Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

I'd bet McConnell could block all attempts to stimulate the economy, or help with strapped state budgets and the unemployed.

He will sabotage the American people just to make Biden look bad.

Fully concur. And given the short memories of American voters* (I do not exempt myself), when 11/2022 approaches all they're likely to think is "jeez, things are pretty bad with Biden in the White House."

Aside from making sure that his own state continues to receive more from the federal government than it pays in, McConnell really has no incentive to work to ameliorate current conditions. As far as the whole country is concerned, he thinks that his remaining in power is the ultimate good for the nation, and any other outcome is distinctly secondary.

*How many remember that President Trump was impeached less than a year ago?

Hey brother, I hope you do some passive investing too. That active stuff is risky.

Energy stocks were stagnant for 10 years and then tanked. I would not go anywhere near them. It seemed not long ago when oil at $150 and natural gas at $16.

I don't think you understand what two-way trading is... and I suspect you didn't just pick up lying from Trump.

Just to show how dead-endy the m@gas are...on Predictit you can still get Biden will win the WH for 87 cents today.

Many m@gas really think Trump and Q will pull this thing out.

If Trump decides to mobilze this giant band of nutballs this country is going to suffer.

They are complete believers. Fanatics.

Fossil fuels are a terrible long term investment. Coal is done. Oil and gas are dying.

Just buy Tesla and you are covered.

The heck is wrong with these people?

We've been led by a bunch of people terrified of mean tweets from DJT.

Unbelievable. Believable.

Was that challenging as a blind man?

Absolute dumf*cks. Even Dr. Carson won't wear a mask. Insanity. Worshipping Donald Trump. I WISH God were real and were vengeful. These people all belong in hell (if it were real, which it isn't).

It’s really scary stuff, and that’s with FOX already having called it (not before getting behind the Trump conspiracy theories of course). The GOP is probably loving this, getting trump to weaken Biden’s position by casting doubt on his legitimacy before day 1 on the job.

RAGE RAGE RAGE. I have NEVER seen one with such primal rage. Flagpole - you must have been dealt a lot in life worse than anyone else's. You have anger off the charts. You can't write one post without spewing such hateful ravings. I really worry about your sorry arse. You are one F$CKED UP DUDE. GET some help. You need it in spades.

That’s very flawed advice. I am behind clean energy and believe the major players will get fully behind it down the road when they run out of options. However, Tesla is not the best answer, not even close IMO. I believe (and I’m not the only one) that Elon has committed all sorts of financial fraud. He’s a market manipulator and has a long history of fudging numbers. Just about every time the stock was bound to take a deep dive he sprinkled some magic and came up with some new fantastical idea that could not be implemented. Not to mention that the current battery production is a disaster for the environment. I’m not saying the technology is not headed the right way, but I would not put Tesla on a pedestal. Just take a quick look at Tesla’s stock volatility. Big fund managers have embraced it but I do not consider it a safe investment. Again, not because of the industry it’s in but really from a micro perspective. SpaceX is a different story. This is the last I’ll say on Tesla as this is not an investment/trading thread.

BTW it depends what you consider long term. These timeline terms are thrown around loosely. Plus a lot of traditional energy companies have been consolidating their operations to run more efficiently and in a greener way. Some are making a sharp turn and can be very profitable. NG should be in a different bucket altogether btw as that is a transitionary energy source.

F***ing LOVE your post!

Nah. The longer Trump refuses to concede more the GOP look like a bunch of clowns. They need to be able to distance themselves from this loser, but they can't.

You are going to see a battle within the GOP between those that are still aligned with Trump and those who want to move on. You could even see the party split in two.

Not really up to speed on these betting markets but I wonder if there are pretty extensive transaction costs involved? That you're not really going to get the full dollar on an $0.87 bet. It might be just as much that as it is emotional pro-Trump people. But not sure - it could be all delusional bettors.

OK. Then I'll just tell you where you are wrong about Tesla and we can leave it at that:

* I have seen no evidence of fraud or fudging numbers. If you have some please come forward.

* Their battery production story is getting cleaner all the time. Tesla is even getting into mining to make sure that their supply chain is clean. Mining is never wonderful for the environment, but compared to oil and gas it's clean as soap.

* Tesla is now the most valuable car company on earth. That's because they are years ahead technologically and the other auto makers simply can't catch up. But it's also because they are much more than an auto company.

* Tesla is also a software company. They have a $10,000 software option for full self driving. About 25% of sales include this software, which has huge margins. Other auto makers can't offer this.

* Tesla has no dealerships and no dealership overhead. That means bigger margins (and profits)

* Tesla has no advertising budget. That's right, zero. While all the other car companies spend billions every year to make the public aware of their products, Tesla just sells every car it can make, relying only on word or mouth.

* Future demand for EV's will be huge. Governments around the world are phasing out gas cars. Most other auto makers will not be able to compete.

* Tesla is also an energy company. The order books are full for the next two years for their grid scale battery storage solution.

* Tesla's solar solutions are the cheapest in the industry. The solar roof is ramping up production.

The stock price seems high right now, but it's high for good reason. The only reason it's not higher is because people still don't get it. People still think there will be demand for gas cars in 10 years. It just won't be there.

Even without government mandates, why would you buy a gas car when for a lower price you can get an EV with a 500 mile range that drives itself?

The only thing holding Tesla back is production capacity and now they have plenty of cash to ramp up and meet demand. They are positioned to dominate both transportation and energy in the next few years. The bull case is ridiculously strong.
