Rationality is the first casualty of investing.

.@elonmusk so if what you say is true why don’t you give us 93 billion a year to end hunger or 294 billion to end extreme poverty? Few of you and really is pocket change! You will be remember for that with more love than any thing else you do….🫶🏻🕊️🥘

Fake news!

This video has nothing to do with Riyadh. Riyadh is landlocked in the middle of the desert and has neither a port nor a container terminal. The weather last night was dry — no rain anywhere — so the wet pavement and port infrastructure in the footage don’t match.

Here, I will show you what was going on in Riyadh yesterday:

Are we really gonna have a live TV firing squad in America? Can we all just say No!!! This isn’t what America stands for. It’s not what the military stands for. At what point do we all say enough!!!! I’m saying it !

This is what it means to grow up brainwashed — indoctrinated and terrified. I have sat with many defectors, taken their testimony. North Koreans have a ghastly fate. The healing project will be arduous and long. May it begin soon.

In a few years the national debt will be $50 trillion. If by then we pay 8% interest, the annual bill will be $4 trillion, and annual budget deficits will likely be $6 trillion. How will we pay for that? Triple the income tax? Eliminate all entitlements and most federal programs?

Trump calls Democrats communists,
attacks Canada & NATO,
then rolls out the red carpet for China's communist dictator.

Go back to sleep, MAGA bro's. Your ruler is brilliant and you're not gullible suckers at all.

And hey; invest in some crypto while you’re drowsy.

Hard to know what to call this other than an American president musing about whether to commit genocide.

There are moments where I wonder if I’ll run out of jokes.

And then I see posts like this.

[Luke Gromen @LukeGromen]

@UziCryptoo Minimum wage in 1963 in the US was $1.25

That was 5 silver quarters.

Today the melt value of those 5 silver quarters is $57.90.

Instead, US Federal minimum wage is $7.25

That's the whole ruse...that's the whole game.

corrupt administration still trying to help Russia win at the expense of the free world

@RosenvoldGeo Oil talks and bullshit walks!

@JohnJHarwood I think RFK JR has been spelunking in Trump's rectum.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

George W. Bush: “Our nation occasionally goes through isolationist periods where the attitude is, ‘We’ve got too many problems at home, therefore who cares what happens overseas.’
Which really means to me they don’t pay attention to the lesson of 9/11.

What happens overseas matters to our national security at home.”

Bessent’s I-am-the-house resting smug face and the Mad King’s $5k vote-buying ravings will be my lasting memories of this moment.
