It is just wild that the White House put so much effort into trying to get these 4 Republicans to vote against releasing the files. Im almost shocked at how badly Trump doesn't want it released.

Dude, for the thousandth time, it's a big nothing. Trump is playing you

1. Not sure that's true

2. Trump is one of the few politicians that could survive something like this (if true)

"Yea so the guy said he had some hot chicks at his island that were easy. And you know me I like hot and easy girls so I went down there"

Only Trump and Berlusconi in Italy could be that honest and have the electorate accept it easily

Those guys are unique….

"As always, I work without interruption and if occasionally I happen to look a beautiful girl in the face, it's better to like beautiful girls than to be gay," - Berlusconi

"I'm 74 years old and, even though I may be a bit of a rascal, 33 girls in two months seems to me too much even for a 30-year-old." -Berlusconi

If what's in here is true, Crooks had 5 phones, with one of the phones traveling back and forth to FBI headquarters before the shooting, that points to an inside job. Biden Harris FBI.

We'll see what happens on the weekly close on Sunday. The chart looks like a double bottom and we could be in a bear trap OR we are in the beginning of the bear market. This Sunday should tell us what we need to know. The timing of the 4 year cycle historically would indicate that we are at or near the end but we could have til the end of the year and a blowoff top before we dump back down.

I didnt sell any BTC. I told my self if it got anywhere near 150k i would sell but so far it hasnt. If we go back down I imagine the bottom would be around 69-70k for the bear market low. Things are weird this time bc there are many institutions involved so the volatility may not be as extreme but we will see. I did sell a few crypto related stocks a coule weeks ago to get some profits locked in and I sold 1 ethereum at 4500 but thats it so far.

Here we go, going to with with some podunk country. All of you who said Trump wouod never get us into wars were wrong.

Reminds me of those reports that Trump wanted to invade Iran in his first term, but had enough adults in the room that he was talked out of it.

Trump is really shooting himself in the foot left and right lately. We dont need or want H1b indians or other foreigners to replace our own people in the workforce.

This is a complete lie. Integrated fabrication plants that incorporate specialty robotics are built as a complete facility. In other words, the entire building is a production entity. Koreans weren't brought in to do framing and drywall you moron. They were blue printing a complex factory type Hyundai was using elsewhere but never in the U.S. so we could learn and maybe do it ourselves on the additional facility they were but now only "might" fulfill in 2027.

Someone smart has gotten to Trump because many investment projects from Asia (Korea and Japan specifically) have been paused or canceled for the time being.

I dont know if you're talking to me but I dont even have a problem with Hyundail brining in Koreans to outfit their factory in Savannah. My beef is with the endless amounts of Indians coming here that are just being used as cheap replacment labor for Americans. Regardless, Trump is not coming across as very optical to his base in this interview and if you cant see that then you are the moron. Trump in 2016 was saying we can build it here we're gonna bring back jobs and factories and make things again. In 2025 he's saying we cant do it here we dont have the talent so lets bring in millions of foreign workers.
I was targeting the X poster. But regardless of political optics, Trump is correct about the labor issues. You can be angry about visas or Indians or whatever xenophobic target you choose, there are piles of studies displaying our skills gap. We should focus on repairing that before we start cutting off companies at the knees and forcing offshoring just to retain production capability. Ignoring that for political platitudes is completely moronic.


If there is a skills gap… then why do all these H1B visa holders have to be trained by the Americans they are replacing?

Most communist leaders were comparatively well off.

The masses almost never contact the dots.

As a result every generation re learns the same horrible mistakes.

I would not trust American Socialists, but in certain places, democratic socialism works pretty well.

There is no perfect system, but people are right not look outside of a system not working for them. We have inflation, we have had little wage increase for a long, long time, higher education is getting completely ridiculous to pay for, health insurance is either free if you live in poverty, or unaffordable if you have any money at all, the nation is in debt over its head, the list goes on.

I am a big proponent of capitalism as the best economic system, but it has to be maintained like anything else. Let it run wild and you end up with what we have. And then a little socialism looks enticing.

Lots of beautiful liberal cities in New England. My favorite being Portland, ME. It's pretty blue but very clean and affordable

High trust society and hardly any welfare leeches abusing the system

The Scandinavians have aspects of it. Cambodia is a hilarious case where they wanted socialism, but realized nobody was going to farm any food or provide essential services, so things that are necessary are capitalist, everything else socialist. It sort of works.

Democratic socialism is a far preferred method (in my view) to real socialism, because real socialism first takes the form of communism, and once the communists have power, they don't let go.

Sharing the cost of necessities is the way we are all headed. A tax on AI will be able to pay for everyone's food. It's not like farmers operate in the capitalist sphere anyways. They are completely dependent upon government.

So you are arguing it works in non diverse societies that are very homogeneous, filled with the same ethnic group, generally high IQ, and with a long standing cultural Protestant work ethic (old Lutheranism), and massive social cost to those who milk the system and don't work…

Gotcha

Are you saying a country exists in this world that is similar to America in makeup? Also I dont believe i said anything about it working here, just that it does work in certain places. Please, grasp what im saying before you reply.

Yep, from the jacobins to the Bolsheviks…the radicalism of the upper middle class educated

[There's nothing really controversial about Russian socialism originating from the upper/middle classes (e.g. Alexander Herzen, the "father of Russian socialism," came from the land-owning class, as did Bakunin and Kropotkin…Lenin and the Bolsheviks worked under the assumption that the working class needed to be led by the vanguard-party]
