And the pron shall inherit the Earth.

Wouldn't take long, thanks to their size. Science!

He brings a thoughtful, respectful and contemplative viewpoint to the board. He is liked and should be respected.

Even Obama is encouraging him to drop out. It was painful watching Biden try to get out of a car.

I wish I'd been around here in 2016 when I spent the evening laughing my ass off over the liberal tears and the unopened Cankles champaign bottles that night, which upended the supposed paradigm nationwide and laid bare just how the nation felt at the time. I loved it. Fock Cankles and Obama and Clinton and those fockers. But I do worry about Trump again becoming president. I don't think not supporting Ukraine is wise, and the backlash over a national abortion ban will result in an equal and opposite reaction that will create a lot of country unrest. Let's have some reasonable abortion rules, recognizing the Russia still sucks and that we can find ways to resolve all this chit without either side digging and becoming uncompromising to the point that chit don't get done. Fock extremism. Give Ukraine some shillings to defend itself, no abortions in after the first trimester unless rape, incest or mom's life in danger, fund a kick-ass military, support business, become energy independent, leave the gheys alone, figure out a way to not leave college students in deep debt, take care of the homeless and unemployed, draw a hard and fast line on immigration, and on and on and on.

But those three, those 18. Good job, man!

His wife is hot.

I just want to return to a time where it was OK and few felt like the country was going to hand in a hellbasket over which one won. OK, well Bush lost to Clinton. We're going to be OK. Obama got elected. We're going to be OK. Trump got elected. Biden got elected. We're going to be OK. But I'm genuinely worried that if Trump gets back in that chaos will ensue. I don't want the president to have any more power than that office now has, and I want a system of checks and balances. We all don't get what we want all of the time, but we all get what we want some of the time. Balance. That's really all I want.

Yeah, but at the end of the day, are you making a difference in on kid's life, despite The Man, the system and all the baloney? Just one kid?

Probably on Joe but not so sure on Kamala, and Trump has plenty of time to shoot off his feet one toe at a time over the next few months. A black woman running for president would be a force with which to be reckoned.

How so?

One reason for that is Biden only being able to transfer his war chest to Kamala. It's like $200 million-plus, if I'm not mistaken. Biden can give to her, but that's about it, but I wonder if he could just spend his own war chest on ads for Michelle Obama.

Well, fock the "heavy liberals" who can't focus on unity. And this whole TDS thing is just silly. There isn't such a thing as Trump Derangement Syndrome, nor is there such a thing as Biden Derangement Syndrome. One could relatively apply the same symptoms of TDS to BDS, but those are just idiotic labels to explain away opposition. But we have a unity problem here, and Trump has said he's committed to unity over trashing his opponent and fueling the far-right extreme, thus diffusing the far-left extreme. I'll sit back and listen and see if he puts his money where his mouth is. I've been saying for almost four focking years on this board that everything needs to move to the middle.

Yes, he looked like a softened man grateful to be alive, and it would not have been good had the bullet hit its mark. I've seen it. I have a client, a truck driver, kind of gruff dude who applied for additional coverage, because he and his wife had a baby, but then he got declined, which puzzled me. When I reached out to underwriting about the decline, they said that just days after the application he'd had a horrific accident while driving his truck and was so badly injured that he couldn't be considered for a policy at the time. I called him, and he was a changed man. He had come incredibly close to death, and he said he was so blessed and grateful to be alive. He's still on disability and rehab is coming along, but he's not quite able to get back to truck driving. I suppose I'm lucky and blessed that I haven't been that close to death, but I can imagine that those who do forever see life and the world from a different perspective. Trump just needs to be a reasonable guy instead of a fiery dude who draws unwanted attention in the form of a flying bullet and further nationwide division. While the angry rhetoric might draw more people to him, it also ratchets up the crazy in others. Can't we all just at least try to get along?

You're a public-school middle-school teacher? Good for you, man!

That speech will be forgotten in less time than it took the nation to forget Biden's SOTU speech. Memories run short in politics, and there is a lot of time between now and election day, with a lot of nuttiness sure to occur between now and then. I'm hoping a near-death experience has softened Trump and that he really focuses on unity instead of Biden. We shall see.

Perhaps if the elections were held this week, but already 2024 has eclipsed 2020 as far as unexpected craziness, including Biden's debate disaster and the assassination attempt, and it's almost four months until election day. Game over if Michelle Obama winds up as the nominee.

The last thing Trumpers want is for him to drop out.

You seriously believe that? I'd be in jail if I did. State and federal governments oversee my ass, and everything I do on the investment side goes through a suitabiity department to make sure I'm acting in clients' best interests. Not all investment companies operate that way - such as the clowns who make big commissions off indexed annuities - but ours sure as fock does. Besides, you don't maintain success in this business - particularly in a small town - if you fock over people. I play by the book and don't cut corners, and I've grown my book of business to north of 1,000 clients, with maybe $15 million to $20 million in assets under management.

Check out the mad wealth-management skills here on Whoregan Stanley. So if you're still out 70 percent of your assets and had gotten back 30 percent, that means you got scammed out of 100 percent of your assets, which means you were about as diverse as Yooper DNA. Pretty impressive feat! I've managed to double my assets in the past six or seven years, but based on your mindset, it's better to lose everything and think you're a financial genius for eschewing a tiny management fee than it is to pay 1.5 percent for someone who knows what they're doing with a diverse portfolio and doubling your assets instead of losing all of them. By the way, our M&E fee is based on the premium, not the accumulated value, so never mind that smarmy beyatch on TV who says, "We do better when you do better," which just means she's charging you more fees. We just stay the same when our clients do better. As for as mutual funds, you must be look at dumb ones that have made only 6.5 percent a year. A percentage of my portfolio is in a corporate bond fund that has averaged between 6 and 8 percent every year since 1985, with the exception of 2008-09. If you'd put $10,000 in 1985, you'd have $150,000 now. Not bad! An S&P 500 mutual fund has raked in between 16 and 27 percent each of the past five years, with the exception of 2022. Oh, and as for whole life, our dividend scale is about what you think a mutual fund can get, and the growth is tax-free. Sinking $10,000 into a 10-year custom whole life policy might pay you $20,000 a year in tax-free income for 20 years. All of this totally explains why an anti-semetic Yooper MAGAturd - who believes The Holocaust was staged - would lose all his assets to a scammer and can't grasp that the stock market continues to set records. But carry on with your bad self, Whoregon, because at the rate you're going, you'll be fabulously homeless and up to your ass in insurmountable debt before you know it. Congratulations and have a great evening!

Chitler here says he lost 70 percent of his net worth and then denies losing 70 percent in another thread.

I'm a registered financial advisor with a highly rated and trusted Fortune 100 company, and someone who gets ripped off like you did could benefit from someone like me - who has expertise and serves as a fiduciary - instead of shysters who prey on ignorant Yoopers who think they know everything. Oh, and I love my volunteer work with cats, so the lame attempts at sick burns regarding that subject find no purchase with me, Chitler. Oh, and ...

Racist MAGAturds already going after Vance's wife. https://www.newsweek.com/jd-vance-wife-attacks-maga-trump-running-mate-1926194

He's smarter than someone who loses 70 percent of their retirement.

I got a link for you in my pants, little mister.
