    How much do billionaires have?

    Trump just talked about $1776 payments to about 1.4 million military members.  That's about $2.5 billion dollars.

    Trump's own net worth went up by about $4 billion when he was given stock in Truth Social, although the stock has gone down since then.  He didn't work for that money, it was a stock grant.  Stack cryptocurrencies and a free airplane on top of that and the pile just gets bigger.

    Which is pennies compared to Elon, who is worth about $648 billion.  Elon could give $1776 to each military person, each month, for a year, and it would cost him less than 5% of his net worth.

     

    Siap but surprise, it's just another bullshit grift. https://www.defenseone.com/policy/2025/12/trump-rebrands-congressionally-approved-troop-housing-subsidy-warrior-dividend-bonus/410250/

    They moved a non taxable subsidy into a taxable bonus.

    How did this Soros thing ever get started? Since I’ve started paying attention to politics I’ve always heard it. How does it still work? 

    I think it was a reflexive response to when the Koch big money was a topic.  Plus, the favorite trope of Jewish overlords.

    Why? I heard someone at the game bragging about not hearing a bunch of extraneous bullshit and commercials. I agree with that.
     

    Texas-OU is about this game, and it’s nice that it’s not over done. 

    Mostly agree, but I kind of like to hear the announcer and refs to understand some of the details of the game. Agreed on not giving a shit about the commercials and other extra stuff.

    Why would you expect that, we can't get it at dkr either?  Stadium ops people seem oblivious to the fact that people that come to a college football game are college football fans.

    Well at least at DKR, we can get a cell signal with the added cell infrastructure they added. I did not get any cell signal at all at, or around the stadium with all the added people. 

  6. Somehow with all the improvements,  it felt like a step backwards.  Can we not get a screen showing scores of other games? Maybe decent sound system to hear the announcers/refs? And fuck,  it is painful to maneuver that stadium.

    Engravings on the casings said "Hey facist, catch " "Oh Bella Cao" "If you read this, you are gay, lol"

    For others who dont know what "Bella Ciao" is:

    "Bella Ciao" is an Italian folk song about sacrifice, freedom, and resistance. Its meaning evolved from an anthem for World War II Italian anti-fascist partisans, who sang it while fighting invaders, to a universal symbol of defiance against injustice, oppression, and authoritarianism, as seen in protests and the show Money Heist. The song's lyrics describe a partisan's farewell to a loved one before potentially dying in battle, with a flower serving as a symbol of their sacrifice for freedom.
