And who just gave this corporation a pardon?

Donald Trump.

this guy is such a shit stain. he don't give two fuks about anything except his own wallet and his vast, vast inferiority complex. I wish ppl like CNBC, of all ppl, would stop giving him a platform to run his propagandist mouth.

What a joke. FBI agents are not street brawlers. They interview witnesses, uncover documents, analyze intelligence, and testify in court, usually while wearing a suit and tie. Just one more frolic for Kash at taxpayer expense.

True courage.

Minutes after the market opened, it dropped 500 points. Oil keeps climbing even after the IEA released 400 million barrels and Senile Satan pledged 172 million from the strategic reserve. But sure, tell me again about all the “winning.”
