Oh, you can’t, or oh you mean you wont. And then to boot take today’s gain out of it.
And then talk again a year or two years for now.
You POS mother fucker fraudster. Cherry pick your bullshit somewhere else.

Make their parents pay restitution.
G-clown hates his parents. He has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to track them down over the years, as they have moved numerous times without telling him.
G-clown’s parents wanted a heterosexual son. But most of all they wanted a son who is not a psychotic fuck.
So in his mind they must pay. Restitution, for conceiving a homosexual.

Who am I to disagree with such an eminent lawyer as he? But I disagree anyway. Trump’s election was not a “not guilty” verdict. It was a voluntary and knowing choice to elect an authoritarian despot with a criminal record, because that’s who Trump voters are, and that’s what they want.

@ 13
Trump’s election was not a “not guilty” verdict.
It was a “We see what you are doing.” declaration.
It was a mandate. It’s why corporations are rushing to ditch their silly DEI programs and to contribute to Trump’s inauguration fund. They saw what Democrats were doing, too.
@2 And, of course, no refinery ever catches fire.
@5 The only investment advice I ever offered to you was short GE. You didn’t. How did that work out for you? Well, at least you didn’t lose money on GE. You needed Tesla and Elon Musk for that.
@7 If morons like you hadn’t voted for a felon insurrectionist, we wouldn’t be saying hola to him again.
Having lots of long term options contracts closing OTM today is helpful for me in one respect.
It keeps me from dwelling on the sounds from down the hall on my wife’s date night.

@8 Future Supreme Court justices. They have all the required credentials: Catholics, private university, frat bois. What’s a conviction or two on their record? That never stopped Republicans from electing or appointing anybody.
All the whining by Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit. It’s all he’s got.
Of course DJT47 won a mandate.
@8 The best part of this episode for the victim is the assault occurred on campus. That could give him access to the university’s much deeper pockets via a negligent supervision claim. The ringleaders may be in prison too long to collect from them. When they lied to the police, they forgot colleges have surveillance cameras everywhere.
@9 Don’t say the election was stolen, because it wasn’t. It’s important to recognize a majority of voters, in a majority of states, chose a president who has to hide behind Supreme Court immunity to live in the White House instead of Rikers Island. I’m simply grateful to live in a state where the majority of my neighbors aren’t like those voters, and a Doctor Dumbfuck is an aberration, not the norm.
@10 “Her career has come to an end in humiliation.”
And I can’t think of anyone who deserves it more. Waffled on the Confederate flag, and flipflopped on Trump. Still embraces a toxic political party. She’s no Liz Cheney. This useless opportunist is a spineless jellyfish who drifts whichever way the current is flowing.
@ 27
… is an aberration, not the norm.
Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit’s alternative term for The 1% is aberration.
@18, 25 The 1932 Reichstag elections were a mandate, too. The point being an electoral mandate isn’t intrinsically good or bad, it’s whatever the voters choose and the chosen make it.
But it’s a stretch to call the 2024 results a mandate. This “mandate” was one of the skinniest popular vote margins ever, less than a majority, and a net loss of House seats for the winner’s party.
You call it a mandate, I call it “some mandate.”

I’m not a one-percenter, and my stock gains today will only be what a Republican Minimum Wage™ worker about to have his health care taken away to finance an invasion of Greenland and Jeff Bezos’ next tax break makes in a year.

Goes to show you nobody really does care about freedom nor democracy. We will see how successful this is.
Collectively when you lose the Popularity vote – it’s not a mandate, it’s a pretend mandate.

How big is the horse?
US Consumer Product Safety Commission ended litigation against Amazon.com after Amazon caved.
At issue, Amazon claimed that recalled or prohibited consumer products offered by third party or affiliate sellers were not their problem and they were under no obligation to police. But unlike Section 230 that governs only comments and speech, Amazon was arguing that they had every right to take a percentage of profits from sales of products known to cause harm.
Amazon agrees to take products under recall or warning and remove them from their site.

@ 34
… old-fashioned coal breakers …
Coal is what Ron Wyden calls “clean energy”.
If Ron Wyden embraces it, how can coal be “old-fashioned”, Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit?
@37 Now all Amazon shoppers have to worry about is counterfeit products.
@38 I shouldn’t have to explain this to a grown man in his late 50s or early 60s, but your severe reading comprehension deficit makes it necessary.
1. Nothing in your linked tweet shows Sen. Wyden referred to coal as “clean” energy. What Wyden likely was referring to is that China is the world’s largest producer and exporter of solar panels.
2. My comment @34 did not refer to coal as old fashioned. It called coal breakers, and specifically breaker boys, old fashioned.
Gawd, you are an idiot.
Jim Acosta was such an asshole during the first term that CNN has moved him to the midnight-2 a.m. slot for DJT47.
CNN saw what Trump did to Little George. CNN knows exactly what @ 35 Jake Tapper and the producers did to Zachary Young.
In that tweet, Trump’s treasury secretary nominee is quoted as calling Inflation Reduction Act spending “wildly out of control on the upside.”
According to the Congressional Budget Office, the IRA authorized “$891 billion in total spending” and “will raise $738 billion from tax reform and prescription drug reform to lower prices,” for a net cost of $153 billion, or roughly one-third of Elon Musk’s net worth.
I wonder what he’s going to call Trump’s proposed tax cuts, which will cost trillions; or whether, if confirmed, as treasury secretary he’ll call spending $900 billion to deport 19% of America’s workforce, or spending $1.5 trillion to buy or invade Greenland, “wildly out of control spending”? I’ll bet not.
Really, Republican hypocrites feel no shame.
Wait ’til Canadian sanctions make gas prices go up and Mexican produce skyrockets and people realize most of the things they buy to furnish their homes, scrub counters, toys for kids are from China and are up 50%

Oh, and before I forget, Trump’s treasury nominee’s plan to reduce deficits is pure fantasy.
https://www.rawstory.com/trump-economics/
If you want to reduce deficits, you have to stop slashing revenue. Slapping middle and lower income families with tariffs will help, but not nearly enough to pay for billionaire tax cuts.
An as yet unknown “Foreign Permanent Resident” in Bury (Manchester) UK imported his Cybertruck. The moment police saw it they pulled him over and confiscated the vehicle as, due to safety flaws and the quite obvious threat they pose to pedestrians the vehicle is not legal in the UK or the EU. As such, the vehicle can neither be registered or insured giving police legal claim to confiscate it.
Now if Britain had a Laken Riley Act the owner would be deported posthaste.

Congrats on being the least liked on inauguration day in 80 years.
Is it at all surprising that Elon cheats?
Elon made the claim and showed player stats that he was a top 20 ranked Diablo IV player and top 20 at various other games. Now that doesn’t mean shit unless you are a gamer. And the problem is Elon also claims to run three companies, pops up at events with Donald, drops Youtube videos of being at Space X launches, etc.
People who actually are top 10 (yes there is money in that) say they spent 100-120 hours a week mastering the game to get there.
So they are getting very vocal that Elon has hired someone to play for him.
And the second thinnest skinned man in the world reacts by removing blue checks from gamers on X who call him a liar.

90% at income over $1m. Gradient tax brackets are a thing.
Everything dollar you make under $100K, 15%. $100k-500K 25%, Every dollar 500K-999K 50%, everything $1m or more 90% for example.
If you’re following, make 100K, take home is 80K
If you make 200K take home is $155K
If you make $600k, take home is $430K
If you make $999K, take home is $667.5k
If you make $1.5m, take home is $738K
If you make $2m, take home is $788k
If you make $3m, take home is $888k
Remove the incentive to concentrate wealth in the E-Suite
Why back in my day there was incentive to funnel profits back into growing a business because if you just handed the money to a CEO or Shareholders Uncle Sam would just take it and build roads and airports and trains and dams and tanks and fighter planes and warships and all kinds of things that required skilled and unskilled labor who then spent their earnings at shops and restaurants and entertainment.
Some?
Any?
