Let me demonstrate exactly why we'll never fix this - it's because none of you are willing to pay your debts
Are we just not gonna talk about how you can't have "New America" INSIDE "Old America"?
Or how it was "New Mexico" before there even was an America?
MAGA has split into 2 camps on Vivek: Either saying what he did was beyond wrong but they're still gonna vote for him, or trying to gaslight and stan for Vivek
If you think this was just a misstep by Vivek & he's a good man, you should Google how he made his money. #Bagholders
In case you didn't know, Elmo has sank almost 200 million dollars into Texas trying to get Abbott and Paxton elected - and 3 months after he did so, Abbott signed off on over 1.6 billion in tax breaks for Elmo's chip plant in TX.
I'm sure it's a coincidence.
IT'S JAMES TALARICO OFF THE TOP ROPE!
I disagree with him on most things, but 1) anybody is better than Ken Paxton, the 2nd most corrupt politician in America and 2), I can acknowledge one of the best late-season ads I've ever seen.
Socialism is good when *checks notes* farmers get it.
Trump trying to buy those last minute votes with more welfare. Sad thing is, given the history of farmers, the idiots will probably fall for it.
It's less than 2 weeks from midterms, and Trump/theGOP still can't get their messaging remotely correct.
Now they're telling ppl who already struggling because of Trumponomics they're going to start having their wages garnished for student loans. Have fun in the midterms, MAGA!
BREAKING: The Trump administration is reportedly preparing to pursue wages and benefits of borrowers with defaulted federal student loans, per Forbes.
The Education Department is working with the Treasury Department to hire private debt collection agencies.
Borrowers in default may face administrative wage garnishment of up to 15 percent of their earnings without a court order.
Elmo, Step 1: Get together with Trump (who at this point is clearly a Russian plant) to agree to restrict Starshield and hamper Ukraine's ability to defend itself, all because they started blowing up the data centers MAGA was relying on to push Elmo/MAGA's agenda.
Step 2: Upon realizing it's only a matter of time until you're found out, offer 1 share (1.42% of his total shares) of $SPCX to children as though it's some sort of grand gesture and not a distraction and tax avoidance strategy
Step 3: When the story finally breaks that it was Elmo who ordered the Starshield restriction, it's buried under the headlines about Elmo's grand "gift"
Another successful psyop.
ICYMI, Trump offers a 1% "bounty" for whistleblowers to report fraud they find in gov.
One problem: Existing programs offered 10-20% to whistleblowers, so he's offering but a fraction of that. And he's pardoned 76 people convicted of fraud.
Have you even said thank you yet?
The Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program, giving YOU the power to seek out, report, and eliminate fraud in our communities. 🇺🇸
President Trump has waged an unprecedented war on fraud. Our country will not be plundered by fraudsters.
Join the fight: FRAUD.GOV
Here we have the Vice President calling one of his employers an "imbecile", because that's apparently the decorum of the office now. Not the flex you think it is, Maybelline.
Everybody remember that Welker interview earlier this year where Con Inc propagated a still frame of her, trying to make her look unhinged and claiming it's proof that journalists are leftists who hate America and have nothing but rage?
Anyhow, here's Sexual Assailant Trump as he, from the Oval Office, calls a reporter a "mongoloid"
Weird, I don't see anybody from that group propagating this photo.
Holy Schmitt - LITERALLY bread & circuses. "Tune in tonight as 5 struggling entrepreneurs do battle to determine which one of them will actually be able to feed their families next month!"
Now we've got people doing battle to see which one can survive under Trumponomics
TONIGHT at 6PM.
Five small-business owners. One million dollars.
Watch them battle to turn their dreams into reality.
The Million Dollar Pitch Competition. Don’t miss it ➡️ youtube.com/live/M_lGBxyrnio…
It's time to discuss why it is MAGA continually just "coincidentally" keeps falling on the side of pedophiles.
I'm literally in the middle of nowhere backcountry right now with nothing but a portable starlink receiver, a phone, a few guns (so come find me, haters :P), and some camping equipment, and even I was able to find that Amy's mother stood by the stepfather as he continually diddled her when she was 12, got her kids taken away from her, didn't try to get them back, and stood by her husband as he fled the state to evade charges until his death in 2004.
Jim Pfaff and the Con Inc grifters: "They've just got it out for her mother".
Not registered to vote in Ohio, had planned to sit this election out entirely, but this one has convinced me to cast a ballot: Enough is enough, MAGA must go. Thanks, Jim.
All weekend, FinTwit "experts" were proclaiming Black Monday 2.0 was coming because of the "futures" markets on Hyperliquid.
I can't believe I've got to have this talk, but Hyperliquid isn't an equities market. It's where people go to do 50x leverage on stupid crypto bets and make tokenized "trades" on tickers. It's where gambling addicts go to get dopamine hits and be preyed on their emotions. Hyperliquid has absolutely no connection or anchor to the actual stock markets
Actual markets were closed when this graphic was making the rounds. These "futures" are entirely synthetic, there's not a single institution involved. It's just derivative speculation, and not particularly good speculation, as it can't mimic how institutions hedge equity exposure. If you don't understand what I'm saying, in layman's terms it's that very small amounts of money can move megacap tickers up to 5% without a lot of trouble. No trading desk, hedge fund, pension, or the fucking Norwegian sovereign wealth fund is going to be prepping to panic sell based on what they see here. But man, did FinTwit glom on to it. 10:1 says the market isn't even red on Monday morning.
In today's episode of "Trump secretly wants to lose the midterms", we have this example.
I'm not even anti-Israel and even I know this is exactly the thing that will turn away even more Magadoltians.
The hilarious thing is...Boomers legitimately believe this fantasy. The locust generation that was handed everything and then sold out future generations for their own comfort legitimately think they got what they have from the sweat of their brow.
Delulu.
I’m feeling like I need to make a boomer defense website at this point.
No, we aren’t the selfish generation. We are the most hardworking generation. We don’t want to sell our homes because we worked damn hard for them, and now we have grandchildren visiting with our children and we like there is room for them. AND it’s OUR HOME. Those that are wealthy (not as many as you all imagine) ARE helping their children with paying for college (no student loans) and helping with them buying a first house. Those not wealthy now depend on the SS and Medicare they paid into their entire lives. They are also babysitting grandchildren and loving your children as no one else on earth will. We are not selfish. We are living on the years of hard work. Maybe you’ll understand when you get there, but now this bullsh*t narrative on your parent’s generation has got to stop.
Good for him. I've known Anthony for a lot of years and the accusations didn't match up with what I knew of him at all.
This isn't even so much about his career being ruined and the positions he lost - he was one of the leading medical biologists in the world working on exciting advances in neurodegenerative cures. All of society was robbed of any breakthroughs or cures he might have invented, all because the person he was sleeping with got jaded after he dumped her and made some things up to save face.
(Also, demonstrating how brilliant men often have no common sense, as the dude should have known better than to shit where he eats)
Guy has over 250,000 followers, wants to sell you a sub...And doesn't even know that there was no weekend futures market in 1987, so they couldn't have been been. That wasn't until '92. But keep paying this clown.
Somebody go ask him what caused BM, see if the words "mutual funds" come out at all
I bookmarked this one the day it came out cause I knew it would age like Charlie Kirk.
Anyone who took this fool's advice is now ruined.
