10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
This would not work if it wasn’t for the millions of absolutes dumbfuck people who gamble on outcomes they don’t have insider info on
I don't think it's exactly that. With normal administrations you can usually believe then when they say they're in talks and close to reaching an agreement. Here it should be very clear by this point to even the most gullible that Trump is just lying about it constantly. Someone suggested it's algorithmic trading looking at news articles that still tend to present Trump's every proclamation as serious at play
Corruption and grift is what's going on..duh
No way!
Make all payouts over $1000 fully public record. Period. There should be ZERO anonymity for anyone who profits from this.
Maybe we deserve to go extinct
I think of Adama's question in the beginning of the 2003 BSG series.
"Why are we, as a people, worth saving?"
At this point, my only answer is that we aren't.
That's a really weird spelling for traitors.....
Massive corruption
What's going on? Business as usual, that's what. Why do you think these guys worked so hard to steal the power? It's not complicated, looting America down to the floorboards has always been the entire plan.
It's funny because they think they are just going to get to keep their ill gotten gains and nothing will happen after that.
Oh yeah, that is a core MAGA trait: they NEVER think about Step 2, or Consequences.
Like when he bombed Iran, and said it was over in the first hour. Then a few weeks later, he was on TV saying "Who knew that they'd shoot back?" Literally EVERYBODY knew! That's why all those weak, cowardly past presidents, not any other world power, did what Trump allowed Israel to do, and bully him into the stupidest war in American history, and that's saying something.
They think their overwhelming force, ferocious intimidation, and God's blessing, will force everyone to bow to their Divine Might, and they are constantly surprised when they get slapped across the face. As it turns out, they are arrogantly inept, and it's obvious to absolutely everybody. We're fighting against them as hard as possible (or some of us, not S & J), but it's pretty clear that they'll eventually collapse under the weight of their own virtuosic ignorance.
People betting on shit like this are dumber than doorknobs. Signing up to getting robbed voluntarily. Gambling in general is stupid but this is especially stupid.
It isn't gambling if you know what the outcome is going to be.
If the people betting on these polymarket shares were in a casino, they would have been escorted out long ago.
I'm talking about regular people, not people with insider knowledge. Regular people betting on this shit are just voluntarily transferring their wealth to powerful people with insider knowledge and influence.
This entire administration needs to go to prison.
... to be held before...
Corruption at its best!
Traders placed over $1bn in perfectly timed bets on the Iran war.
It's spelled "traitors"
insider traitoring?
Traders placed over $1bn in perfectly timed bets on the ~~Iran~~ traitors war.

Am I doing this right?
traitors traitors buffalo buffalo buffalo traitors
Traders placed over $1bn traitors' perfectly timed bets on the Iran war.
FTFY
capitalism. this is just the owning classes playing games.
USA is profiting off of fake wars for half a century is what's going on?
Trump is just making it blatantly obvious because nobody ever tried to hold them accountable before.
"WhAt Is GoInG oN???¿‽"
Followed by that article. Horrific journalism.
Was that supposed to be read in Xandir’s voice? Cuz that definitely played in my head in Xandir’s voice hahaha
"is the constant and obvious corruption exactly as it seems? Read more to find out. Also Kraft Mac and cheese is $2.99 at Walmart this weekend!"
Say what? Is kraft past its date still good? At least milk and butter is still cheap....right?
Food shortages got you feeling down? Looking for a reminder of good times? After the break we'll reveal the best thickening methods for coldbrew Mac. Adding body to the cheese-water really sells the experience!
I figure if it's a dry powder, it should be good.
What do you mean "What is going on?". It's Capitalism at it's best, converting peoples missery into proffit. In USA they found the way to convert peoples stupidity into profit. When you calculate how many idiots are living in USA profits are huge. For that Donald Trump deserve Nobel Prize in Economics.
"we built a public gambling app that you can gamble on anything with that has little to no guardrails" "why are people using our gambling app for insider trading a war????"
Prediction markets are the insider trader's wet dream. Enjoy while it's unregulated and offshore!
Pretty easy to guess what's goimg on.
And Kalshi and Polymarket don't care because they make money regardless. But this is a national security threat. Other countries just need to check the odds and who is betting and can get free and easy intelligence
Whats going on? It is called treason and Market manipulation.
Kind of funny that it was comparatively peanuts on polymarket and then 1 billion on oil futures and everybody is talking about the prediction markets. Especially kalshi who are mostly just catching strays here. It's hard to even find anybody pointing at specific suspicious trades on kalshi when they do KYC and ban people they catch insider trading.
So Iran can watch the betting markets for signals of imminent attacks
A lot of these trades were timed to occur very close to the fact. It would be easier to just characterize this administration as prone to occasional random behaviours and sudden movements. Like an angry little monkey.
We’re so fucking stupid, man.
Disgusting.
