That's probably likely. Brits are better at that than the U.S. You have a whole frickin' dossier on Trump/Russia, a million mentions in the Trump-Epstein files, scams with tax returns, and fraud at multiple levels...they've never been able to nail Trump! Maybe that orange goop is some sort of new version of Teflon! Cheers!

Oh, you mean like how due process has been suspended for illegals and citizens alike...attacking media outlets through the FTCC...criminal investigations of attorney generals, prosecutors or anyone that Trump thought they deserved retribution...the list goes on and on. But hey you "sure don't want to live in a place where people are presumed guilty." Your President was attacking his own hand-picked members of the Supreme Court last week because he didn't like the tariff vote...fuck me! Cheers!

I'm not putting the blame solely on Trump...I want both Trump and Clinton to go down...they are two pieces of the same pile of shit! For me this isn't partisan...it's about nailing two douchebags that have pulled the wool over the eyes of people for too long! Cheers!

There was no discussion of releasing the files during Biden...it was a criminal investigation and the thought was that they would prosecute others internally. They didn't...they failed the victims as well! What I love is all this "tit for tat" shit...no let's just do the fucking right thing instead of it being a partisan issue! Cheers!

Actually, who was the mob in Minneapolis...ICE? Cheers!

We're not talking about going after those that met him...we're talking about going after the actual perpetrators. You are going to tell me that in 6M documents, you don't have anything to nail any one with anything? You know numbers Greg...that isn't possible! Cheers!

I've been pushing for the release of the files since Trump said he was going to release them...also since the victims agreed they wanted them released before Trump took office in his 2nd term. The question is why are you resisting it now? Cheers!

Like January 6th? Cheers!

The funny thing is that the victim's want the names to come out...every administration, including Trump, has failed them! And if you didn't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry...but if you were friends with this guy, funded by him, begged him for help...well, you maybe should have chosen more wisely. Especially since 2009 when this was all out in the open and he had been charged! Cheers!

MAGA wanted to drain the swamp. The biggest cesspool in the world is the Trump-Epstein files. The FBI has the ability to go after every douche bag in there and they haven't gone after even one...only the main culprit who hung himself in custody...and a bitch that is dangling a pardon for information. Am I really only complaining about something that suits my ideology? Because if it doesn't fit yours...you should be worried! Regarding hockey...it was a great game! Canada totally dominated, but if it's a one game take all, you find yourself against a hot goalie...well, that's sport. Congratulations to the U.S. hockey team! Lastly, Canada isn't perfect...but she's a 9.5 compared to the U.S.' 8.5! Cheers!

LOL! That's about right. I had to delete John's post yesterday where he told someone to "fuck off" on the TSLA thread...rare for him! Cheers!

I think it's less to do that he's "brown", a MAGA or a hypocrite. It has to do with all of the shit happening in the U.S...let's not pussy foot around the Trump-Epstein Files not being released unredacted or any investigations (ZERO) into anyone in the files. Yet, he's in Italy, frat-boying it with the U.S. hockey team, swishing down a beer, acting like he just scored the winning goal! Take the temperature of the room if you are a top official! Cheers!

I'm actually ok for top department officials to fly private...but give them some budget to work within. You have 30 or 50 hours of private flight time for personal use a year...that's it. Make them pay tax on it as a benefit if used. Food, amenities are at your cost...not taxpayers. Security, safety, efficiency are all necessary for these officials...I understand that. But cap the personal stuff and they enjoy it as a taxable benefit...not a perk! Cheers!

That's a ballsy exposure to Fairfax India Ben! Hope you hit it out of the park! Cheers!

Actually, you are an outlier...whether you believe it or not. 75% of investors do not hold a stock longer than 5 years. ETF's have changed that slightly, but for those that own individual stocks, the holding period is not one of a business owner, but more of a speculator. Active fund managers are no different...their turnover is just as high. Berkshire shareholders, and even Fairfax shareholders, are more unique. Many have held for a long-time...a mindset encouraged by their CEO's. Again...outliers! Cheers!

Kash Patel on predecessor Chris Wray spending money flying privately on a government jet. Don't these fucking Trump assholes remember anything they've said on tape and would look absolutely hypocritical a year later? I guess if Trump doesn't remember all of his own hypocrisies, then why should they! Defending the indefensible...a Cubs and Cubsfan tradition since 1870! Cheers!

Jon Stewart absolutely demolishes Trump's Iran endeavor! Only after talking about the Make a Wish foundation's trip for Kash Patel to the hockey championship game! Absolutely hilarious! Cheers!

LOL! You think Kash is going to pay for anything? He's not reimbursing shit. Cheers!

+1! Cheers!

Yup! I don't care if it was the President or Vance...but the FBI director? Cubs, Sweet and Greg...shouldn't we all be critical of government waste? Especially at this time when governments are doing a shitty job of balancing budgets and paying down debt...doesn't matter whether its the U.S, Canada or Europe...they are all wasting taxpayer money on a lot of dumb shit. Cheers!

Welcome to the forum! Cheers!

Not really. Insurance is a very old business...probably one of the oldest businesses. Success has always come from long-term quality underwriting with a diversified business...whether it was the Rothschilds, Medicis, Lloyds, etc. Mistakes come from not being disciplined. But I agree with you that no business is a sure thing. You cannot fall in love with a stock. Those people who simply held on to Berkshire forever are outliers themselves. It's a behavior itself that rarely happens...holding a stock forever. The difference with companies like Berkshire, Fairfax, Markel, etc is that their streams of income do become diversified. They aren't wholly dependent on insurance profits...that's just a component...the main component, but not the only component. It's also why balance sheet strength to me is so important for an insurer. I think Prem gets that as he is getting older and the business will be run by the next generation. It's time that the balance sheet is more fortified...the income streams robust and diversified...the team is deep and talented...the insurance business all encompassing. It's a much better Fairfax Financial and will probably keep getting better! Cheers!

On another note, the UK is actually doing their job and going after the Epstein file criminals: https://www.cnn.com/2026/02/23/uk/peter-mandelson-arrested-gbr-intl While the U.S. focuses on this...keep up the good work FBI! Cheers!

Doo, he got you there...there was pretty funny! Cheers!
