5% is a free fall? They’re going to run out of superlatives next month.
Lemmy User Slams Rawstory
Lemmy user verbally eviscerated in legendary comment thread [xpost MurderedByWords CleverComebacks]
I seem to remember visiting their homepage last year sometime, and every headline was some variation on [Name of politician][aggressive verb][target of ire][reason for the spat], e.g.:
- “John Bloggins slams Joe Blow for wearing a plaid tie”
- “Mary Sue rips Judicial Committee for goat scandal”
- “Peter Flarking haymakers Geraldo over unreturned library books”
“MAGA republicans slam Trump for …” and your read the article and it’s one isolated tweet from some rando nobody heard of before.
Wait til these idiots try to abolish the FDIC.
People know that banks engage in all sorts of complex, stupid, and risky financial derivatives engineering. The only reason anyone has confidence in the banks is due to FDIC insurance. If they fuck with that, it will trigger a run on every bank in the country. I imagine Congress would step in to stabilize things, but it could be quite hairy for awhile.
Honestly, right now, for those who are able, keeping a decent chunk of cash in your mattress is no longer the game of cranks and weirdos.
Most people have no idea what FDIC is. They have confidence in banks because “that’s where you put money”. They have no concept of what their personal bank failing would mean.
If Musk said he was shutting down the FDIC, the vast majority of people wouldn’t care until after their bank failed. By then it would be too late.

I assume you meant stabilize, but given that Congress is controlled by Republican freaks, I’m unsure.
Are you surprised!? It has always been based on feels unless you think (check notes) Telsa is worth $360 per share.
I know, right? If you look at the PE ratio between say, Ford, and Tesla, it’s almost comical.
Shhhh the cybercucks might hear you.
Cybertrucks can’t hear very well. They have rust in their ears
Bullshit. A significant % of the US population is still cheering this on. Nothing will change.
I think if they want him to stop doing a coup our politicians need to physically stop them.
Or we need to. Like the constitution says.
Perhaps if they blocked him with their wheel chairs.
The voters fucking love him. are you kidding me? fuck this fake news bullshit. voters lick this guy’s asshole
Yes, my BiL is a-okay with everything so far and is not shook in the slightest. It is mind-boggling.
It’s cause Fox is telling them how great everything he’s done is. They aren’t seeing the reality.
A couple of years ago I tried talking to him about branching out with his information sources. It obviously did not work. Nothing that president Musk and his lackey trump are doing would appear to affect him (yet) so there’s zero empathy for anyone who is.
I’d love to shake him loose from this, but I don’t really know how. I don’t have much skill in breaking cult worship.
I’ve seen more “straight” white men willing to get down on both knees for this guy and let him do as he pleases. These single-digit IQ people will go to the grave thinking he’s the guy. It’s pathetic.
He can fuck it all up, and they’ll still somehow manage to blame Democrats. I have yet to see any people who voted for him actually come to say they regret it. These are not critical thinkers. Republicans won in the early 2000s when they began gutting public education.
Lol, fucking Trump bump? The minute that fucking clown was sworn in the markets fucking tanked. Markets were fucking killing it under Biden, I was up over 60%. Since Trump was sworn in, I’m only up 30%.
The only Trump bump is the one in the ass of his pants with he’s shit his diaper
Oh nonono. You break it, you buy it - 4 years of hell will hopefully teach you damn cultists to fucking never ever do this again. Or choke on it, as long as it’s over I don’t care either way.
He broke the country 8 years ago and the majority blamed Biden because it wasn’t all immediately fixed after their regret.
Democrats getting blamed for not fixing Republican fuck-ups.
Truly a tale as old as time.
And democrats giving everyone a reason to not vote for them. Turnip didn’t win the last election, the dems gave it away.
If only Kamala had promised everyone a pony I would have been motivated to go out and vote against fascism.
She really should have. Trump had no shame lying about everything. You can’t counter that. After the election is over, you can point out the lies but by then it’s too late.
There is no downside to lying because the mainstream press is fully right wing.
Well, except the media will put a laser focus on any mistakes Democrats make, nevermind any brazen lying. They will fact check a Biden stutter, for example, or do endless exposes on Hillary’s emails.
When a Republican does, well, just whatever they want, really, including incredible amounts of brazen lying, it’s just expected.
The Democrats are expected to be as pure as the driven snow, otherwise it’s a steady drumbeat of criticism for them from the “liberal media” (and the batshit insanely RW media, too).
Exactly. The mainstream press is right wing. They’re going to cover anything a Dem does that could be considered a lie. But it’s after the election.
The new model has to be to win at all costs.
I am not disagreeing with you, but it definitely was because the Dems refused to clean up after Cheeto Benito.
Not just that but they wanted to diehard hold on to the Israeli genocide machine no matter the cost, including the election … even though everyone screamed at them to let go in exchange for a vote.
I have no idea why everyone in power in America no matter the party has such a hardon for Israel and perpetual war in the Middle East.
Not supporting Isreal would had cost votes too.
