Biff’s declaration that defense companies should not pay dividends and buy back stock is the same old concern about giving back to shareholders vs capx. But in this case the gov buys the bullets. “Hey, that’s my money.”

Just seems ICE is prepped more as a military force than law enforcement

So I guess he is doing this cause he knows he will lose on Friday?

The defense company, oil company and house buying limits and restrictions sure sound like Chavez socialism.
January 7, 2026 at 8:21 PM
Like where did the defense company buyback and dividend thing come from?
January 7, 2026 at 8:11 PM
Politically, it just sounds good to ban institutions from buying houses….also, who knows if it actually gets implemented. Biff says allot of things.

Thing I don’t understand is why would US need Russian OK re VZ? What were they going to do? We might as well ask India.
(AP) - Russian officials indicated in 2019 that the Kremlin would be willing to back off from its support for Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela in exchange for a free hand in Ukraine, according to Fiona Hill, an adviser to President Donald Trump at the time.

So like the drug companies lowering drug prices, oil companies will agree to do something nominal allowing T to get a good headline but with little actual substance. This is what he does, it’s a version of TACO.

Won’t the admin just say VZ was an updated version of Panama in the late 80’s?
January 3, 2026 at 8:10 PM
So same people in-charge of VZ but one who will accept US control especially of oil and also accept VZ immigrants that are in US
January 3, 2026 at 7:58 PM
So will ICE agents be waiting and watching the VZ people in US who gather in support of the arrest?

I don’t know….POTUS said it was 18Trillion. I think we should go with that one.
PIMCO: “.. The Supreme Court is likely to strike down the Trump administration’s IEEPA tariffs .. which would force the Trump administration to refund roughly $100 billion of tariffs paid in 2025.”

IMO, maga has changed from don’t talk about what’s going on to save a friendship (well, I see 30% income tax was best), vs we shouldn’t talk politics to save friendship, ( flat earth vs normal). No one want to talk crazy….
