Deep respect for πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦, neighbors we don’t deserve, and all that win represents.

Not an economist, forgot everything I learned in intro micro and macro, so beyond not investing safe haven assets in TIPS, are there alternative safe investments that I should consider to offset existing but not acknowledged inflation? Precious metals?

Thank you, Joe Biden, for nothing. So disappointing

Logan says Happy Thanksgiving! πŸπŸ¦ƒ #Sheltie

See you all next week as I take a social media break to focus on family and gratitude.

So much wasted energy. Don’t engage. Move on. Block if you feel goal is to troll.

It’s more murder suicide. They would take us all down with them, I’m afraid

The next question will be, β€œHow could you have been so delusional to think thet the justice system β€˜was above’ politics?”

A hundred years in the future, scholars will look back and wonder, β€œHow could you devise a legal system so stupidly slow that all you have to do to escape justice is run out the clock?”

Thanks for that. Now I can’t unsee.

Mine does too! Last week I ate an apple and failed to share. I got the cold shoulder that night. No snugs :(

GOP will overplay their hand, if we let them. We may have to play a bit of rope a dope first, unfortunately.

He is far more confident than last year. No hesitancy issues this year

It’s amazing what happens when you create a platform around a culture of civility!

Would still love more diversity of thought. For ex, there is an argument that tariffs will bring back manufacturing jobs, even if short term pain. I feel that would enrich threads and drive further engagement.

Way to fight the good fight? Any ideas on timeline for when this can be voted on by the full Congress? Does it have to go to Committee first, etc?

Just a reminder that Elon Musk has never had a single relative wear the uniform or bleed for this country. If he wants to threaten a veteran, he should try doing it to their face.

Most of the time, I feel that the reporting didn't add to my understanding beyond what was in the headline.

You are right, though. They do important work and should be compensated appropriately.

I feel like "to stay informed" you would have to have subscriptions to 15+ papers/online news sources. So the shear breadth is daunting.

Plus, you have to look at it as the value add after reading the headline. I would say only 1 out of 3 times I feel that I left the article feeling that enriched

Your husband exemplifies all that is right in America. His integrity and bravery will be studied for generations.

Agree. I was listening in on the show, too.

American people need to learn the hard way. It's sad, but it is true.

Got it. At this exact moment, I agree the US is a very reliable partner.

I guess unreliable is the wrong word. Maybe risky would be better, bc it cannotes future/potential behaviors rather than past behaviors.

Of course it is a Russian dream! Having Tulsi Gabbard as DNI is a wet dream. There is no way Five Eyes/BND will share intelligence for fear it will go to Putin. Moreover, if you were a European analyst, would you advise your heads of state to trust Trump to uphold Article 5? I wouldn’t.

Just so we are clear, Trump’s 4D chess tariff strategy is to hold everyday Americans economic security as hostage just to win some petty, symbolic personal battle with world leaders.

In normal times I would see this as murder suicide, but I guess if Trump does it…

I totally get that Europe cannot currently produce munitions at the same rate as Russia, and they would be completely reliant on a now unreliable US in a conventional war. So there’s added hesitation to act. But you gotta do something to keep Putin from sleeping well at night
