“the biggest horse, many people are saying it, they came up to me with tears in their eyes, big strong greek men and they say, sir, we finally have a big horse now”

“They have great architecture, you know that? I’m a builder, I know good architecture. I built several successful buildings. But Sleepy Joe, he liked the olives, and we don’t like those anymore. People told me that Ares is the guy, but I don’t know. We’re looking into it”

“We were doing so bad before I took over. They were saying “it’s a ten year war and you haven’t won it” so I told them we were gonna do something different. I’ll end it on day one. That’s why the horse is so important, dumocrats never thought about the horse”

“It’s such a big horse, the biggest horse anyone has ever seen, many people are saying it’s the best horse of all, other presidents tried to get such a big horse but they never managed it, who knows why? But we got such a big horse and we’re bringing it inside and it’s going to be so nice”

Democrats continually shoot themselves in the foot. And they had a real shot at Maine’s Senate seat.

The whole Platner thing is a disaster. It only leaves a slim margin to win back the senate.

But you go with the guy with as SS tattoo and get you what you get I suppose.

Fair enough what sort of low life would take out the leader of a nation?

Is that question for real???

You do know the USA committed a war crime by bombing/killing not only “the leader of a nation” but many other leaders of the nation while they were meeting to discuss truce proposals. That is a war crime.

So join the dots so you can figure out “what sort of low life would take out the leader of a nation”.

Of course you could also consider the sort of low life that the CIA has employed/supported over many decades.

I check in on this thread every now and then. It is very one sided at the moment (Understanably). What happened to the Trump supporters? Have they changed their tune? Or do they avoid the thread? Have any of them admitted they were wrong? Or misled?

Reuters, from the same article.

  • Trump himself is heavily exposed to the market. In the first three months of 2026, his investment accounts completed 3,600 stock trades worth between $212 million and $695 million, according to his financial disclosures.
  • Critics accuse ​Trump of reversing major policy decisions after market declines, ⁠including rolling back parts of his trade war after stocks plunged following its announcement.
  • Roughly 40% of the country owns no stock at all, according to Gallup polling.For the bottom half of households, wealth is more likely tied ​to real estate and durable goods, leaving their short-term personal finances largely unaffected by stock market growth.
