    Nicky jam is apparently a fucking moron. Which we never could have figured out from face tattoos and a side hat I guess, because they are so trendy and awesome.

    Giant fuckin dirt hat.

    First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
    
    Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
    
    Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
    
    Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

        Because no one calls where they live a nation? Country is the generic people term for place you live, we don’t care about the legal distinctions and specifications.

          It’s less of a legal distinction and more of a definition thing. He is objectively using the wrong word.

          It would not be incorrect to refer to the people of Puerto Ricans as a nation by the definition of the word. The word nation does not refer to a place but a group of people.

            Both words refer to both concepts.

            country

            1. A nation or state.
            2. The territory of a nation or state; land.
            3. The people of a nation or state; populace.

            nation

            1. A relatively large group of people organized under a single, usually independent government; a country.
            2. The territory occupied by such a group of people.
            3. The government of a sovereign state.

    what this election cycle has shown is that although it appeared to simmer down a lot over the last half century, racists just faded into the hedgerows simpson style to grow behind the bushes. trump has dragged them out into the open enough that ee can now see the depth in more detail

    “Nicky jam is hot”. The fact that Trump didn’t even bother to know about him when thinking he was a female onstage I’m guessing would have been the first red flag for him

    I used to endorse trump, but then I realized that I actually never endorsed him because I have a fucking working brain and I’m not a stupid 'murican.

      Don’t you understand? 20% tarrifs is actually good for the economy because prices will go down when China has to pay Americans 20%! Take that communists! And unregulated capitalism is the only way to avoid inefficiencies and economic dead ends, thanks to the protective power of monopolies.

    I’m sorry to say that, but I think that moronic statement is pretty much the US in a nutshell. I mean Trump is one of just two presidential candidates…and it seems to be a close election.

        You know, facts don’t care about your feelings.

        Facts, like the solid economic outlook and that the US managed to soft-land the recovery from the massive global inflation coming out of COVID without triggering a recession, don’t care about your feelings that Donald Trump, a man who wants to implement tariffs on everything coming into the US which would devastate the economy and under whom the deficit shot up, is a fiscally sound choice.

          That’s my favorite part, Trump supporters (altho this goes for Putin supporters too) always get caught saying something that’s against their great leader, just because he changes his option all the god damn time, depending on what suits him most at any given moment. Obama care for example, every time he’s interview by a republican he says tp get rid of it, but when but anybody else the story is that they’re working on an improved version. And this applies to any policy.

        Yes, better. The markets are all time high since god left the white house and historically, the markets always performed better under democrats, but facts cannot reach your pebbles.

            Maybe your investments haven’t been performing but the S&P500 average return is over 14% per year thus far into the current administration. It averaged 12.1% during Trump. Simplifying your portfolio might be a good idea, when you don’t know what is going on you should stick with a basic low cost ETF like VOO until you have a clue about things.

              This discussion right here on “whose candidate is best for The Market” at a time when most people have less than $1000 in savings is peak Capitalism.

              Yeah, I know that in the US many if not most people have their retirement funds tied to Markets, and having worked in Investment Finance let me tell you that you were and are being swindled (but, hey, your savings for old age really make a LOT of money for a small number of people, not least because of occupying the niche of being the suckers in most markets), but that itself is peak Capitalism.

              The Markets mater very little for most people - except for the unfortunates forced by governments to bet their old age prosperity on them - but they’re really important for the largest Asset Owners, or in other words, the Very Rich.

    We’ve been trying to tell you. When he gets your vote and gets into office, he’s not going to give a shit about you. Listen to the people who already got fucked the last time he was president.
