Took just under a month for the CBC to return to Twitter.

https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/09/politics/george-santos-charged-justice-department/index.html Exclusive: Rep. George Santos charged by Justice Department in federal probe Federal prosecutors have filed criminal charges against New York Rep. George Santos, the Republican lawmaker whose astonishing pattern of lies and fabrications stunned even hardened politicos, according to three sources familiar with the matter. Santos is expected to appear as soon as Wednesday at federal court in New York’s eastern district, where the charges have been filed under seal. The exact nature of the charges couldn’t immediately be learned but the FBI and the Justice Department public integrity prosecutors in New York and Washington have been examining allegations of false statements in Santos’ campaign finance filings and other claims.

Guess we have our answer. Hes walking away from $25M that Foxs owes him in order to launch his Twitter show. Musk probably offered him a pretty penny to do his broadcasts there. He brings a ton of eyeballs with him wherever he goes.

Yupppp. Twitter only show now.

Already being spun online that he wasnt liable for Rape so once again they couldnt make anything stick.

$5 Million payout

To be fair, their other tanks are busy rusting in the fields of Ukraine. Its pretty telling if they can only muster a single tank for the parade. They really have run through their reserves.

Some just stunning video coming out from Bakhmut today. The Russians are apparently covering the entire city in white phosphorus to try and burn anything and everything to the ground. They are burning anything that is left to the ground before they retreat next week. Its absolutely a War Crime, but sadly nothing is going to come from this.

Thats big news. If Russia is starting to evacuate areas then the counteroffensive is either underway our about to get underway, and Russia expects to lose when it gets going.

The thing everyone seems to keep thinking is that she doesnt need to move a whole lot of support to win. Its at least a 3 way race, so she realistically will need to get somewhere between 35-45% of the vote to win. Is that hard? Oh yes, yes it is. But its not impossible. A lot depends on the other candidates as well. Seems like the GOP is poises to nominate the batshit insane Kari Lake. If it is her then theres a significant number of GOP voters who will be looking elsewhere to vote, and it wont be for the Democrat. Democrats seem ready to nominate someone pretty far to the Left as well. Depending on how far left they go that could alienate a bunch of voters. Hispanic voters arent anywhere near as liberal as the media wants to make them out to be, particularly on issues like Abortion. So theres another chunk of voters she can pick up. Independents could easily be turned off of both Dem and GOP options, so theres even more to Sinema. Im not saying she is going to win, but its much easier for her to win than people want to admit, particularly in a state like AZ that has a history of bucking the trend and voting for their "mavericks".

There were articles posted to r/Politics a week or two ago about how local Democrats were concerned that she could win because of her support from DC Democrats. They want her to be cut off completely and removed from all assignments, but DC Dems wont do that for a few reasons including the raw math in the Senate right now. DC Dems are building her incumbency credentials which could be enough to get her over the top, and local Dems are frustrated with that.

The press conference by the Fed yesterday also helped build more doubt into the system. Whole lot of stuff he said can be taken to say "Yea, were going to run this economy into the ground to get inflation under control".

https://news.gallup.com/poll/505439/half-worry-money-safety-banks.aspx About Half in U.S. Worry About Their Money's Safety in Banks WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Amid turbulence in the U.S. banking system, nearly half of Americans are anxious about the safety of the money they have in accounts at banks or other financial institutions. A total of 48% of U.S. adults say they are concerned about their money, including 19% who are “very” and 29% who are “moderately” worried. At the same time, 30% are “not too worried” and 20% are “not worried at all.” We really are speed running the 20s arent we? Despots rising around the world, economic troubles, and now maybe runs on the bank? Buckle up everyone, this isnt over yet!

https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/30/politics/senate-race-rankings-may-elections/index.html The 10 Senate seats most likely to flip in 2024 The Tl;dr is this 1. Manchin - D WV 2. Tester - D MT 3 Brown - D OH 4. Sinema - I AZ 5 Rosen - D NV 6. Baldwin - D WI 7. Stabenow (retiring) 0 D MI 8. Casey - D PA 9 Cruz - R TX 10 Cruz - R FL Its not a bad list, but a few seats are out of order. The #1 spot should be Brown of OH. That seat is 100% going to flip to the GOP. Ohio is now a deep red state who will elect anyone with an R next to their name. They just elected JD Vance after he ran one of the worst campaigns possible, and he won fairly comfortably. Texas and Florida can be removed from this list all together as well. Neither state are flipping Democrat in 2024, even if Trump is on the Ballot. I get they had to find the top 10, but those are very safe seats. Tester might be able to be dropped lower as well. He has shown a remarkable ability to win in years when the GOP dominate. Some of that is luck with some bad GOP candidates, but he is resilient. Manchin is a total enigma. He hasnt even said if he is going to run or not. He he has said he wants to return to being Governor of WV, and with his GOP challengers getting stronger by the day now would make sense for him to bail. But will he? Even if he doesnt I do think this is the year when he loses his Senate race. The GOP have brought in some very high caliber candidates who should be able to take him down in a state as red as WV. NV, WI, and MI probably dont flip. PA is a maybe, but with Biden on the ticket probably not. PA likely stays Blue. AZ is a total wildcard. Can Sinema pull it off? Theres already rumblings that local Democrats are worried that she can. Its still super super early, and a lot will depend on candidates, but right now I would say its safe to say the GOP pick up 2 seats minimum in 2024, and Democrats potentially flip AZ.

Theres no way that drone attack was Ukraine. Its perfectly staged for Russia to use as propaganda and an excuse to do even worse war crimes in Ukraine.

Well thats not ominous at all.

If you want stonks, then short anything that Cramer says is a good buy.

We're not done yet! The Inverse Cramer strikes again!

The fact that this is even needed in the first place is insane. If you own something you should be allowed to fix it.
