Just putting this here;  Have spare bedrooms and a BGE.  OK, a lot nearer the Ukraine frontline but the offers there, anyway.

the system is a pendulum..it swings both ways..that is what makes it work..regardless of your stance, every 4 years it has the opportunity to recede/reset/progress..

I’m mostly excited for the incoming Secretary of Health and Human Services, RFK Jr.  Measles and polio have been held down for too long by the elite, they were long overdue for a comeback.

Hats off to the Trump campaign and his supporters/voters.  The Democrats got flat out smoked. 

And to the democrats  for trump

Last I checked, Trump won the Republican primary in 2024.  

I understand the desire to blame Democrats for him though.  Why not?  Blaming all the people who voted for him doesn’t tell the greatest story about the country, after all.  

i wasnt blaming the democrats that voted for trump, im thanking them and accepting them into the fold....

I'm sure the two of them here on the forum will appreciate that!

What is the current status of the roof over that bedroom?  I will work for smoked meat.

The title says it all. Too many have sacrificed too much to ensure this right is protected.  So, regardless of any leanings-VOTE!
Remember, If you don't vote, you can't Bit-h.  
BTW-fasten your seat belt as it could be quite a ride!

I agree 100% brother Cap. Every American should get out and vote. Notice I said “American” there. With that said I send a very special thank you to all of the good, God fearing Christians out there that powered the Trump Train to victory for the third time. We gave the glory to God and in return God has given the glory to us in the form of Donald J. Trump. Peace and prosperity shall now return to Gods country. Glory, glory Trumelujah!!!!!! 

SGH

And just so y’all know I have written some very special songs to honor the return of his magnificence. I will post them all on Inauguration Day 👍

Hang on to your hats boys and girls - the stocks in your pension funds and personal portfolios are skyrocketing this morning!

Out of curiosity I looked at DJT equity price, it was up +6.66%.

Without making any direct political comment, I do think that stock price is driven by politics, not underlying fiscal fundamentals, so it is probably a good time to short it.  With that said, I try to only invest in things that I understand so I don't think I'll be doing that.

Maybe this will help you. A company with a 7.46B market cap has less than $900k in quarterly revenue. That market cap is clearly not based on financials.

Exactly.  Thank you.

There were a lot of opportunities to short GameStop for a similar reason but because I didn't understand the phenomenon driving the price I never pulled the trigger.

I think some of the market is reacting to who was elected, but the broader reaction is likely due to quick resolution of the election with a definitive and accepted result. I would guess a fair bit of money has been sitting on the sidelines waiting to see if we were going into another protracted and messy post election period with contested outcome, potential violence, etc., as in 2020.

Just a heads up, Christmas Eve I will repost the ever popular song “Twas the night before Trumpmas” that I posted 8 years ago. I’m sure there are some new folks who missed it. I will also post the long awaited “Glory Glory Trumpelujah” as well. Please keep your eye out and save it if you like because I know the Buffalo will kill it quick. 

Also as Big Don lays his mighty Goliath like hand on the Holy Bible to take his oath I will post “Imagine what Trump could do to you” simultaneously. It’s an ode to Obingo, Biden, Kamala and the wicked witch herself, Hillary. Again be watching because I’m certain that the Buffalo will strike hard and fast. 

As it gets closer I will post a reminder to be on the look out for these magnificent songs.

Rather than playing your “greatest hits”, perhaps you could consider more shaving posts.

Trust me my friend when I say they are coming. Got a new shaving bowl made of brass. Dying to show it off 👍

Fellows forgive me for gloating a little. But after starving to death and doing without for almost 4 years it feels good to know that soon my money will match up with some of high rollers out there. Definitely not with the real high rollers. But I will be doing alright 👍

All less than two years old and fully intact.  

Teeth less so. 

Please don’t try to arrive by small inflatable craft from France. Our leaders frown on such behaviour.

Is it just me or does even the air smell more affordable today ?

We had a good run as a country.
