Republicans hate the rule of law because it means their leader couldn't do all the things he wants to do to this country.
Now they are getting rid of Marbury vs Madison, getting rid of the ability of courts to enforce the law against the executive branch. And that's pretty much it...if the exec branch has no check on it, we have ourselves a dictator.
The indices are getting close to breaking all time highs.
Baghdad is shocked.
Agip's Trump failure blotter may soon be but a memory.
you guys know I own a huge amount of US shares, right?
I actually want the US stock market to go higher. I would like the market to shrug off the harm trump is doing to the economy and my retirement. That would be good. I am furious at the harm he is doing, not happy because of it.
Looks like we're around 4% from the all-time high on the SP500. Still a ways to go.

Even with today's increases, the DJIA is still 2,700 points below its 6 month high from January.
All due to self-inflicted wounds.
It could double, triple, quadruple etc...you'd still be on here with agip doing anything possible to discredit the results. You'd never say anything positive
No agip, how would anyone know what a random person's stock holdings are on a random anonymous forum? So then one can assume that you are lying.
I've got 25 million shares of Tesla. You do know that, don't you?
The Dow was at 19,700 when Trump first took office in 1/2017. Today it is at about 42,100.
Look like the Dow was about 30,000 when Trump left in 2021. A nice increase in four years, to be sure.
But it was closer to 44,000 when Biden left office. An even nicer increase.
Weird how cancer and dementia patient Biden always seems to trump Trump.
But I'm hopeful we finally break through and post a record high, so Agip doesn't have to keep reminding us. That would be good for all of us.
I stand corrected. You actually just said something semi-positive while still dissing Trump. For you, that's a big step. Regardless, you've got agip beat 8 days a week

25 million shares would be about 1/16 of what Elon Musk owns.
Tesla's European sales tanked by 49%. The Chinese EV manufacturers are engaging in a price war to gain market share over Tesla. And Tesla new vehicle buyers are finding out that the vehicles they ordered have been sitting on Tesla's lot for months, exposed to the elements and causing battery degradation. I drove by a Tesla "dealer" in my area over the weekend. The parking lot is totally full of new Teslas and they have cybertrucks stacked up on a grassy strip between the parking lot and a drainage detention pond.
Tesla is a meme stock. Its value has no relationship with its sales and profitability. The bet is that Tesla is first to market with 100% driverless tech. But watch the video in the last link of a Tesla on Autopilot suddenly veering off the road and flipping over. Musk is launching robotaxis in Austin this week. The robotaxis have not been tested without a backup human driver. If the robotaxis are involved in accidents or have failures that leave passengers stranded, the meme stock may have to face the music.

well some of you are also on the Down Goes the Dow thread, where we have talked stocks for a decade or more. So those folk know me from there.
Now you know! Like most Americans late in their careers, I've accumulated a lot of shares in US companies over my many decades of work and income.
I'll agree with one thing - after the US market finally does recapture it's biden-era highs, I'll be still sure to list all of Trump's failures. Because there are many of them.
I mean take a look at what he's cost us:
Year to date
European Stocks: +20%
USA Stocks: -1%[/b]
That's Trump at work. I'll be sure to remind you m'agas of that. You can be happy about your man's anti-democracy acts, but you shouldn't be happy about the money he's cost you and the nation.

the real bet is on robots - that tesla's robot tech, not on sale yet, will add on a 'new' tesla company. And that the stock doesn't reflect the value of that new company that is coming down the road.
also the bet is that trump will direct billions of federal budget dollars to tesla as a way to keep musk on his side.
That's pure putinism - keep the billionaires wealthy and happy, screw over everyone else. No reason to think trump will be any different than his role model putin in that regard.

You clearly didn't understand my point. Yes, you are saying you have this and that. Anyone can do that. As I said, I've got 25 million shares of Tesla. You are an anonymous person, as we all are, posting information that can't be proven or disproven.

Actually, it would be quite easy for you to prove your large ownership of TSLA stock. Owning 25 million shares you are considered a significant owner of the stock so if you sold or bought any shares of TSLA it would be public knowledge.

my point is that I have a long history on LRC demonstrating that I have a portfolio of stocks and bonds. Which is not a giant claim to make anyway.
Whereas your claim to have 25 million shares of tesla is a wild claim no one would believe.
I guess I don't really see your point other than sure, we're anonymous here. But judging claims is not that hard. it should be easy to believe a distance runner who is literate and educated and knowledgeable like me has accumulated a stock portfolio.
No one would believe you have 25 million shares of tesla.
Enough. This is stupid.

Flagpole claimed forever that he beat the Dow 33 out of 35 years which we all know was a lie. But he kept on claiming that lie over and over and over again.
