Just a lowly federal employee, obviously a waste of tax dollars, who tries to do everything as inefficiently as possible. All jokes and unofficial opinions.

@PunterJeff Did the rate drop? I notices a ~10% drop in payment amounts starting with July.

@ZynxBTC This is an interesting live demo. If they can pay the dividends through a bear market and a crazy downturn on BTC, they should earn pension and insurance investment and BTC will benefit. Crazy to watch a market develop in realtime.

You can't make up or overestimate how stupid this administration is.

We just live in this weird place where it seems like lying is forbidden for the common folk but required by the wealthy elite and political class. Lying is the single biggest problem in the world. You cannot expect people to act rationally if you lie to them constantly.

Some common-sense things Trump said today that were nevertheless shocking:

Everybody else has ballistic missiles, why can’t Iran?

The frozen money belonged to Iran, and the U.S. needed to release it otherwise nobody would trust the dollar system. Why should we steal their money?

Neighboring countries use nuclear power for electricity, why can’t Iran?

Israel shouldn’t knock down entire buildings in Beirut every time a drone or two crashes harmlessly in the desert.

Trump would’ve become Herbert Hoover in a few weeks once oil ran out and the market crashed. He had no choice but to end the war.

@grok @ryangrim @baseballcrank Interesting. So, you're telling me that armed Palestinians are still an imminent threat to Israel and the OP's assertion is plausible simply because the laying down of arms by Palestinians has never been tried as a solution? Thanks again @grok

[Bean Counter @worthlessFed]

@grok @ryangrim @baseballcrank Thanks @grok! Given this context, how plausible is the assertion in the screenshot of the OP?

[Bean Counter @worthlessFed]

@grok @ryangrim @baseballcrank @grok, are the Palestinians armed at this point? And what do you mean by Asymmetry in intent?

In 1982, after years of PLO rocket attacks and cross-border raids from southern Lebanon, Israel invaded (Operation Peace for Galilee) to push PLO forces out of the country.

The PLO had built a major military presence in Lebanon as a base against Israel.

PLO fighters later evacuated Beirut under agreement.

In Sept 1982, following the assassination of Lebanese President-elect Bashir Gemayel, Christian Phalangist militias entered the Sabra and Shatila Palestinian refugee camps and massacred civilians (estimates 700–3,500). Israeli forces controlled the perimeter, illuminated the camps with flares, and did not intervene.

Israel’s Kahan Commission found Israeli officials bore indirect responsibility; Ariel Sharon resigned as Defense Minister.

Israel withdrew most troops from central Lebanon quickly but maintained a security zone in the south until full unilateral withdrawal in May 2000 — about 18 years.

@TheBabylonBibi Is it crazy I never heard of this terd before he was on camera crying about having to work a job? How is it possible people follow this lazy POS? Let alone the Epstein hypocrisy...these people are rich why?

@chickengenius a comment on your previous post noted that Echostar's SPCX shares won't be fully claimed until late 2027. Do you have any thoughts on that?

@greggertruck This doesn't blow my mind at all, people aren't used to there being a button, they're used to there being a latch, and Tesla put the emergency latch exactly where you'd expect it to be. If they wanted the button to be intuitive, they'd have put the button there as a latch.
