I feel like labeling a large group of humans as inherently evil is almost evil itself.

 

600,000 criminal illegal aliens is more that enough!

MAGA has the collective brain cells of a freshly-made salad.

 

Trump is working with one less.

Good chance in the current climate you’ll end up dead….like for reals dead.

Yeah, sorry, but Trump is the most important guy in the world right about now.  

I know you hate that - but that's your problem.

I'm reading the book in that Bogle picture, and it's crazy to me how shitty of a person Trump is. Anyone who likes this man has done a great job at fooling themselves.

 

The book also talks about how Mitt Romney led a Republican coalition trying to stop him during the 2016 primary election. It basically makes me feel like the current Republican party is a gross abomination of its formal self.

McCain and Romney were good men. Trump however is a piece of shit.

Something unique about this customer cohort alright….i guess if you were in advertising you might put them in the ‘highly suggestible’ cohort and target products and services at them accordingly.

 

 

“The 47 Plan” for $47.45 /mo….shameless grifter.

I imagine this is how rational Germans must have felt watching Hitler rise to power — they listened to his speeches, read Mein Kampf, recognized the obvious danger and cruelty in his ideology, yet were still forced to watch as those around them got swept up by his rhetoric and charisma.

Of course it's not to that same degree. Trump might an be ass, but he's no Hitler.

And they were losers to the American people. The party and the people picked their path. Some of it obviously just a response to the Obama “everything is about race” identity politics stuff. It was quite potent and really the only guy who could take it and not be affected at the polls was Trump, who is the human equivalent of a wild boar.

They were terrific men, but they were weak.

 

It's going to be a long 4 years for you @Blake Hampton

I'm actually glad Trump won. Dude won the booby prize and he doesn't even know it.

Jack Bogle's office:

 

 

 

LOL!  Of course it's progress.  John Bogle was married to his wife for over 63 years...everyone should have 3 wives and a bunch of mistresses and be considered Christ-like like Trump!  Cheers!

John Bogle was awesome.

 

Maybe some people just have the wrong heroes.

Living in a nice townhome is one thing but making $600M in a year with his presidency is another.

AOC could be a brand as well...but she'll probably charge $9.99 a hat and no AOC bible.  Cheers!

You should believe anything you feel is true. I posted articles with sources on crime, and you get to decide. I will certainly believe Kash Patel before I believe most people.

 

Yeah, that's not really how it works.  You CAN believe anything you feel is true.  SHOULD you believe anything you feel is true is another matter.  Cheers!

Heroes are men that are not afraid to die for their country like Trump.

 

I suppose you could try for a 3rd time, but it's not going to stop him.

Again, let's not go so far Blake...they have pretty much secured the southern border and started to deal with a problem that 7 administrations (with 3 two-term presidents) felt was too difficult...even the 1st term of Trump couldn't solve it as well as they have this time.  Whether we like the way they are doing it or not...the end result is there!  Like a chainsaw again, but it is there.  Cheers!

Few things are more heroic than a man serving his country and willing to die.

 

What makes it even more special is when you're filthy rich - and have no need to risk your life.  I know you're only 23 - and are smart as a whip. 

 

Smart is not the same thing as having wisdom.

Let's all agree that whether you have money or not, and you risk your time and possibly your life for any sort of public service, it is always commendable.

 

I think we can also agree that you shouldn't be selling bibles for a profit in such a position either.

 

Cheers!

Thank you and I agree.

I would recommend sitting down and really trying to contemplate how your thinking could be wrong. You don't have to accept it, just entertain the idea. Politics is important because it ultimately affects our money; especially now with the way the government is deeply entrenched in seemingly everything.

 

I like the idea of exploring how I could be wrong. I think that in itself is a form of wisdom.

[Blake Hampton]

Sometimes I feel like an idiot for focusing so much on politics, and I'm sure that I still do, but there's no denying that this stuff is important.

 

It's crazy to me just how "involved" the government is. One of the first things I noticed when I started studying all of this is just how focused everyone was on the Fed. I know why now but it's still crazy. Just imagine how difficult it would be to remove the government from things the way some traditionalists want. I wouldn't even know where to start. I don't even know if it's possible.

[Blake Hampton]

And it's even the more upsetting because a lot of these politicians act like goobers.

Biden and Trump, both goobers.

I've had 10 years to "contemplate" my thinking. And whether you like it or not, a large portion of the American public agree with me.

 

I've explained before that I basically thought Trump was a buffoon when he announced his candidacy - and it took me well over a year to change my mind. That's why we have extended campaigns and primaries. So while you were high school I made up my mind. In no way am I disappointed. And he has grown tremendously as a leader of men.

 

Trump is an American hero whether you like it or no.
