Good point.

+1 I bought ARLP a few years back when Biden said he was going to kill coal. It's been a BIG $$$ winner.

I own both of them. Good investments for me.

Now back to President Trump.

Guys, buy low, sell high, and let's move on.

Check out that photo-op at the WH this afternoon with Netanyahu that turned into a 50 minute press conference.

Remember how Droolin' Joe behaved at such events? He'd sit there with some world leader or other and he might mumble a thing or two to that person while the press took pictures. When that was done, the press would shout questions at him and Biden would get that stupid fucking look on his face and he would hold up his hands and say "Stop" or "Whoa whoa whoa."

Oh, look what you've done, people! You've flustered grandpa with your noise!

Idiotic, worthless motherfucker

Then, his "staffers" (who were really the ones in charge) would form a phalanx and force the press out of the room while threatening them with death. Four years of that pointless shit!! Answer questions, you fucking puppet! You work for us, not the other way around.

Now we have a president who is the most accessible of any POTUS of the modern era, perhaps ever.

Everyone can see it and this is undeniable- even by those who hate him.

Merit TV has all of the White House interviews, etc.
I am not sure where President Trump gets all his energy. I am thankful I have lived long enough to see this day.

TRUMP SNEEZED

I’ve been contemplating a metaphor for all that’s happening with tariffs. The best I can manage is:

A swift Trumpian kick in the ass, and the world listens.

Just a thought (won't happen but would be apropos): for any of the manufacturing that's created in the US as a result of the tariffs, the left who opposed the tariffs need not apply. All jobs will be first given to republicans.

If they don't want to bring back mfg to the US, then they shouldn't reap the rewards.

Oh, my God.

Pimp slap.

I don't like Pepsi, I far prefer Coke, but I guess I'll need to develop a taste for Pepsi if Sharpton wants to boycott it.

I'm curious what the result of this will be:

I'll sum up the Tariff thing in simple terms.

Other countries reacting to US 25% Tariff

Other countries when confronted about their 100%+ Tariffs against the US


Bottom line is no country wants Tariffs against them, but will do everything they can to Tariff everyone else.

Similar situation to the kid that's been bullied to the point where he loses it and punches the bully square in the nose and the bully freaks out "HOW DARE HE!!!"

To anybody complaining about the short-term pain of rising prices.... the tens of millions of jobs that will be generated by the tariffs will mean upward pressure on wages that will easily offset price increases. Look what happened to wages during COVID when a few million jobs opened up as restrictions eased.

That's all fine and dandy unless you're on a fixed income that doesn't go up...

Hmmm.... I wonder if the RICO statute applies in this case. Pam Bondi should look into this. Time to shut that race hustler down.
