Q: At the end of this year, those extended Obamacare subsidies expire. What's your message to those 24m Americans who will see their premiums go up?
TRUMP: Don't make it sound so bad. Obviously you're a sycophant for Democrats. You're obviously a provider of bad news for Republicans.

This flailing shows how unprepared the GOP is to be the dog that caught the car.
Tens of millions of Americans are about to see their already too-expensive health insurance rates skyrocket. Millions will end up with no coverage—all thanks to the GOP, who, meanwhile, gave billionaires more tax cuts.

The hoax excuse is now a joke. Whatever he calls a hoax is, in fact, completely true. Russia hoax as an example. Election hoax in 2020. Saying hoax is all he has since the evidence is so overwhelming. It’s his tell.
The next time he says hoax tell him there have been none. His campaign was a hoax.

Individual investor of ~30yrs, who’s done well enough at it to validate resounding support of your point.
Buying into companies like (across time examples) Corning, US Steel, Ford, IBM, Amgen, Apple & Raytheon… Made good savings sense.
Chasing “bubble” value of intangibles, not so much.

I worked in Silicon Valley during the Dot-Bomb collapse. I could drive 101 from San Jose to Palo Alto and only see 3 or 4 cars on the way. I know scores of families that were destroyed when their stock-option pay became worthless... but was still taxed at full value. Good times.

Congress just gave $900 billion to the US military in case you were wondering if there were any repercussions for blowing up civilian ships on the high seas. Meanwhile, the FIFA peace participation trophy guy still manages to keep the Epstein list out of the headlines.

Well, it’s a good thing that the American colonists weren’t averse to shooting the British at Lexington and Concord. ICE is an occupation force reporting to a Russian puppet regime in Washington. Treat it that way.
