I guess this is also bad?  Asking for a friend…

“We have offered zero-for-zero tariffs for industrial goods — as we have successfully done with many other trading partners — because Europe is always ready for a good deal, so we keep it on the table.”

Turns out that even when you reduce your tariffs to 0, the current US is so unpredictable that that is not enough. There is literally no proof that what you said will mean anything - just as your Vietnam point was pointless.

If it’s about deficits, there’s nothing we can do but enjoy the depression.

Kind of like how you said there wasn’t any mention on FoxNews the other day when the market took a big hit and yet you were clearly wrong.

Here’s a question for you:  Can a person who is born a boy become a girl?

When I posted it, it was correct. Go ahead and prove that their first story on it wasn’t at 10 PM.

To your question, are you trying to tell us something about yourself? Or do you just sit at home and fume about people’s genitalia in your free time?

The talk radio mind rot gotchu bad bb.

I literally went to their website after your post and showed you that you were wrong. 

So you can’t answer the question:  Can a person who is born a boy become a girl?  Why should we take anything you say seriously when you can’t answer a simple yes or no question?

It's just a test to see if you are willing to lie to support your party. 

 

A Republican version of this test might be: "Do you believe Donald Trump knew he was keeping Classified documents that he wasn't supposed to have."

 

Avoiding the question isn't exactly failing the test, but it is a warning sign.

Surely, you’re now limited to two posts a day of sharing anything from X.  By all means, debate and enjoy the nonsense, but scale back on reposting random stuff from X.

Because the political discussions here don't matter. They are mostly people who enjoy the pursuit of knowledge and the mental exercise of defending and dissecting ideas. Civility is maintained through the shared experience of military service and the occasional necessary banning. 

 

It's not worth engaging with someone in that context who isn't going to converse honestly. The goal is to be right, not to win. What you do when your point is defeated is very different between those opposing goals.

Also I’m not a democrat, what is “my party” you speak of?

And after today?

The guy I follow was short through the collapse, then went long during the sucker rally. I wasn't thrilled by the end of Tuesday, but I trust him and it paid off on Today.

this market is a dream for options traders

there was LOTS of money made on both swings

i loaded up on some BTC when it touched 74k

Lot of money to be made there, just remember, it is absolutely not a store of value/safety trade. It's been moving basically in sync with the magnificent seven. Completely speculative right now.

agreed the swings are brutal

i'm on a 15-20 year BTC investing horizon and think it can hit 500k + down the road. used to think those numbers were crazy until i dug into the math. the big investment firms taking positions in it seems to signal it's long term viable.

Still up form the low...lost about 33% of yesterday's gain.  Buying the dips...I had a lot of cash sitting on the sidelines.

If true, we’re gonna get to test your guys’s theories about how soft power and globalization are old news! The cracks are starting to form in the world order.

But at least some insiders and billionaires are making money off dumps and pumps while we go down. Transfer that wealth!

Europe is the gayest place on Earth.  How else will they continue to purchase cheap dildos besides meeting with Xi.
