Someone has, in fact, proposed that Trump would never have bombed Iran if Elon hadn't left him.

Seems plausible to me.

[OMOLIVES]

Lol..ok...that was straight from left field.

[janice shell]

He isn't a real populist, either. He's a greedy bastard who cares about nobody but himself. And he wants to be richer than Elon.

[OMOLIVES]

Yeah. I think that is the long term objective currently. I think they want to obtain that "long term" objective in the short term as well. He is certainly not a Hawk or anything close to it. But he is a Populist.

I'm just tired of all of it....every Country across the Globe. Wish everyone would just shut the f' up.

[janice shell]

Just remember: Trump said he wanted to be a "Man of Peace".

[OMOLIVES]

Yeah....far from his father. Of course...yet again...all of this shite' is due to the United Kingdom(just go back and look). So tired of being a protectorate. Enough of that....gonna' go watch some hoops..enjoy. :)

[janice shell]

I think we'll get a lengthy explanation. I'll be interested to hear from his wife and kids, too. I think the authorities are handling it very well, not allowing it to turn into a media circus.

[janice shell]

I know many are not all that into their religion, just as many people of other religions aren't all that into them. And I also know that Persians living here would love to see "regime change" in Iran.

There are still some people alive who remember Iran when it was an authoritarian, but "normal" place to live. Women have suffered a great deal; they'd also be enthusiastic about "regime change".

One of the problems with pre-revolutionary Iran was that the Shah was not a good leader, and not very bright.

[OMOLIVES]

Good point. I think the reason he didn't kill himself was due to his religious beliefs. Which makes him a hypocrite. A selfish one at that.

[OMOLIVES]

I actually do not think they will retaliate(but that would a be foolish thought..eh?). And to be honest..every Israeli, Persian ex-pats(and many nationals) and all of the Sunni Middle Eastern population(larger majority populations) is quietly overjoyed. So is Europe(GOVS).

I spoke with an old Farsi speaking friend today-known for 50 years. He never liked being called Iranian..and always used Persian in reference to anything. He broke down. Lol...we used to party together in high school and after. So many stories

He's still very tempered though. They had to bring his brother over here when the Shaw was disposed....but the joy is wonderful for him today. Hearing a grown man cry because of overwhelming happiness is another thing man. It just sucks you in :)

p.s. ..not all practicing Muslims are overly religious. We did cocaine, reefer et al together...lol. The son of a bitch always got laid too. More than I ever did..lol.

[janice shell]

It would probably be more expensive to try to condemn him to death, and then to cough up for all his appeals.

What I find extraordinary is that he didn't kill himself. Most of them do. Did he expect the people of Minnesota to rise up against the Democratic Party or something?

[OMOLIVES]

Well...I don't like the word facist being thrown around. But in this instance....that is close to who he is. He is a zealot, stemming once again from ideology. :)

In many ways, this zealot turned into a fascist given the political reference. I don't believe in capital punishment but I hate the thought of citizens paying for his room and board..and legal expenses.

[Hanibal]

Do you know anything? Serious question.

The "Good Germans" were those Germans who stayed silent in the face of the atrocities committed by the nazis. They claimed to not support the nazis, but stayed passive, doing and saying nothing. Like you.

I would have taken you 3 seconds to Google this info. It's not that hard. But I understand in your case that you wouldn't want to so you can claim ignorance.

[janice shell]

Bibi is pleased as punch. He's tried to talk every president in this century to do what Trump just did, and they all said "no",

So finally he got what he wanted, though the Iranians will retaliate against him as well as us.

[janice shell]

Well, yes. When a demented Christofascist kills two people, seriously injures two others, and has a list of 70 potential victims, it pisses me off.

Fortunately, he used a handgun, or the couple that were shot 17 times would have died.

[OMOLIVES]

Actually it was Netanyahu. I don't know who Nancy is but keep hearing her name. If she is a lawmaker than safe to say said person is an idiot.

I'm sure she stole it..like they all do :)

[OMOLIVES]

Pisses you off...eh? I have no idea why I am surprised anymore given that is the attention span of the public compounded with bullshit media pitching.

[janice shell]

I am quite sure your assumption is wrong, given that it's a quote from the utterly bizarre Nancy Mace.

[janice shell]

Your nonchalant wilfully-ignorant fence-sitting is telling.

I am perplexed by what seems to be his anxiety about any discussion even of politics as it affects the markets. He becomes quite agitated. I don't get it.

[janice shell]

Do you also understand that such brutality has already been forgotten?

I'm sure some have forgotten about it. I haven't, and the people of Minnesota haven't

[OMOLIVES]

Have an intercontinental bomber(plural) fly from US to Iran and drop bunker buster bombs onto a secured, buried nuclear facility. No other Nation has this type of deep, destructive bomb and only one other nation has the capability of flying an intercontinental bomber. That being Russia with the Tu-160.

The bombs are so heavy that the bomber can only carry two. So I am assuming that was what the reference is about.

[OMOLIVES]

Let me get this through that "ideological" head of yours. The day I said "no politics today" was the day that two lawmakers were brutally murdered and it was Flag day. Do you understand that? Do you also understand that such brutality has already been forgotten?

I stated something that literally happened yesterday-not opinionated and certainly nothing ideological or political.

There is fact and opinion. Political opinions are typically moot given the idiocy.

[janice shell]

Um, what was it Trump did that no one else could ever do?

[janice shell]

Oh snap! Did anyone say Trump is an idiot? It probably didn't take longer than an afternoon of intense flattery to agree to Bibi's novel idea.

I'm sure it made him feel like a MAN!!

[Hanibal]

You're accusing me of doing what you did. Post a politics related topic. Good job.

[OMOLIVES]

NO...I just stated a fact. I never picked a side. That would just be senseless.

[Hanibal]

Uh what? Your own post was politics-themed. I responded to it. Nobody was talking politics today until you did.

[OMOLIVES]

That's weird man...sorry. Just weird shite' to me....you gotta' get off that politico' crap man. It makes you stupid.

[hedge_fun]

The ball is now in Iran’s court. Surely…..

Iran knows they just need to play nice for about 3 1/2 years and President Trump will be gone (unless he decides to run again….wink wink) and another career politician will be chosen to be King, I mean President and let Iran do as they wish, and probably give them billion$ along the way.

At least we set them back a few years!

[Hanibal]

Good job America. Especially you, Maga nazis

[OMOLIVES]

Welp...looks like the big bombs just dropped........ by us.

Yes, crypto is a source of riches for many people, honest and not so honest. Now including our president and his family, who are literally making billions.

And the SEC's policy is to take considerable interest, but to kill all the enforcement proceedings started under the last administration.

[buyittradeit]

I see you have posted over 34000 since my last visit here. Yeah, not reading all that. But stopping in to say hey and hope all is well. Tell me though, have these fake meme coins drained the fake companies out here? Seems the con artist can go crypto without half the trouble pennies do.

[janice shell]

Oh yes. They've been doing that for a while.

[davidsson10]

There's even a cottage industry of speculative traders focused on routinely trading MULN splits, for crying out loud.....

[janice shell]

Nasdaq says it has made it harder in recent years for risky companies to remain listed on its exchange. In January, for instance, Nasdaq accelerated the process for delisting some companies whose share price falls under $1.

And MULN continues do do reverse splits...

The kind of scams the article warns against seem pretty plain vanilla. Weird as it may seem to us, there're a lot of people who've never heard of pumpadumps created by company insiders.

Boeing’s Air Force One production is facing continued delays because the manufacturer can’t consistently hire and retain mechanics

Boeing’s Air Force One project has fallen years behind schedule and billions of dollars over budget amid continued labor and design hiccups. The Government Accountability Office said in a report this week that “ongoing design issues, modification rework, and workforce challenges” are still plaguing the manufacturer. The Trump administration has resorted to procuring a $400 million jet from Qatar to serve as the interim Air Force One.
Boeing is continuing to battle production issues plaguing the jets that will serve as Air Force One, according to the Government Accountability Office (GAO).

The Pentagon told the congressional auditors that “ongoing design issues, modification rework, and workforce challenges slowed the progress toward modifying two Boeing 747-8 aircraft into presidential aircraft,” a report released Wednesday said.

The United States, under President Donald Trump, signed a $3.9 billion contract with Boeing in 2018 to have two planes designed, modified, and tested to serve as Air Force One by 2024, but persistent delays have pushed the project past its delivery date.

Have a nice day wasting one of your 3 a day.

[Buckey]

I really like those odds. The reality is you have a far higher chance of crashing on the way to or from the airport than you would ever have once on a plane of any sort.

First problem in over 5 million successful flights for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

Alfred Nobel did NOTT invent TNT, he invented dynamite, which is just a stabilization composition of nitroglycerine (which was discovered by a 'Talyun chemist).

TNT (trinitrotoluene) was invented by a German chemist, originally intended as a dye. it is also useful as a short-term (acute use) vasodilator.

Einstein did nott invent the atomic fission bomb nor did he invent or discover nuclear fission or the basic idea that nuclear fission might be usable to generate explosions.

Stick to filosofee and grumbling. Science isn't your bailiwick. Think of science as your friend that you've never met.

Obscure Chinese Stock Scams Dupe American Investors by the Thousands

[janice shell]

I agree about that. Gensler just sailed ahead trying to shut down everything crypto. It wasn't going away, and it just pissed people off. And unfortunately, when the Commission redefined "dealer", it also failed to say anything at all about toxic lenders.

We now see the results. Fife, of course, would have fought forever. He's very combative.

[1manband]

I disagree that everyone else at the SEC is happy to appease the toxic lenders. I don't think they are at all. I also don't think it is accurate to say that what is happening is due to anyone making nice with the toxic lenders, or has anything to do with Trump. After all, this situation really unraveled while Biden was still in office, and the initial moves against the toxic lenders through the dealer definition began under Trump, Clayton and Peirce. There is undoubtedly a lot about the current administrations' actions at the SEC to dislike, but this isn't one of them. You can't pin this on them. The SEC tried to extend the definition too far and an adverse court ruling made their position untenable. They could have stayed and fought like Crenshaw wanted, but frankly I can clearly see why the SEC pulled back and retrenched to shift their emphasis to a new point of attack instead of getting bogged down slogging it out on appeals for years.

Overall, I am damn disappointed about how this ended up. But I can't say I am surprised. I knew that Gensler's stubborn and misguided refusal to create any new laws or even basic guidelines for crypto was not going to end well, but I never expected it to overturn the successes they had with the toxic lenders. But it did.

[janice shell]

The SEC has not given up, they are just changing their point of attack.

Then that's good to hear, and would at least to some extent explain the unusually language that appeared in the litigation notice.

But how can they keep at it, considering they have only one commissioner left, and everyone else is happy to please the toxic lenders, and even happier too please anyone involved with crypto in any way?

[davidsson10]

Yet, to Commissioner Crenshaw's chagrin, it doesn't count quite enough.
