The omicron variant is being found in several Washington locations. 6 of the 9 cases are in King County. I don’t have any idea if it’s in King County more than the rest of the state, or if more testing is being done in King County.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And for goodness sake, if you aren’t vaccinated, get vaccinated, and if you aren’t boosted (boosterized?) get it.
Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit, last night:
@50 That’s nothing, the stock market reaches new peaks every day, and futures are up tonight again.
Reality, today:
Dow 35,653.59 -317.40 -0.88%
S&P 500 4,679.20 -32.82 -0.70%
Nasdaq 15,445.81 -184.79 -1.18%
Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit is a bloviating clown with embarrassingly awful investment instincts.
@1 Things are moving in your direction, dumbfuck. By a whopping 0.7%. Be patient! Only 9.3% – 14.3% left to go. Meanwhile, rake in that 0.1% money market interest.
The first rule of equity investing is that if you have to include your dividends to support your investment decision, you decided wrongly.
The only stock I bought in 2008 is 125 shares of AT&T for $2,462 on 10/13/08, which I still own. I could have sold those shares Friday for $2,284, so we’ll assume that’s what they’re worth. I’ve collected $3,100 of dividends from those shares. (I’ve added them up.)
The second rule of equity investing is never be dumbfuck enough to describe your obvious losers as if they are winners. The current DJIA is 217% higher than the average closing DJIA in 2008, and that doesn’t include dividends.
$2,284 plus $3,100 = $5,384. Subtract my purchase price ($5,384 – $2,462 = $1,922) and that’s my net profit. I’ve owned owned those shares 10 years and 2 months, so let’s divide that by 122 months and multiply by 12. We get ($1,922/122) x 12 = $189 per year. Now divide that by $2,462 and my return is 7.68% a year.
The third rule of equity investing is never assume that a dividend is anything more than a bribe to entice a dumbfuck to hold onto a loser because he thinks he can spin it into a winner by extolling the virtues of its dividend.
That’s nearly 77 times what you’re making on your cash sitting in a money market account.
Berkshire Hathaway doesn’t pay a dividend. Using Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit’s rationale, he’s infinitely more brilliant than Warren Buffett.
The most important rule of equity investing is don’t be a dumbfuck.. Don’t be Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit.
Miami’s commuter rail trains may not be able to serve MiamiCentral station due to clearance issues. MiamiCentral was built by the private BrightLine operation. It’s a good operation, has faced a lot of NIMBY suits, from some of the same people who hate Government in Business, but want to tell the Florida East Coast Railway what they can do with their railroad. More worried about short passenger trains than long, slow freight trains, as the FEC was an early disciple of Precision Scheduled Railroading.
https://www.trains.com/trn/news-reviews/news-wire/tri-rail-service-to-brightlines-miami-station-faces-clearance-issues/
Math lesson for Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit: If you bought your AT&T shares in 2008, you have owned them for 13 or more years, not 10 years, 2 months.
Unfortunately, Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit, this reduces your annual return to $147, and reduces your ROI to 6.0%. Which is even more pitiful. And laughable.
I see that Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit is an odd lot investor, having purchased 125 shares of AT&T. Not 100 or 200. 125. For most of us an odd lot purchase is 900 shares of something instead of 1000.
BBB will cost Maggie Hassan her job.
In a few more years the Democrat nominee will visit Florida as often as the GOP nominee visits California.

El Salvador’s President Accuses Biden Administration of Corruption — and Drops Private Text Messages When Challenged
That’s a tweet from El Salvador’s president.
@3 Wherein a dumbfuck wants us to believe that options contracts are real money and dividend checks aren’t.
Personally, I think your “rules of investing” suck.
I’ll bet your wife does, too.
@5 You’re right. I made a bleary-eyed counting error at 12:39 a.m. My ROE is only 60 times yours, not 77 times. I accept the correction.
@8 Most of us utilize more reputable sources than yours:
“A right-wing populist, Bukele has been criticized for governing in an authoritarian manner. In particular, he was denounced for sending soldiers into the Legislative Assembly to encourage the passage of a bill and allegedly to overthrow the Legislative Assembly of El Salvador. This action, his handling of endemic violence in El Salvador, and his strict response to the COVID-19 pandemic have led some academics to describe him as an autocrat or an authoritarian. Transparency International cited El Salvador and Colombia as examples of an ‘explosion of irregularities and corruption cases’ related to the handling of the pandemic in Latin America. Twenty government institutions of the Bukele administration were under investigation by the Attorney General’s Office, until, in May 2021, Bukele led a parliamentarian move to fire the attorney general and five supreme court judges of El Salvador, which has been characterized as a self-coup and sparked fears of democratic backsliding and a power-grab.”
However, I understand your attraction to a “rightwing authoritarian” in the mold of John Eastman and Mike Flynn.

6,
I checked the toplines (data tables and methodology are not published).
Build Back Better is not even mentioned in the poll.
You fell for a fake teaser headline in a publication that is actually rather famous for that. It’s one of their “one weird tricks”.
This makes you both very old and laughably gullible.
Congratulations. You are the joke in the SNL Amazon Echo Silver sketch.
@ 14
Build Back Better is not even mentioned in the poll.
You assume the poll asked only the questions included in that document. I assume the report linked to by Kraushaar was written by someone who saw the entire poll and published based upon what was seen.
Your observation that the specific question about popularity of BBB in NH was not included in the Toplines document is noted. The document title is “NH Journal Poll Toplines 1”, which implies that there’s a Toplines 2 document somewhere.
Boy, you really got me on that one.
Today is National Horse Day.
Thanks to former US Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell.
A hundred billion does seem a little high.
@16 “Today is National Horse Day.”
So does your fuck buddy get the day off?
@17
Poor horse, it should get the day off. Better yet, role reversal.
Doc will probably hoist a class of vino and give a toast, little does he know it is a toast to the cruelty of man’s exploitation of horses and pack animals.

It is wrong to fire workers for demanding better treatment and wages. Our Administration is concerned about Kellogg’s plans to permanently replace their workers who are currently on strike. Workers in America have the right to demand better.
Employers in America have the right to refuse, and hire others instead, when workers demand more than they are worth. That’s what happened to the Kellogg employees.
TMZ tells America what Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit was really worth:
KIM KARDASHIAN PASSES BABY BAR EXAM …
One Step Closer To Becoming Attorney
For those who think becoming an attorney is difficult, Kim would like to tell you
I bet she answered the Fleeing Felon question correctly.
The BBB act would include a $4,000 tax credit for purchasers of a used EV.
In other words, EVs are such an irrational option for most people that the government has to subsidize them twice.
@20 What you failed to mention: “Kim had previously failed the exam 3 times” (from your linked story)
I’m curious how many tries it took you to pass the medical boards. No, on second thought, I’m not.
She has looks to fall back on. You had to pass.
@21 How much do we spend on military to protect access to oil?
@ 23
In which Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit channels Ron and Rand Paul.
Since the country still runs on fossil fuels, protecting access to oil is akin to protecting the nation’s economic interests.
You might see it differently if you lived in a colder climate without hydroelectric energy sources. Or if you had a three-digit IQ. Or a personal economic interest worth protecting.
It’s difficult to do justice to a Capitol rioter of this caliber, but I gave it my best shot.
@24 You not only missed the point, you missed the whole fucking barn.
15,
Way to own the Dumbfuckery. The poll did not ask a question about the BBB framework/bill. It isn’t there. It’s a game of conservatard post office where the journo writing about the poll mentioned voter responses to “big government spending packages similar to the Biden proposal”, then the headline writer changed it a little saying they were “opposed”, then Kraushaar changed it a little more saying the majority of NH voters oppose the legislation, then you put the Stupidity Cherry on top of the Dumbfuckery sundae by announcing that Hassan would lose next year.
This is how you fucktards concluded that Gina Haspel had been kidnapped and that John Podesta was dining on Satanic baby flesh in an invisible dungeon under a pizza joint.
Keep it up. It always looks good on you. You’ll give Shortbus a run for his money yet.
Someone gave First Vegetable Joe Biden one too many swirlies.
Twice in this thread, @ 14 and @ 27, the increasingly whiny bitch QoS McHillbilly claimed that a poll did not ask a question that multiple sources had reported. I linked to two of them @ 6.
QoS McHillbilly assumed, incorrectly @ 14, that a two-page summary of a couple of questions was the entire fucking poll.
Well, whiny bitch QoS McHillbilly, here’s the entire, 37 page document containing the poll questions, answers, and crosstabs.
On pages 23-24 of that document the following question is asked:
As you may know, Congress is considering a $2 trillion “Build Back Better” bill to fund social spending and green energy policies. Would you support or oppose this bill?
The results are as I indicated @ 6, above.
Total 45% 52% 3%
Majority disapproval.
What an asshole you have so quickly become, QoS McHillbilly. What an asshole.
Call Biden a worthless pussy without calling Biden a worthless pussy.
Not so useful to y’all now, is he, libbies?
@27 And these people want to run our public schools …
@28 The implication for dumbfucks being that these tornadoes prove climate change either doesn’t exist or isn’t a problem we need to do anything about.
@29 So does this mean if a president is approved by 46.9% of the voters and disapproved by 52.3% of the voters in an election, he shouldn’t be president anymore?
@30 Looks like he wants more military support and economic aid. I assume you and your fellow Vindman supporters are willing to pay for it. After all, it’s not taxpayer money that would go to a barefoot working mom in Arkansas. What do you want from Ukraine in exchange this time?
Antifa goon in PDX goes after a marshal with a demolition hammer. He’s had 16 months of incarceration to think about how to be less of an asshole to society in the future, and he’ll have another 30 months in a federal pen before he’s released into society and perpetual unemployment.

Pandemic’s over.
Look at the bright side, it’s less money chasing too-few supplies if YLB’s kids have to begin paying their debts again instead of dumping cash into the GoFundMe accounts of indicted Antifa thugs.
Nobody treats a woman more viciously than another woman.
Just ask YLB.
Interesting news out of California, where solar subsidies are going to be slashed.
Here’s from a LAT piece last month:
This is what I’ve been tellin’ y’all for years. Solar’s a grift. YLB’s kids pay people like me to install this shit, and some green companies make bank while YLB’s kids see their electricity bills rise so that mine can fall.
Always follow the money. Hunter Biden knew this when he helped Chinese companies improve their abilities to corner the market on solar battery rare earth elements.
29,
I suppose it was necessary for Bob to throw in all that focused rage and snowflakery to cover up the underlying flaw…
…that it’s an online survey poll selected from cell phone users, not weighted for party.
That’s all we needed to know that this was a bullshit, push poll. And that’s why Bob left it out and only was willing to link thrice removed sources with no connection to the underlying data. Because he knows his data is shit.
“… to fund social spending and green energy policies…” Push.
“The Build Back Better bill would grant work permits to illegal immigrants…” Having a permit makes it legal. Push.
“…with most of this benefit going to the highest-income Americans.” Push.
Etc. Read it for yourselves. Then laugh.
Bob, you are a fucking clown. When you get all pissy and outraged, you are a sad fucking clown.
Gonna cry?
34,
The long term goal that Vindman supports, it getting Ukraine into NATO.
Can’t do that unilaterally. There’s a lot of domestic political turmoil among European NATO allies that is not aided by confronting Putin right now. And it isn’t just Putin. He could die tomorrow and this problem would not go away. Clarifying U.S. policy and objectives is wonderful. But we should continue to approach Ukraine in unison with our NATO allies.

@ 35
Good.
The NYT piece is paywalled. How much of the sentence is hate-related or otherwise enhanced? Seems stiff just for what he did and I am assuming that his writings pushed him into a longer term.
@ 39
You neglected to mention that a firm called “New England Polling” doesn’t come up readily with a Google search. I looked three times.
I don’t disagree with your points, QoS McHillbilly. I didn’t have the whole poll available when I posted @ 6 yesterday. Neither did you, and so you claimed the reported question didn’t exist.
Now you realize you were wrong. Unable to admit it, of course, but you do realize you were wrong.
Looking forward to Maggie Hassan’s defense of BBB when she’s finally asked about it in a venue in which she cannot deflect.
I’m sure Senator Hassan is just dying to go on the record with this.
Do it, Chuck Schumer. Do it.
Go to the library. If you need help, Roger is available. But you’ll have to ask nicely.
Mr. Swinney was convicted on eleven separate violent felony charges, including second degree assault, fourth degree assault, and unlawful use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. His sentencing was not “enhanced” but it certainly was impacted by his consistent, and frequent statements expressing not only a lack of remorse, but the avowed intention to continue to commit similar violent felonies in American communities if given the opportunity. During his trial he described his victims as “terrorists” described feelings of “joy” upon learning the extent of their injuries.
I think ten years is very light under the circumstances, given his violent history, his membership in a violent street gang involved in domestic terrorism, his complete lack of remorse, and his statements describing his intentions to continue committing violent crimes. If he was Rollin’ 60s he’d be gone for life.
Antifa did not try to overthrow democracy on Jan 6. They stayed home and watched on television like the rest of America while Proud Boys did.
43,
I admit that you were wrong for citing a third hand source about an bad poll that you could not support with anything other than social media opinions. y
The question was asked. And now we know it. Because yesterday you were dishonest, corrupt, and lazy. But the question was asked badly, in a poorly designed poll conducted in an unscientific manner. And that’s the most logical explanation for why the source was omitted originally, given your consistent record of bullshit. Just ask your “FB friends in CO”.
It’s a weak signal concealed amidst corrupt data. You needed a shirtless end-zone dance. So you made one up. That’s what you do.
#38. Does anyone believe the greed racist incel has ever cared one bit about the poor? He’s concern trolling because he thinks it will own the libs.
I have been, some may say, unkind to the Vice President. In my opinion she deserves it.
That having been said, I wish to point out this item:
U.S. Treasury allocates $8.7 bln to community, minority lenders
According to one of her communications people, @HerbieZiskend46, then-Senator Harris wrote the bill resulting in this legislative achievement in 2020.
Which probably means that I should verify that she wasn’t just one of 47 co-signers, but I digress.
Anyway, if one concedes that what ol’ Herbie says is true, it would have been better for Reuters to have mentioned it.
More on @ 48
It’s an amendment to the CARES Act. https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/senate-bill/4255/text
Harris might have been involved crafting it, but it was introduced by Senator Mark Warner, who got the billing as sponsor:
Sponsor: Sen. Warner, Mark R. [D-VA] (Introduced 07/21/2020)
Harris was one of three co-sponsors on the bill introduction date. So was Cory Booker. So was Chuck Schumer.
Now we know why Reuters didn’t include a note that Harris wrote the bill. It’s because she didn’t.
And yet, here’s what her Deputy Communications Director tweeted our this morning:
Wouldn’t be the first time Kamala has taken credit for work that largely belongs to others. But hey, since she spends so much time blaming her staff for her own failures, let’s blame this one on ol’ Herbie, shall we?
First Vegetable Joe Biden is really on a roll.
The Even Bigger Fucking Moron claims @ 47 that I don’t care about “the poor”.
Meanwhile, First Vegetable Joe Biden is restarting student loan payments after failing to cancel student loan debt, while planning to give an $87 billion annual tax cut to wealthy Americans by repealing the SALT limitation in the BBB legislation.
Now, back to me being uncaring about the poor.
This disgraced POS is getting only part of what he deserves.

GOP-Trump Rally Rioter, Cleveland Meredith of Georgia is sentenced today to 28 months after pleading guilty to transmitting a threat in interstate commerce after he sent texts threatening the lives of Speaker Pelosi and DC Mayor Bowser. Meredith was apprehended after he carried thousands of rounds of armor piercing ammunition and a collection of firearms to the “tourist” event with the avowed intent to “burn DC to the ground”.
The judge issued a downward departure in part due to Meredith’s full cooperation with the FBI and DOJ, his behavior as a model prisoner cooperating with BOP pretrial services and assistance in gaining the cooperation of other Jan 6th domestic terrorists. The judge however appeared largely unmoved by Meredith’s expressions of regret which included “I don’t want anything to do with politics again”.
That last bit is actually a big problem for Bob, Kevin McCarthy, and Every Other Republican You Know.
They depend upon these violent extremists with ammo cans and pipe bombs. They all go hand in glove.

“Conservative” vaccine deniers and public health terrorists stalked the President of the California Medical Board, surrounded her home, followed her and her family to work and school, and cornered and threatened her in a dark corner of an underground parking garage.
Far from an isolated incident, episodes of this kind of political stalking and threat to public servants are now a daily occurrence in America. And as bad as this is, and as costly as this is, it will absolutely get worse if Democrats don’t turnout and vote. This is just one part of a much larger Republican effort to attack and undermine the institutions of democracy in America. Given the power and the opportunity nobody will be safe from them.

The ranking Republican on the House Budget Committee now says that in 2023, when Republicans gain control of the House and he becomes the new Chair of the committee, he intends to default on the U.S. debt as a way of forcing a crisis to gain leverage and to inflict political pain on the President.
If nothing else, that ought to give Bob enough of a drop in the indexes to enjoy his long awaited naked end-zone dance.
He might even earn enough money to afford a free library card so he can read the Times.

@42 “The NYT piece is paywalled. ”
I thought that wasn’t a problem for you. So you’re a freeloader like me? Not doing well in the market now? Or maybe you only pay to support Murdoch journalism.
(True, paying for a regular NYT subscription with his investment income would tie up $221,000 of capital, so it’s sort of understandable that he can only pay for Barrons, and depends on Elijah to read the NYT for him.)
@44 BBB is social spending, and there’s no social spending Republicans are ever for, under any conditions, and we all know that. So you can quit pretending you’re against BBB because it causes inflation. We know why you’re against it. Plus, a spending bill that hasn’t even passed yet can’t possibly be causing inflation; and you talking like it’ll never pass makes your inflation argument sound even more ridiculous.
@48 “I have been, some may say, unkind to the Vice President … she deserves it.”
Then you should have no difficulty understanding why we’re unkind to you.
@51 I thought you guys were for collecting every last cent of student debt, giving no forbearance, and cutting taxes for the rich. So why are you complaining?

@55 Yeah, I was gonna say, didn’t they want to prosecute Hillary for doing 1/10th of that? And free of treasonous intent?
@56 I addressed that here.
@61 “If nothing else, that ought to give Bob enough of a drop in the indexes to enjoy his long awaited naked end-zone dance.”
My stocks were up today. For example, the Johnson & Johnson shares which I purchased for $159.89 on Nov. 26 closed today at $170.29 after gaining another 1.1% today. That’s 11 times as much in one day as his cash earns in a year, excluding dividends. No wonder he can’t afford a NYT subscription. I’ll bet he can’t read it in the library either because they won’t let him in until he pays his fines.
ESLT, which I bought for $36.59 in Dec. 2011, bounced up 7.7% today to $172.33. I paid $85.17 for LMT in March 2010 and $34.22 for ABT in Oct. 2013, and Bob can look up what they’re worth now. I bought Boeing for $129.51 in Sept. 2014 and sold it for $341.22 in Nov. 2019 and Jan. 2020. My best one is Starbucks, which I’ve owned for 25 years; I paid $1.10 a share for it, and the dividends are now $1.96 a year. Yeah, I’ll let him think I’m a shitty investor, because I don’t care what he thinks. This info is for everyone else. I have a broker, but do my own stockpicking. My broker is always interested in what I’m doing. I’m not his largest client account by any means, but several times his average account.
We can make fun of Bob’s investing, but at least he had enough conscience to quit working and live off options trades and money market interest instead of killing more patients.

Heh. They have no debt.. Both of them have savings… retirement accounts even.
