If it’s the area we saw, with all the trees on a steep slope above gone, looks like it could get cleared again…and again.

It’s more accurate to say investors drew down about 90%. But that’s bc his track record stank. Merely investing in the S&P 500 over 5 years was 8X better and a lot cheaper.

I just watched the video of the Portland Cop threatening to arrest an ICE agent if they drive their truck through a crowd. Now I see this where the General of the Oregon National Guard says if they get called up they will protect the protesters. People are fed up.

Oregon general’s testimony that National Guard troops ‘will be protecting any protesters’ gains traction online

Brigadier General Alan R. Gronewold made the comments to state lawmakers Sept. 30, and they drew notice on social media this week.

A bogus indictment only harms the reputations of Trump, Bondi, etc.
“[James] must have had the intent to use the property for a purpose other than as a secondary residence at the time of signing.”…no way to prove it.

The Rutgers TPUSA chapter — whose characterization of a historian there as a “outspoken, well-known antifa member” led to death threats and moving his family to Europe — think *other* people are being “blatantly defamatory.”

Not them, though. They’re doing politics the right way.

This is part of why I so distrust Mark Zuckerberg, given his track record of exploitation: “…a personal superintelligence that helps you achieve your goals, create what you want to see in the world, be a better friend and grow to become the person that you aspire to be.”

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?
