    You have to be an adult to invest and adults making bad adult decisions does not bother me. "A fool and their money are quickly parted".

    According to Forbes Trump's net worth declined by 1 billion dollars during his first term.

    Your team is losing ground everywhere

    wonder how many of these laid off workers are still cheering


    Layoffs hit contractors and small businesses as Trump cuts take effect

    Private-sector employers and nonprofits are starting to lay off workers as a result of the Trump administration’s sweeping cuts and funding freezes, unleashing a wave of job losses that economists say could pick up steam in the coming weeks, threatening the broader labor market.

    The tally appears to be about several thousand private-sector jobs lost in the past two weeks since federal funding cuts and freezes took hold. More than 7.5 million Americans work in jobs directly connected to the federal government, according to the Brookings Institution, as contractors or grant workers — some of whom are already out of a job. And there are millions more who work in positions indirectly connected to federal funding delays.

    So far, the fallout includes rescinded contracting jobs in Fayetteville, North Carolina, and Austin; layoffs at an independent-living facility in West Virginia that relies on federal funding to pay staffers; and furloughs at after-school programs in Maine and community health centers in Virginia facing federal funding delays.

    “Having funding yanked so quickly means government contracts are at risk, health research is on hold, and millions of employees are getting conflicting messages about their jobs,” said Harry Holzer, a professor at Georgetown University and former Labor Department chief economist. “We don’t know where this is going to end up, but we can’t dismiss its effects on the economy.”

    The rural clans that elected him also love Spam, marrying their cousins and admire a slick conman.

    Meme coins are dumbest thing in the crypto world full of massively stupid stuff ... imagine the people who "invest" in it ...

    I bought Solona years ago, which is the Crypto that Trump Coin now trades inside, and indirectly benefits from this stupidly. It reminds me of line from the old HBO show Deadwood ... the people guaranteed to make money during a gold rush are the people selling shovels ... something like that...

    Nobody who is informed in the slightest considers the Trump campaign's collusion with Russia to be BS. I'd post the links for you, probably for at least the 3rd time, but you won't read them.

    In fact, you'd probably just respond with something like 'hahahahahahaha you libz are funny!"

    I take kind of a sadistic joy knowing that Trump supporters are getting fleeced.

    On a somewhat related note, probably discussed elsewhere, I had to chuckle a bit when I read this


    Trump’s deportations of Venezuelans force Florida Republicans into a tight spot

    All these Latinos - some of whom love Trump either because they hate socialists or they just like his machismo in general will now get their asses deported.

    Sooner or later Trump F’s anyone and everyone that supports him. That people haven’t figured this out over the last 9 years is mind boggling.
