POLITICAL THREAD

[55wildcat]

Off topic here, and not sure how many here know who Travis Pastrana is, but he did MotoX / Rally race. He is basically the modern day Evel Knievel. At 41 this is an Xray of his lower body. He also has metal shoulders.

I've got two metal hips and a knee....

The problem is most of the good things in the bill in @screwduke1 's post last page...HAVE to get passed to help the GOP win the midterms. It has by far more good sh-t in it then we are use to.

Congress wasn't going to be fixed in a few months. There are egregious things in the bill, and all of them won't be scraped from it no matter how many post Elon makes, cause it's Congress...hopefully some changes are made but it's just how much bad sh-t can everybody live with. And quite frankly the Senate is likely to make it worse.

Just had vision of me strolling out at halftime, with a whiteboard, clown costume, a beer, and a Marlboro.

And then giving a short lecture on remedial mathematics, along with a quiz.

Wonder how that would go down?

So, the score is UK 42 and Auburn 38

How do we represent, as a PERCENTAGE, what Auburn's score, relative to UK's is? Anyone? (it's 90.4)

I don't know which is better if it you go out there alone with a whiteboard or if you have a few fat women dancing around you with math equations on their shorts that are so tight everyone not named @55wildcat is disgusted.

 

[HymanKaplan]

Large women in tight shorts are a good way to teach mass and density, but I'm not well versed in physics. So that will have to wait until the tournament.

 

[UKBlueBlood]

So wait... oreos make you gay? Or do they make you like women? Carpet muncher? Or what are they saying here, exactly?

Like I said the other night, it’s hard core rainbows and virtue signaling month now, and the Oreo folks seem to have gone full bore double stuffed mode with their virtue signaling.

Again… most normal folks simply DON’T CARE. But it’s no longer good enough for you to not care about someone’s preferences in the sack. You now must openly join their celebration of gayness for a whole month, or else you’re a homophobe.

In terms of marketing impact, I don’t know if there will be more folks who buy Oreos because of this commercial, or more folks who refuse to ever buy Oreos again. I suppose they’ll see how it works out for them.

[Classy_Bowls]

I still don't know what Oreos have to do with it. Everyone there was a varying degree of coffee with too much milk in it.

I’m going to need you to sit down for what I’m about to tell you…

Oreos are vegan

 

[TheFrontRunner]

Wait a minute...this is the district judge Gordon Gallagher that says we can't send the terrorist's family back to Egypt? His head and his name is like he is a cartoon character.

What the f-ck is wrong with his jaw line? Wonder what his parents look like haha?

White hoods and burning crosses were replaced with:

Section 8 housing (contain "them")

Single parent home incentives

Bussing instead of neighborhood school investment

Specifically crafted drug laws (along with inflexible mandatory sentences for "certain" drugs. You have Joe Biden to thank for that)

Strategically placed law enforcement (to HELP contain "them")

The soft racism of "lowered expectations..."

And a bevy of black leaders that were MORE THAN WILLING to shill for the limousine liberals and sell out their own.

Don't believe me? The results speak for themselves... Malcom X knew the score.

you forgot most planned parenthood locations...eliminate

Jennings on KJP leaving the Democrat Party. I love knowing all 147 of CNN's viewers hit mute every time Jennings starts talking cause they hate him so much.

I forgot about this one, someone in the comments to the above video included this gem. Where KJP informs everyone she is a historical figure:

We don't have to read his book because we've seen supply side in action since the "Reagan Revolution". and we know exactly what happen-the rich get richer, salaries stagnate and go down, the middle class becomes the working poor, and the working poor become desperate.

Not only do we see this play out in our society, there was also a recent study that found the exact same results we see in our economy.

The fact remains.
The statement was regarding trickle down economics.
I provided an opportunity for the poster to learn that it was a trope.
As in, not a real economic theory.
Nothing more.
Carry on.

Well, there goes oreos ….smh

Ok, I bit on that ridiculous absurdity.

The beauty of dropping in and out of this thread for long stretches is coming upon a little gem like this. Like, wtf were they talking about lol?

 

[ukalum1988]

 

[Cleatortoises]

I still don't know what Oreos have to do with it. Everyone there was a varying degree of coffee with too much milk in it. It probably should have been a coffemate commercial. It seemed like everyone IN that ad had parents that were already down with race mixing.

It should have at LEAST been OVERSTUFFED Oreos, but it wasn't.

So, back to the pointlessness of it...

It was the creamer.
I new it was something more than the total awkwardness in the absurdity.
Mind yo bidness.

Are MAGAs here having trouble coping with Musk publicly ripping Trump's abhorrent bill? Is Musk dumb for being against it?

 

[TheFrontRunner]

It is reported when the murders and drug dealers in CanuckLand saw this video they dropped their weapons and turned themselves in...










In the bottom video this is Trump's America, this happened when someone tried to get in the way of a van carrying illegals the other day...haha

Probably not him.
Just like President Trump the first time, you just don't really know how deep the swamp is until you are up to your sack.

The irony is all of the people complaining about the bill will be blaming Trump for the 2026 midterm defeat if the bill doesn't pass.

The bill obviously isn't perfect. But it needs to pass. It either passes...or the Dems run the show in 2026. I know which I would rather happen

While I appreciate your support of my post, you are wildly incorrect about commodities. They are basically 100% priced on intrinsic value. For example, crude oil, chocolate and soy beans - they get produced and utilized. In each of these cases, there is a supply curve (based on willingness for suppliers to produce and take to market) and a demand curve (what people are willing to pay for). Where these two curves intersect is the price. Gold is a little different because that's considered a store of value, but at the end of the day you have a physical asset that you can make into jewelry to give to a woman in order to get laid.

Baseball cards are not comparable at all to commodities.

Disagree. Gold 'intrinsic' value is $3300 today - what was it 6 months ago? You're telling me the intrinsic value skyrocketed - I disagree. Are its uses suddenly greater and now it's in much greater demand? Or has gold mining operations been slashed and the supply is 1/3 less than it was 6 months ago? Your post stated that commodities are priced at the intersection of supply and demand. Since both of those factors change constantly, how does one determine 'intrinsic' value of a commodity? How would an investor determine if a commodity is at a good price or not? Today's price at noon is the intrinsic value? Or, is it just the price that the buyer is willing to pay at noon today? If the next buyer shows up at 12:15 and pays 100% more, did the intrinsic value really just double?

Maybe I'm misinterpreting 'intrinsic'. In my head, intrinsic means a value below which a particular item will not fall, i.e., a baseline value, not a spot price based on an individual's perception. If that's not correct, I apologize. The intrinsic value of a commodity, I think, is its usefulness in other products and processes. But, I don't see how that can be determined mathematically other than determining what a buyer is willing to pay.

Yes, you are confused about what intrinsic means, which is that the commodity has actual worth and not just the “value” for being part of a financial market or use as a currency.

I’ll make it really simple.

Coffee has intrinsic value because we like to drink it.

US Dollars do not have intrinsic value, but they are backed by the US government and their value comes from our government's declaration that they are legal tender, meaning they must be accepted for payment of debts.

Bitcoin also has no intrinsic value. But unlike state backed currencies, it not backed by anything. It is only worth what people are willing to pay for it.

No. Unlike the Nazi/Authoritarian Left. We actually allow diverse opinion and expression of it in or party.
