    What's funny is it makes no sense that you'd want to tell the public in advance if you're going to manipulate the market into going up because it potentially ruins the chance for you and your friends to benefit from said manipulation, but he's got a history of doing nonsensical stuff and also having just a tendency to do a lot of his criming in public, so... LOL Should be shocking, but it just isn't at all. Nothing really is though anymore.

    https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/supreme-court-trump-admin-must-facilitate-release-kilmar-abrego-garcia-rcna200284 Well, they're finally standing up to him in regards to at least Mr. Garcia's case. The government didn't really have a leg to stand on here though. Now let's see long it takes to make them comply. That's the real test. Of course we should expect they're gonna try and drag their feet on doing so as long as they possibly can cuz once they bring someone back it does away with the argument that the rest of them can't be ordered to be brought back to get their due process, too.

    More tariff follies today as they apparently made a mistake with their math and said the tariff on China didn't go up to 125% but actually 145%. As you can imagine the markets didn't much like that news.

    Quite pleasant to see its stock price has plunged since the crazy opening it had at the beginning of the month. Wonder how many idiots bought in at $233 a share and lost their shirts.

    Sad thing is that's just business as usual at this point. Be more shocking if they weren't doing stuff like that when we know they've taken all the cops off the beat when it comes to white collar crime now.

    Pressure was building in congress with more republicans openly signing on to the bill to wrest the tariff power away from him, which is what I think ultimately got him scared enough to make a move. I got a say, I'm getting really sick and tired of people saving him from himself. I mean it's good they stopped him from sending the whole country to economic hell, but how much insanity can you allow before you understand what you're enabling. Of course, this isn't over yet, and 10% is still a much higher rate than we had before on the rest of the world. Also, it's supposedly just a 90 day pause, pffft. I can't imagine anyone buys that he's gonna do this all over again 90 days from now. I mean if he does, he'll just be the boy that cried tariff. When it comes to China though... Yeah, I can't see this as sustainable with them either. How long he'll stick with this trade war with them though appears less certain. They're not giving an inch, and if he backs down quickly to them it'll be just an obvious capitulation an total embarrassment for him. My guess is this drags on a bit longer on that front.

    Well, he just caved on everybody but China. Lowered the rest of the world tariff rates to 10% and jacked China up to 125%. So much for sticking to his guns. LOL

    How messed up has this world become for the Chinese government to be throwing Reagan at us now.

    Weren't there supposed to be man-eating fish in the water she was knocking all those guys into though? LOL So maybe not that clean.

    I think it's only because Franky kind of felt a sort of kinship with Senor Pink. If he had a more purely evil opponent without any kind of honor to go against, then I don't think he would of had any problem with just straight off blasting them to hell instead of playing around like he did with Pink.

    Raining punches. Hallelujah.

    I wanna feel sad for the guy, but it's just such a freakin weird backstory explanation for why he dresses like a weirdo. I mean, it makes sense he would do that for her in the hospital to try and make her smile, but to keep dressing like a total baby from head to toe for the rest of your life? That's still just nuts.
  15. Dark_Cloud_Overhead
    Here comes the rain. Had a feeling the baby dying was kinda behind it all.

    Smooth Leo. Real smooth.

    They really killed it this week. Only letdown is no penguins, but I guess I've already seen enough penguin memes this week to last a lifetime.

    Smile. ~zap~ LOL Taken down after all that by a pretty face.

    Another thing is what proof is there that it's not just a hoax by the guy? Until someone actually dies, there's no way to know for sure, but considering he's believed by everyone to be a genius, guess it kind of figures everyone would be predisposed to believe he's serious.

    Whether it's a virus or a drug, really feels farfetched one could ever be developed with such a long time delay before it becomes dangerous to people. Also, some people will take more hapna than others, so wouldn't increased useage result in some people getting sicker sooner? Really would have to be one hell of a genius to create something like that. Also, hard to believe anything that potentially lethal could get past FDA approval without being detected. Given it's the central premise the show is based upon though, guess don't have much of a choice but to just go with.

    Painkiller? What about the Amish? Don't they not believe in taking any kind of modern medicine? Surely there'd be at least some people who didn't take the stuff.

    https://www.smh.com.au/traveller/travel-news/an-australian-was-denied-us-entry-for-bizarre-reasons-he-s-not-alone-20250403-p5lov8.html "One Traveller reader has vowed never to return to the US after he was detained last month for eight hours at New York’s John F. Kennedy airport, while his laptop and smartphone were examined by US border guards. He was finally deported back to Australia. His “crime”? Taking a more circuitous route to the US to save on his airfare, though he stresses he was not accused of any actual “wrongdoing”. “I feel like returning to the US under the current administration would be the equivalent of going back for your hat after escaping a devastating house fire,” says the reader, an Australian citizen who asked not to be named. “I have no wish to be burnt again.” He arrived in the US following a 24-hour flight from Sydney to New York via Hong Kong, with Florida his planned final destination. From there he intended to board a cruise and says he is now $15,000 out of pocket due to the cruise line’s refusal to refund his fare. What the hell are we doing? Seriously, WHAT THE HELL are we doing?! We're turning away now even people just coming to vacay from Australia? How is this at all keeping America safe? Besides from foreign tourist money I mean. Are we just moving to straight xenophobia now? Just really hard to see the rationale behind this one.

    Good for them that they gave this guy the boot. They still got real problems to grapple with looking forward though. I just watched a video a couple hours ago by funny coincidence saying how by 2060 their entire country is looking at a total collapse due to their birth rate being the lowest ever recorded in the history of the world currently. It seems like it's kind of past the point of no return, too, so even if they were to immediately enact some major societal changes somehow, they'd still have some serious, potentially existential, consequences to deal with in just a couple of generations time.

    And I thought Japan had a big problem with its low birth rate, but their situation looks downright rosy compared to South Korea's.
