The magical perpetual motion of the US stock market:

Market booms lead to higher bank earnings.
Higher bank earnings lead to more market booms.

This is gonna end in an epic fashion.

Also remember when they complained about "the male loneliness pandemic?" Color me shocked that the "rape is epic" guy can't find the love his life.

1)You may remember the articles criticizing liberal students for their hesitancy to make friends with conservative students—alleging that they were less open-minded than their conservative counterparts.

Here are the little darlings they’ve created. Horrifying.

Maybe. But if he does, that "US attorney" will not be able to charge anyone from then on.

Smart move.

Well, Politico used "for". But yes, propositions are always quantum physics to me.

He never spelled it out. Mentioned something about the shutdown and House not in business.

This is an assistant for Kansas' AG, one of the "Young Republicans" mentioned in the article.

How many countries in the world will allow a mere speaker to block an elected official from taking office? What a fifth-world shithole.

The same applies to the Ukraine war. If a "peace deal" makes Putin politically stronger than before the war, he will undoubtedly restart it to win another round of rewards. It may even encourage China to have a go at Taiwan.
It's basically like paying a criminal to temporarily pause the crimes.

Hear me out.
When it comes to Gaza, people may never agree on which side was responsible. But logically, AT LEAST ONE side was.
So if you have a "deal" that rewards both sides politically and consolidates both governments, you're essentially rewarding belligerence.
Therefore, the peace won't last.

One thing people don't talk about enough is that some of these people are cultural conservatives deep down.
Communism and Islamic fundamentalism both imply some kind of aesthetic and sexual uniformity, and it's not unimaginable that they form a loose alliance with American conservatism.

Biden offered the same ceasefire, hostages released, and two-state framework and got called “Genocide Joe.” Eighteen months of bombings, killings, and starvation later, Trump signs it and suddenly he’s the “peace president.”

Someone should invent a one-click broadcasting device. When you're facing imminent danger from a robber, an ICE agent, or a domestic abuser, you can click a button and immediately livestream what you see to a public website.

If anyone is buying into this bullshit, I want to remind you that an article in the top medical journal, The Lancet, projects that the USAID cuts will kill 14 million people in five years, about 3 million a year.

In a huge coincidence, a Bitcoin billionaire just-so-happened to put up massive leveraged bets against Bitcoin and Ethereum right before Trump posted about new tariffs on China, prompting a market crash.

$200m in profits instantly. $200m we know about, because they likely used many accounts.

Satoshi-era whale shorted $1.1B in BTC and ETH 30 minutes before Trump tariffs, banking $190M-$200M as liquidations hit $19.33B.

Whoever thinks "the mob" is their priority target at this time in history is not a serious person, let alone a serious journalist.

Lol, WP can't even bring itself to spell out the FACT that there is no riot. "Journalism" your ass.

This is a weird way to measure public opinion considering the 52% may include those who hated what he promised from the start.
This question is only meaningful if the respondents are exclusively Republican.

G Elliott Morris @gelliottmorris.com · 3d

52% of Americans say Trump is “doing what he promised.” But not all those people *like* what he’s doing! That is key context for interpreting this number, but was notable missing from a viral CNN segment (that the White House later turned into a press release)
