Joe Ferguson forever

no book needed. summarized in 1 sentence. $1000 invested in S&P 10 years ago, compounded and reinvested is now $3100. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/savingandinvesting/if-you-invested-1-000-in-the-s-p-500-10-years-ago-here-s-how-much-money-you-d-have-today/ar-AA1wjBZW#:~:text=If you had invested a flat %241%2C000 as,assume that you chose to reinvest all dividends. Note that this was 3 months ago, before the orange turd turned the market sour. the bear might well hang around til trump is gone and even then may linger. Not ideal for retirees... it's called capitalism. why do book burning MAGAs care about small bookstores?

yup, if you watch the stock market then you are an oligarch. These people are too clueless or too destitute to be outraged. Those two things ARE related.

umm, a tiny percentage of market investors are oligarchs. but if it makes you feel better, keep believing that.

I was being sincere. You weren't. Just like your party.

I wasn't there. But Montana is beautiful. I love Big Sky. Very conservative. It's telling that they pulled a big crowd there. I presume what they were talking about was the concentration of wealth and policies that promote that such as tax breaks for the ultra wealthy. And I agree. Glad the stock market crashing isn't a big deal to you. That's also telling.

I hope you don't.

I suppose that's true. lying and misrepresenting oneself is par for the MAGA course....

nah, we're yelling "fight the maga's". they don't care about stocks cuz they don't have any.

no ghosts. they're real people like you.

Guess you’ve never heard of extortion and protection rackets. Trump runs these from the White House so u should be familiar.

Cutting science funding to Harvard helps Chine https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/5250224-trump-attacks-american-science/ Why is it important that the U.S. “wins” at science? I’ll use an example from my own field of nanoscience. You might know someone whose cancer was treated with Abraxane, a nanoparticle-based chemotherapy. Let’s now imagine that China develops a new treatment for cancer and decides not to share it with us. Or consider current developments in AI, quantum computing, and brain-machine interfaces. These all have military applications. I would certainly prefer that the U.S., not China, has the most advanced military technologies. I’m not sure whether Trump voters were voting to stop the development of new technologies in the U.S. I doubt they were voting to support the Chinese Communist Party, but that’s the situation we are in now. We need a democracy that protects human rights to be the leader in science. So disgusting that some (or several) teenage girl was forces to go to bed with pos, filthy, gross Dershowitz. Totally appropriate for him to be a MAGA icon however.

thanks drumpf. thanks Elon. Thanks MAGAs. Putin loves you all https://www.mediaite.com/tv/whistleblower-accuses-doge-of-letting-russians-access-government-accounts-in-shocking-security-breach/ “There are two data points that I wanna point out that should give everybody pause,” Bakaj said. “The first thing, what Dan witnessed was that within 15 minutes of DOGE employees creating user accounts, i.e. Usernames and passwords, within 15 minutes of those accounts being created, somebody or something from Russia tried to log in with the right username and right passwords — that is to say — the right credentials. And that happened over 20 times.” “The second data point, which is really critical, is that DOGE has also been using Starlink as a means to exfiltrate data,” he continued. “What that means is that, from our understanding, Russia has a direct pipeline of information through Starlink, which means that anything going through Starlink is going to Russia.” “We also know that this is not unique to the NLRB,” he said. “This is happening government-wide.

I must add, It is impossible to imagine what research can be done for $9billion funding per year. There are countries who don't have $9b. it's 2.2 b this year. The approx 8 billion being threatened is from multi year contracts and grants.... https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2025/4/1/trump-review-harvard-funds/

Hopkins is already #1 in government grants. over $3 billion in 2022. But I think Harvard should just put patents on any research discoveries not publicly funded. trump wants to monetize everything. why shouldn't the elite universities do the same. If harvard does well perhaps all of the top research institutions will do the same. The public can obtain their discoveries from the local open admissions crappy school for free. https://hub.jhu.edu/2024/01/05/nsf-higher-education-research-spending-2022/

I said it was. Then they can. Sell the acquired knowledge to those who oppose public funding

Yes, the endowment is for their general fund. The government helps fund research. Things like assistantships for grad students and money for scientific instruments and supplies to promote knowledge that will help everyone. Maybe they should pay themselves and sell the knowledge to everyone who opposes public funding. You sound like a Maoist

We need to call out the real commies. It’s the MAGAs that want to screw up the world economy because they can’t compete without market manipulation. They’re the ones that want to defund research at arguably the most elite university in the world cuz they’re threatened by elites. Damn marxists.

let's see. I've protested. I've let me senators know how I feel. My congressman is a total douche. I've donated to liberal campaigns. winning here isn't going to change anything except it helps me feel better to know the rank and file opposition is so beatable. plus, I'm ultra competitive....

Smart kids are looking elsewhere. Cuz they’re smart. America watches more brain drain. We’re stuck with the whiney “ working class”. whose fault is they don’t have valuable skills?). MAGA is dumb https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/15/us/canadian-universities-report-jump-us-applicants/index.html

Really? He wants to send homegrown Americans to that prison. You good with that? Remember, Auschwitz wasn’t in Germany. You’re saying the ends justify the means. That never works out well.

Grow your own. Fun and rewarding. Become an American manufacturer just don’t sell to China….or anyone really.

Len, totally mainstream within my social sphere. What is within yours? Deplorables? are you considered mainstream? then you are in weird company. must be all that crossbow you farmers use. the physical findings are meant to document his current height and weight. shrinkage or not...

And the 3rd largest population behind China and India and just ahead of Indonesia and Pakistan. 2 of whom are out producing us.

"Being elite is very, very bad. No one should be elite" I think Lenin and Mao said similar things.. maga is for commies.

of course we're trying to win. look what you losers have wrought on the nation.
