  1. I've been avoiding this thread since I am still waiting for settlements so I can tear my pool out too. It is only 3 years old.
  2. Measles for all the indigenous people Elon downloaded everything into Grock/ xAI and now he needs to monetize it.
  3. This happened during Trump's first term Trump spoke to Putin at the White House and then he learned his lesson with the Ukraine blackmail call being documented that led to an impeachment.
  4. 100%. I looked up his shitty e-site and it has both MAGA and Trump sections. You can order a golden Trump Buda, Trump earrings, and Trump Lives! merch.
  5. Then you'll love this. I've read several times that the flag went up but they did not capture it on movie film but the people sending back clips to run in the news reels identified the photo taken as the perfect war bonds sales ad or something like that. They staged a reenactment that was filmed but the original guys that put up the flag had moved on so they rounded up a few guys that arrived later to do the photo shoot.
  6. would love to see the replies but ain't logging in to X The cognitive dissonance has to be killing him or he's too stupid to realize his position is untenable I support a man who campaigned on tariffs as one of his main policies That policy has killed my business I support the man not the policy You voted for this Gif
  7. Too late: They uploaded it to xAI through Starlink Russia has compromised Starlink and stole all the data as soon as it was uploaded Watch for an uptick in: identity theft contacts by foreign intelligence services with compromising information more targeted ads from big tech using your personally identifiable information and financial records
  8. We're going back to the barter system. I'll trade you this cigar for that roll of toilet paper.
  9. Not an expert but it is basically the Temu model. 1. Pick a product made in China that you can list on Amazon. Maybe you make a subtle design change to it, maybe it is a ripoff of something else that has brand recognition like these shoes I just got, similar to Sketchers. 2. Set up a digital storefront 3. Arrange for the in country exporter to label items for customer delivery in the US and ship them as if they were bought directly from the factory or exporter. (Ignore the US Middleman's storefront) 4. Items get around the bulk freight import tariffs based on the de minimis exemption
  10. The penguins won't forget who started this.
  11. I'll allow it but the point I was making is that the Lawyer sex trafficking ring has spread from Highland Park to Washington DC. I think the whole Madison Cawthorn orgy and coke thing was an early warning sign, only his wife was a Fitness Trainer.
  12. Don't know if this was posted here yet but I like the push back on this.
  13. Whoa, catching up on this. Sounds like the IP lawyer from the Park cities that went insane and accused people of sex trafficking her in the lawyer community.
  14. Twas but a scratch, not a direct hit but maybe a fragment hit him. So courageous, much more courage than the suckers and losers I spoke about in my last post.
  15. It's next to the place they bury all the losers and suckers, not many people know but it was Robert E Lee's old house, a great General, some say General Lee, or Generally. What a beautiful piece of real estate. We should put up some more confederate statues there. HERITAGE! I think we could redevelop that and make it a destination resort for all the international guests to come visit me and pay tribute. We'll use $TRUMP coins as the keys. Put the coin in the slot and the door opens for you, just like magic. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Thank you for your attention to this matter.
  16. This is promising. Looks like the Roman Catholic Church is poised to stand up against heresy. The New Pope, Leo XIV a while back.
  17. This is a really insightful video and it shows the project 2025 playbook to: Devalue the dollar because the financial services industry is like an oversized parasite on our diminishing manufacturing industry and we're at an inflection point. The goal is to bring in investment from Germany, Japan and Taiwan into the US Focus on our remaining strategic advantages like Big Tech (not mentioned were defense, large aircraft, space, etc.) Reshoring will come but not with jobs due to automation. Example was the MacBook assembly line in Austin being fully automated. We'll see deregulation of industries that will actually negatively impact jobs like self driving cars, drone or autonomous vehicle deliveries Trump's double barrel shotgun has two barrels Tariffs - fired and reshaping the global markets with higher import tariffs here to stay. The Huge numbers are to have something to negotiate down from (Say 25% down to 10%) but that the tariffs will stay in place on all imports. Tax reduction - Still in the barrel and it will be for the richest, industry based to incentivize factories and prop up real estate values. Trump will sell out the working class in favor of the Real Estate class Average workers will be hurt by this.
  18. What were the import tariffs on good from UK before the deal (December 2024) and what are they after the deal? (Hint: they are higher in many cases) https://www.investors.com/news/economy/us-uk-trade-deal-trump-tariffs-reciprocal-digital-services-sp-500-amzn-googl-meta/ So we go from 0-10% import tariff across the board (Exceptions available to meme coin holders), 25% import tariff cars and auto parts (EBC Brake pads?) and UK reduces the services tax on digital services companies. So not manufacturing? I thought that was the whole purpose to get our manufacturing exports up. Oh there are some airliners or parts in the deal? Un-named airline is buying some Boeing jets. Doesn't sound like a long term trade deal, sounds like a one time purchase order that is not part of a strategic deal. Why are we focused so tactically? Is Trump going to claim credit for every international purchase order? So we (Consumers) are going to pay more for everything. This is the model for future deals. We will pay more.
  19. Did he get one of these for Christmas? He can sell 2 dolls.
  20. Reminds me of the story of man cast adrift on the ocean. He prays, "God, Please save me." A boat sails by and the captain asks if he needs help and the man says, "No God will save me". So the boat sails off. He prays harder and two more times boats come up and he rejects the offers for food, water or to be picked up because his faith that God will save him. Predictably he dies and when he gets to heaven he asks God, "Why didn't you save me?". God replies, "What do you mean I sent three boats!"
