I won't hide or ignore this. :)

I voted for the Orange guy. LOL

I agree with things on both sides, that's the honest truth.

I lean more to the right which is why I voted for the Republican. Both candidates were terrible, I think everyone can agree on that.

I'm not a fan of him, that's also the honest truth. Even though I voted for him, I've said the best thing for this country is for him to die. I'm almost positive if you looked hard enough you would find that statement from me on here.

Once again, I voted for the party I'm closer to. I certainly don't look at him as my guy.

The country needs to get closer together and it can't do that with
I appreciate the honesty. If you’ve seen all the things Trump has done, if you’ve even found yourself hoping he’d disappear from public life but still voted for him, maybe it’s time to ask whether blind party loyalty is really worth it. I’m certain, you would be better off today if Harris was in office. She wasn’t the best candidate but in comparison to Trump, she was a godsend. Trump is a disaster who could do some real long lasting damage to our country if he already hasn’t.

I appreciate you owning it, but you have to know you voted for the most divisive politician in multiple generations right? With Trump at the helm no one is coming together.

Now when you used to post…uh…risqué pics… that united most of the dudes on here. I think we were all pretty happy with those threads.
 
Your whole gd party needs to die if we're talking about the truth.
I’d be content if Republican voters simply stopped consuming news sources that relentlessly demonize liberals. So much of the hatred stems from a warped caricature of what Democrats and liberals actually believe and represent. This is a major mental block that keeps so many republicans from seeing things for what they are.
 
This is a very stupid post FYI. The trump bump occurred right after he won the election. The reason the SP went up Nov-Dec was because Trump victory. It fades after a few months.
If you want to miss the returns, start investing on 1/20.
April fools day was 6 days ago.

This is a list of excuses. There is no Republican party absent Trump so you voted for Trump...just own it. You voted for a felon. You voted for an adjudicated sexual abuser who bragged about walking in on teenage girls while they were undressed and about being able to grab women by the pussy and getting away with it. You voted for a man who has bankrupted six businesses and cheated on all three of his wives. You voted for a man who instigated a violent insurrection to try and prevent the peaceful transfer of power after he lost an election. You voted for a petty, vindictive, psychopathic, pathologically lying, narcissistic wannabe tyrant. And his "party" has never once held him accountable for ANYTHING and refuses to stand up to him now.

He is your guy so quit trying to pretend otherwise.

Nazis eventually died. So must the GOP. It's beyond saving.


Huey, I hope you can take this for what it's worth, for someone who acknowledges and is proud of being a socialist to be against what the GOP is doing that only reaffirms we are on the right path.

The people aren't going anywhere though, so it would just be the same thing re-branded.

The GOP needs to reform itself and take responsibility for the direction of it's party. I'm not confident, but a same alternative to Trump could make it happen.
 
Trump tariffs have smoked our economy. Are you claiming otherwise?
When the vix goes above 50 it bodes well for the markets on a 1,3,5 year forward looking. Never in history has the market been down 12 months after vix crosses 50. Just like the market has never been negative in a mid term election year. Markets go up, they go down. What I’m saying is don’t judge on 2-months. 2022 was far worse, only saw that decline 3x in history. Let’s revisit this in 1-year and see where it’s at. If I’m right you take a year break from HROT. If I’m wrong I’ll take a break for 1-year. You do honor your bets, correct?

Can you say how many times, and why it has ever gone above 50?

If it's like a handful of times and always associated with disaster, I don't think I wouldn't say that "bodes well".

More like, when sh!t goes so far sideways, the only way to go is up.

What we’re seeing now isn’t just the end of a so-called “Trump bump.” It’s deliberate economic sabotage, needless and reckless. The economy was gaining momentum, and now it’s being derailed. Jobs will be lost, businesses will shutter, and the cost of everything is about to soar.

Trump has been a disaster in all areas since taking office. He’s completely clueless and destroying the country.

The country needs to get closer together and it can't do that with him alive. :)

It can't do that with him in power. If he would have lost again it's possible the R's would have come to their senses a bit. Instead they have just had it confirmed that his style of politics is how to win elections.

It will take a lot of losing to change their minds on this.

Genuinely curious, the whole Project 2025, authoritarian thing never caused you concern enough to not vote for him? Where it appears to be coming to fruition? The surrounding himself with yesmen? Fighting with the Judicial Branch? Not picking a fight, just trying to understand….
