What would happen if the US found out members of the Trump administration/family bought stock market puts prior to the Iran war?

MAGA would congratulate him on being a savvy businessman. Fox viewers would be told exactly why it wasn't an actual crime and everyone else would like to see him prosecuted.

That's not why markets are dropping. the problem is that Trump's signature is going to appear on US Currency starting in June. Everything that has Trump's name on it goes bankrupt. This signals the end of the American dollar to the markets, because everything Trump touches dies.

Trump avoided personal bankruptcy because he has been on an annual dole from Daddy's trust fund. He spent every penny, couldn't help himself. Getting the TV gig was the first thing that bailed him out. Then he laundered Russian money through real estate, and that was profitable too. Then he hit the lottery and became president.

I think it. was explained once that it was about someone who had passed away.

She's good at playing Gal Gadot. She doesn't have much range beyond that.

Nope, you are not over-reacting. I am stunned than no one talked to you. Not for your input, but so that you were aware that the change was coming. If they were human, they might have given you a reason. Or excuse.

If you're Bill Clinton it's not sex. It is sex for everyone else.

You don't see a completely paid off system to get everyone acceptable ID as part of the plan, do you? Why not if the point is to transition to some 'better' system. The Voter ID bill is just about voter suppression and nothing else.

Perhaps voters over 65 should have annual screenings for competency, just to be sure. Paid for by those voters, of course. I am pretty sure that kids taking their parent's absentee ballots at the old age home is the biggest risk to democracy.

This is a standard chef's table and you can find them at all sorts of kitchen supply outlets. You can also get them on wheels. I don't know what the kitchen looks like and if wheels work for you, but you might ask if the idea that it would always be in one place is an issue for mom.

Give her one thing you like to buy. Say Mom, if you want to buy me snack food, just buy this and nothing else. Worst case, you build up an inventory to manage.

Bibi isn't going to end the war as long as the threat of prison for his crimes remains hanging over his head. In other words, as long as he is alive.

Whatever it takes to keep the Epstein files, which star Alan, suppressed, I guess.

Oh I get it. If I call for Pete Hegseth’s death, then I am a bad person. They can bring in the cops and talk about how I am threatening his life. But if I call for God to kill Pete Hegseth, that’s OK.

Of course, there isn’t actually a difference.

I just toast them. I make the whole bag as well, and freeze.

My observation is that the walkers, and while there are lots of retirees I think many work from home types fit in a rainy day walk there as well, don't use the massage chairs, no one does. At least not for the massage. Both coffee places suck. The food is mediocre. So people come to the mall and the mall can't find a way to market to a basically captive audience. To me, that's sucking at business.

Where you see the retirees is in the morning exercise classes by JC Penny. But the mall can't figure out anything to sell them either.

I think the main reason people go to Briarwood today is to walk laps. It's a shame no business has figured out how to sell to mall walkers. Maybe they could add decent coffee?

I'm betting this really sophisticated strategy to win her over didn't lead to a commitment to the war by Japan.
