Even though I shouldn’t be at this point, I’m still stunned he actually said that out loud. Just a breathtaking level of arrogance.

Wasn’t the problem not with the individual mortgages, but the securitization of them? And that there’s far more capital in the world searching for investable growth opportunities than there are *actual* growth opportunities?

A striking feature of Trump and his team is: they somehow imagine a world in which they are the only actors, only ones with power, and whether it's Tehran or Minneapolis are surprised when it turns out others do. There are many kinds of power and many nations with power.
How is this even possible?

The reality: Dems are flipping R +9/10 seats in special elections by 2-3 points.

Some cattle on a Dartmoor country lane, having a snack before embarking on the long journey to Todmorden in West Yorkshire, which one of them had heard was nice.
The same cattle further on the lane, including Carol at the rear, who is already having misgivings and missing home.
People in cities think nothing dramatic ever happens in villages but that’s not true. In our village the summer before last the cattle pushed over a fence and escaped from John and Rita’s field and lots of people still talk about it to this day and some of those people don’t even live in the village
goddamn is this a breath of fresh air after Allred 2024
Something kinda 🤔 about the 14th: Tom Graves won it by 53 pts in 2018, followed by MTG in ‘20 by 49. Then, in ‘22 — a Biden midterm — she dropped to a 32-pt win, then a 28-pt win in ‘24. She wasn’t in danger of actually losing, but it’s interesting to see that kind of movement in a district that red
This is Catch-22 levels of surreal. “No need to plan for victory because we don’t want to win — we just want to be at war.”
Regrettable, but true!
This is why I can barely follow the news or the stock market anymore. It’s all a bizarro world of 🐂 sh*t, none of it’s real. (The Strait of Hormuz is completely blocked? Trump says “the war is over” and the market goes 📈. It’s like playing chess on a board of water, and the pieces are made of smoke)
Well this is fantastic news 🙄
Remember guys, you can’t afford a gas rig, or a coal mine, or a nuclear power station, but you can afford to put some cheap solar panels on your roof.
That’s why the fossil fuel industry has spent billions trying to kill renewable energy.
The dealer needs to keep you addicted.
Just IMO, but the US stock market's gonna have to drop a lot more than 1% to get this admin to change course.
This is probably the only way

So this is an economic Hiroshima, isn’t it?
Yeah, with tariffs he could just undo this or that tariff and voila! You’re back to normal.
I’m struggling to understand how that’s possible with this situation.
But… how, exactly?
Reading that, I’m thinking to myself, this thing is now taking on some unstoppable momentum. We are not heading towards a good place 🤔
So Netanyahu gets a veto?
Is it stretching things to say this is starting to feel like a Lehman Brothers moment?
half my timeline is just people smarter than I am posting "dawg" "chat is this good" "woof" and/or horrifying graphs
“Ever wanted to know how GWB and the neocons got flushed out of the GOP? Well, this is how.”
I feel like Trump impeachment and removal scenarios in 2027 continue to be underpriced. It’s all it will never happen they’re too afraid and MAGA until JD Vance works with some senators to snake him after an impeachment and Trump is at 29% approval and they all want to move on.
I mean it’s one strait, Michael, what could it cost, 10 dollars?
Is there more from this thread?

Trump 2.0 really is the first postmodern presidency
