  1. The Don Lemon firing definitely points out how thin skinned Elon is. He obviously saw Lemon as a potential to reach out to new audiences. Actually a good idea to pay well known, left commentators to produce shows for X. Elon must have wanted to be the first interview but then fires Lemon hours after being interviewed. If you don't want a true independent interview that might have tough questions, don't agree to an interview.
  2. Overall Dems seem to win the early vote. The GOP is now about picking the people who will be allowed to vote. It's not easy to flat out stop Dems from voting, so its going to be about making it difficult for them to vote in the manner they prefer to vote.
  3. The man was preoccupied with Infrastructure Week. Why can't you understand that!
  4. Is a bitcoin worth $0.01 or $100K? It's worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. And today people are willing to pay $70K for one, mainly on the hope that someone will want to pay $80K for it tomorrow. Or whatever amount or timeframe. The person selling it thinks the other. There are plenty of financial products that also rely on the greater fool theory. As for bitcoin supporting crime or terrorism activities. Yes, it 100% can be used for that. You know what also supports criminal activities: phones, internet, social media, mail, $100 bills, bank transfers, etc. I know it's tough for the govt. to prevent crime but it's also not innocent people's responsibility to suppress their freedoms to make the govt's job easier.
  5. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/energy/article/us-oil-record-2023-permian-shale-boom-18933093.php If Biden and his dementia are leading our economy, keep the dementia coming. And the Permian area of Texas will vote heavily for Trump. I guess they feel that Biden is holding them back.
  6. The Trump campaign and the RNC will only care about causing so much chaos that it gives enough Rs in Congress cover to declare the 2024 election uncertifiable. Then Mike Johnson gives the WH to Trump. honesty this is 1 of 2 options in how a dictator takes over a democracy.
  7. meh. There's no perfect system. It's the earth's fault for tilting.
  8. I wasn't far off with my prediction by Mar. 8th. As of close Friday, IBIT reports owning 0.997% of all bitcoins. Of course, they still trail GBTC but quickly GBTC is selling bitcoins quickly as investors leave that ETF. note: Let's keep presidential politics out of this.
  9. I picked a bad day to quit drinking coffee. <insert Airplane pic>
  10. What does E Jean Carroll going to receive in the next trial since Trump has defamed her again?
  11. Felt like lifetime of not being able to break 70/4 and I wake up to 71 and 4. as Americans are groggily waking up today after the time change, I predict it could pop up to 75 (only a 4.6% gain from now) today before settling closer to 71. Should be a good day for the ETFs and micro strategy stock.
  12. Boss man should have put his foot down years ago but I guess he has some combination of liking this guy or feeling sorry for him. If the employee is smoking pot on the job, that’s not a difficult conversation to tell him to cut it out. Of course I’ve known more than one person to call a vape pen a weed pen, so maybe the boss is just incorrectly describing it.
  13. The trafficked woman in Katie Britt’s story after the SOTU has spoken out today against politicians using her story for their own good. Link Fairly amazing that someone on TikTok tracked down the likely situation where Britt met this woman, and then journalists were able to force Britt into admitting the timeline and now Britt may have to apologize. or at least it will be a GQP apology. In a high pitched whisper, Britt will say that she didn’t disingenuously use this story and that she hopes the woman is doing ok today. Then she will say something negative about Biden’s failures on the border.
  14. IMO tomorrow is worse because of work. I will wake up early as usual but actually will be running late.
  15. Yeah. It’s very unlikely that a person and their team is going to spend a couple of year winning their first election to not run a second time. There can be circumstances that prevent someone from running but it’s rare. Not that they’re recent but I believe Truman and LBJ were the only 2 presidents that could have run again. I assume Truman was done after serving close to 2 terms, and LBJ was 5 years with an extremely unpopular war with his party. It’s probably not a coincidence that both of them were VPs of Presidents who died.
  16. Wouldn’t surprise me if the ufc pays trump to be there. This explains why Trump posted that his folks should give Bud Light a chance again, after the UFC signed a big deal with Bud Light.
  17. For people that believe Lindell, how many of them fall from that belief when he makes this statement every few months? 1%? Less than that?
  18. I find sports fairly unviewable these days anyway. Except for Longhorns football games, I’m cool with only turning on games in the last 15 minutes. edit: but to the OP’s question, I find the attention on sports gambling during games and pregames to be distracting. It’s also adds to the hypocrisy of sports. Which I don’t care except many sports announcers refuse to acknowledge it.
  19. There is a 0% chance that the n word is not spoken at that table. The woman is probably polite enough to whisper or even mouth the word, at least until the third drink hits. i wonder if the Fox News now has a safe word that then the producers say to the reporters to abandon a live interview. In case the reporter is not realizing the danger.
  20. GOP Mad Libs game. name an industry: ___________________ name a horrible situation : ________________ In the spirit of smaller govt and because their lobbyists demanded it, the GOP deregulated <industry> which led to <situation>.
  21. I’m sure the GOP will add protection if you accidentally murder an American who isn’t white. That’s not the murderers fault, it’s Biden’s fault.
  22. I don’t see a problem with the NC GOP putting up crazier and crazier candidates. Might actually flip the state.
  23. I'm surprised that Trump didn't deliver the GOP response to the SOTU last night. I know it's the standard that a member of Congress deliver it, but what does that matter. And I don't believe for a second that the networks or cable channels wouldn't have carried Trump's response. Big miss by Trump to let someone else go after Biden. If I was Biden, I would call out Trump in being afraid to take policy for 5 minutes. As well as telling Trump he made a mistake. Trump will take the bait.
  24. I've never been better than today. I recognize that there are many who are not doing well. These range from the people in their 20s (who truthfully never do well as a group) and those who have limited financial options, who also always struggle as a group. Finally there are those who intentionally sabotage their own finances due to political beliefs. I guarantee that are a few in DT and the football forum who moved all of their retirement money to cash on Jan 21 2021. And then subsequently missed out on major gains.
  25. Major ceilings at 70K/4K for BTC and ETH. 70K was briefly passed (new all time high) before the entire market fell down a couple of hours ago. Looks to be rebuilding steam. Makes me think that if these two resistance amounts are surpassed, we could see a major bump upwards. Of course I'm reading into the data what I want to see.
