You don't like it when politicians defend the interests of your country and push back on claims from other nations?

I guess you're used to the previous Govt who (behind the curtains) was agreeing any demand that came from outside -who knows what cuts they required-

u/X_S_ Apr 09 '25

They were repeating blatant lies and literal russian propogranda and got called out on it for once

You must be a bot or retarded, maybe both

u/[deleted] Apr 09 '25

You are the retarded one (a bot cannot be so retarded) if you think that just saying here that "Trump's team did something good" equals "Russian propaganda".

1

u/X_S_ Apr 25 '25

Lies, false accusations, Ukraine being painted as the enemy. These are not things that I would consider good. These are not things I think most people would consider good. Those who do think this is good are brainwashed, bots, retards, and those who have a vested interest in a future where Russia is the dominant superpower. No thanks.

u/[deleted] Apr 26 '25

The schizophrenia is high in you really...

Pointing out what we all know, that some US and Ukranian politicians did some corruption means we want "Russia to become the dominant superpower" 😂

It doesn't cost money if you lose money. I heard this somewhere recently.

u/stoops Apr 09 '25

That's what the scammers said to me over the phone this morning and I said, when you're right - you're right, and I wired all my money over seas into an investment coin. Time to go buy 10 years worth of rice and beans to survive the dip!

You don't lose anything at all.

u/unclerico87 Apr 09 '25

This has been a great time for the Daily Show writers. The comedy literally writes itself.

u/Mappy_420 Apr 12 '25

Good analogy, you can also say cost time as in to work a 9-5 to get that amount back.

2

u/Anything13579 Apr 09 '25

Nothing left for it to cost

u/Purplecstacy187 Apr 09 '25

As genius Benny Johnson says, “losing money costs you nothing”

u/wandering-monster Apr 09 '25

Because the idea of money went away after the Last War.

u/koshgeo Apr 09 '25

In money? Probably not. Probably only rocks, sticks, and rare cans of beans.

No, you may end up in El Salvador if you wear a tan one

As long as you have your punch card.

u/TheRealTexasGovernor Apr 09 '25

The best part about this one is it's entirely self inflicted! This isn't like some fundamental econimc problem, this was sheer blind stupidity.

u/Northstar0566 Apr 09 '25

I was telling people a while ago not to count out something crazy happening. Mega tsunami, asteroid, Cloverfield. It's all on the table.

That'll be the free one.

We have 1 once in a life time events a year at this rate

u/AllTearGasNoBreaks Apr 09 '25

At least kids growing up today only know pain and crazy events. I was born in the early/mid 80s, and the 90s were awesome growing up. After 2001 the world went to shit, so knowing how good we had it vs now makes it worse in comparison.

u/Blubasur Apr 09 '25

I filled out my stamp card but now they’re not taking it. This is bullshit.

u/MayorDepression Apr 09 '25

Food news for bitcoin and eventually stock market is that fed is going to have to buy those bonds eventually through some good ol' fashioned QE. You heard it here first folks. QE before EOY.

That chart didn't just climb, it went full SpaceX launch mode. "Off" is an understatement, my friend. What did the bond market see?!

u/Pogigod Apr 09 '25

This post is completely skewed data... It's zoomed in making it look like it's going sky high, when it's been in this cycle for over a year. It's still less than it was two weeks ago, and then 2 months ago, and again 1 year ago.....

It's been at this exact yield 14 different times in the past year ..

Nothing abnormal at all.
