I honestly don't pay enough attention to him to know. If he runs in 2028, we'll find out.

Well, gross because he's not even close to that guy. He was one of the candidates who was against Medicare for all. That's like step 1, the most fundamental thing to be progressive in this day and age.

We need the next FDR.

It's literally against the UCMJ to take part in political action as a uniformed member of the military. To me it sounds like she was trying to "cya" and of course, this administration has such thin skin that they couldn't have someone do that.

Ironically, that's part of the reason DOGE even exists. They do the same job, but congress has almost always ignored the GAO. The difference is that the GAO actually puts in the work and puts out good reports instead of just wrecking things.

Oh, he definitely won't see any consequences. He just made rich people richer. The rich only see consequences when they take money from other rich people.

Shorting is a legit thing though. There isn't another phrase for a clearly illegal version?

I was wondering if that's what he was doing. Is there a word for the reverse of a pump and dump? It seemed almost too obvious.

I fully expect him to try to change something, pull some underhanded thing like the VP switcheroo, or even try another insurrection (why not, he wasn't punished for the last one? ) but as of right now he can't run again.

That would be a natural cause. An elderly man dying of a heart attack is pretty natural.

Unless something changes, he can't run again.

I haven't lost anything. I haven't sold anything. You only actually realize a loss if you sell. I'm far enough from retirement that I'm essentially just buying the dip right now.
