Pasayten's Methow Valley Bulletin Board

Nope! I’m winning MAGA.

Your habit of turning a blind eye to Trump's manipulations, take a look at the VietNam deal, isn't going to work. Trump is an adjudicated felon and he has brought a level of grift to this Country never seen before. You can hum Hunter Biden songs in your head all day but so far all that's gotten you are pies in your face.

You only deal in selective outrage, that’s why you only have your sycophants here and win zero people to your positions because you have no consistency fairness or perspective.

I don't deal in whataboutisms. This is a thread on market manipulation by Trump et al which is now under investigation.
In the history of the DOW there's never been seen before this kind of volatility based on a President's actions.

Meanwhile, the WSJ is reporting that Vietnam is looking to let in Musk's internet company, Starlink and greenlight a $1.5 billion Trump resort in order to get favorable tariff treatment from Trump.

Almost like this was always the point...

Well per your other post, unless the “market manipulation” is brought in court it isn’t real, so “appropriate threads” (I.e. ONLY media I agree with and spins my version) isn’t going to cut it. I don’t ever recall you calling out or seeking ousting of Nancy Pelosi? Partisan, selective hypocrite!

Keep in mind he isn't performing for us, he is performing for his fellow cult members to show how loyal he is.

The factual responses have been posted on the appropriate threads. They are irrelevant to a thread on market manipulation that Trump has bee practicing.
Get a grip.

But not one actual rebuttal, telling.

Yes, they are. (the tantrums)
We may lose our regional hospitals, the EPA gone, education funding suffering, etc.. Maybe then you'll realize what has happened and will continue to happen.

Your tantrums are so Trump like they make me laugh.

I haven’t found any of you knuckleheads here right about most anything! Covid-WRONG, it wasn’t fixed with a ‘vaccine’ that barely 60% took and masks do virtually nothing, 6’ is a made up joke and it DID come from a Chinese lab. Elections- 1 out of 3 MAYBE and you desperately spun ‘Covid’ out of control and used a senile corrupt (old white guy) basement dweller to pull that BS. Markets, wars, open borders, trans and abortion, government control and crap schools, on and on! I don’t think you dimwits seem to be right about damn near anything, maybe YOU should listen to others, maybe here and quit proving yourself full of sh** over and over.

Then there is this about cryptocurrency:

The scale of the crypto grift represents still another systemic risk to our economy and financial system.

Once again, why do you even care? If Rideback and the rest of us are so bad, why are you even here? Well, maybe you will learn something.

Your life is posting pointless and regularly wrong sh** here that except for a couple sycophants here nobody believes because you are FOS so often. But hey, you do you!

Your ignorance lights up my life, thank you Ken!

“Due process “? I didn’t vote the way you did? You are such a over educated idiot!

And that is true. But my statement does not in any way indicate that the MAGAs would be subjected to forced housing within a mental facility without due process. See, that's the difference between you MAGAs and the rest of the world. We still abide by the laws of this Country and respect due process. You don't.

“We are going to need a bigger mental health facility to house all you MAGAs” Rideback

Only you Ken, could have come up with that response. Bravo for your excitement to jump down the rabbit hole, I heard Jane Curtin say that Thorazine comes in vanilla now. Yum!

So it’s actually you who want to incarcerate American citizens (who’ve committed zero crimes!) who’s the REAL Nazi’s?

NY Magazine Intelligencer
"Warner Bros asked the Trump orbit how it could improve its relationship. Response from Trump admin pointed to $40 million Bezos paid for Melania's doc and suggested giving Don Jr a Discovery hunting show and more pro Trump voices on CNN."

I'm reading, "Revenge of the Tipping Point" by Gladwell, and maybe he will have an answer. Will keep you posted.

I've often wondered if there is some environmental factor driving the measurably higher rates of mental illness we are seeing these days.

It isn't just Trumptards or America either. It doesn't appear to be merely advanced wealthy countries as well. It seems to be a global phenomenon.

As a historical example, the Romans, especially the elite, drank water distributed from lead pipes and ate food off of lead plates and drank wine from lead cups (but also some really cool glass, which of course contained lead). That had to have impacted their health and may have led to their long-term decline.
