I had a phone meeting with the Fidelity financial advisor today. I had requested a meeting to go over what possible financial shit show was about to happen to us. Of course, they were soothing me, saying all investments I had were very safe (bland ... which is what I prefer) and not to worry. But as I talked about the ruble falling, trump's idea of pulling gold out of the reserve to invest in bitcoin, the collapse of them f-ing up social security ... I laughed and told them I could see their eyes rolling back in their heads!
It is not uncommon for me to email my "team" in the wee hours of the morning with some trump horror story with my concerns!
Like when I read that Fidelity was a big invester in Twitter! As the subject line read WTF, Brad?
Or when I read this alarming article about Peter Thiel and Musk cooking up the collapse of the U.S. economy. I thought it made some valid arguments.
The biggest concern, however, is that Thiel is coordinating with his old “PayPal Mafia” colleagues including David Sacks, Elon Musk, and Joe Lonsdale. While Thiel runs Vance, Sacks is bundling contributions and running his own propaganda effort in support of the Republican campaign. Musk and Lonsdale have recently teamed up to create a “Super PAC” in support of the Trump/Vance ticket, which has been buffeted almost daily by revelations of Vance’s earlier denunciations of Trump, and his own bizarre views of women and human sexuality.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Musk might support that PAC to the tune of around $45 million per month. Musk has denied that specific claim since, but the America PAC, which is run by Lonsdale, appears to be created to support the “PayPal Mafia” worldview — which includes (and indeed depends on) the bankruptcy of the United States (see below).
Another secretive group called The Rockbridge Network, founded in 2019 by Vance, Thiel, and Chris Buskirk (publisher of the pro-Trump outlet American Greatness) may have helped provide Vance with the necessary momentum to become a favorite for VP. According to Puck News, the group’s network has included Republican donors Harlan Crow, Rebekah Mercer, David Sacks, and other familiar names.
According to Chafkin, Thiel believes that the 2008 financial crisis should have led to a depression. Indeed, it was the investment thesis of his firm, Clarium Capital, that this would happen. But low interest rates and other bailout measures kept Thiel’s “bet against the United States” from working out. Now, he’s out for revenge.
But I say my peace, then back off. I mean, I can't take all my rage out on them.
I told them that I guess the worst case was that trump pulled us and the world into a complete collapse. That little shithead and his shithead companion, marching over to the re-openinig of Notre Dame like he is f-ing president makes me sick to my stomach. And then he turned a Jill Biden photo op into a stupid ad for his cologne (Can she sue him?). Again, he makes me sick. Can you guess how many times a day I yell out Mother Effer, when the kid are at school?
I was thinking about how angry I am the other day. Not so much depressed as my friends ask me when they call. But befuddled and angry at our country. I was thinking how angry I am at a few of my friends that choose not to be outraged at what is going on. I thought, I should be documenting this for later. If not for me later, then for the kids when they are reading all of my life entries on this blog (ha ha ha, that is a joke).
I am angry that David is not here to yell Mother Effer with me ;) I am angry that we have that little rapist, hegseth, even being considered for a cabinet position and mtg ranting about her inane shit. Today when Brad said, oh but you have the congress to step up and put the brakes on ... I laughed out loud and said, you mean the ass-kisser who let trump get away with anything?
Yeah, I did not hold back today ... they just got the brunt of me holding back for the last couple of weeks. Kash Patel, Tulsi Gabbard. This entire clown show.
I made one comment about how Republicans did not like facts on a maddow post on facebook and got a ton of nasty comments in return. So at 5am, I starting researching these little magats and blocking.
I started blocking maga folks around 440a. I lots of stupid responses to a comment I left saying ‘republicans don’t like facts’ on maddow video. I looked up each responder’s profile, most from Florida, old motorcycle driving veterans with bandanas wrapped around their heads, most had beards, lots of photos of big dogs, or some animal they were wishing to shoot. Most of acted like they like to work out. Oh, one idiot one was from New Jersey. A couple of scammers from Lagos chimed in. One woman weighed in from Malawi (good morning Moscow). Of course they all have the Trump fight/shot photo, and at least a couple of angel or God references (because they are such Christians). None of them looked like they were financially hurting. Some of them were most likely Russian bots seeing as they had the same posted over and over or absolutely no content.
Yeah, I like to investigate folks who are leaving me stupid 💩 before I block them.
I really think it is time for me to leave this disgusting place but then I would deny myself so much fun looking at people who are complete idiots. Can’t wait for that next pandemic to hit, or when Trump sinks this economy…
We pick up the kids from school at 2:30p. It starts getting dark at 4p. I start yawning around 530p. I am ready to go to bed at 6p. I am taking one of the kid's melatonin at 7p.
Have been watching a couple of YouTube guys who travel the world who are interesting.
