The same people who's mantra was "back the blue" immediately pivoted to "back the blue...except the ones trying to stop an insurrection at the Capitol, fuck those guys." This was the moment that confirmed that MAGA is a cult, choosing violent criminals over police officers. All for their leader.

Trump was first impeached after he tried to extort Zelensky. He wanted Ukraine to announce it was investigating Joe Biden It was a lie-cooked up by Putin. Trump knew it. So did members of Congress like Jim Jordan and Ron Johnson, plus Fox hosts like Hannity This is fraud There must be prosecutions

The reason Obama used water from the river for the reflecting pool and not city water is because city water is treated with orthophosphates, which is food for algae, causing massive blooms that produce cyanotoxins that kill wildlife.

Private index providers — the powerful firms that determine which companies are included in major stock indexes — have created new fast-track rules that pave the way for SpaceX to be added to the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100. Open fraud. Stealing your retirement. #Pump&Dump #EndOligarchy #EndCapitalism

Listen, I'm a big "the index is the index" guy, but they are openly looting the coffers.
This is 100% fraud.

Hedgeye @Hedgeye
Rule changes for the SpaceX $SPCX IPO:
Index providers waived the profitability requirement and cut the seasoning window from 90 days to 5.
This forces over $30 trillion in passive 401k and retirement money to buy Spacex at IPO valuations.

Can you even imagine the audacity of demanding a raise when average Americans cannot afford gas, food, or healthcare? The average net worth in Congress (senate & house) is over a million dollars. They get the very best, free healthcare & free meals. They work only 3-4 days a week. NO RAISES!
