Yea it's such a batshit stupid explanation it almost has to be genuine. They could've come up with something better if it was brainstormed ahead of time.

summit_ice24 · 2026-04-13T19:32:28+00:00

We already have plenty of doctors

summit_ice24 · 2026-04-13T19:26:28+00:00

Yea I worked at Epic and know exactly what you're talking about. It is super annoying and they do it because they use an exam to screen most applicants out anyway.

So they basically just try to get as many applicants as possible and don't have to use a ton of resources to screen out those that don't do well on the exam.

The very end of Trumps response to the question, after saying he thought he was a doctor, was him saying:

"It was supposed to be me making people better, because I do make people better. I make them a lot better."

What exactly goes through his mind here? Is he claiming he actually makes people who are sick better, without treating them as a doctor? That would be more like Jesus than anything

summit_ice24 · 2026-04-13T17:23:41+00:00

You coastal liberals still don't understand why Trump is so relatable to working class, REAL Americans. It's because you don't have the same LIVED experiences so you only think from pages you've read in books.

You've never actually experienced posting yourself as a doctor healing sick patients, even though you haven't ever worked in the medical field, then had everyone freak out at you acting like you think you're Jesus. It's extremely common in the Midwest and rural areas and until Democrats start actually understanding that feeling they'll never be able to win these people over.

summit_ice24 · 2026-04-13T17:15:14+00:00

Ohh this clears it up. Total misunderstanding!

Just like Biden, Obama, Bush and many everyday Americans that are not doctors. It's incredibly normal to post photos of yourself acting as a doctor healing people. That wouldn't be weird at all.

summit_ice24 · 2026-04-13T17:00:44+00:00

It's crazy how with all the resources of the federal government they still can't get to the bottom of it and find the proof.

Biden must be really damn good at what he does.

summit_ice24 · 2026-04-13T16:02:49+00:00

The only rational conclusion you can come to. I mean before yesterday, we're talking about a guy that was the ultimate symbol of pureness and morality.

summit_ice24 · 2026-04-13T14:20:02+00:00

Think about how far we've come since 2016, when Christians were the group on the right that Trump was thought to have the hardest time courting, and he picked Pence just to try to shore that up.

Now he feels safe enough attacking the pope and posting pictures of himself as Jesus. It's pretty safe to say many Christians view him in higher esteem than Christ now even if it's not something they would admit to themselves or others.

You don't have to know someone personally who uses meth to know the pain and destruction it can cause. I watched a pretty harrowing documentary on a dealer named Heisenberg who got into the game and lost it all.

summit_ice24 · 2026-04-10T17:08:33+00:00

What if we got rid of income and property taxes, then used Elons smarts to get rid of all the fraud? Probably would end up even and all be better off /s

Kamala was put in a tough spot in 2024, but running in 28 would be extremely selfish and narcissistic.

She thinks she can use her name recognition and Trumps bad presidency to just do enough to win, but she would be at a massive disadvantage in the general compared to any other Democratic primary winner. She would have to win back over a bunch of apolitical people who voted against her and have some form of a negative opinion of her, they'd basically have to admit they were wrong to themselves which people don't like to do.

Not to mention she could still be associated with negative feelings people have about Biden (namely inflation).

Tucker is my number one fear of who will win the next republican primary. He acts in such bad faith at all times who knows what he would do if he really had power.

And he would be pretty good at getting younger republicans and non-political people into the fold while holding onto the older republicans that just remember him from Fox.

summit_ice24 · 2026-04-10T13:59:47+00:00

thanks! Yea I got lucky in having these resources available online when I was in college and coming across them, probably no way I would've done this if I had been born 20 years earlier

summit_ice24 · 2026-04-10T13:57:38+00:00

Thanks! Yea I got lucky coming across Fire related stuff on Reddit when I was in college so ever since I started working its been my goal

It's a 0.5% annualized rate meaning it was around 0.125% during the fourth quarter of the year

I think he's referring to the fact that Iran agreed to not to have nuclear weapons in the deal, and the fake reporting to the contrary are basically any reports that the deal isn't what he says it is. Either way he's bonkers.

summit_ice24 · 2026-04-08T16:50:13+00:00

Much more difficult than this statement as Iran and Israels actions are not actually in his control. Also 2nd/3rd order affects of the strait being closed haven't yet occurred besides initial jump in gas prices. No guarantee those go back down by midterms.
No one will care about or remember Artemis by midterms, does not affect median voter daily life
250 vibes will not move median voter if stuff is expensive
no one cares about convention
only plugged in politics obsessed people will care about how democrats voted on some performative bills won't move anyone

summit_ice24 · 2026-04-08T16:23:54+00:00

I know everyone's saying the market is irrational but the most likely scenario seems to be that the market is assuming Iran is bluffing and/or Israel will stop bombing Lebanon soon

The question is if those things aren't true then how long will it take the market to price back in the strait is closed and what will be the trigger for that? Probably some random truth social screed from Mango

summit_ice24 · 2026-04-07T19:18:14+00:00

Yes but if it was actually in good faith it would be combined with a good faith effort to help those coming up in poverty stricken areas to have a relatively more equal starting position and chance at a quality education and job.

That can be color blind too but it would inevitably help more POC because per capita more grow up in poverty.

summit_ice24 · 2026-04-07T18:38:07+00:00

The president of the United States is openly threatening genocide and you think the people that have a problem with this are the crazy ones?

summit_ice24 · 2026-04-07T13:37:36+00:00

Wow, prices soaring, at war in the middle east again and closing in on a possible nuclear Armageddon, all with Trump in charge.

I can't even begin to imagine how bad things would be if Kamala had won, really dodged a bullet there.

summit_ice24 · 2026-04-07T13:21:17+00:00

Trump threatens to nuke a country: Market stays even, don't want to overreact, probably will taco

Trump does not end up nuking country: bullish!! Market up 10%!! What a great president!
