  1. I sold half of my small amount of shares of UUUU for a 130% gain. The rest of the shares are free for me. This is a rare win for me.
  2. i finally ran across ICE today. Today, to keep us all safe, about 50 uniformed DC Police officers and I don't know how many agents with other agencies (the kind where it is ok to wear masks) set up a traffic checkpoint, during rush hour, on North Capitol Street northbound. You know, so any dangerous illegals coming down into DC to work, get checked out fully before going home to Silver Spring I guess.. Anyway, they cut traffic down from three lanes to one and as I was walking my dog around there was media, protestors, and people alerting the backed up traffic that there was an ICE stop ahead. It was, by far, the most officers I've ever seen in that area. It was also a huge waste of taxpayer dollars, taxpayer time in the form of sitting in traffic, and pretty much general stupidity on the part of everyone planning an ineffective spectacle. Lucky for me, I didn't drive to the office today and didn't have to sit in that mess in order to get home.
  3. I believe this goes here. John Bolton, feel the leopard. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/fbi-raids-former-national-security-adviser-john-boltons-home-probe-fin-rcna226503
  4. I was driving to work today and as I was crossing North Capitol there was a black man, without a helmet, riding an ATV. He popped a wheelie through the intersection and continued down North Capitol southbound toward the Capitol. Normally, that shit pisses me off because it puts pedestrians, cars, and bicycles in danger but not today. The level of 'I don't give a fuck' required by that man with all of the guardsmen, ICE, extra cops, etc, was off the charts. Today, that man was my hero. I wish I could have armed him with sandwich.
  5. What data are you using to determine if this is a good thing for DC? Have you seen polling of DC residents to ask what they think? Crime is actually at a 30 year low here, is that the data you are using to determine this was warranted? Have you seen the news that restaurant reservations are down 30% since Trump announced this? Do you think the small business owners are on board? The Washington Post yesterday posted a map of where the extra help has been stationed. Damn near none of it has been in a high crime area in the city. I cross the city daily and I somehow haven't seen or ran into them yet but I have seen video of them nearby so I'm confident they are here. This "great start" appears to me to be a show business stunt set up by TV game show host so far.
  6. Sorry to interrupt Trump giving someone else's country to his idol Putin, but he's also busy fucking over this country. This video enrages me. There is another clip of this video somewhere and a Washington Post guy was asking questions while the masked thugs wouldn't answer questions about who they were with. RDT_20250817_222606.mp4
  7. Let's go ahead and skip ahead so we can get to the end game faster. I'd like for Newsome arrest the officers for the arrest and throw their ass in jail so we can get to the shotting sooner. This is where it's going so we may as well get on with it
  8. What a fucking pussy I know not to expect much from Oklahoma, but holy fuck!
  9. 22 year District resident checking in. I am very curious what he's going to do with the homeless. There are a lot of them and there always have been, especially if you know where to look. If he moves them somewhere, my guess is a tent city somewhere in Manassas, perhaps one of the old battlefields. For the record, crime is much, much lower that when I moved here. There was a spike in the last couple of years with some carjackings and some other bullshit, but for the most part, this a much safer city than it was when I moved here in 2003 and my opinion is this is a big power grab. I guess we will see what happens.
  10. You mean to tell me he sent a strongly worded note?
  11. It's a lot like watching aggy and Arkansas play each other
