American Politics

[Elvis 2008]

I have read with amusement the antics of you and the Medellin morons as you have now travelled the Pacific and are littering the board again with your trash talking and insistence that your fucking ugly women is equivalent to those seeking the best. You proudly boast that you are fucking 6's as the chemistry is better. So instead of getting up off your ass and trying to do better and find better looking women, you and the crew of Medellin morons have flamed anyone trying to do better. When I went you on this topic, you griped to Gabacho and that lying Mexican baby ran crying to an admin to give me points. Gabacho is so fucking stupid he even bragged who the admin is and like the baby he is, boasted about getting other guys posts. Since that time, I have put the two of you on ignore and things have been much better. Unlike the child Gabacho, you actually like to argue and you PMed me begging me to respond, and I told you to fuck off. I am not going to debate someone who cannot take a punch.

Thing is I can tell from your posts you are a narcissist. So even when I have you on ignore, I predicted the insults and the narcissistic chest beating, and I signed out and read your post, and you did not disappoint. Trudging through the multiple insults and chest beating, your three objective posts were bonds are callable and redeemable and people will pay for the fastest chips and Nvidia cannot sell all the chips they make.

I gave the person who asked the question the wrong advice. If he is not good at stock picking, he should buy a bond fund and not individual bonds. That is not what I am doing. That is the advice I gave to someone at his level.

OTOH, you took the moment to put me down and beat your chest and brag about your stock trades. And everybody on line who trades stocks wins with every trade and so do you. Of course, it is ALWAYS after the fact. I have seen this bullshit a million times before.

As for the rest of it, it is pretty obvious you do not understand how bonds work. In fact, you pointed to an issue with bonds that was completely irrelevant to the scenario I described, and you still do not get it, and I am not going to waste my time explaining the why. Tiny already did, and before you pissed him off, AH even gave a very diplomatic message as to why. Of course, it went right over your head as it always does.

As for Nvidia, I gave two reasons why it was going to go down. You did not refute either reason. That is the sign of a bad investor.

A few days ago I posted a link to Governor Newsom's podcast interview with Maga operative Charlie Kirk. The significance of this interview was lost on Spidy who instead chose to denigrate me instead of dealing with what Newsom was saying. How dumb is that? Pretty dumb. In any case, this is the what all reasonable political observers left or right should take from the interview:

1) Newsom is running for President in 2028 campaign.

2) Newsom is a pretty smart politician and capable of holding his own in any interview (unlike dumbo Biden and word salad Kamela) neither of whom could handle even a puff interview with notes and all the questions known in advance.

3) Newsom correctly understands that sticking with Woke ideology especially when it concerns men / boys participating in women's / girls sports is a loser. And he came out against it.

Now, lets move on to the Van Jones recent commentary on CNN. Van is no Kool-aid drinking idiot either and he understands the situation facing the Dems as well as anyone, including myself. KKK /555. Here is a link to his comments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBIOioExykQ&t=30s.

As well as the transcript:

Jones said, "Can we ask another question? Do I keep talking about my own party? Can we talk about Ukraine or something? No, look, man, we're we're we're screwed. I mean, we don't know, Democrats don't know what to do. This is a nightmare. You know, somebody like Donald Trump, we thought we'd at least have Hakeem Jeffries in the speaker's chair to hold him back. If we didn't have Kamala in there to do the right thing."

He added, "Listen, the Democratic Party is going through a massive set of internal crises. You have a party that got trapped two ways. One, defending a broken status quo that nobody likes because they thought that Donald Trump was going to make it worse. But when you're defending the status quo, you're going to lose. And then offending most people in the country, calling everybody sexist and racist and transphobic and every other name, and then saying, please follow us. That's not a good strategy, folks. Defending a broken status quo and offending most of the country, turns out, is not as popular as my party thought it was going to be. And so it's going to take a while for people to get it figured out."

Anybody of you left leaning BM's care to comment on the substance of Newsom's interview or Jones's comments or do you prefer to continue to critique the messenger? Hahaha. As I said before, if the moderates in the Democrat Party cannot take back their party, the Democrat party will continue to lose and lose and lose election after election. Choosing to die on the hill of trans rights to participate in women's sports is political suicide. Now who wants another glass of cyanide laced kool-aid?

Both of them simply conceded the most important, critical, existential, life-altering, obsessive issue on the mind of MAGAs, what are Trannies doing with their pee-pees, in order to shelf it and move on to real issues.

Neither of them is lost on the awareness that the Dem candidates in 2016 and 2020, hardly ancient history, were chosen over Trump by 10 Million votes and he almost had his ass handed to him again on actual votes vs the Repub-rigged EC system but for a shift of less than 1 percentage point in the vote again in 2024. By a mixed race female. And despite him campaigning on all forms of media to squeak out that razor-thin win since 12 Noon on January 20,2017 vs her (and Biden) being pretty damn busy over the past 4 years recovering us and the rest of the world from the colossal mess of everything Trump left in his wake the last time.

The reports of the Death of The Democratic Party are greatly exaggerated. But both of those guys know the racist, self-loathing and America-hating audience for those MAGA liars love to hear it and will tune in and quote them on it over and over again, increasing their name recognition with that crowd. Which is fine for their political ambitions.

Frankly, I am surprised anyone paying attention to politics at all needed this to be pointed out to them. With Bill Clinton it was known as "Triangulation. ".

When those that you're inquiring about, are literally quoting, revelling and celebrating, the likes of Charlie Kirk "(Maga Man {whatever that is?})", a well known INCEL, misogynist, racist and anti-Semite, is it not obvious?

Or they openly and knowingly support, people like ex-Lt.Gov. Mark Robinson, also a know anti-Semite, Nazi-sympathizer, misogynist, homophobe, racist and closet porn sex shop wanker. Or an alleged pedo Matt Gaetz, rapist in Pete Hegseth or robber baron, goose-stepping Nazi-sympathizer in President Elon Musk.

Is it really that hard to comprehend? And are you really sure you don't know why?

All good points, but this calamity AKA Donald Trump has been elected by 50% of Americans. Twice! That's simply stunning. And sure as hell, a lot of them are anti-Semites, Nazi-sympathizers, misogynists, homophobes and racists, but we're talking 70,000,000 people! They can't all be like this, can they? Because if so, this country is positively and irrevocably fucked.

[Spidy]

You honestly know a lot about EV's, more than anyone here. Thanks for your contributions in that area.

No, I don't for a second think, I know more than anyone here on EVs. As another BM put it, that would be "fucking arrogant"

What I can say is, if much of what's being said about EVs is bunk and dis-misinformation, I'll continue to debunk it, to the best of my knowledge.

However, you did not educate me about the constituents of flue gas and their significance to air quality, except to provide insight into the Dunning-Kruger effect.

If you're as smart as Elvis 2008, thinks you are, and honestly know a lot about flue gas/Dunning-Kruger effect, more than anyone here, that's perfectly fine, as that's between YOU and Elvis 2008.

You'll probably get no argument from me, as you both seem to enjoy (from on high), prattling and blathering on, about whom (which ISGer), you both believe to be "intelligent", "smart" or a "total imbecile".

However, if you still wanna stick to natural gas (methane), is a "clean burning gas" and not just simply a "cleaner burning gas" than coal, which was the topic that I called you out on...then by all means have at it.

But if you stubbornly continue to be antithetical, and stick to the notion that, it is a "clean burning gas", meaning it emits ZERO 0% CO2 emissions, then I'll be right there to correct you, on that bunk piece of disinformation.

Only the gullible MAGA nation, is likely to believe YOU, about methane gas, just like they believe your American Fuhrer, when he says "...beautiful clean coal."

you had an apoplectic fit. Triggered by a man who simply posted his reaction to a news story.

So, I was "triggered" and had an "apoplectic fit" for asking you a very simple question? That is really rich coming from you. Do you ever read your own posts and insults? You are out of sight man. Question: Why are you always unloading on fellow board members over nothing? I guess this means we are no longer ISG pals and we won't be hooking up in Pat to have a few drinks and compare notes. Oh well. I only hang out with sane people. Good luck mate. You are going to need it.

My fellow Americans and I are being told by POTUS himself that a rescission is coming. I hope someone is listening. The Bond market is broken and is going to implode. Since when does speculation consist of investing in gold, silver. Real estate and your personal business?

Wealthy people in China have stopped investing in real estate and are buying hard assets. Gold remains the only asset that I know of that will consistently hold its purchasing power over time. I am the first to admit that although I believe Bitcoin will surpass gold in total market value, I don't see it happening until 2035.

Hope I am alive to see it!

[SubCmdr]

SC said it is a problem if you buy something for $500 and sell it for $1050? LOL. Yeah, he had best stick to speculative stuff.

Is that what I said. Perhaps you should take me off of ignore and read my posts more carefully. This is what I wrote:

The OP never tell the whole story. Familiarize yourself with the term: callable or redeemable bonds.

Guess what happens when interest rates been to drop again. Those bonds are called in and reissued into the capital market. Ending your juicy yield plans.

His narrative on NVDA is wrong also. But I'll take on his logical errors in another post.

That's unlikely to happen for Elvis' example. The call price of a bond is set higher than the issue price. For example, say a bond was originally sold at 100 with a coupon rate of 8%. The call price, being the price at which the company has the right to repurchase the bond, might be 105. Now, say the price of the bond has fallen from 100 to 50, so that instead of 8%, it yields 16%. The company won't pay 105 to call the bond. It may try to buy bonds back on the open market at 50 though, if it can get the money to do so from the banks.

So how does what Elvis said (with his usual arrogance and projection of superiority) will happen in the markets happen?

SC said it is a problem if you buy something for $500 and sell it for $1050? LOL.

Who is buying the bond for 1050?

Was it speculation to realize the Deep Seek was hype when NVDA crashed to 116 and I picked up at 118 then sold it days latter for 141?

No, it was good trading and market knowledge. Deep Seek was a software breakthrough. The premise I have seen presented is that there is no longer a need for fast chips. People need to just shut their mouth like you would tell a child. NVDA cannot make chips as fast as people want to buy them. There will always be a market for power. It is like saying before 80% of the population does not need fast chip in their computers the other 20% will not either. When it comes to AI the individuals that need fast chips need them. And they need them yesterday.

Elvis needs to stick with being bonds and stay out of the area where analysis rules if you have the testicular fortitude to make the trade. Something Elvis does not have.

[SubCmdr]

I didn't post one. What I posted was a honest reaction to a new story I read. Lots of countries have the death penalty. Sorry, I don't usually keep up with news in the DisUnited States of America. But with the RACIST (that is an opinion) Musk a heartbeat away from the Presidency I am fearful for my fellow Americans. So, I guess my sudden clicking on stores about the DisUnited States of America cause the algorithm to put the story about a man being KILLED by firing squad in my news feed.

Which is precisely why I have no internet in returning to the Disunited States of America. You see they have death squads that roam the country in uniforms. They are call the POLICE. They have orders to execute individuals who look like me on sight. By firing squad.

You want my opinion? I think you are trying to play word games. And when I served up an ace game (2 up the T and two out wide) on ya, you had an apoplectic fit. Triggered by a man who simply posted his reaction to a news story. That is what I think.

It is also my opinion that you read a lot into posts. I am a direct man. So you should read them that way. But I will give you respect for at least asking me what my post was about after telling me what you had decided it was about. ROTFLMAO!.

Whatever you say, SubCmdr, but you did post this:

Which in my humble opinion is more than a mere observation since the post appears to have all the hallmarks of an opinion. Note the highlight in Bold of "what the fuc" and your final sentence followed by an exclamation point! So, in follow up, I asked a simple question:

I could have just as easily asked what is your point? Or let's phrase it this way: what is your "apparent" objection to the execution of this convicted murderer? Is it that you object to capital punishment or this particular form of capital punishment? It is a fair question, and obviously you don't have to answer it if you don't want to. I just wanted to know your opinion on the subject. It is not a biggie or a gotcha moment. There are legitimate points of view on both sides of the issue.

What boggles the mind is that Axel is not your typical MAGA cultist. When Elvis spews his own brand of nonsense, you know where it comes from -- Elvis is a conspiracy theorist, he's a guy MAGA IS MADE OF. But Axel is not like that. I've communicated with him, he's a worldly, intelligent person. How is it possible that people like that can't see Trump's incessant lies and empty boasts, his crazy rants and off-the-charts boorishness worthy of a drunken vagrant, his fantastical stories from his own alternative universe? And did I mention his pure LIES -- lies so patently obvious that even a 9-year-old could easily cut through them -- and yet, these grown-up fellas keep coming here to mindlessly and exuberantly defend the pure-evil incompetent scamster and his team of sycophants, no matter what they say and do.
...

Seriously, MAGA, why?

When those that you're inquiring about, are literally quoting, revelling and celebrating, the likes of Charlie Kirk "(Maga Man {whatever that is?})", a well known INCEL, misogynist, racist and anti-Semite, is it not obvious?

Nice, apropos Trekkie reference!

I don't know for sure, but I've watch enough Star Trek, that it wouldn't surprise me, if the Ferengi, do not have a rule of acquisition, that said, "War is good for business!" (...kkkk!).

Like the Ferengi, the American Fuhrer, the fascist war mongers and billionaire robber barons on the right, have both war and peace covered. (ie. The bodies are still warm and Gaza is already being eyed and spied, for its real estate. The Ukraine for its minerals and rare earth, with more to follow, if the American Fuhrer, continues to suck Putin's dick).

You can book it!

PS: Oh wait, I think they do have a rule, #34 before "Peace is good... ", or #43. Depending where you look!

USA behave like shameful robbers, when Ukrainians keep on dying, killed by criminal Putin who feel the support of your schizophrene. Our world have to resist to such shameful USA now.

[Sirioja]

Yeah, but no doubt, to preserve that French culture and way of life, in 42 cities, including Paris and Lyon, effective Jan 1st, 2025, EVs are welcomed and ICE vehicles are not. C'est la vie!

Regulations have again increased and tightened, surrounding the French Low Emission Mobility Zones (ZFE), as outlined in the Climate and Resilience Act, against ICE vehicles and banned them, from driving in the city center of major French cities.

So, whatever the type of "E85 "zero 0% CO2 emissions, on technical control" fuel you put in your Audi ICE fuel tank, it won't matter, you still won't be allowed to drive, in or near any major French city centers. And don't forget your 12 pass tickets to drive into the city centers!

Remember, if push comes to shove, you can always ditch your Audi ICE-E85 vehicle, on the outskirts of Paris (or Lyon...etc) and "leg it", into city center! (...kkkk!)

Do You want to explain me about France or even Western EU? With my from 2008 , V8 S5 and even without E85 , even with gas 98 , I can go everywhere in France and Germany and when I want. I drive almost daily in Paris and my more than 200000 kms clutch cry. ZFE are allowed with Crit air 1 and 2 . No EV for me, not real cars, but a exceptionnal engine to make me hard when I press engine start. EVs and Tesla will fall in Europe.

[Spidy]

Ferengi Rules of Acquisition #35: Peace is good for Business!

Nice, apropos Trekkie reference!

"Peace is Good for Business," I agree. Ferengi's may be ugly, short mother fuckers, but they're damn smart! They're like the Swiss used to be.

I don't know for sure, but I've watch enough Star Trek, that it wouldn't surprise me, if the Ferengi, do not have a rule of acquisition, that said, "War is good for business!" (...kkkk!).

Like the Ferengi, the American Fuhrer, the fascist war mongers and billionaire robber barons on the right, have both war and peace covered. (ie.

New name was found for your shameful schizophrene robber Trump = andron and his fool Musk. Robin Wood robbed rich to give to poor, but your shame threaten blackmail rob poor to give to rich.

Roman Neron for Trump new name given. Good, Canada want to resist to Trump. More and more in our world start to hate crazy Trump and USA. Shameful Trump gives new image of USA, kind of aggressive robbers.
