  1. Two points: 1). Your referencing Trump's success, but the companies and industries you've cited aren't actually tied to Trump finanically. They're tied to musk (tesla) and they're tied to an industry that, inarguably, has made a lot fo people a lot of money. Look at Tesla stock the last 10 years. 2.) Trump just fomented an insurrection, after the most disastorous presidency in History, barely lost an election, and then won an election which effectively kept him out of prison. He's made billions on a fucking fake social media company, and he let an oligarch buy him a presdiency for a quarter billion dollars. He's now raking in the money, immune from prosecution, and remaking America in disastrous ways. I'd say things are going more than halfway decent for him right now. Your missing a key point in your comparison: Things Trump Touches Turn To Shit. But not for Trump. Just for everyone around him, and this case, that's just America.
  2. There's no way this is true, but god I hope it's true. Pair Smith with fucking Marcel Reed, and bring a bunch of media attention to A&M, and then just watch the lockerroom implode off the field, and the team implode on the field. Plus their boosters are out what would be a third to half of a very healthy NIL budget.
  3. This is my personal opionion. That is an inevitability, for at least a chunk, maybe most, of people donating. Many will donate less if they can't deduct it from their taxes. My hope is that the fall off isn't as huge as one might fear, becuase now that the concept has been proven and results have been given, and the fucking idiots have stopped viewing this as distasteful (to a certain degree), the high from having a resurgent program will keep a lot of donators donating. This is also my general hope if the NCAA were ever to get invovled, collective bargaining to become a reality, etc. Texas alumns, finally, have a stark illustratoin of what the SEC was up to in regards to paying players before NIL. We can't shove ourselves back in the locker if the lanscape changes again and yield to the bag hags.
  4. I mean, thanks to manipulation, all kinds of rule breaking, and now musk's access to government money while he controls Tesla, those investments have made lots of people rich. You don't think Dogecoin is on the way up?
  5. I’m freaked at about my long term financials as well, so this hits close to home. Your mother in law can get all the way fucked, though.
  6. August Landmesser (German: [ˈaʊ̯ɡʊst ˈlantˌmɛsɐ]; 24 May 1910 – 17 October 1944) is suggested to be the man appearing in a 1936 photograph conspicuously refusing to perform the Nazi salute.[2][3] Landmesser had run afoul of the Nazi Party over his unlawful relationship with Irma Eckler, a Jewish woman. For this, he was imprisoned and eventually drafted into penal military service, where he was killed in action.[citation needed] Is this what the other side is counting on? That people won't fight becuase they know they're going to die, or be hurt, and that's not what Americans are about these days. Did your pastor mentioned what happened to August in his sermon?
  7. I'm guessing this is fake, considering the date and timestamp at the bottom is from a month from now.
  8. So..you’re ashamed? I mean, since you could do what some peasant eagles fan would do, but won’t. Doesn’t that make you lower than Eagles fans?
  9. Pronouns in her signature? She's fucking fired.
  10. Listen, asshole, you can't get this kind of prescient Oline insight without spending a lot of time talking to former Oline players from the 80's. You cant just look up some wide published rankings and, do some math.
  11. Scientology seems like your jam, sir. Yeah, I'm not sure joining a synagogue roster with anti-semitism on the rise is the best idea. I'd go with Mormon or Scientology or Methodist. The first two, folks will think you're a weirdo and leave you alone...maybe. And pretty sure Methodists are used to people not showing up, so...
  12. Every president since Calvin Coolidge has added to the national debt. Donald Trump added 4 trillion to the debt in 2 years (before Covid). 8 Total, which matches really excessive spending that took Obama 8 years to achieve. Joe Biden actually added to the debt at a much smaller percentage than most previous presidents in the last 60+ years. Here's some numbers with my notations for extremely itneresting numbers, both in debt percetnage and time it took to uncork them. Source: https://www.self.inc/info/us-debt-by-president/ Gotta tell you, it sure seems like MOST of those egregious numbers were...put there by Republicans? So why do you say it's the "leftists?" Look at Joe Biden, clocking in at a percentage well below Trump, HW, GW, Reagan (holy forkballs), Jimmy Carter... And damn, lets take a moment to marvel at the...<checks notes> DEMOCRATIC fiscal responsibility from JFK and LBJ (even as they fought a war in Vietnam!). So again, why do you blame the Left for this? Also, please, why hasn't the right passed a balanced budget amendment when they had the ability to during Reagan, or Trump, or any other time, if it's so important?
  13. EDit: Damnit, wrong fucking thread. Bisexuals will vaccinate my freedoms!!! I mean, can I watch?
  14. This guy will be fine. He'll just start an evangelical "church" and the Southern Baptist Convention will welcome him with open arms and all their money and some kids to rape.
  15. A someone remind me, was their best class ever not NIL, and most illegal bag bullshit? These idiots can’t even lie to themselves consistently.
  16. Nono, that's the part I agree with you about. Shit has to get bad, real bad, for there to be change. We're in total agreement. The part I'm disagreeing with is what comes after. Whatever solution we have to living wage, fixing our problems, etc, will be done in a half ass way so that these problems rear their heads again and never quite go away for the forseeable future. Just like the way the North let the South erect statures, reject education materials in schools about the Civil War, etc. Americans doesn't do long term shame, basically, is what I'm saying. You thought we solved racism and were trending in the right direction with the abolition of slaves, the civil rights act, etc. And now 60 or so years after that, we're seeing the same shit pop it's head up in DEI. BLACK PEOPLE DID THIS BECAUSE IT CAN'T BE MY FAULT. Same thing with women. "Oh, now that women can have careers of their own or choose to be with women, they don't have to settle for any POS man? Well, that's not acceptable because I want to get laid and be the boss. Better outlaw all that shit and get women back in the kitchen...maybe the classroom."
  17. Lol. Im with you but good luck. That's not how selfish America works. Reconstruction out back after the civil war should have told ya.
  18. Man this post was underrated. So close to understanding their reality, it their literal DNA makes it impossible. It’s scary. yea, Aggie. It’s Tom Hart ignoring the truth.
  19. There’s still another level of pain to come for them. Wait until Oregon discovers they can recruit GA kids and there’s a five star player they really want.
  20. We already know we’re fucked. All we have is the schadenfreude. So yeah I’m gonna laugh, even as I start growing my own garden.
  21. That pic might be 20 years old. But it's still not that far off.
  22. I mean, see Fooster's post above. My portfolio is literally all blue chip stocks and various conservative funds. I didn't find some super rare vein of shit, my financial advisor has been directed to keep me in conservative funds that are heavy in dividend stocks, utilities, household goods and the military industrial complex. But I mean, I have 4 years of returns at about 20% each year, and you've got almost 3 months of data, basicaly the same thing. Did you have all of your portfolio invested in private prisons, becuase that would make sense.
  23. Weird, my portfolio was up 20% year over year for pretty much all of Biden's term. I'm certainly worried about my retirement ability right now though, becuase if someone keeps fucking with our greatest allies and is too unpredectable and tanks the economy becuase they're an idiot, they'll fuck our status as the nation's reserve currency and then everyone's money will be worth substantially less. Probably like Germany post WWI bad.
