boosting because good and we need more good

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

That's is really good. That is fighting back. Here's another not political but a small business guy explaining how this "reset" and Tariffs will likely destroy his small business and reduce revenue for other American workers/companies. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/08/o...

nytimes.comOpinion | I Invented a Popular Kitchen Gadget. Trump’s Tariffs Will Kill My Business. (Gift Article)The government’s promise to reshore the production of simple items like mine looks, from where I sit, like something of a fever dream.

As someone who's very existence is deemed a "political issue" - more people who don't centre their content on politics need to speak out about it Silence is less helpful than most want to believe on things like this

At some points in history I might have been bothered by every site I use being filled with politics, but shit is so crazy right now that it would be insane to NOT be talking about it.

The TWO PARTY SYSTEM is inadequate as a representative form of government. It easily lends itself to corruption. It thwarts serious dissension. It protects regressive social & political ideas that would be challenged in a more pluralistic political system. It’s become a “Good Cop/Bad Cop” trap.

I was so happy to see JerryRigEverything on YouTube come out and prominently say “vote for Harris because Trump is and has been sabotaging health care in the US” but just wish more social media personalities (especially in tech/finance/industry/trades) would take these stands way more often.

Very true. The whole argument falls down into the whole ethos of the "us vs. them," which only gets amplified further by nationalistic tendencies that are alarmingly prevalent. It presents a false dichotomy of "our way or the highway," when things are rarely that simple.

Please keep it up. Everyone with any kind of platform has a responsibility to stand up for what is right, and condemn what is corrupt and wrong. You are making a difference.

I want nothing more then every single YouTube I watch to talk politics. That way I know a) who I want to continue to support and b) can get a good message out to a lot of people who might otherwise not take the to learn it any where else. Also the only people who say "go back to doing x instead...

Good time to buy stocks, is it? Looks like an even better time to boycott and permanently change our spending habits. Like a broken record: Buy local or start a garden, y'all. And don't forget Goods Unite Us!

It’s definitely market manipulation. It’s a big club for the billionaires and we’re not in it. This is what you get when you elect a delusional idiot that doesn’t know what he’s doing.

Exactly. Now more of this fire. Now more of not taking BS. There is no strategy. There is no benefit. It is just blowing up in their face. And it will keep blowing up until someone stops them.

It's awful that this is all happening, but it is good to hear a political representative talking to one of these guys the way they need to be talked to, the way most of us are feeling. The time for courtesy and patience is long past. It's for the "WTF are you doing!?"s.

the shorts and the rallies. Thing about that is all the slips get recorded, but I suspect the profits is getting flipped into crypto to try and launder the gains

It’s time to start calling out all the Republicans. They are all responsible. It’s not just the false kings. They all have our blood on their hands. When we post or criticize 47, include all Republicans. The cowards.

Greer only knows a few talking points. He clearly has no clue what's illegal. He was handed a sheet of talking points and with every breath sounds like some fucking call center worker sticking to a script, unable to answer a single question intelligently with skilled knowledge of the topic.

Monkeys are an intelligent, we’ve learned so much about them & about us, HOWEVER, I DO NOT want them balancing my checkbook OR making me pancakes, bacon & over easy eggs cooked in the bacon grease❗️We are a part right now in the biggest con job ever laid on the American People’s Heads, Fight or Die❗️

I told you Trump would do this. Create chaos and make the economy look awful as he couldn't handle inheriting a decent economy from Biden; he reverses course on his chaos. The world goes back to normal. And,Trump gets to say he fixed the economy and is an Economic Genius and Savior of the World!

The bond market forced his hand, as well. The cost to service the US debt was going up due to the uncertainty created by "What do I feel like today?" Economic policy making. All while Elon is playing neo hippie. "Does this cause joy?" with our government. The one he swore not to do.

Rug pull is the right word. Whether is juice prices today or tank them yesterday, you can bet the cronies are having payday after payday. Oh right, the SEC can look into that, except it's been hobbled by DOGE, because Melon Husk hates them for hurting his feelings about that 420 69 tweet

Obi-Wan Kenobi is known for his wise and often profound quotes in the Star Wars saga. I don’t recall “ may the balls be with you”. The one most appropriate for me is "If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine”.

It is market manipulation and without someone holding him accountable, it will continue. We can talk all we want, point fingers (even when we're right), and nothing will change until we decide that Trump needs to go. He is a danger to this country and the world.

70+million people voted for this joke of a president despite constant warnings of what his policies will and have done. It’s almost laughable to see how republicans n MAGA continue to support him. He clearly doesn’t know nor care to understand what he’s doing and how it affects Americans lives.

I wish he would have mentioned Trumps post, “it’s a good time to buy”. Stock manipulation by Trump and the Republican Party. The Republicans weren’t at the hearings, were they back in their offices buying up stock, that broke people’s retirement funds and children’s education funds?

Does anyone truly believe that these billionaires are not making a fortune while the stock markets go up or down? This is such a game. They are raking it in. Pound by pound. They are controlling the narrative and by it, controlling the markets. Wake up and smell a10$ cup of coffee.! Manipulation!

The fat orange shitstain needs to be impeached! This is a fucking retard. and it is market manipulation...There is no market trade association. Get this orange fucker out of our government and into a mental institution! with a fucking padded room.

I wouldn't call this good. I would call this a brief reprieve before the storm hits. Trump is calling this a 90 day pause. He is likely still going to implement these stupid tariffs because he is too dumb not to.

Of course. And then they can all say brilliant! The orange anus faced turd is brilliant when in fact he’s just a stupid SOB who only knows how to rip people off and then try to make himself look good. So tired of these orange nosed clowns. Every fucking hour of every day it’s something.

It's Market manipulation for God's sake, Everyone knows it, it's illegal, where the hell is the SEC? I suppose is ill gotten blanket immunity protects him from market manipulation too? What about murder?

Representatives of the people should NOT be allowed to leave a hearing. Except for a life and death emergency and there should be proof afterwards or they will be removed from the committee without a replacement. Because they always remove themselves they don’t need to be there.

Trump, while sitting in the White House, used Truth Social, a publicly held company (DJT) to conduct insider trading. DJT saw a 7% gain today, April 9th, 2025.

Also, important to point out the GOP representatives had all left when he’s asking these incredibly relevant questions. The Republicans own this disaster and are refusing to question it. They’re probably all out there making sure their portfolios are getting richer.
