Attack on press freedom

 The "censorship industrial complex" 

https://judiciary.house.gov/committee-activity/hearings/censorship-industrial-complex

hot damn there are some good receipts in this thread 

"A man plants a bomb in his home. Primes it go off in a week. After panic grips the neighborhood, and this man's friends all loot it, the man decides to defuse the bomb.

He is then celebrated by his wife, children and friends as a hero and savior and his credit score improves."

Thought this was a pretty funny illustration of recent events.... 

.....almost 90 days in 

There is much to unpack here.  I understand what you are saying and where you are coming from, BUT....do you really think any of this is going to happen?  Don't hold your breath on the lot of it is what I'm saying   

I know you are passionate about your hate of Donald but a good deal of what you wrote here you have a problem with has been done the same by the previous administration where you had sat silent on the past four years.  I realize why of course, but it is ironic that some of what you have such a problem with the exact same thing was done before him and throughout the history of politics.  The only difference being you can put a face on it now whereas in the past it was just the regime behind the scenes pulling the strings.  Point is, if you have an issue with it now then you should've had one in the past as bad is bad regardless of political affiliations.

 Get these crazy fuckers like Stephen Miller in front of a judge 

Miller....the "Hebrew Hammer".  

@Raiders22

 My point is people get scared and sell at the wrong time or are out of the market on its best days.  There are such few great days where the majority of the gains are made each year.  You do not want to miss any of those days. It always comes down to ‘not timing the market, but time in the market’.  

Yes, 100%   

Quick update....

A new record of $1 trillion was just approved for the defense budget.....like I've said, nothing DOGE will do can ever compare to the Government's ability to "spend baby spend".  The "uni-party" is still alive and well 90 plus days in 

@Midnight1

 He has to be stopped!

I see you state this often....what is you "plan" for this happening?  

midterms aren't for another 18 months.  Flip the House and we are looking at another impeachment.  BUT, that is still almost 2 years away.  

So how can he be "stopped" I wonder....? 

@Midnight1

 Trump is owned by one Country and one Country only.....

Welcome back to the cesspool, your contributions are already appreciated from what this place has turned into in your absence  

@Raiders22

 I'm a DCA guy....I wait patiently for dips big and small.  Plenty of equities under their 200 days in past few weeks and currently.  Never "too young" to be making money off having a cash position ready to deploy some dry powder in relation to your total brokerage.  Why does everything have to be spoken about in absolutes around here so much... there is no "one size fits all".  Everyone has a different timeline, goals and how to reach those objectives.  Mine is no different 

@nature1970

 Welcome back good sir 

@cd329

 sorry, short on time today, heading to Augusta for round 1 tomorrow.  You are far off on your assertions of me and you know it, which is why you attempt trigger words like "fox news" and "maga".  I usually don't miss an opportunity to shit on legacy news and poor information sources, which was my point, so don't take it personally. 

I saw your tesla factory comment and I do have a response but you only asked for "magas" so I skipped it.  I'll get back to you next week buddy....until then, you just keep on keeping on 

This was apparent last Thursday....6 days ago.  This is old news.  Perfect example of relying on information from information from places like "yahoo".  

"The calculations used by the White House were already somewhat controversial after it became apparent that discounted “reciprocal tariff” amounts were based on a simple formula of dividing the U.S.’s trade deficit with a foreign country by that country’s total exports to the U.S. The resulting number was then divided by two and used as the tariff rate for said country."  

This information was readily available last Thursday and Friday and it took yahoo almost a full week to get it to the public.  That is funny.  Not as funny as the formula they used but still funny.  This has Lutnick & Navarro's paws all over it.  Jokesters.  

@Midnight1

 Russia, North Korea and Cuba all have trade embargos and/or sanctions   

 Question you should be asking is, "why would we drop the tariffs to zero for Israel".  If you really want to insinuate Trump is owned by another Country (Russia) you need to start looking at the right Country (not Russia) 

Is it "OK" to say "retard" or "retarded" again now??  

Legit question to MODS.  I would like approval like I had in the late 80s and early 90s to call people "retards" and "retarded".  Like my little brother back in the day, "hey you retard".  Or "man that shit is retarded".  Then he'd come back with "you're the gay retard".  I remember those days fondly...I'm going to text my brother now....  

@BigGame90

 Personally, I don't trust my money in a "pool" for management. I'd rather do my own research instead of letting a money manager throw darts at a board or buy what's best for their firms best interest. 

As I've aged wiser over the years I've learned this  30's was all 401k index funds.  Now it's 50/50 with the self directed brokerage.  One is down roughly 10% and the other only 1%.  Cash is king and I'm waiting patiently.
