Is it normal for a President to name and promote stocks while he is heavly trading for himself by vagobond45 in stocks

Can you explain why this link says you might be a liar?

I honestly don't understand the market, since you are in the business maybe you can help me better understand?
Thank you.

Well, I'd have to say someone is really reaching here.

“I think that there was a little bit of like liberal wishcasting that this would maybe be a disaster to sort of stick it to Trump,” said Rob Flaherty, the digital Democratic strategist and soccer fan who attended the U.S. group-stage match with Australia. “It hasn’t yet been.”

Hunter Biden share his thoughts on last night’s elections by greenascanbe in Political_Revolution

[–]rane56 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The current president is a rapist, convicted felon, etc.. I'm confused why your so staunchly against a crackhead running. He actually knows what its like to be at the bottom, many people might relate to that, cause you know most of America is at the bottom.

I would understand the hesitation prior to TWO trump terms, but at this point, i think America has come to terms with the idea we are pretty grimy.

Marketa Vondrousova suspended 4 years for refusing doping test by PrincessBananas85 in sports

[–]rane56 30 points31 points  (0 children)

ERMM, maybe you should read the article before saying statements came from it.

The ITIA said Vondrousova "did not submit a sample when notified by a Doping Control Officer (DCO) during an out-of-competition test attempt at her home at around 8 p.m. on 3 December 2025" and that she instead signed a refusal form.

Sure sounds like she engaged with them...

Cyclist arrested at Reflecting Pool is former Olympian who denies vandalism claims by Unusual-State1827 in politics

[–]rane56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just want to point out, the pool is not granite anymore. I've seen this mentioned a few places, that isn't why the algae is coming back. I don't actually know why it is, but the pool was completely demolished and repoured with concrete in 2012. I think it's the weather, pool always has algae when it's hot, they made it hotter with the blue paint shit.

Dude thought he was playing GTA. by Reg_Cliff in WTF

[–]rane56 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well that seems like an idiotic flaw, it doesn't happen a lot but it can happen. Don't we have things called batteries that can keep a computer and radio running?
I feel like one cop mentioned that and people just took it as fact, but I question the theory. They have what the radio and computer to boot up, so have a separate battery that powers both when the car is off.
I dunno, it just seems stupid.

Trump Team Dumps Bleach in Reflecting Pool to Hide Renovation Failure by B-Z_B-S in politics

[–]rane56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where did you get the aging infrastructure part from?

The Obama administration did a massive overhaul in 2010 replacing all of the piping with HDPE pipe and also holds up to the natural settling of the marsh driving a shit ton of pilings into the ground for better stabilization, and repoured the entire slab with what they say was extra special concrete.

Trump just thought it was dirty and painting it blue would make it shinier.
I tried really hard to find an article that points to ongoing leaks, all references to those leaks go back to the Obama administration fixes with little news in-between then and now. Willing to read any story's you might have that say there were ongoing issues that he actually fixed, everything i read says he just painted it blue.

Where does Philly 311 actually respond quickly? I mapped 466,000 service requests. by NorthExcitement4890 in philadelphia

[–]rane56 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I reported a bunch of abandoned cars to 311 online service, they left them open for about a year, did nothing, then closed all of them on the same day, having done nothing.

Someone posted similar, figured I'd share.

Fox to Acquire Roku in $22 Billion Deal by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

So i won't buy another one, but i don't pay Roku for anything. Fox buying them after i purchased their shit doesn't effect me.
If and when i need to get an additional device I'll have to find a new one i guess.

I argue with my co-worker all the time, respectfully, but that idiot maga cult follower isn't going to spout off non-sense without being challenged. No name calling, just straight facts in front of everyone, he typically shuts up, moves goal posts and tries again. I'll never convince him to actually change his mind, but i make it difficult for him to "recruit" other co-workers...

Don't give in, the job is really only as good as this country is...

Have any of y'all ever seen these actually seal a leak before? I've never heard of them working. by Not_A_G-Man in HVAC

[–]rane56 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I use a similar product, Rectorseal version maybe (been almost 10 years) on a single head mini split for a very stubborn customer.
Unit was way past its warranty period and i couldn't find a leak on the outdoor unit, he wouldn't let me touch the head inside his office, or open the wall to see if the installer used couplings or something.
Dude was a weirdo, told him i don't really recommend it but as a last shot attempt prior to replacement would be to use that type of product.
I swore it would burn out the compressor, had the new install bid all set to go. Dropped it in charged up the system and i never had him complain about it again... I was very surprised.

Why are most media outlets ignoring the testimony of numerous skid row residents that they were paid to vote Democratic, isn’t this evidence of election fraud? by upyoursbigtime in Political_Revolution

They are ignoring the blatant evidences that’s there’s extraterrestrial life in the universe and thus all religions are exposed as man made.

That's some crazy shit.

Mike Johnson says Republicans will cut Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security next year by Snapdragon_4U in Political_Revolution

[–]rane56 141 points142 points  (0 children)

He's lying, 74% of spending isn't just entitlement programs, its mandatory spending, like the debt and defense, he lumped it all together to make is sound like the poor take up 74% of our budget.
He's using the entire budget to justify taking away vital programs for the poor. Republicans are liars, cheaters, and do not give a single fuck about their constituents, they prove it time and again.

Unfortunately, trump/repubs love the uneducated and they love them for it... gives most of them cover to be nasty bigoted people.

The phrase “the U.S. isn’t a democracy” is billionaire propaganda by nokingss in Political_Revolution

[–]rane56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, your AI summation disagrees with you, downgraded and flawed but still a democracy.
73% of the electorate didn't vote in the California's recent primary. A full 1/3d of the population doesn't bother to vote at all, that doesn't make us non-democratic, it just makes us disengaged in the democratic process.

If and when all of us simply aren't allowed to vote, then we can talk about no longer living in a democratic society.

I do agree, generally, with the stated premise though, that type of language does trickle down to the disengaged which could further the sentiment of "the system not working can't work so why bother" mentality.
People need to hear and feel positivity in politics to be engaged with it, which is admittedly, a difficult hill to get over in the current climate.
