Just following orders - got it!

And ICE doesn't have the right to break the 4th amendment but here we are. In fact you're kind of making my point - when one of the bill of rights goes out the window, then all of them start falling like dominoes.

The issue is constitutional rights. Trump's policies and ICE's execution is unconstitutional, whether the Supreme Court has the balls to call Trumpy on it eventually becomes irrelevant. People don't like their constitutional rights being violated- so they will fight back against it. The bill of rights is just as much about protecting individual rights as it is a means to ensure a safe and functioning society. Societies where these rights are routinely violated eventually devolve into what the video you posted illustrates.

Oh I'm sure this guy had some deeply unique, personal reasons to vote for Trump:

Well, the problem with 2 year treasuries is your reinvestment risk in 2 years. I think this is partly why the 2 vs 10 year spread is tighter than we may prefer, particularly considering Trump’s signaling on where he wants rates to be (lower).

That's a very fair point. Thanks, @Viking

Ego and stupidity combined. Something the average republican voter has in spades.

People find it easier to join the cult of personality rather than doing some critical thinking themselves.

Said every aging generation ever... This is not a comment directed at you, but I always see the older generations trivializing the younger generation's complaints. I think it's a reflection that older generations("we") have failed our future generations. We were once the younger generation...were we just as "lazy"? I don't think so...

Depends how far you think Trump will go to devalue the dollar.

Given all the different private equity/private credit these asset mgrs provide, all different types of companies they invest in and all the financial engineering, how do you assess risk here?

A classic measure of a country's success is its citizen's life expectancy. America stands at #48 according to the UN: https://www.worldometers.info/demographics/life-expectancy/

Let's ignore the ambiguity of "cultures" - another discussion. Economics and healthcare - absolutely, I agree, at the very least willing to hear the argument. But how has the current administration addressed these two issues? I'll go out on a limb and say, "not well".

Well, try it in the rest of the country. It's like saying Toronto has strict gun laws but the rest of Canada doesn't. Or let's (as a country) brainstorm some other solution. But gun laws haven't changed significantly in my lifetime, and the problem just grows. Maybe you're right and gun control doesn't address the root cause - fine, but then let's go address that. Is it better k-12 education? I'd gladly pay for that - even not having any children myself. Is education driven by things like household financial stability? Well let's direct more funds towards the middle classes rather than more tax breaks for the Waltons. Tell me the cause of the problem and let's try out some potential solutions, rather than more T's & P's.

Yeah, sadly for America I agree

I just posted the alternative: mimic Canadian gun laws. Give it five years. See what happens. No good? Try something else. Revert back to today's legal framework. At least make an effort!

US and Canada have very different cultures? I don't even know what to say. The US won't even attempt alternatives. OK fine, we'll get what we deserve. Well, the flip side is that at least it creates demand! Capitalism in action, baby: https://www.221btactical.com/products/guardian-angel-bulletproof-vest-for-kids I don't think Israel is the country the US wants to be emulating right now!

LOL. Refer to my post here:

Simple: Mimic Canadian gun laws and re-assess

Lifting the collective MAGA gaze from the bottom of Trump's boots and peering North: In 2023, there were 17,927 firearm homicides in the United States In 2023, there were 289 homicides by shooting in Canada US population: 334.9 million (2023) Canada population: 40.08 million (2023)

The supreme court Roe Roe Roe'd that boat, not-so-gently down the stream! What's stopping you? Join up with these goons and preserve your cultures together!

Ignorance in action: truly a work of MAGArt!

Trump goons "at war in portland" https://v.redd.it/lial9tuaaxsf1 These goofballs are fighting "a war" with people dressed up in frog outfits. Ribbit, ribbit! Talking about losers - imagine how much of loser you have to be to sign up and do something like this? I'll take "peaked in high school and occasionally needs to slap around the wife to maintain her respect for $100, Alex" Also: Costanza was the best Seinfeld character, you guys are nuts if you think otherwise!
