  1. Probably won't matter to the MAGA faithful. No matter what I say about Canada, they still think the country is run by Trudeau, fentanyl flows like water and we use dinghies as our navy! Can't see how what a Washingtonian says would matter to them. Cheers!
  2. Isn't that what they used to say about Nixon? Cheers!
  3. Genius at work again! https://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/china-military-parade-xi-jinping-09-03-25-intl-hnk He's got a big brain...big I tell ya...big, round, not squishy...it's a perfect brain...some might say handsome brain...IQ is so high, sooo high...might be the smartest man alive. "Vlad's a friend, I believe him"..."I have a great relationship with Kim"..."I like CHY-NA, but I like President Xi very much, have always liked him!" Cheers!
  4. That's because about 75% of cities vote Democrat. Doesn't matter if it is a red state or a blue state. So explain to me why Trump has sent in the National Guards to Washington...which is relatively low compared to many other cities...and threatening Chicago, which is far down the list. Shouldn't he be sending them to the top ten? How about the top twenty? Washington isn't till number 29! Not even number 19 by population. So no rhyme or reason, other than he wants to make an example of Democratic governors! Cheers!
  5. 70 lawsuits, hundreds of people investigating, don't know how many MAGA nutjobs insinuating, and still zero proof that there was any fraud in the 2016, 2020 or 2024 election of any significance...especially enough to turn the election! So can it with the election fraud bullshit! Cheers!
  6. +1! This is the primary real world example of why it doesn't work as is...yet hardly made a dent in the juggernaut of belief in BTC. That's kind of why I'm concerned that this tulip bubble may grow far larger than any other bubble at some point and wreak the havoc that all bubbles do when they burst! Cheers!
  7. OJ was a great football player. Michael Jackson was one of the most talented singers in history. At one time, Giuliani was respected...a hero to New Yorkers after 9/11...a friend and admirer of John McCain. But then he tied his horse to Trump's wagon and like most in that sphere, fell off the wagon, lost everything and walked off into an ignominious sunset. And he won't be the only one...there are dozens and dozens who fell to the same fate. Probably by the time Trump is done, there will be a few hundred! Cheers!
  8. Looks pretty evenly split to me...and Washington is well behind many other cities...Chicago is way down the list. So you can cut it up whatever way you want, there was no need for what Trump is doing. Funding for additional personnel on a federal level to coordinate tactics against drugs, gangs, guns, trafficking, etc would have been more productive. Cheers! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_crime_rate
  9. Actually, I think he stopped short so the car behind him rear ended him. He needs every penny to pay all of his penalties and lawsuits. I'm sure he'll clear a few million by suing the other driver, which should help him out for a while. Cheers!
  10. Still about half of the per capita rate in most southern red states! Now that is fucking horrible...lol! Cheers!
  11. Trump gives Presidential Medal of Freedom to another fallen politician and pedo: https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/01/politics/rudy-giuliani-trump-presidential-medal-of-freedom Cheers!
  12. Yeah, how is this now working for Trumpie? Alienate Canada and Mexico. Alienate all of Europe pretty much. Piss off parts of South America. Force competitors to now form an Asian global alliance that could make the U.S. the next England. This is really going to strengthen trade, security and economic growth! Hey, but you still have Israel and on occasion Putin! Cheers! https://www.cnn.com/2025/08/30/china/chinas-xi-rolls-out-red-carpet-for-putin-modi-as-trump-upends-global-relations
  13. I'm not doubting that markets are overvalued, but I'm not sure 2000 rhymes historically with 2025. Most of the tech companies in 2000 were not making actual money other than the Microsofts, Intels and Ciscos. The rest were essentially junk or were companies like Amazon! Today, most of the tech companies are profitable and have excess working capital. Maybe you could compare tech companies with negative working capital in 2000 to tech companies with negative working capital in 2025. Those numbers probably will not match. Cheers!
  14. It's not a big ask...we do the same in Canada. But change the laws. Having armed men at election polls asking for ID is not the solution. Why the hell is it that every time it's a policy issue, MAGA says let's intimidate rather than change policy. Is it because it's easier and quicker and they don't actually want to go through what's required constitutionally? Cheers!
  15. We aren't used to that type of behavior in Canada. When I go to Washington state, I still get intimidated and wary every time I see someone walking around with a gun because of open carry. I don't get that feeling anywhere in Canada. I don't get that feeling when I go to London. I don't get feeling when I go to Australia or New Zealand. We don't see people with guns at elections asking for ID. Yes, illegal immigration is a big problem in the U.S. I'm not sure guys with guns at elections is a real solution to that. Especially when there was no wide-spread fraud due to illegals. Cheers!
  16. One of Trumpie's MAGA supporters practicing fraud like the master! Cheers! https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/bombshell-texts-dr-phil-case-153905801.html
  17. I'm talking about elections...not in general. It's an intimidation practice to scare legal voters from voting because they may be kidnapped and sent to some black site where their family will never hear from them again! Cheers!
  18. Hahaha! Are you suggesting it was the illegals that bundled together bad mortgages into AAA MBS as well as your purported election fraud? Also, how do we know how many of these supposed voting illegals voted for Trump? He had 42% of the Latino vote...that's a lot...I would imagine, according to your estimates, a shitload must have been illegal! When I stayed at the Trump hotel in Chicago, about 90% of the employees were Latino...how many were illegal? Cheers!
  19. Yeah, that's not how it works. Election officials have a registry of names of people who can vote in a region. If you don't have ID you are given a provisional ballot. That ballot is then vetted by checking the name, past voting practices, address, etc. If someone else voted with that name, the provisional ballot individual has to produce ID to verify themselves. So that's why there was no actual wide-spread fraud as many MAGA supporters assert. There may have been minor fraud here and there, but there was no wide-spread fraud that affected the election results. More fraud happened in Donald Trump's offices than in the general U.S. and state elections! Cheers!
  20. Is ICE going to show up at red-city/red-state locations doing the same thing? I don't think so. Cheers!
  21. Where do you think the firearms come from? And don't let the facts get in the way either! Cheers! https://www.bu.edu/sph/news/articles/2018/guns-used-in-cross-border-crimes-originate-from-states-with-more-lax-laws/ https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2023/04/23/surprising-geography-of-gun-violence-00092413 https://www.congress.gov/118/meeting/house/116676/documents/HHRG-118-JU08-20231213-SD004.pdf
  22. So guns for everyone are essential for work, travel, deliveries, public transportation, etc. Didn't know guns were so universally useful and necessary! Would have taken a shitload of cars and knives to kill all of the people that were shot at the concert outside Mandalay Bay! Cheers!
  23. Not saying crypto itself caused the failures, but the combination of spiking interest rates, collapse of FTX and a lack of liquidity led to it. A lack of liquidity is almost always 100% the reason why banks collapse and confidence erodes in the banking system. What if you had a loss of confidence in a fiat currency that was used to peg a stablecoin...then you have a failure not only in the fiat currency but all assets backed by the stablecoin. Now imagine Blackstone or some other "Too Big to Fail" leveraging the hell out of this stuff with derivatives in one of their funds or financial institutions taking deposits in both the fiat currency and the stablecoin...I'm not smart enough to tell you what might happen...but I don't think it would be pretty or super simple to deal with. Cheers!
  24. Yup, certainly helps. He shot them through the window Reds...try throwing a knife from the same place and see if it does the same damage! Why doesn't this happen in the UK, Australia or Canada as often as it happens in the U.S.? Stop making excuses! Cheers!
