because they have more money in their campaign war chests, now they're untouchable?
This was never the America the founders meant it to be. We should not be backing our demise and those who facilitate it, just because it's financially convenient.
I'm going to drop this subject for now. I'm just tired of paying taxes so others can just give it away to our replacements. Replacements who, by their own actions, prove they don't give a damn about us.
@joecarlsonshow Great post. This has been in my Google investment thesis all along. Idk how ppl have been overlooking the possibility that when the dust settles Google will have the dominate LLM. It’s more likely the case than not. First to market is hardly ever the winner.
The same people that printed 7 trillion in stimulus, shut down businesses, froze student loans, directly deposited cash into people’s checking accounts, causing the worst inflation we’ve had in 30 years, are now concerned that 10% tariffs might cause inflation.
Our Country is a disaster, a laughing stock all over the World! This is what happens when you have OPEN BORDERS, with weak, ineffective, and virtually nonexistent leadership. The DOJ, FBI, and Democrat state and local prosecutors have not done their job. They are incompetent and corrupt, having spent all of their waking hours unlawfully attacking their political opponent, ME, rather than focusing on protecting Americans from the outside and inside violent SCUM that has infiltrated all aspects of our government, and our Nation itself. Democrats should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this to happen to our Country. The CIA must get involved, NOW, before it is too late. The USA is breaking down - A violent erosion of Safety, National Security, and Democracy is taking place all across our Nation. Only strength and powerful leadership will stop it. See you on January 20th. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
It’s crazy to look back and realize:
1. Trump was banned from Twitter for two years.
2. Trump was banned from YouTube for two years.
3. Trump was banned from Instagram and Facebook for two years.
4. The government pressured Facebook to censor dissenting voices as “misinformation”.
5. The government pressured Twitter to shadowban conservative accounts.
6. The government pressured Twitter to censor the Hunter Biden laptop story.
7. Trump has been hit with hundreds of lawsuits incurring $100-200 million in expenses over the last 8 years
8. Legacy media near-uniformly posted negative headlines about Trump
9. Google search results reflected and may have even amplified media bias
The fact that he was able to win again despite all of this is a stunning triumph of the human spirit.
What’s worse?
A warm up comic making a single bad joke 7 hours before Trump went on stage at MSG, or a former president peddling the endlessly debunked Very Fine People hoax two days before the election?
These people have no sense of humor. Wild that a vice presidential candidate would take time out of his “busy schedule” to analyze a joke taken out of context to make it seem racist. I love Puerto Rico and vacation there. I made fun of everyone…watch the whole set. I’m a comedian Tim…might be time to change your tampon.
