Gavin Newsom: "Masked men. Jumping out of unmarked vehicles. People disappearing. No due process. No oversight. No accountability. People say I'm being hyperbolic. Bullshit. This is happening in America today."

Clearest case yet (and that is saying quite a bit) for insider trading prosecution. I won't be holding my breath for it to happen. Trump 2.0 is the most corrupt executive branch in modern US history.

Massive insider trading. Thirty minutes before Trump’s China tariff announcement, a crypto “whale” opened a $100M+ short on Bitcoin.

4:30 PM: Whale opens $100M+ BTC short
4:50 PM: Trump announces 100% tariffs on China
5:20 PM: $19.3 B in liquidations hit the market
The whale’s profit: $192 million

Auto credit is often THE canary in the proverbial economic coal mine. People prioritize their car payments above all else because it ensures that they can get to work and continue to earn money. It is one of the last items to get cut. If masses of people are defaulting, it is a really bad sign.

Really disgusting stuff. Remember the apple never falls far from the tree, so these young people learned this hate from their parents. Sad. 😞

Great job, Republicans. You’ve raised little Nazi racists to spread your vitriol.
