While I respect everyone's right not to vote, for me it is important to vote in elections in which there is a clear-cut policy favorite. People who stereotype or generically classify certain voters in any way are intellectually lazy and not worth the time or effort. Same goes for those who do the same for Trump. In NJ voting was a waste of time. The lower forms of life in places like Trenton, Patterson, etc always determine the elections. I was in the process of leaving that mess. I also firmly believe I have the proper tools at my disposal, as a capable human being, to navigate whatever cards get put on the board, whether it be deficits or inflation/deflation, wars, handouts, loan forgiveness etc. The few things that need control from a higher level, I’ve mentioned before…taxes, law and order, making government smaller, sure I’ll generally stand behind whomever supports that stuff. All that other stuff, what the Atlantic or NYT times says, “his personality”, “what about the fentanyl”…leave that shit for the folks whom just like to bitch and moan to bitch and moan. Life would be a little duller without them!

We re to believe all this bitching and moaning from your kind is on behalf of the people that did vote for him?(and I’ll again reiterate I did not vote for any candidate last election, so spare me from the list of “people whom voted for Trumps campaign” that you’re on this deranged mission for!) Lmfao! Not to mention, that many of the people whom did vote for Trump, are telling you they’re OK with what he is delivering, but fear not, your dog with rabies, deranged mental complex leads you to just ignoring them, referring back to thinking everything is a cult, and then telling them you know what’s best for them and they dont(another classic trait of the deranged liberal) and then revving back up again with the bitching and moaning on behalf of….. Good grief this is deep for you huh? Greg, you have to admit...if Trump ran the George Costanza plan, things would be far better and he'd probably achieve his objectives! You have to admit, there's a lot of similarities! Cheers!

I've decided to take the "fun" approach to dealing with these issues rather than react to Trump's craziness! I'm too busy buying and selling in my trading accounts to worry about all of this stuff. Every day, he throws one industry or another into a tizzy, and markets are discounting the risks in his TACOing and what they are paying for risk assets. I'm going to take advantage while this is happening, because at some point, things may explode or they may get fixed. It's a 50/50 crapshoot presently! But the volatility is plain silly! Cheers!

Yes, what Trump sells best is the journey. That's where he takes people far away from what they once believed or what they highly value within others, to a life of simply being "with him" in all ways no matter what.

ourkid8 Posted April 23 Posted April 23 (edited) Iran just posted another target, they are laying the ground work on next steps! - you have to give them kudos on their clarity of potential strikes! The Strait of Hormuz is not only a major chokepoint for oil and gas shipments (about 20% of global supply) but also an important route for international data traffic via undersea fiber-optic cables on the seafloor. These cables carry a significant portion of internet, banking, cloud, and communications data for the Gulf region, connecting Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and beyond. What do you think happens when those cables get snipped? Edited April 23 by ourkid8
LC Posted April 23 Posted April 23 https://cmarmitage.substack.com/p/the-chief-justice-and-his-wife-took LOL This corrupt POS Over sixteen years of federal financial disclosure forms, Chief Justice John Roberts mischaracterized more than twenty million dollars in household income from law firms appearing before the Supreme Court. He concealed his wife’s equity stake in her employer for three consecutive years. He failed to recuse from more than five hundred cases argued at the Supreme Court by law firms that had paid his household millions in commissions. He architected the Court’s first ethics code and designed it to be unenforceable. This is a course of conduct stretching across two decades, connected by a single through-line: the belief that the rules that apply to every other federal judge do not apply to him.
Spekulatius Posted April 23 Posted April 23 (edited) 23 hours ago, Gregmal said: This is also not really a "war" as much as it is a case of a bigger more financial and military ready country beating up on a smaller one, because it can, and because it feels it has good reason. Comparing it to Ukraine, Afghanistan, Vietnam is pretty preposterous. A large country beating up a smaller country still a war. It‘s just an asymmetrical war you need to expect an asymmetrical response. There were good reasons to get involved in Ukraine ( Putin being aggressor to restore his idea of Greater Russia, Afghanistan (root out terrorism that brought us 9/11) , Vietnam (domino theory and keeping South Vietnam a western country against North Vietnamese and Chinese sponsored aggression ). How are these reasons fundamentally different from the reasons to go against Iran? Edited April 23 by Spekulatius

Lazarus Posted April 23 Posted April 23 You guys are quoting from blogs, not legit news sources. The only legit news article I found says that his wife is a legal headhunter and she made 10 million at her job. And it was disclosed.

None of the cables are critically vital in the region and the most affected players would be the middle Eastern countries. Not sure anyone else would care.
Parsad Posted April 23 Posted April 23 Cubs, can you explain how if this war was such an overwhelming success, why are they firing top brass that helped win the war? https://finance.yahoo.com/sectors/energy/articles/us-iran-deadlocked-over-hormuz-172226725.html Also, it seems we are at a stalemate where we are waiting for someone to blink? Might as well pop some popcorn and sit tight for a while watching the spectacle! Cheers!

Mainly extended boots on the ground campaigns.
