Ok - so looks like the protestors are getting their game on. I would expect this to continue and gain momentum. How quickly before Trump puts in place marshal law? I said by mid to late summer, I was waiting for the temps to pick up and thought it would take a bit longer for the economy to tank. Are we looking at a May/June time horizon?
Nationwide Protests
- Thread starter JasonTAlexanderJR
- Start date
Iowa City? Did it move to the old Capitol at some point? Left about 1:15pm or so when it was still going on but the official rally was on Iowa Avenue on the Joe's Place block.
Very hard to hear the speeches unless you got close, I don't think they were expecting the size of crowd that showed up.
Over 1200 events around the country today. Common theme: big numbers, no violence.
They are a heck of a lot better at it than the January 6th rioters.
Quite surprised and encouraged.
Minneapolis says hi. Tesla says hi. Washington DC historic church says hi. Urban department stores stay hi.
The Capital and democracy says hi. Pence says Hi.
What are they going to bitch about when the market gets back over 50,000 before end of 2026?
I love a good protest song.
Incredible turnout in Des Moines today. It was awesome marching down Locust straight to the Capitol.
Well, genius, considering many people may lose their jobs and nest eggs before that could potentially happen, doesn't seem all that reassuring. What else you got for us Friedman?
Those weren’t political protests. Nobody was waving Biden flags
That's why Trump ran to Maralago after grenading 5 trillion off the stock market.
Yeah MAGAs tend to attack cops, break windows, and crap in government buildings when they do protests. Kinda a character flaw

Oh cool, you guys have an "old capitol" as well!
Yes. It was beautiful. Then the idiots built a high rise behind it.
Take a look at the capital in 1970 and today.
It’s on a CB hill and you can be driving on 27N and it sits high on a hill.
Boston, NYC, Chicago. Damn the number of people….wild
I just wish all of them would have voted for the Black woman then we wouldn’t have to deal with this sh**show

Forgot to mention that this weekend was also Word of the South. So many musicians, artists and writers were not able to attend, as well as promoters and workers setting it all up.
As we passed some setting up in Kleiman Plaza, they cheered us for going.

Well no shit. But it's down, so it has to come "back", and then it will go over 50k.
Then you'll all move onto something else to bitch about. The environment one is going to be a tough sell considering you're burning Tesla dealerships.
Income inequality is always a popular pick. Affordable housing might be another, but then you'll certainly bitch if housing prices drop.
Bitch, complain, excuses, bitch, moan, groan, complain, rinse, repeat. The democratic party.
You're of course assuming that Trump is an economic genius....
Happens when pecking fast on a phone. You should tell us more about mstr.
I found it funny, I do it all the time. Not sure if you are serious or not on Mstr. I am very comfortable with where I am invested . . . Currently but that can always change. If Trump gets a bunch of deals and takes off tariffs, the market, bitcoin and Mstr should take off. If Trump continues the trade war, the market continues to slide, the fed will have to add liquidity which should cause bitcoin/Mstr to take off. Currently deficits look like they will get much worse meaning the government will have to print more dollars, bitcoin/Mstr up. If the world stops buying our bonds or starts selling the dollar, I don’t want my investments effectively in dollars, again bitcoin/Mstr up - honestly this is why I’m invested right now and not on the sidelines. As long as the company doesn’t do something really stupid.
