Well, he lost the vote by millions in 2016, again in 2020, ultimately lost the White House, The House of Representatives and the Senate for his so-called Party in just 1 four year term, the first one to do that since Herbert Hoover.

Counting a million American lives (so far), millions upon millions of American jobs, Trillion $ in American household wealth and his failed violent, cop-killing attempt to overturn a free and fair election and overthrow American democracy, the only things you God has "won" in 7 years was the Repub primary and enough votes in the rigged Electoral College designed to allow an over-represented minority to put their unfit Repubs in office in order to crash the USA economy over and over and over again.

Yeah, he'll probably win that Repub primary again. Especially now that Repubs know his sterling historic record and penchant for producing truly horrific across-the-board results for America. They love that. It's the only thing they know how to do and want to do.

Amazing another so called Great Repub crash is happening again. I wonder why they always happen when we have a democrat president. Biden's high inflation, killing the economy, high gas prices, killing the stock market all qualify for the so called crashes. Biden proving he deserves the title of Worst President Ever! Please bring America back to trump prosperity.

Uh, the Dow, S&P 500 Index and Wilshire 5000 Index have all still closed firmly in health-restoring Correction territory. Not in Bear Market territory. Not a crash.

That would be in contrast to Trump's first broad Bear Market decline in his 2nd year in office even well before he created his Trump's Pandemic, began to mass murder millions around the world, began to wipe out millions upon millions of USA jobs, began to drive the unemployment rate into double digits and destroyed global Supply-Chains and before his fellow "genius" boyfriend launched into the stupidest losing war of all time in a desperate attempt to continue the Putin / Trump mission of destroying democracy and smooth the way for authoritarian dictatorships.

What was Trump's excuse for the broad USA stock market closing into a Bear Market in 2018? Or rather, what was your excuse for it?

[EihTooms]

Perfect example of Elvis 2008's inability to connect even two huge dots on a subject he desperately claims to be knowledgeable:

Elvis 2008 concluded this in response to my stating multiple times that my couple of moves in, out and back into the stock market over the decades worked out well for me but it was not a perfect record since I missed a couple of market tops under Bush2 and Trump that in my judgement were not subject to reasonable due diligence:

You meant that when you thought the market was going down you did not go short? No, that does not surprise me at all. You are as big an amateur as our president.

See, in common stock market parlance, a "market top" generally refers to a point just prior to a significant decline, usually enough to qualify as a Bear Market. "due diligence" refers to the research one does in order to determines one's next move re stocks.

Therefore, to have "missed a market top" by not having done "due diligence" would be clearly understood by even most novices in stock market trading and investing to mean I most certainly did not "think the market was going down" as from a "market top" in those particular cases.

Um, see if I'd "thought the market was going down" then that had to mean the exact opposite of what I stated multiple times about those cases took place.

Just two dots to connect. Huge ones. I pointed to them multiple times here. But Elvis 2008 couldn't connect them re a subject he claims to know something about.

So far, you have made so many contrary arguments about Ukraine and Russia that it is impossible to keep up.

First, it was either you or one of your idiot rightwingnut pals who suggested that President Biden should have attacked Russian forces before they even invaded Ukraine.

Next, it was that nobody should give Ukraine any weapons at all and let Putin do whatever he wants. WTF!

Then you said that the US media should have asked Putin "why" he invaded. The same media that you constantly call out for "fake newZ"? That media? And who would you have believed anyhow? Putin?

Now you call the "narrative" BS. Really? Which narrative? That Putin and his forces are committing war crimes? That Putin and his forces are intentionally targeting civilians?

And mentioning Nazis? Yes, the Azov Battalion are far right. They're neo-Nazi's. So what? What they're doing is standing up to protect their homeland first and foremost. It is inconceivable how a rightwingnut like you can support the far-right-white-supremacist groups that took part in the January 6th attempted coup and dis groups like the Azov's who are fighting for their country. Talk about a BS narrative.

Confused? Of course you are because you are an idiot winger. Tucker has told you how to think and that's how you think. You are just too stupid to see it.

Just curious how do you plan on enforcing these war crimes? Invading Russia, you liberals are crazy. Maybe, Russia will just hand over all the war criminals, you guys live in a dream world and CNN / The other Hacks feed into your delusion.

War is hell and unfortunately incident people die. There needs to be a solution to the war quickly, before things get out of hand.

BTW, not that I expect a coherent answer, but I've got to ask anyway; in this imagined scenario of yours where I supposedly kept silent about it all this time only trot out a post celebrating how brilliant I was to have gotten out of the stock market when Biden was duly elected, when he took office, at the end of last year, yesterday or whatever you dreamed up and thereby dodged the supposed meaningful Bear Market Crash, how on earth would my celebrating such a thing here not tip my hand that I did not have confidence in Biden's handling of the economy, pulling us out of Trump's Great Repub Crash and Recession, etc all along?

Only 180 more days.

Damn, is Pat Buchanan still alive? Hard to believe he hasn't offed himself after seeing 3 Dem presidents in a row kick the shit out of Reaganomics' historically failed results since Reagan was potus in addition to all 5 of them prior to Reagan becoming potus.

[EihTooms]

This is very naive, you really think we are not in Ukraine at the moment. We are the once running the show.

As far, as the stock market, I hope it keeps going, but let's revisit this in 6-12 months, I have my doubts.

The USA has provided aid of one kind or another for virtually every war since forever. That is not the same as being directly involved militarily.

True, one big difference this time is that Biden has united more major countries against Trump's boyfriend and presidential campaign contributor while strengthening NATO and Democratic alliances greater than ever before on behalf of democracy and against everything Trump and his boyfriend stood for and tried but failed to accomplish on behalf of anti democratic authoritarian dictatorships.

What would you do? This war one of the stupidest wars of all times. I guarantee if the money dries, up then there would be a cease fire immediately. We are giving money to one of the most corrupt countries in the world, for what. We are financing this mess and ruining our economy in the process.

I thought you liberals are against wars.

You are so dumb you thought a one day move relief rally was meaningful. Almost all those gains are gone one day later. I added to my short positions yesterday and was thrilled to get them as cheaply as I was.

You are a classic Democrat. You buy and sell and then claim you buy and hold like Buffett.

But outside of that you killed it and are a master investor. Like I said, no one ever loses money on the internet.

You meant that when you thought the market was going down you did not go short? No, that does not surprise me at all. You are as big an amateur as our president.

Just 6 weeks after President Biden unveiled the greatest, most-massive, democracy-saving plan to release millions of barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve into the market to bring down the price of gasoline at the pump for Americans. Which was crushing his approval ratings as the average joe's pocket book is eaten alive by Biden-flation.

I predicted you wouldn't have a coherent answer to my simple question about your ridiculous, numbskull, imaginary scenario but it turned out you couldn't come up with any answer to it at all. LOL.

Followed by your usual utterly off point lost and confused blather.

What I would do is exactly what we are doing.

Is the war stupid? All wars are stupid!

If the money dried up, there would be an immediate cease fire? Horse puckey! Ukraine is a country. With borders. The only cease-fire that Ukraine should accept is that Russia leaves and that Ukraine's borders go back to pre-2104. At worse, to the borders as they were on January 1, 2022.

We are financing this mess? Us alone? Again, horse puckey.

You wingers don't know what you want. If war got you what you wanted, you'd be all for it. If peace got you what you wanted, you'd be all for that, too. If a cease-fire got you what you wanted, you'd be all for that, too. The only thing you really care about is "owning the libs."

But more importantly, what would you do?

Well they aren't liberals, I used to be a liberal.

Bubba destroyed liberalism with the 3rd way.

They are leftists, huge difference.

They are mostly a bunch of racists obsessed with hating any and everything white!

You are so dumb you thought a one day move relief rally was meaningful. Almost all those gains are gone one day later. I added to my short positions yesterday and was thrilled to get them as cheaply as I was.

Also, I know two dots are too many for you to connect, but if you look back at one of the 4-5 times I told you and everyone else here what I was invested in and that I did not follow a strict "buy and hold" strategy over the decades but moved in and out and back in a couple of fairly well timed occasions to beat a typical winning long term investment "buy and hold" strategy that Buffett already proved kicks the ass of professionally managed portfolios, you will see that I quite clearly admitted my record on that was not perfect and I missed dodging Bush2's second Bear Market decline, the 2008 Mega Bear Crash and Trump's second Bear Market decline, the 2020 Mega Bear Crash

You are a classic Democrat. You buy and sell and then claim you buy and hold like Buffett.

it is safe to accurately conclude I lost money in the market those times to whatever extent I still withdrew money from the market to spend and buy things near the bottom those Repub Mega Bear Market Crashes.

But outside of that you killed it and are a master investor. Like I said, no one ever loses money on the internet.

Sure, Obama and Biden successfully recovered us from those two Great Repub Mega Bear Market Crashes enough for it not to be a very painful loss. But I can not say those were Crashes that produced a net gain for me.

Shocked?

You meant that when you thought the market was going down you did not go short? No, that does not surprise me at all. You are as big an amateur as our president.

Which was crushing his approval ratings as the average joe's pocket book is eaten alive by Biden-flation.

CNN reports that the Biden administration plans to seek bids this fall to buy 60 million barrels of crude oil as the first step in a years-long process aimed at replenishing America's shrinking emergency oil reserve, an Energy Department official said.

This cunning plan to sell low and buy high has sent oil prices back above $110. And erased any short-term impact on oil prices from Biden's plan.

Yes, the Biden plan is to sell oil low and buy it high. Sigh.
