    If I was the Dems I would see if Justice Sotomayor would retire if they could force a new pick through quickly. I don't think she is in that good of health and you could have an issue with that before the 2028 election. I wouldnt surprised if Trump gets to swap out Alito, Thomas and Roberts due to retirements.

    To all of the liber-gressive-crats out there, a song you can now sing:




    I went home with the waitress, the way I always do
    How was I to know, she was with the Russians, too? (LOL)
    I was gambling in Havana, I took a little risk
    Send lawyers, guns and money, dad, get me out of this, ha
    I'm the innocent bystander
    Somehow I got stuck between the rock and a hard place
    And I'm down on my luck, yes I'm down on my luck
    Well, I'm down on my luck
    And I'm hiding in Honduras
    I'm a desperate man

    Send lawyers, guns, and money
    The shit has hit the fan
    Alright, send lawyers, guns, and money
    Huh, yeah
    Send lawyers, guns, and money
    Uh
    Send lawyers, guns, and money
    Hey
    Send lawyers, guns, and money
    Oo, yeah
    Yeah
    Yeah

    do you think anything put in front of them is going to be more difficult than what is behind them?

    mountains, deserts, cartels, smugglers..

    I pinched my nose and voted for Trump because there is very little with the democratic party I agree with.

    For years the Dems called anyone who didn't agree with them racist, fascist, homophobes, trash and deplorables from the high horse they sat on, then wondered why they lost.

    Even now they continue to do it without any self reflection. I have seen a couple of commentators already throwing around the terms racists and misogynists for not voting for Harris. It just never occurred to them that it was their policies and own words that cost them the win.

    The Dow knee jerked down 1000+ last time, before rallying once it digested possible tax cuts (and pretty much nothing else happened besides tax cuts, so the market had reason to rally).

    The market definitely likes some of the possible deregulation they think is coming. We’ve been down this road before lmao.

    I'm up mid to upper 5 figures today and I'm sure that pales to some here but I would trade it for anyone besides trump or maga for the next 4 years in a split second

    When their only message to the American people is "Trump bad", they should not be surprised by the election results. People gave them a second chance in '20 but were burned.

    banks are crushing it today. JPM up 10% on no news other than djt getting elected. AXP up 7%. they must see a big change in regularity approach to their benefit

    think that will help or hurt the average maga voter?

    You need help buddy. Biden was a disaster, but I wouldn't turn over my savings to get him out of office quicker. Wow.

    I guess the big thing is fees? I wasn’t aware banking fees were constrained that much.

    So yeah, good luck with that: MAGA voter complaining about Big Mac combo meal pricing.

    Yep. If you voted for Trump because he's better on economics in your opinion, then that makes you a misogynistic Nazi who hates women. Despite the fact all the supreme court did was make it a states right issue which it should have been all along, and for the majority of voters it's not an important issue.

    Compelling argument.

    does anything that the lifetime pub generals and national security advisors or his own attorney general say about djt that gives you serious concerns? does the fate of ukraine concern you? or what message that will send to China re: Taiwan? djt forces ukraine into ceding territory for peace or no more aid. what happens when China invades Taiwan? What does djt do? What happens if one of my daughters is the next poster child for not being able to get care for a failed pregnancy?

    I can make more money, I can't make more sons and daughters, too old for that.

    sometimes I do believe that ignorance is bliss

    watch for mergers to accelerate now. SEC about to get gutted too

    more mergers/acquisitions, less competition, more price control, higher prices.

    think that helps with economic disparity?

    good for those in the market, bad for everyone else..

    check back in a year at number and size of mergers/acquisitions versus the year before
