Yeah, he fucked up some prime water reserves at one of the dams near my hometown, SOB.

Good. They should eliminate it altogether. Along with public transportation, postal service and all libraries.

I go back and forth on this. At times I’m like fuck, give his voters everything they wanted and watch em rot. But there’s a hell of a lot of people even in dark red states that didn’t vote for him and will suffer a ton, I feel for them.

I do too. But I want them to get off their butts and protest for real

I wonder what Trump promised Davidson

Things have been red ever since Jabba was installed a month ago. Holding the line, but I’m tempted to claim the year+ of green and take a time out. Dunno. Just don’t like what I’m seeing.

SPY went back to back years with +20% gains...so this year was always going to be complicated.

If anything, the market is underestimating Jabba's intent on breaking things

Yah, for sure. Not one to bail, but that was when I was younger and had seemingly infinite runway. Fast forward, the runway gets a little shorter, jabba flinging shit non stop and the adults in the bond market are pricing it in. Just gives me pause for once.

Maybe it was a threat.

Watch closely at the 16 second mark.

Wow. Just. . .wow.

This is like the movie Idiocracy, except the characters in the movie make a movie about the stupidest administration that they could imagine, and called that the Idiocracy.
