Found myself 50% in stables headed into this blood bath. Made a bit of money on $trump before they sent $melania to nuke the charts and sent the gains out of the casino. Started DCA’ing back into some plays with the remainder, but lightly. Short term bearish as trade war plays
Contrary to left sided belief, we dont hate Mexico and we dont hate Canada. We hate being used. I can vehemently disagree with the President of Mexico — and simultaneously say “congrats” to her and DJT on reaching a deal.
The executive branch is required to execute. DOGE seeks efficient execution. The suggestion an executive branch designed to minimize waste is beyond the law — is ridiculous. Opposing such an obvious idea, is part of the swamp getting rich on the fat… or just TDS.
No one said it was going to be easy. You create dependancy in millions of people that create nothing or even net negative, and undoing that is enevitably going to be difficult.
I used to have a friend that was constantly asking me for money… and I was giving it to him… once I stopped giving him money, the friendship ended by him. Reminds me of US and EU.
USA is not the global police force. Let EU, NATO or UN deal with Putin/Ukraine. Why do we pay disproportionate amounts and then contribute individually disproportionately as well. This is a global issue, and needs a global response.
When did the left become the war-mongers? Do people really want to be at war with Russia? Lets call it what it is — hundreds of billions of $s, is war. Ukraine is not a part of NATO.
There is a global hug for Ukraine from Countries with their hands firmly holding onto the wallets… as they try to extort $ out of the USA.
Have fun winning the war with your hugs and endorsements. The days of glad-handing are over.
Choices
1 Start WW3
2 Put US and NATO troops in the battle, dare Putin to shoot, and if he does - WW3
3 try to “win” with just money (Ukraine cant win bc it doesnt have the troops)
4 Continue to fund not to win, but to send Ukraine into the meatgrinder to try to bankrupt Putin

Who is playing checkers… who is playing chess? Watch what happens when you think even one move ahead (or two or three). EU is going to bolster its own defense. Finally. 80 years of US protection is enough.
