Uncanny impersonation of Kamala Harris, better known as 'Heels Up'. Works on so many levels: the banal meaninglessness of her words; the outbreaks of inappropriate cackling at random intervals; the soulless dead fish eyes, hated by democrats and republicans alike. No wonder they're trying desperately to keep Sleepy Joe breathing.

Your portfolio is so you. You think it is so well diversified but everything you own goes down when the Fed raises rates....

Yes, my portolio is adequately diversified to weather a temporary inflationary period.

Then you pull the SNL and Gilda Radner thing 5 X in your post where you go off on some trivia that I got wrong when I did not even say it.Joe Kennedy was NOT SEC chairman. WTF?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_P._Kennedy_Sr.

Look at 3. 1.

.....
Presidents campaign on a lot of things. When they get in office and they announce and implement their policies, that is when it is smart to invest or not invest alongside them. I was happy to invest in Obama's oil policies and have been happy to be short Biden's.

Except you didn't short Biden's policies. Not until more than a year later. Anyone can be a Monday morning quarterback, even you. If you really believed Biden's policies were wrong for the country and the markets, why didn't you initiate your short position on Inauguration Day?

LOL. Okay, Gilda. The insight I have is you are a birdbrain falling for the same crap as sold in 2008.
You have high quality REITs just like those high quality MBS. Why don't these REITs just double the rent on all their clients and double their income and yield? You make it sound like that has no downside.

Do you know what a REIT is? Do you know how they operate? There are about 20 different categories of REITs and they are not all the same.

REITs can't double the rents. They have this old-fashioned legal document called a lease. You may have heard of it. That legal agreement documents what the rental payments are and how much they increase each year.

Thing with you V is I argued that shutting down the economy based on the whim of health care officials was wrong. We knew lockdowns would destroy the economy but we did not know if they would do any good with regards to saving lives. Thing is that despite objective data showing lockdowns did nothing to prevent damage from Covid, you dumb Dems still believe that they did.

And now you do not get that part of the bill racked up with all that Covid debt is due. The only difference is now there is a scorecard, and I am up 50% and you are down 20%. Your lying about the score card is not surprising. What else can you do? Admit you are wrong? LOL.

I always know when I have blistered a narcissist (that would be you Elvis). When you veer completely off topic and start talking about Covid, and start calling people names. That is when I know you are frustrated and feeling inadequate.

Remind me, who was it that predicted that absolutely the deaths from Covid would not exceed 80,000 in the US. (They topped 1 million a while back). Who claimed Sweden was a great model to follow. They didn't lockdown while their neighbors all did. Well enough time has passed. What does the evidence show (Worldometer) Sweden had nearly 2 times as many deaths per capita from Covid compared to Denmark (a much more densely populated country). Nearly 3 times as many deaths per capita as Finland and 4 times as many deaths per capita as Norway.

GOP observers forcibly removed from counting centers in democrat shithole cities. Windows boarded up to prevent people seeing in. Counts stopped at midnight with Trump miles ahead, while they worked out how many votes Biden needed, then a few hours later pallots of hundreds of thousands, 98% for Biden, mysteriously show up from. Who knows where? Well, Dinesh the'Souza might have found out in his excellent documentary 2000 Mules, which showed part of the democrat mail-in ballot collection scam.

Why do no other serious countries have mass mail-in ballots? France just had a national presidential election. It was in-person voting on paper ballots on election day (with rare exceptions for overseas military personnel, sick / housebound people, all arranged and verified beforehand) and the results were released the same night. Why can't America have a presidential election like that, as in most other countries? We all know the answer, of course.

All of these fallacies have been debunked by Republicans in charge of elections. And they have been debunked by the audits conducted by Republicans. But sure, bring up "2000 Mules" again becauser it, too, has been debunked by professionals who know what they're talking about.

Now, to your other question. "Why do no other serious countries have mass mail-in ballots?" Because those other countries have elections controlled by the Federal government in some fashion. In most European countries, one is automatically registered to vote when one turn 18. In France, one isn't, which is why France has some of the lowest voter turnout rates in Europe. https://www.france24.com/en/europe/2...-of-abstention.

But more to the point, why don't we look at our neighbor to the south, Mexico. In Mexico, there is not much mail-in voting, that's true. But in Mexico, the Federal Government is in charge of elections. How voter registration is done and how voting is done is enshrined in the Mexican Constitution. The way to register to vote is in the Constitution. The documents required are in there also. The INE (voter ID card) is provided by the Federal government. When you show up to your polling place, they have a voter roll with a photo (provided by the Federal government also) and you are required to show your INE. But, also enshrined in the Mexican Constitution, is the fact that there is one polling place for every 1500 people. As is the fact that election day in Mexico is on a Sunday and election day is also a federal holiday. Many businesses that are usually open on a Sunday (like restaurants) are closed on election day because of the high salary costs (triple time?) of requiring people to work on that day.

But I'd be willing to bet money that you and the rest of the tRUMPers here would object mightily to a Mexican-style system in the US. After all, you'd rather complain about how states should have the right to say that a hunting license is fine as proof of residency but that a college ID isn't. Or that closing all but one polling place in a county is perfectly OK and that requiring somebody to take time off from an hourly job and drive 2 hours in order to vote is fine. Or that mail-in ballots are somehow fraudulent just because they are mail-in ballots. Because, you know, it is very easy for someone who doesn't have a clue as to what your signature looks like to forge your signature.

I don't know what is worse, that you actually have the stone to post such nonsense or that you actually believe what you posted.

You classic Repubs always want to cut taxes disproportionately deep on the rich, scam everyone else that their taxes are being cut really great too and this is all for them, then virtually without exception the Repub economy plunges into a massive jobs destroying Great Repub Crash and Recession.

California has no shortage of wealthy people happy to live there and pay taxes. Obviously, the revenue and record budget surpluses reflect this. It is a GOOD THING to have budget surpluses available to cover costs and keep the economy growing even during "rainy day" eras of inevitable Great Repub Recessions.

Yes, I realize a classic Hoover / Reagan / Bush / Trump Repub like you sees a surplus as an excuse to give the poor put upon wealthiest "a refund" so they can become even wealthier at the expense of everyone else. But when the next Great Repub Crash, Recession and Massive Jobs Destruction follows hot on that move's heels as it always does, there will be no money in the till for that very rainy day and then it will require huge deficit spending government intervention to pull us out of it, triggering the usual inflation issues and on and on.

Which is a pattern you classic Repubs apparently love to repeat over and over and over again.

Yes they are all so altruistic.

How about they do something about that homeless issue LOL.

Oh wait they don't give a fuck junkies are shitting all over the place like the 3rd world shithole that it is.

What you are describing is Keynesian economics. Sadly the Republican politicos all believe that if you keep giving the rich tax breaks and more tax breaks, everything will work out.

Deficits only matter when a Democrat is in the White-House. But when a Republican is in tenancy, and tax breaks are contemplated. Well then, deficits don't matter. I think the Greeks had a word for that. Hypocrisy.

Or perhaps the news media evaluated these claims from "Sky News Australia" and found them lacking in substance.

They are not "claims". It is a verified voice message from Sleepy Joe to Heroin Hunter. It proves that he was deeply involved with Hunter's dubious business deals ("10% for the big guy") and that he lied when he stated that he knew nothing about them.

We have prima facie evidence, from his own mouth, that the sitting president lied about a serious, potentially criminal matter. And yet most of the mainstream media is refusing even to mention it. Why?

Because they are fake news.

Or perhaps the news media evaluated these claims from "Sky News Australia" and found them lacking in substance.

Your youtube piece is from Sky News Australia which is owned by News Corp. Rupert Murdoch has 39% voting power over this corporation and they also own and operate Fox News. I'm sure you weren't aware but all of News Corp's media subsidiaries would be classified as ultra-conservative and journalistic integrity is not their hallmark.

Right, Biden's voice mail is "lacking substance", and the problem with Biden obviously lying is Rupert Murdoch. How dare he not cover up Biden's lies?

If you really wanted to look at corruption you might ask why Donald Trump never divested his business interests while he was in office as required by the Emoluments Clauses.

So Biden's lying is nothing compared to what Trump did?

Or how the Trump children sponsored charity fund raisers at their Trump Organization properties and charged a exorbitant percentage of the donations as "fees".

So now the problem with Biden lying is Murdoch, Trump, and Trump's children. The problem with you V is you have not found a way to add in Putin and Hitler.

If the Bidens are / have been corrupt, well then buddy, they are Bush league compared to the Trump crime family.

If? Thing with the Bidens is you do not have to prove anything. You just let the Bidens do the talking. Hell, Hunter's own laptop was chock full of dirt that the Trump children would have been crucified over.

Not that it matters, but the last I checked Trump was not president but you Dems cannot quit him. Where would you all be without blaming Trump for all your ills?

[Villainy]

Just in case anyone was silly or brainwashed enough to think Joe Biden wasn't lying when he claimed to have no idea of Hunter's dubious business dealings in Ukraine and China ("ten percent for the big guy" a voicemail from Sleepy Joe to Heroin Hunter has just been leaked showing that he was deeply involved.

Unsurprisingly, the fake news media has ignored this bombshell. Which is, of course, why they are known as fake news.

Or how the Trump children sponsored charity fund raisers at their Trump Organization properties and charged a exorbitant percentage of the donations as "fees". Or how Trump directed that many international meetings were held at Mar-a-Lago charging excessive fees for guests and for Trump and his required Secret Service detail. (This falls under the Emoluments clause). I could go on and on and on.

If the Bidens are / have been corrupt, well then buddy, they are Bush league compared to the Trump crime family.

[Elvis 2008]

Now as to your specious claim of having shorted the market at just the right point. Seriously Elvis, do you think anyone believes you??

LOL. I posted when I bought, what, and why I bought what I did. Why would anyone trust you when you are such a lazy ass you do not look that up? Better yet, why would anyone trust you when you are getting your ass handed to you?

Your portfolio is so you. You think it is so well diversified but everything you own goes down when the Fed raises rates.

Then you pull the SNL and Gilda Radner thing 5 X in your post where you go off on some trivia that I got wrong when I did not even say it. Joe Kennedy was NOT SEC chairman. WTF?

Then there is the "high quality" BS. 20% of the triple short SQQQ that I own are shorts on Apple. I would be hard pressed to name a more "high quality" company that Apple, yet Apple has tanked. Why?

Presidents campaign on a lot of things. When they get in office and they announce and implement their policies, that is when it is smart to invest or not invest alongside them. I was happy to invest in Obama's oil policies and have been happy to be short Biden's.

Of course, if he were incredibly well read on how our mortgage loan lending worked and how mortgages were sold and securitized

LOL. Okay, Gilda. The insight I have is you are a birdbrain falling for the same crap as sold in 2008.

Most of these are Triple-Net lease REITs which means that typical costs are borne by the tenants and there are annual rent escalators based on increases in the CPI.

You have high quality REITs just like those high quality MBS. Why don't these REITs just double the rent on all their clients and double their income and yield? You make it sound like that has no downside.

Thing with you V is I argued that shutting down the economy based on the whim of health care officials was wrong.

California Sees Record $97.5 Billion Surplus, Driven by the Rich.
The surplus includes $49.2 billion available for any purpose.
Governor Newsom proposed a $227.4 billion general fund budget

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...rating-surplus

Meanwhile, the brilliant and bewildered Twitter sucker Elon Musk moved to Texas just in time for them to lead the charge in outlawing sex-for-pleasure, display a big improvement in "law and order" enforcement since that whole Kennedy and jail transfer of his accused assassin thing and for its Conservative Repub-controlled Third World energy grid to fail so badly and often 100 Texans die whenever it gets cold enough to require a sweater.

Where? Georgia? Where the Secretary of State (a Republican who wanted the Orange buffoon to win) said (under oath) that it never happened and was BS. BS like all of Donnie the Dumbass' claims of a stolen election.

How do you milk a sheep? Tell him the election was stolen and ask him to send you money.

It seems like only six months ago.

If I wrote something implying that republicans were suckers.
