  1. He has no strategy. He is a complete fucking buffoon that is also unfortunately dumb as fuck, and that didnt change over night. Its not like leaders of the world leaders are all now oohing and ahhing about his shrewd negotiating tactics as he flings his diaper shit all over the place. Nobody views him as an ally (maybe Bibi) and nobody will trust him. Simply put 125% tariffs on China will destroy our economy, is not sustainable, and everyone knows that. Nobody gives a fuck that we wont be taxing penguins more than 10% for the next 90 days.
  2. I guess we no longer care about the lbs of Fentanyl streaming across the canadian border every year. Think about our children Donnie.
  3. Lulz, what a complete fucking idiot. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Its like a 4 year old pretending to be an adult.
  4. Ah cool, will buy more puts. China is the one that counts.
  5. When god gives you termites......
  6. Lulz, like Trump gives a fuck about some law saying he cant throw Powell in jail for national security reasons.
  7. Lulz, you can tell that by some insta photos? My guess is that Cook is the same fucking idiot who got booted from two college teams and went to jail twice in February alone. If he can stay out of jail for the next couple of years, it may be evidence he isnt a fuckup. I wouldn't take that bet.
  8. Are you stuck in the 1980's? Beard showed up and there was zero talent left on the roster. At the beginning of his second season before he fucked up, he had a top 5 squad that notched wins over #2 and #7 in the first few weeks of the season. Even a mediocre coach like RT almost got that squad to the final four. Texas has money and the recruiting portal is a thing now. No reason for any rebuild to be a long term project in college sports today, especially hoops.
  9. Fucking legit lulz that anything takes precedence over Trumps idiocy or ego. If treasury market function and stability truly takes precedence over everything as you state, we would not have headed down this path.
  10. I'm not sure how anyone can categorically say this unless they have personally crawled through the software stack line by line. How do you know there isn't some line of code that creates a dependency on periodically checking in with a central code repository? Would it stupid as fuck, yes. Is the cybertruck stupid as fuck? Also yes.
  11. now, put on one of them ill beats for me..... Also they are starting to fill up jizz jars at a furious pace over there envisioning their future with Bucky https://texags.com/forums/7/topics/3537283
  12. Repo men. Driving the economy into a recession or worse seems like a suboptimal way to address a problem 40 years in the making. It doesnt get fixed in 6 months, or anything close to it.
  13. During his first term, Trump also could have had used his corporate tax cuts to incentivize american companies to move their manufacturing back to US. If you already manufactured 100% in the US, you got the full tax break. If you manufactured completely overseas, you didn't get shit, and wouldn't get shit until you were moving operations back to the US. I don't know how much of a motivator it would have been, but it would have to be better than just giving that money away with no obligations and letting them continue to manufacture shit in China. But he's a fucking moron, so he didn't take the obvious layup with an America-first justification for his tax cuts.
  14. No idea, but it seems like a major pain in the ass to have to undergo that process multiple times over the years. Must be a profitable place to put up with all that bullshit.
  15. Judges would have also accepted "shart in the pool"
  16. Listen to this goober's laugh (00:25 & 00:50). This guy has embraced his inner Clem, I'll give him that https://x.com/aggiembk/status/1909390921013035270?
  17. I'm not sure Ive ever seen this approach taken during floods. Flood the restaurant with clean water to keep the muddy water out? Seems like plenty of failure points with all that glass, but I guess it works. https://www.wave3.com/2025/04/07/prospect-restaurant-floods-itself-protect-building/
  18. Revenue seems to be the issue. They have the dilution part down.
  19. Next up........Gary's Olde Towne Tavern
  20. I stopped watching after a couple of minutes of that highlight video, but I dont think I saw him take a single shot outside of the restricted area and most were dunks. Fuck it, if you're 7' you can make a living doing that.
  21. What's the worst thing that can happen giving a 15 year contract to a 26 year old dude that is ~6'0 and already weighs 250 lbs.
  22. The dude seems a little slow, so they certainly nailed the "he gets A&M" aspect. A real livewire this one.
  23. Ive been short via puts for weeks now. So right now I have about 15-20 put positions on individual stocks, and a handful of index contracts that are all mostly deep ITM, although they weren't when I bought them. Here's the next bunch of SPY I will sell. I'll try bank at least 60-70% of the profits and just buy more at lower prices. Not sure what my May OTM strikes will be other than some May $515 I already own. Volatility has spiked so high of late that the premiums change the risk/reward outlook considerably. At some point I will have to switch to selling puts on stocks I have wanted to buy, but refused to because of the mad valuations. A lot of trash companies will fail, but a lot of promising companies will hopefully be available at some semi-reasonable valuations. But the problem with a complete idiot in charge is you never know how much damage he is capable of. I had S&P ~4500 as my target level to reach, but as the buffoonery increases I am reconsidering and may just hold off a bit longer. Trying to predict anything under the current admin is useless, and we all know how the market digs uncertainty.
