biggest one-day gain since 2008
Not insider trading, no. It is market manipulation though and should probably be punishable by the largest SEC fine in history ^but ^it ^won't

Learned this trick from Elon.
^no way^
Americans getting a first row experience of living in a Balkan kleptocracy during the 90s.
Genocidal civil war when?
We deserve it.
No the fuck we don't. No one deserves this shit.
My empathy would agree with you, but — while I'm well aware that racism and fascism are a product of ignorance, stupidity, poor education, and propaganda, all class warfare waged by Americas plutocrats — I also logically can't see any way out of this, any way to deprogram the nazis, without the average American feeling pain; the same kind of pain America has inflicted on dozens of countries, and hundreds of millions of people, over the last century... So much instability, suffering, and political violence that they ultimately reject neoliberalism and conservatism, and revolt against the plutocrats that created this mess.
You can't realistically "deprogram" tens of millions of MAGA. WW2 resulted in an ideological "cleansing" — a de-nazification — of the European population. So yeah... America will continue to devolve and regress until some sort of reset occurs, for better or for worse.
Yeah, there is no easy way out of this. And so long as it continues millions upon millions of people both inside and outside of the US will suffer. But that doesn't mean we deserve this just for being born here.
Minorities in America shouldn't have to fear being put in a concentration camp. Workers in America shouldn't have to have their rights stripped from them,. Kids shouldn't be put in a situation where they have to work in a meat processing plant, they shouldn't have their chance at an education taken away from them. Trans americans shouldn't have to face being pushed entirely out of public life.
All of this is fucking wrong, saying that we deserve it implies that we shouldn't fight it. And we absolutely fucking should fight it; if we don't it won't just be us Americans who suffer.
We "deserve" it in the same way that we "deserved" the 9/11 attacks. I'm not saying the people that will be hurt from this literally deserve it. I'm being hyperbolic to make a point about Blowback and the consequences of American Imperialism.
American Empire deserves to crumble and fall is essentially what I mean.
I think you're right - to an extent. You may not deserve this. Americans might not deserve this. Any other arbitrarily defined group of people may not deserve it.
But humanity as a whole? We are a disgusting scourge on this earth, and we probably deserve everything that's coming to us. The current situation is just a reflection of overaching dynamics of greed, lies and self-righteousness that have always been with us.
I realize this is basically an absurd notion of collective reaponsibility. At the same time, we have no one to blame for our species' toxic psychopathic behavior but the species as a whole. If we had any decency left we would just delete ourselves as quietly and staightforwardly as possible.
But what if we could still be the stepping stone to something better?
That's the hope. But what if there is an event horizon beyond which that hope is lost forever. Are we even in control of ourselves?
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
They’re still trying to draw and quarter our man Luigi, where the hell is Mario?
where the hell is Mario?
Why not you?
Because as his name indicates, he is like Ford Prefect in his desire to survive and not be sentenced for first-degree murder.
He is also like Zaphod Beeblebrox in how he lacks the self-awareness to think other people shouldn't share this desire quite as strongly, but rather should put their lives in danger to accomplish what would make him happy.
He should run for president

It's market manipulation.
Sixteen of the first, a dozen and a third of the later.
Unrelated but I still find it incredibly stupid that he would choose @realXyz instead of just @xyz on the platform that HE controls.
I think it just made sense to keep the same handle as he had in Twitter. Also I guess he somehow finds it "cool"
It's not insider trading. It's market manipulation. Still a crime, but nothing will be done about it regardless.
Not how you use this meme
He's basically like HODL as he pauses and unpauses tariffs so billionaires can buy the dip and sell before he tweets. I miss the GME days where the little guy was winning against the big guy.
AND there's a shitty version of Keith Gill, and he's the fucking PRESIDENT? Man, this timeline has everything…
art of the deal,lol
Lol that blonde demon bitch of a press secretary even had the balls to pull out that line during the announcement yesterday... Insanity
She’s smart and knows what she’s talking about.
Please, could you provide a link. I try to spend as little time watching them talk as I can.
Here you go, straight from our friends at Fox News... link
https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/07/25/donald-trumps-ghostwriter-tells-all
The guy who co-wrote the book has been bad mouthing Trump for decades. Tony Schwartz got one of the best deals in publishing history; he was a 'ghostwriter' who got full credit and half the profits. He could have riden Trump's coat tails but noped out once the check cleared.
2 of 2, thanks for the link.
I wasn't aware he had said that, but I independently concluded it actually was a good time to buy and increased my main position. Nothing earth shattering, but I did feel like an absolute genius for like 10 minutes while having my morning coffee today.
Same. Threw what extra money I had into some reliable stocks. Did the same thing during Covid too, and it worked out pretty well for me. It feels a bit like I'm a crisis vampire, but I just don't want to be working anymore when I hit 60.
I’m sure you felt like a “very stable genius” 😉
Its rebounding right back down though.
Looks like he wants the lemmings to buy enmasse so the whales can sell without bleeding.
Is it peace in Ukraine yet?
Wtf are we supposed to buy?
Eggs 🥚
$MELANIA fapcoins of course
No buy, only sell.
Billionaires are like puppies with a tennis ball, except the puppy is smart enough to be trained.
I thought DJT had already been bought out by russia and the billionaires?
Somebody made a better offer.
Nah son, it's called the art of the deal
Add the '/s' because you know that's exactly what his people are saying.
"He just trolled some rich folks, I thought you Libs wanted to build guillotines? He's never done anything bad to his own people!"
Yeah, I was basically mocking Leavitt. And /s should probably be my signature
It’s only insider trading if Trump is on the outside.
Yes
