Dean, please do NOT ever denigrate someone based on their appearance, regardless of their political affiliation. It is sexist to judge women on their appearance as well as cruel and hurtful to those in your audience who happen to be less blessed in the genetic lottery of good looks. Do you do the same to those who are born disabled or are disfigured by some terrible accident? Life is a lottery and some are dealt an unfair hand. Do call people out for their character, bad choices and lack of ethics but NEVER for their looks. Be more like Zev.
Lutnick is going to get much richer 🤑 if the tariffs are returned to the importers because his company has been buying up the tariff credits for pennies on the dollar because they needed Lutnick’s bond company to hold a loan so they could pay the tariff when they were imposed by Trump back in April. 🥺
I posted about this yesterday & quote posted over Lev Parnas' Substack article. They had to get the best Senate deal they could to send it over to the House for a vote, forcing Johnson to swear in Rep Grijalva for the 218th vote on the discharge petition. You only need a majority vote (218) to send the petition to the floor for a vote, bypassing the Speaker. I wasn't sure the DOJ would release the files. I'm not sure which will happen first, the vote on the discharge petition or the vote on the Senate deal. Both votes are MANDATORY now. The SCOTUS vote on the tariffs will hopefully finish him off & he'll lose all leverage. Perhaps a quid pro quo won't be needed. SNAP funds, ACA subsidies & Medicaid should really all come through now. There should be NO TAX CUTS FOR BILLIONAIRES! #EattheRich
This is an addition to my last quote post. I just learned that Donald is going crazy. He never was going to fund the ACA subsidies. GOP under McConnell tried 70 times to destroy the ACA. Obama saved it as he walked out the door. Democrats did a Hail Mary Pass. Right now Donald is even trying to get out of funding SNAP. GOP don't care if people starve. Once Rep Grijalva signs the discharge petition as the 218th vote, THE LIST IS FROZEN. A discharge petition then becomes PRIVILEGED! In other words, it takes precedence over any other House business. Therefore it must be dealt with BEFORE the Senate deal. Another caveat is that a discharge petition can only be brought forward on the second & fourth Monday of the month. Today is the second Monday. Time is of the essence. After the vote is taken, the FBI vault opens & the Epstein documents, photos, videos, grand jury testimony, etc are released. Shit hits the fan from what you say in number 1 of your 5 Stack. I found all this info about discharge petitions in a simple search. As you can see, discharge petitions are VERY hard to do. This is the only thing we have in common with MAGA. BTW, everyone, please give whatever you can to your local food pantry. Thanks Zev & Dean for all you do.
Good 5 stack, bit I agree with Susan about no meat burgers. Eating animals is bad for the environment, bad for human health, and vicious cruelty to the animals we share the planet with.
It will crash. When it does, I expect it to drop precipitously. I think investors are playing a game of "Chicken." Nobody wants to lose out on the highs before the crash, but it may be hard to sell fast enough once it starts plummeting.
A bond crisis was developing last April when a bunch of Trump's tariffs went into effect. Then Trump paused them and people put on their rose-tinted glasses. I believe that some people around Trump made a whole lot of money by timing the market according to insider knowledge of tariffs going on and off.
As I understand it (and I'm an amateur here), when the whole stock market goes down far enough, people - and fund managers - sell bonds to cover the stock losses. That then infects the bond market, which causes interest rates to spike because companies and governments have to offer higher interest rates to get people to buy bonds so they can finance their investments or government.
When I look for more recent discussions by Googling "bond crisis," I see Morningstar, for example, saying that significantly more companies than usual are having their corporate bonds downgraded to "junk" status, which means they have become riskier investments and the companies have to pay higher interest rates when they sell bonds to raise money. It's a negative feedback loop. Companies with lots of debt to begin with now have to pay interest rates higher than they can afford and so they are at greater risk of bankruptcy.
When it gets bad enough, the "cure" is recession, because there is a point where the Fed doesn't have enough tweaks left to stop it. Interest rates and prices fall in a recession. Fewer people tend to have jobs, too.
Bird flu is induced by humans who fucking don't know how to raise birds. Ergo, humans fuck with a species that don't belong in Canada. So good for ya'll abusing another species. High five!

Most likely dead, at the midterms.

Ketanji Brown Jackson found that the reserve that was supposed to be there for SNAP benefits is gone!
Is the market going to crash again like 2008 via BARRON TRUMP & the cryptocurrency scam…asking for friends..??

Such good news on SCOTUS!
Exciting!
