  1. Well, there is good and bad news here. The good news? He’s not a mad king intent on burning it all to the ground. Appeals can be made for relief. I am sure there will be theatrics, shakedowns and more “great times to invest!”, but no intentional driving the bus off the cliff. Which is not to say there is not more bad than good that will come about with his antagonistic economic policies. The world will play ball with the U.S., its dollar and markets (because it has to) while striving to disconnect from them (because that’s in their strategic interest). No one knows what will be the outcome of that. The bad news?
  2. Well, I certainly hope you are correct, but that’s a bit light on how things have materially normalized to something close to what they were before liberation day. I’m looking for indicators vs faith.
  3. I’m open to trusting. What are we basing it on? Legitimate question for people feeling bullish that the worst has past.
  4. Surviving in a post-democratic republic?
  5. Pretty much agree with everything you wrote.
  6. It’s a Faustian art of the deal.
  7. Bad Influence was worth the watch, even if somewhat predictably infuriating.
  8. Making America Great, one estranged trading partner at a time... https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/eu-china-start-talks-lifting-eu-tariffs-chinese-electric-vehicles-handelsblatt-2025-04-10/
  9. Wallybangers on Mesa is a better DQ than any DQ ever was. Fight me.
  10. We should coordinate, so I can post this at closing those days.
  11. We are going to do it again in 86 days when people have gotten un-yippy, aren’t we?
  12. That is why banjos and toilet seats shouldn't get married.
  13. The faucets of Fentanyl to the north were turned off. CRISIS MANAGED.
  14. Yeah, I'm not a Trump fan, so I am admittedly biased, but this whole episode really turns me off of the market. I mean, dude's can just declare prima nocta on my investments again whenever the mood strikes. There is no way to make a calculated risk in this environment where he'll just do whatever the fuck he wants with the world economy whenever someone puts a bug in his ear. If I was the rest of the world, I'd be strategizing how we remove the US from the position where that can happen. I guess the calculated risk is to short everything like horn4life or sit the fuck out until he's gone.
  15. LOL, goddam, we're going to do this again in 90 days, aren't we?
  16. So does this mean we can use Chimpanzees to bring back Sharon Tate?
  17. We're fucked. Comet Hale-Bopp is not expected to return to the inner solar system until around 4385.
  18. Paging @South Austin. @South Austin to the white courtesy phone, please.
  19. You know who isn't affected by the Trump economy? The Amish. They are the real winners here. Does anyone know if they are accepting new members? Does it come with benefits like periodic rumspringas?
  20. Jim Bakker buckets for the rest of the apocalypse? Fuck that, I'm a carnivore.
  21. AlonzoMourning.gif
  22. Can I walk out of the theater? This Red Dawn reboot sucks.
  23. I wouldn’t focus on the way they’ve calculated it. I would focus on — the President is quite high.
  24. Holy shit, it’s like Department of BBS Efficiency showed up and started shutting down threads, lol 😜
  25. Exactly, what the Harris/Trump debate showed very clearly was that you could bait or otherwise manipulate Trump into anything. It’s the people advising Trump and handing him executive orders to sign that you need to be worried about.
