Foreign AffairsRe: I Will Do Everything To Defeat Trump & His Extremist Agenda - VP Harris by basilico: 9:50am On Jul 22, 2024
bluefilm:
She's even worse than Biden in every sense of it
She won't be running the show. She will just be signing orders prepared by others, nominating people suggested by others, throwing money into wars supplied by the military industrial complex.
Any original idea she has besides roe vs Wade?

She's a woman and black American of Indian route. This might Garner a lot of votes for her especially from women and black Americans.
More died of COVID under Biden than under Trump, yet Biden had vaccines, medical equipment, drugs, supply chains etc from day one .

Russia hoax
Children in cages by Trump but was Obama's invention.

Just watch MSNBC. Everything is a lie.. uncountable.

The Republicans, if it wasn't clear enough.

Biden would have been piled on even without the debate.
You live in a cocoon. All those democrat shenanigans last few years and you say republican are worse? Including impeaching Trump for wanting to know why Hunter was being paid by Ukraine. Yet democrats are doing everything to eliminate Trump in an election year.

LordReed:
While did use the word sometimes, I think it's very clear which party does try to be ethical versus the party steeped in lies and deception.

Now that Donald Trump is the oldest in the race will people still be talking about age? I doubt it.
Which party thrives on lies and deception?
Biden had no problem with age. It is the soft pass he was given , covering up his state of mind. Until he faced Trump in the debate. He also could not be prosecuted because his mental faculties were not intact.

On the bolded, I already knew that. But even Biden couldn’t pull such a rash of donations within a single day
Are you sure they are real donors.
Actblue is known to use other people details to make donations.

a Raleigh resident (designated A.D.), whose identity has been kept confidential by Horn, said.
Reports show A.D. gave $26,204.07 to Democratic-aligned causes during the 2021-22 election cycle through 1,905 transactions.
“There is no way I could give anywhere near


I Don't trust democrats on anything.
A dark money group drops a large amount, Actblue reports the money is from thousands of small donors.

Democrats have been known to play dirty. In 2016 using superdelegates Hillary easily took the nomination .Bernie Sanders was edged out
In 2020, Joe Biden was muscled in after his opponents were prevailed upon to step aside.
In 2024 Kennedy Jr realized everything was stacked up against him leading him to quit the democrat party altogether.
Now Joe Biden has been prevailed upon to step aside, the democrats bigwigs will decide who gets on the ballot.

But but Trump is a threat, an existential threat,, we need to stop him in order to save our democracy.

He didn't exactly endorse Kamala Harris, so the Dems have some plan I think.

The former vice president quits. Sad day for this country
Was only a matter of time, he was likely negotiating his pay off.
He must have been promised gazillions. His family has to find jobs now, most likely they will staff his presidential library.
How long have the media known his mental abilities were compromised?
Foreign AffairsRe: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by basilico: 6:38pm On Jul 21, 2024
Just curious. CNN Livestream of Trump rallies was only once this year.
The day of the attempted assassination.
Oddly curious if that's the only time they bothered to Livestream.
Foreign AffairsRe: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by basilico:
Joe Biden has been shielded by media. They ask him softballs. They don't report that he has large talking points cards every single time in public. He reads out a list of those to ask him questions.
The media is pathetic. They knew he was not upto speed, until he foolishly agreed to debate Trump .
I think the debate was a setup to force him out of the race, it backfired because he was just too awful and a pain to watch
Someone else is running the show at the WH.

MILWAUKEE — Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump warns that that countries holding American hostages will pay “a very big price” if they are not released.

“To the entire world, I tell you this: We want our hostages back, and they better be back before I assume office, or you will be paying a very big price, ” Trump warns in his speech at the Republican National Convention.

Trump does not specify which hostages he is referring to.

There are more than 60 Americans being held hostage or wrongly detained around the world, including eight Americans being held by Hamas in Gaza


That's how you talk to terrorists,not engage in meaningless ceasefire phased dialogues.

Are you a fool? Don't you know that unlimited immigration improves the economy, enhances birth rates and helps society become more inclusive. It also increases the Red blood cells.
China , Japan and Korea would be third world if they didn't allow uninhibited immigrants from every corner of the earth.

Dude spend some time googling Shorts.

When shorting you are gambling the price on the Stock will go lower. You are basically borrowing a stock and selling it at the current price. Fri. the price was 31.
So if the price drops to say 25. You can buy it back at the price and return the borrowed share. So, you would make $6 per share.
If Trump was shot, DJT would probably bounce in the short term (as it did now), knowing how nutty Trumpers are. It's 38. So, the person who took the short position would have lost $7 per share right now.
But they can hold on to the short position, maybe in the long term it would drop as he is the driver of the Stock. But that's a gamble.
But others may have different thesis of what would happen. I'm sure people can argue both sides.

But DJT is going to crash. It is overvalued. A short position on it is nothing out of the ordinary.
Of course there is nothing to see here with an investor shorting 12,000,000 shares on 12th July.
Then later retracts saying they filed in error.

cal club India dot com has some theory of what would have happened. , these investors also shorted rumble stocks. The bot has banned me twice after linking to that site in last few weeks.That site has crazy theories.

A history list of trades on DJT shorts is provided in this link.

I do have a rough idea of shorting stocks,

If they shorted it friday, they would have lost money on Monday, at least Monday morning.
I was asking would they have made money if God forbid the worst happened on Saturday?

https://finbold.com/trump-stock-shorted-heavily-day-before-assassination-attempt/

However, a fact bound to raise a few questions is that short positions against Truth Social stock doubled between July 1 and July 12, going from 7 to 15 million shares, in what was a record of shares shorted for DJT stock since its trading debut.

This surge indicates that individuals or large organizations anticipated a significant drop in the stock’s value by July 15, a scenario that would likely have materialized had President Trump died in Pennsylvania.

Joy Reid suggests the Trump assassination was staged.
Alex Jones was fined billions for a similar claim.
They should sue this bitch if there is equal justice.

Sat after the shooting one of my boys asked if I had bought DJT( (he can't due to his Job), thought it would go up on the goodwill. I agreed. Easy call. But missed it in after hours trading. Didn't think to short it as I generally don't short plus just wanted to make a quick turnaround.

But if you spent less time posting bullshit about a country you don't live, you might know what a short position is.
And get you some friends with money so you can talk about money.

#noliesoverhere
Well there was a group that shorted it on Friday. Then they refiled on Monday saying it was an error.

He better.
Arizona has ruled voters must produce some ID. Last time they stopped counting, then Joe got a massive spike in the wee hours of the morning to take the lead.
The Marc Elias group don't want voter integrity.

This nut wants to buy into a conspiracy theory but doesn't even understand how it works. Lol. Nutters.

Fux.. Tried to buy DJT after hours on Sat. was already too high. Should have shorted it instead. Shorts aren't in my DNA though.
Ad usual you have experience in everything.
You have been to the moon too?

I saw this in a disqus comment. On Friday last week , some group shorted Trump Media Group shares.

Calling out ibime the expert from retirement and summer holidays. How does shorting work. If Trump assassination was successful, Trump Truth Media Group shares would have been worthless. What would have been the payoff?
Why would they short 12 million shares then refile on Monday saying twas an error.

Pelosi has told Biden that he has no pathway to winning so should consider stepping down and I think this is unfair because Biden won the nomination fairly

If they wanted Kamala Newsome Whitmer or anyone they should have run him or her through the primary not trying to blackmail into stepping down. How do we know that the voters who chose Biden at the primary would have voted the party pick

It's like you winning Olympic trials and when it's time for the Olympics they are telling you to step down for someone else

When Democrats rail about democracy being threatened, they have always shown they don't care for it at the DNC, it's the same way they rigged out Sanders in 2016 and gave Hillary debate questions

The RNC elite on the other side half of them didn't like Trump but they respected the process that won him the primaries in 2016
Democracy is a rule for the people by the people and of the people.
JB won nominations, now the elite want to handpick a successor after they force him out. Apologize to his voters first for lying that his mental abilities were intact.
But but but Trump is a threat to "our democracy ' , voter ID is racist .

Basically. This sums it all. Snipers knew there was a shooter on the roof above them. Some part of the crowd was yelling to security he is up there. Snipers in situ on a more inclined roof had him locked on them via his range finder, he didn't need a range finder he was not on a golf course. They couldn't take him out unless he took a first shot .He fires 8 rounds,3 seconds later they take him out blowing out his brains. Dead men don't talk, all his internet activities is zero. I'm no fool here.
Wisdom again kills me.

Foreign AffairsRe: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by basilico:
After Bush toppled Saddam, he dismantled the army. The Baathists joined Al Zarqawi who was the real founder of ISIS. Zarqawi was taken out. One of his proteges Al Baghdadi already had been detained, on his release he took over the Zarqawi group.

Come Arab spring. After ousting Mubarak, then Tunisia then Libya, America shifted to removing Assad. Don't forget Russia only overseas Naval base is in Tartus, Syria. America encouraged and funded the uprising against Assad in a get Russia scheme. Pretending not to know that Assad sect , the Alawitte Shia and the Sunni hate each other, the "moderate Free Syria" armies were trained and equipped by America, partly with leftover weapons from Libya ( remember Benghazi ) via Turkey. These moderates cost Gen Flynn his job after he stated that America was arming jihadists.

The moderate Free syrian armies funded by America joined the Al Nusra and ISIS soon after training. Al Baghdadi had a larger agenda , creation of a theocratic state complete with territory and a caliphate. He allegedly comes from Muhammad lineage, many jihadists accepted him as the caliph, tens of thousands of Muslims from all over the world flocked to join his army and live under a Caliphate as their god so desires.

So the US foolishly funded ISIS hoping to take down Assad and weaken Russia influence.
ISIS came to own territory the size of the UK, implemented Sharia law and had many thousands killed .
