Somehow I ended up watching an episode of Hudson & Rex in the wee hours of the night here in Georgia, USA. I thought it was all a dream to be honest.

Shockingly, it's in its 8th season.

That one Sarah McLachlan album with the song about your love is better than ice creamโ€ฆ the mister and I enjoyed it a lot one rainy night at the beach, many many years ago in our randy youth.

So far today, Chuck Schumer has said his strategy for preventing Trump sending troops into blue cities is to win over Republican senators (!) while Hakeem Jeffries praised Eric Adams's courage and authenticity (!!) while refusing to endorse Mamdani. Again.

These two gotta go.

Hakeem is a gut punch. Praising Addam's courage? For what? Using his office to enrich himself?

Much courage!

I shall attempt to paint with words.

Imagine Steve Bannon as Iron Man. He's got some issues that he needs to work through. What he has is a large vat of lube, like you can buy forty five gallons of online, like some genius did to the stupid dildo militia where tarp fuck, LaVoy Finecum got himself shot.

Anyway, think of Bannon. Hang on I'm still laughing at Finecum. What a stupid fuck. Right, Bannon mid-arm deep in a bucket of lube because he's going to punch-fuck Stephen Miller, who yells "DONALD" every time Bannon gets more than wrist deep.

I don't see a distinction between Rs and Magas. Maga is simply louder and more visible than these so called Rs. They vote for the same things in the end. One likes to hide it one doesn't. No matter how you slice it they vote for the same things.

Was going back and forth with a 'libertarian' last week. He kept trying to tell me he isn't a rwnj yet he supports their agenda. I said we vote our values and you vote and value the rwnj agenda.

He went on in several paragraphs explaining why. I asked who are you trying to convince me or you. He went on to say he was married, kids, grandkids, etc. WTF does that have to do with anything?

I'm open for anyone who'd like to show me other perspectives.

Stocks are now the second most expensive relative to earnings that they've ever been in ~150 years.

Which makes so much sense considering that $hitler and the Republinazi oligarchs won by vowing to bounce half the workforce outta their jobs with AI and deport 12 million more. (Srsly--who wins by vowing to make half the country unemployed and impoverished???)

Ya gotta razzle dazzle tha morons: IT'S DIFFERENT THIS TIME!

I am not a financial advisor.

I've put most of my money into Euros and gold.

My take: Market gonna crash. AI is bullshit. Tesla's P/E is, what, 200 or something? No, no no no. AI is bullshit. Tariffs are killing American business. It's all gonna go sideways.

Hedge the fuck out of yourself. Gold and euros.

TSLA's P/E ratio is soaring over 255 at the same time that revenues, EPS, and EBITDA are all crashing by double-digit percentages, while operating expenses are surging--THIS IS ALL SO NORMAL.

Can you even imagine next summer once Prezinazi AntiChrist and his MAGAt death cult have total control over monetary policy???
