@PfPopulist There is no such thing as "TDS". Anyone with either a brain, morals, or both would feel "deranged" that a megalomaniac who hates our country was chosen to lead it twice and that even when his lying, cheating, and stealing is proven, his cult of cretins endures.
@DeepValueBagger Me too. One of my best trades last year. Bought it around 40 in September. Sold it around 60 two weeks later. 50% gain in two weeks and sold the day before the top
I have so many thoughts about this Platner sexting story I don't even know where to start.
Here they are and you can all yell at me about them:
* I doubt this changes anybody's vote in the primary or general election. There's already so much shit out there about him, and a lot of Mainers are sticking with the guy โ which is probably a testament to how pissed off people are about the economy and the political establishment in both parties.
* That said, the vetting on Platner was horrific. I get that a lot of people are excited about his economic messaging (I like a lot of it too) and the access they have to him, but his backers really should have done a better job of finding a better candidate (most of them are writing that economic messaging that everybody loves and most of them are people I respect and admire.)
* Leaking a private conversation you had with a candidate's wife is shitty, and I would never work with someone who would do that. Hope the money was good for whoever did it, and I hope you get a cushy job shitting on Dems on Fox News. That's a fundamental violation of trust, even if you hate the guy.
* Platner doesn't seem like an especially good dude, but Susan Collins sucks. She's a rubber stamp for Trump who will approve his SCOTUS picks and certainly isn't going to stand up to him on launching stupid forever wars. If you think about this purely as a harm-reduction voter, I'd rather Platner be in the Senate than Collins. I know she's going to sell out the people of Maine while pretending to be a moderate โ I don't know what kind of senator he'll be despire all this oppo.
* Ken Paxton is also a creep and an adulterer and a lot of the Republicans reveling in this are disgusting for ignoring how shitty of a human being Paxton is. Not to mention Trump himself. Paxton literally protected child sex predators he was friends withโthat's worse than any of the oppo out there on Platner... yet.
Have at it.
Love you people.
Pretty much any educated or successful guy is a Dem. Most Republican guys are just loosers, who will never amount to anything in their lifes. Those, who have nothing to be proud of, are instead gonna be proud of their country
