    Trump's used Air Force One, at taxpayer expense, to travel from West Palm Beach to Miami—a drive of just over an hour—for a UFC event.

    About 1 millionth on the list of shitty things he has done

    I am close to several in our collective. Nico is a good kid. It’s his dad that’s the problem. As of this morning I thought this would be his last year but now I can almost guarantee he is gone.

    Dude is 20 and will be 21 at the start of the next season.  If it's his dad who is the issue it's time for Nico to grow up, be a man and tell his meddling dad to go fuck himself.

    Its different being the world police than it is being the instigator on some bullshit. If things go hot somewhere I think it pushes public opinion further down and he potentially loses control of the military command if the orders are unlawful in that they cause massive civilian casualties etc. 

    If we did some Russia in Ukraine shit, we would have massive general strikes and a complete social revolution. There is no way people would just be cool with it. 

    I disagree with none of this, and also don't think that he gives a damn what people are cool with when it comes to decision-making.

    I don't know that there's a way for him to manage both the international relations loss and the domestic opinion hit based on how bad everything has gotten with the economy on this completely self inflicted gun shot wound to the dick. 

    Wag the dog and start a shooting war somewhere....

    If you fall below 8 players you have to forfeit. A team did that last weekend in 13u and ended up with a better seed (didn't play the no1 seed that smoked everyone). They ended up with a 3pm game over our 8am that we got for actually playing. They took their 0-7 scored forfeit and we lost giving up 9 runs at 11pm while they were sleeping at home. Those 2 runs cost us a late game. Just a stupid stupid setup.

    Yea that was always an in game rule back in the day (say in the 2nd inning two fielders take each other out and you are down to 7) but if you just outright walked on a game....that was that.  At your age it may be about sleep, when they get a bit older it gets to be about pitching.

    Well, new weekend, same story. Playing at 4:15 and 8:20 with 9 year olds. We may just start forfeiting the second game on Saturday to save energy for Sundays. Everyone knows we ain't starting at 8:20. Stupid shit.

    I don't know how it is now but back when my son was younger up in DFW most of those tournaments had rules against forfeiting games, ie you do that and your tournament is over.

    Spot on here. They're barely tweaking a modern wolf genome, which is already about as closely related to a dire wolf as I am to an orangutan. Coyotes are dramatically closer to a wolf than a dire wolf is. (For those that find this odd, just realize that dire wolves are called dire wolves because the first time we found their bones, they "looked" like large, off wolves, but as @Pods pointed out, the DNA evidence has now shown they're actually much more distantly related.)

    This research is interesting in some respects, but it is not even 10% of what the headlines are making it out to be.

    So this story is the torpedo bats (which have been around for a long time) of this week?

    Some of the biggest market perma-bulls I follow are completely off the trump train the last 6 days. Dan Ives with Wedbush is the biggest tech/AI believer you will ever meet and he is downgrading all of his calls. He’s been long TSLA forever and cut his projection wildly this week.  Tom Lee with fundstrat is a huge “AI is the 4th Industrial Revolution” guy and his firm put this out tonight:


     

    The guy who verbally diarrheaed all over the place about sharks and batteries insane????  The hell you say.

    And another thing, right now everyone else is rooting for China to kick our ass.  The Canadians, the Mexicans, the British, the sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, dickheads, Greenland, the penguins on that tiny island ... they all want to see China stand up to us.

    And if they do and succeed that is how the leadership of the world will pass from the US to China.

    Ok. So who do we lay off first? Warehouse guys? Customer service reps? IT people? You know the execs aren't going to give  up their pay. Not even saying anything about the shareholders.

    Compliance and Risk folks.  Do you even MAGA bro?

    I was in a trading group a few years ago that included a small fund manager. A group of traders got massively underwater on a penny stock so they banded together to generate a fake article regarding the company being bought out. They played it off to the trading group as if it were real, merely sharing the tweet from some "news site". 

    Funny thing, there was an error in the article. Let's just say the decimal was in the wrong place and not in their favor... Someone called it out in the group and many of us laughed about how shitty the company was to release the article in an attempt to pump the stock, with such an egregious error that created the exact opposite effect. A member of our group got very offended and unintentionally tipped their hand that they were the author... I left the group, they were reported to the SEC, but nothing happened.

    Lots of shady shit goes on in the trading world, price targets, buy recommendations, sell recommendations, articles to create hype and fear. Only those who truly fuck the whales get in trouble. Trust nothing.
