If Newsom or whomever is the best chance to take the White House from Trump/Vance or whatever Christian Nationalist, techno-fuedal billionaire fascist we dream, I'm all in. Fuck you and your purity tests. Without freedom and democracy, trans people have no chance in hell.

The same people saying they won't vote for Newsom because he isn't outright supporting the trans community are the same people who would have sat out on Obama bc he didn't openly embrace gay marriage. Miss me with the bullshit, sanctimonious virtue signaling purity tests.

Anybody who said this divorce was going to quiet and cordial for fear of mutual assured destruction was dead wrong.

Well, now we know what the plane was a gift for. Betrayed them with the withdrawal his first admin drew up. Betrayed them by letting Isis fighters out of prison. Betrays them by feeding them to the wolves.

Are we sure it isn't just another tariff extortion racket? Because he sure likes to use tariffs the way mobsters use violence to extort businesses.

Thank you for the many kind words today. I am very close to announcing a gubernatorial run. To win Florida, the Democratic nominee will need to genuinely unify and inspire a coalition of Democrats, independents, and common sense Republicans. I am committed to doing my part as a Florida Democrat.

A president who wants to go back to ZIRP. It's just as simple (and asinine) as that.

And extremely punitive for small businesses that don't have the resources to get a carve out, let alone a platform to plead their case.

So fourteen more senators. More pain needed for that to happen... a lot more.

I'm dubious. I'm saying dead cat bounce until proven otherwise. Key word hasset said was "considering"

I don't think this is a today problem, but in the next few years -- keep note -- the SPX is parabolic As @walterdeemer.bsky.social notes, parabolic advances can go higher and longer than expected but they don't correct sideways. Cc @hmeisler.bsky.social

Reminder: social security is an annuity. It's a very successful, well run, contractual obligation between you and the government. You pay your money in for an expected rate of return.

How many times did I see on Shark Tank some entrepreneur would try this and every single Shark turned their nose at the investment for just that reason: The costs will be prohibitive. Smart business people understand price elasticity in the marketplace.

What does that have to do with what I said? The US stock market looks at US stocks. That hasn't changed in 96 years.

I'm probably dead wrong, but I feel like he's going to pivot by Monday morning. The optics of this are becoming embarrassing.

Which is exactly how the market crashed in 1929 even though Smoot-Hawley tariffs weren't enacted until 1930

Just a refreshing thought. When the economy tanks the market will start to rise again. Why? Rate cuts!!

thebegonis.bsky.social @thebegonis.bsky.social · 02/04/2025

Because it's a willingness to stand up to a bully. Hopefully some moderates and dem senators find their spines and stand alongside.

I spoke to an expert in authoritarianism, who explained to me that things like this are extremely meaningful and they help protect democracy, even if there’s not a straight line between this and actual legislating
