Also, what are you talking about republicans weren’t calling the play before 2020. Trump was going on about it for MONTHS if not over a year. Suspicious huh.

Thats not calling the play, thats scumbaggery voter manipulation, both sides were calling each other cheats for the entire run up... Trump wasnt calling out exacrly what would happen lol

Trump was constantly questioning mail in voting saying it is fraudulent and can’t be trusted and will lead to rigged elections etc etc and then what do you know, Trump uses that to contest the outcome of an election. How strange. It’s almost like he was lying the whole time and knew how it was going to go.

But hey, look, I can’t wait for you to post all the links and evidence you have with all the dodgy stuff going on in this recent race. I’m sure it will be very illuminating. I’ll be sure to make a new tin foil hat.

Im not sure about lying, but of course it was a tactic lol. The same way Dems said US would become a whote ethno state if he won...

You remember when i said i dislike politicians, as they are all self serving, Trump is part of that and will absolutely lie through his teeth to fet what he wants...

But which claim? Why do i consistently have to repeat questions?

No it’s not the same thing. lol. Not even close. I love the way you just casually say undermining the democratic process was just a strategy man, like, politicians do it all the time dude. lol. Errrr no. No they don’t.

Yes, Trump will lie through his teeth to get what he wants. He’ll even try and coup the government and lead an insurrection to overthrow an election result that went against him. But of course, all politicians do that don’t they. lol.

4th time, which claim?

I dont understand why you keep trying to revert to 2020, a stance you know i align with you on, in a discussion on the California Mayor run off?

Because you don’t align with me on it. You say you do but you don’t. You’re the “who knows” guy. The “just asking questions” guy. Just like you’re doing with this. You surely know deep down nothing has been rigged but you love it.

I would absolutely disagree that i love it, i literally wrote in the first post that i hoped thisnwouldnt cause disruption of peoples lives, we dont want anti ICE style violence and people getting hurt etc..

I also think theres a chance Trump or Republicans may have a hand in potential corruption, Pratt isnt a Republican really, all ive heard him talk about is LA reform, Fires, Homeless and drug use, and how inneffective Bass is. I think some major controversy here absolutely helps the Save Act get over the line

See it amazes me, you accuse me of faking claims, then run for the hills. If you have the opinion im wrong tell me, maybe ive made an error, or if youve made an error just say so...

I enjoy it much more you getting all worked up just like the “All Lives Matter” or the “useful idiots” thing. lol.
 


Not quite sure where else to put this. The S&P 500 has refused to take on SpaceX at the valuation Musk was proposing. The more you drill down into the numbers, the more incredible the whole valuation seems. The indexes that have let it in at the valuation proposed have basically decided to ignore the rules to enable it.

Thanl god. Space Xs debt is rising fast, the amount of investment in AI may well pay off for Musk, but the risk to passive investors is already increasing. This would also allow others to apply for waivers...

Not only are you a US political expert but also a finance pro.

Amazing talent!

What did you learn that is applicable?

How much exposure do you have to US equities markets?

I invest regularly, including in an S&P 500 index...

Not large sums, I'm just trying to put in now for my retirement, but enough to look up these things every so often.

So have you bothered to look up anything about this or just having a knee jerk response to anything 'Murica being questioned?

No. I rely on internet posters for all my financial advice.

What’s your current equity mix? Heavy on FTSE?

Want some gold?

Ragey Erasmus said:
I have considered buying valuable metals but probably won't, at least not in the foreseeable future. Given the possibility of the AI bubble bursting and the implications of that, owning some gold now would probably be a decent shout.

I'm thinking of it right now... although now "biting my elbows" that I didn't think of it a year ago
