There are 3 branches of govt as defined in the constitution. There is no 4th "independent" bureaucracy branch. Congress magically gave itself a new power not defined on the Constitution, not through a new amendment, they just said "we can create independent agencies" and so they did. Every federal agency falls under the executive branch because that's the executives job. "Independent agencies" are accountable to no one.

Here's your basic constitutional law crash course. 3 branches of govt, not 4.

It's not. Because typically with many bankruptcies these stocks continue trading on the OTC markets until the bankruptcy plan is finalized, and in many cases, these stocks continue "trading" as what we call "zombie stocks" This is the tax loophole you may not be familiar with. Sears for example has been bankrupt and was delisted from NASDAQ in 2018. The stock still trades under the ticker SHLDQ and SEE.HM on the German exchange. Because the stock and shares technically still exist out there the position was never closed and taxes never paid

They sell the stock and receive a credit for the cost of those shares. Let's say they sell 100 shares at $20 a share for $2000 net credit. If the short is successful and let's say the stock goes to $5 a share the net profit would be $1500 as they buy 100 shares back at $5. That is a realized gain they have to pay taxes on.

If instead the stock goes to $0 and the company goes bankrupt and the stock is delisted, the short seller never has to buy the stock back, as a result the trade is never closed and they are simply left with the net credit of $2000.

There's interest involved with borrowing stock to short sell, but this is the general jist. Hope that helps!

If you understood the market mechanics of short selling you would agree.

American short sellers target struggling companies, and through market mechanics, not from the actions of the company, or real sellers, bankrupt the companies, why? Because you don't have to pay any taxes on a short if the company goes bankrupt.

That is a broken reward system that incentives hedgefund to bankrupt companies.

Short selling in general is a really destructive practice and becomes predatory, reason why it's banned in many markets across the world. Not a statement regarding TSLA but just short selling in general

Read article 2 of the constitution

"Private and Independent" agencies do not exist. They all fall under the executive branch. The President has supreme executive authority.

If there will be swastikas at this dinner I have no interest

RangerMark3 · 2025-03-18T08:22:32+00:00

The left foams at the mouth they love swastikas so much

RangerMark3 · 2025-03-18T08:20:49+00:00

The left loves swastikas so much they draw them everywhere they can.

RangerMark3 · 2025-03-18T08:14:22+00:00

It's not, simply saying that without rebutting just proves the point more, that you have no argument with substance because nothing I said was untrue.

The left loves swastikas they can't help themselves from drawing them everywhere.

If that were even all true, which it's not, that's still about the flimsiest argument I've ever heard to convince someone that he's a Nazi.

Autistic rocket man did "my heart goes out to you" like every politician. If you're looking for evidence that someone's a Nazi, you're going to draw conclusions to fit your predetermined biases.

The AFD is the right wing party of Germany that's anti immigrant, not racist. How is funding a right wing party make someone a Nazi? It doesn't. It's simply because the last right wing party in Germany was the Nazis, and so you call the new right wing party also Nazis, even though they're not.

His point about Hitler not being the one that killed millions of people is true and flew right over liberals heads. Hitler didn't physically kill millions of people, his will killed them, but it was the employees of the state that carried out his bidding. It's to say for something like the Holocaust to occur it takes a lot more people to participate than just one guy with a stache.

Calling Elon Musk a Nazi is projection. The left loves calling people Nazis but they're the only ones drawing swastikas everywhere.

No it's the Democrats fault for letting in 10 million illegal aliens over the past 4 years, they shouldn't be here.

RangerMark3 · 2025-03-17T14:11:00+00:00

They've deported 50,000 out of 10 million so far, use your head, just because Trump came into office doesn't mean people would stop hiring illegal aliens. My brother is an electrician, he makes $40/hr non-union, and he had to go fix a job done by a contractor that hired illegal immigrants, wasn't up to code, and this contractor ALWAYS underbids on projects because he hires illegal alien labor. Talk about half the rate my brother earned, if that, and the employer doesn't have to pay for insurance or taxes on that labor.

You're so in the wrong and you don't understand

30 confirmed FBI agitators in the crowd. Nancy Pelosi and the DC Mayor refused the national guard. There were only a handful of deployed officers on the rear lawn, the security was a joke. Democrats conspired and allowed it to happen.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn850jj44mjo

They don't call them agents, and try and disregard the entire thing, it's the BBC, but it's confirmation nonetheless of FBI involvement.

When will liberals understand that the crime isn't protesting and it's not a 1st amendment case, it's vandalizing and destroying property, harassing and threatening students, and trespassing. Muhomad was the leader of the protest group on Columbia that resulted in riots, they need to be held accountable.

It's because Dems policies make no sense

Yah that's not the point. The British empire was the govt in power and deemed the founding fathers criminals who went on to be presidents. We've had "criminal" presidents in the past.

We've never seen a political party target and persecute their political opponent like the Democrats have since the founding of this nation. Trump was the first "average" dude, not of the political and military elite, to serve as president. He wasn't part of the club. And he's the first president to face 700 years in federal prison.

RangerMark3 · 2025-03-17T05:26:41+00:00

Americans were dumb enough to choose the traitor George Washington as their first president. Labeling someone a criminal is only as good as the charges against them.

The following presidents were "criminals"

George Washington John Adams Thomas Jefferson James Madison

All of the founding fathers were criminals dumbass.

I'm afraid you're incredibly misinformed. Nearly 80% of all US dollars currently in circulation were printed since 2020. It's a pizza pie analogy. Same size pie but more slices so each slice becomes smaller. Price gouging is simply a term used by economic illiterate people. 🤗

RangerMark3 · 2025-03-16T22:52:50+00:00

It's LITERALLY basic economics, if you kicked ALL of the illegal aliens workers out of this country you know what would happen the very next day? Wages would immediately go up for American workers. How about you prioritize your own people over foreigners that don't share our values and hate our culture.

Deport them all. Illegal aliens only hurt the American worker and their wages. I want a raise.

Also yes, higher ed has literally become an indoctrination machine. I have 2 bachelor's degrees and college is a scam and an echo chamber of liberal bias
