Careful now, big guy, markets actually went up under Obama, not down, but here's the kicker. In 2020, a giant pandemic will be exasperated under President Trump creating a large quick correction at which point you'll short it like there is no tomorrow and lose a ton of money in the process. Couldn't have happened to a "nicer" guy. Karma sandwich anyone ?
Obviously OP was extremely messed up in 2012 so much so that he didn't want to visit his Mother just because she voted for Obama. You are following a similar path now. Maybe you can learn something from what occurred only 8 years since to Max E and Denner. OP who seems to understand now it was a destructive personal path; which path will you follow ?
I think it is sad people are disowning members of family or refusing to visit them because of political discussions or who they voted for. That means the family ties were never that strong to begin with and you finally found a excuse to blame it on something. It is just politics. Unless Trump or Biden came into your house and did something for you personally they don't give a shit about you after you voted. But if you place them in a position higher than family and friends.....says more about you than them. I have 3 friends on Facebook that 1 is die hard Dem and the other Trump lovers and they have 20-30 line threads arguing on Facebook. They were fraternity brothers. When the talk turns to football from their university they speak like old friends and end with wishing each other happy holidays or whatever is coming up. This is addressed to all of you cutting out friends and family over elections or some of you so bat shit crazy about what happened you need to educate the world.
Politics, like football has yet to adversly affect my personal, offline relationships. As I’ve stated several times before, if Biden is sworn in and ultimately Harris, I will be open minded and give them at least three months before drawing conclusions about their character, agenda, and leadership ability. I understand and expect some of their policies will annoy me and there will be cringeworthy moments, but in the end, will they be more about building up the United States or about consolodating political power? Are Biden and Kamala going to see 74 million Trump voters as “Deplorables” and use this to justify “Punishing” them for being so “Stupid” to support Trump or are they going to realize the consumer and business confidence of the other side will determine if they are willing to take risks, invest, and spend in job creating and tax generating ventures? Besides, don’t we all benefit when each side is willing to fully contribute towards mutually beneficial goals?
You know what is really scary about those 3 pictures, Kamala could be the next Dem Prez after Obama and Joe.
When I think of great Women leaders, world stage, #1 Thatcher comes to mind. Golda Meir, maybe Merkel for a current candidate, there’s others........ but each of them commanded attention when they entered the room, each had/have an air of distinction, something unique and special about them. Kamala Harris has zero of that. She was ousted first round in the primaries. She was picked strictly for gender and ethnicity and rode Biden’s coattails into office. Heaven help us if she becomes POTUS.
