1) good, they should be prosecuted, they are responsible for countless deaths

2) always very funny when these people realize the extent to which their billionaire patrons could not possibly give less of a shit about them

NVIDIA earnings were a mirage. The market figured it out surprisingly fast. NVIDIA bump evaporated.

I don’t know how this information can enter the system without exploding the bubble.

But sometimes bezzles visible for months before crash.

Waiting for the feds?

People will cling to the familiar even if it is killing them. If one doesn't understand this basic fact, then you will be so confounded on multiple levels.

The US President demanded that this person be killed. Yesterday.

Reckless, filthy perversion of public office is not Conservative. It is not Liberal. It is poison to all Americans.

They are literally firing all the judges they think might grant relief. They just fired a friend of mine a couple hours ago. They have no shame. The bastards want an assembly line for deportations and nothing more; rubber-stamping bootlickers who’ll yes’sir at every new diktat to deny.
Instead of hiring more immigration judges, the Department of Justice just posted an ad for "deportation judges." join.justice.gov

This is a man whose wife was SHOT IN THE HEAD having to act even-keeled when the President of the United States tries to incite violence against him. Trump has to go, right now.
I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.

Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

Trump's approval ratings are tanking.

He's flailing on the economy.

He backtracked on the Epstein files and lost control of the GOP.

His plot to steal the 2026 midterms is faltering.

Do not let him gaslight you into believing he is all powerful.

Just city after city where they roll in expecting to be greeted as liberators. On the day of Dick Cheney's funeral let's just remember that that never works.
