    Trump Announces Plans To Bring Back Fort ROBERT E. LEE

    No. It's silly that they ever changed it from Robert E Lee. I like & agree with what the guy articulated in his rant. Basically that you get a bunch of young God hating, guilt ridden, white liberals who think they can change things simply by changing the name of the park, instead of actually working to address the problems that exist for Native Americans today. Hope that answers your question.

    Trump Announces Plans To Bring Back Fort ROBERT E. LEE

    Absolutely. Such a silly nation we've become. This thread reminds me of something that happened some years ago in my hometown Of Mankato Minnesota. They wanted to change Sibley Park to something else. A group of libtards (none of which were native Americans) @ the state university came up with the idea. Pulled this quote from something called craigslist rants and raves. This guy articulated it perfectly. Yet another disheveled group of dipshites trying to make themselves feel good by engaging in what they perceive as social justice. If you want to do something productive how about you take your Ph.D. and do some of the heavy-lifting. Work to close the wage gap for Native Americans that are actually living right now. How about you work on reducing substance abuse, domestic abuse, or homelessness crisis in this community? You don't because it's hard work and won't get your name in the paper. Christ, don't you folks ever get tired of engaging in public catharsis?

    Death Pool Update: Sly Stone at 82...

  11. I hear ya. Part of the problem is that institutions usually own the vast majority of outstanding shares & have the votes required to oust someone, but in all but the most extreme cases, choose to look the other way ? I know, that doesn't make any sense. It would be in their best interest to get rid of poor management, which in turn would make their funds and ETFs look better, but they don't? Another problem is the SEC. They got no backbone. If Musk did something illegal, they should've come down on him, but they didn't because corruption is everywhere. They aren't like those agents on the Wolf of Wall Street. I've been a somewhat active investor since the mid-90s & Elon Musk isn't the 1st to get away with things like that, and he won't be the last. Lastly, and I hate to say this because I still make investing mistakes, but a lot of the shareholders out there seem to be at least slightly developmentally disabled. Kraft & Heinz merged in 2015. It's been an absolute disaster. Since Warren Buffett/Berkshire Hathaway were involved, long-suffering shareholders insist on holding, because if those 2 aren't selling, good times must lie ahead. There's a reason they aren't selling. Shortly before the merger took place, Buffett exercised special warrants only available to him, giving him the right to purchase 46.2 million shares for about $462,000, or about one penny each. He also owns enough preferred shares to pay him dividends of $720 million per year. I've posted that information on the yahoo comment section around 5 times over the past 2 years. These morons react by giving me thumbs down and/or calling me a liar. I say fock em if they're too lazy/stupid to look up the information themselves. Like PT Barnum allegedly said, "there's a sucker born every minute"
  12. That last paragraph is accurate, but it could describe 100's of CEOs.
  13. I got my chance Friday. 400 shares (TSDD) @ $26.77 got lucky as that was close to the low of the day & it closed at $27.86 I don't know that it's Elon manipulating the stock price. I think investors are just such fanboys, that they hold onto it like a rusty vice grip. Look at the bottom line, the most important fundamental. YOY (EPS) over the past 5 quarters. -44% -46% +17% -74% -71% In spite of those figures, shares are currently selling at 171x trailing eps. Investors are putting a tremendous amount of hope into the Robo taxi business. Me, not so much. I don't dislike Elon, & still think that long-term (assuming the entire world doesn't crater under its massive debt) Tesla will be fine. If it wasn't for the fact that the shares are held in a taxable account & the capital gains would severely impact my health insurance premiums, I'd sell all the shares now, pay the capital gains tax, & wait for a more opportune time to reestablish a position.

    Ever been suspended from school?

    Never got kicked out, but got the board of education in eighth grade for getting into a fight in shop class. I never did that again.

  16. I do remember that. I think it was referred to as 'alternative lifestyle' back then.

  18. Hypothetically, let's say your daughter was the star player on the team who lost the state championship, to the team with a trans (male) pitcher. Can you honestly say you wouldn't be at least a little bit upset ?

    Elon says that Trump is in the Epstein files.

    I have to say this one makes the most sense. I've owned Tesla since 2017 and it hasn't been doing well at all this year. The shite really hit the fan today down $47 My personal conspiracy theory goes something like this. 'If' those poor sales are due to those on the left despising Musk since he got tight with Trump, he wants to reverse that. What better way than to have a blowup with him & make it appear as if he's distancing himself. Of course the other side of the coin, is that he could upset militantly pro Trump supporters who may have been considering buying a Tesla in the future. Just my $0.02

    Hey Weepaws!

    Another one. I suppose cases like this are somewhat rare, so the liberals figure no problem. https://www.wisconsinrightnow.com/martin-g-garcia-leal/
