      Distraction is a primary job of capitalist media. Even better if it’s attacking a marginalized group. Always has been.

    This should be considered an act of war by…everyone, really. Everyone should pull their stuff out of the US market, be they ordinary Americans, Norweigian oil bonds, or German gold.

    Trump will pull this shit again, he has a pattern of pulling the rug, and will keep doing so long after there is no more rug.

      I was just talking to my coworker at lunch that I’ll create an account and buy the dip. By the time we got back to our desks, I saw the news of the pause and everything shot up.

      I bought the dip once, years ago. Made like, I donno. Couple hundred bucks. Sold all my crypto at the same time. That was cumulative with the other thing. Made a couple hundred bucks.

    100%, its incredibly obvious.

    No, I was watching the bond market. The bond market is very tricky. I was watching it, but if you look at it now, it’s — it’s beautiful. The bond market right now is beautiful. But, yeah, I saw last night where people were getting a little queasy.”

    He has like 30 something felonies and openly admitted to rigging the voting computers. The man could commit murder on stage and still somehow continue being president.

        Parent commenter may be recalling this story but not sure

        Beginning at 2:31:24, the full quote reads:

        [Musk] journeyed to Pennsylvania where he spent like a month and a half campaigning for me in Pennsylvania, and he’s a popular guy, and he was very effective. And he knows those computers better than anybody, all those computers, those vote counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like, in a landslide, so it was pretty good, it was pretty good. So, thank you to Elon.

      He did? We have him on tape trying to get votes that didn’t exist, but haven’t heard much about voting computers being rigged.

              I’m not implying you do, just acknowledging what you say is very different than what someone else says. Also not saying I don’t believe you, I do.

      Get that “who cares” attitude out of here.

        Ignorance is bliss friend. At this point there isn’t much I can do but to protect mine and myself. We’re in a limbo period where folks aren’t mad enough to revolt, but are mad enough to be pissed off. We need to get a whole lot angrier before real action can happen. Holding up signs and being annoying isn’t going to affect real change with these people. So until the populace is at the angrier stage of things I don’t care to hear about all the illegal things the Trump admin does, I can’t possibly hate this guy more than I already do. All this info does is piss me off and ruin my day.

          Five million Americans protested on April 5th.

          Maybe if people like you actually showed instead of burying your head in the sand we’d have the results you are craving.

          If you are on the side of Justice, your stance is the wrong one to take.

          Solidarity is the right way forward. Take a break when it gets to be too much, but you cannot tune out just because you are upset.

              I can only assume you are all bots meant to discourage people from protesting, and others would be wise to report and call out these accounts.

              What does protesting even do?

              1. That’s five million Americans standing in solidarity.

              2. That’s five million Americans connecting, organizing, and sharing resources.

              3. That’s five million Americans not shopping or working that day.

              4. That’s five million Americans being inspired to run for office and support others who are.

              5. These protests are only going to get bigger and bigger as the word spreads.

              Join them, or STFU about how nobody is doing anything.

                That’s the problem with people like you. You just assume someone that doesn’t agree with your ineffective BS isn’t a real person. Keep protesting if you want IDC, but don’t be deluded into believing that will amount to real change against people that want those like us dead. Fascists don’t respond to peaceful protesting. Boycotting is much more effective than hitting the streets with signs. These cretins only respond to monetary loss.

                  Guess what?

                  Boycotting instructions and lists of MAGA businesses to avoid are spread at the protests.

                  Maybe you would know that if you actually attended one instead of being lambasted on the internet over your idiocy.
