re: Can Biden last 4 more years?
Posted by MidWestGuy on 7/19/24 at 10:40 am
I bet the Dem powers-that-be wish they would have crafted some medical excuse for him to step down a year or two ago, when they could have planned a recovery. Having Biden drop out now is really, really awkward for them.
I know there are a % on each side that will vote their party no matter what....

re: Why is Divine Providence So Hard To Understand and Accept?
Posted by MidWestGuy on 7/18/24 at 12:16 pm
Because another innocent person was killed, and others injured?
I respect your beliefs, but if you are seriously asking this, that is a serious response.
One could wonder, why not intervene a few seconds earlier? Then no one but the shooter may have been harmed.
What's so hard to understand...

re: Fund that shorted DJT day before assassination is now saying it was a filing error
Posted by MidWestGuy on 7/18/24 at 11:19 am
Avg daily volume for $DJT is ~ 8 million, so a contract for 12M shares doesn't really make sense. Around 180M shares outstanding, if I divide market cap by ~$38 current price - still a large position.
In that X thread, people are talking like an actual trade was placed in error, and then they bac...

[quote]Shooter got Trump with the 2nd shot[/quote]
Right, this is all I'm saying. The path of the bullet shown doesn't seem to line up with the top of the ear. So it must have been a different bullet that hit him, right?
Not sure why that seemed controversial to some others?...
