Replace Congress with mannequins!

My genius knows no bounds! Its incredible! Yesterday trading platform Robinhood and others halted trading for GameStop, AMC and a few others. The hedge funds who were short selling them (making money on self fulfilling price declines because of their leverage), had been getting kicked in the nuts by a trading group on Reddit called wallstreetbets. Wallstreetbets had been buying GME for sometime, taking the price from $4 to $400.

Because various hedge funds had made the leveraged bets that prices would fall, they were losing multiples when the price rose. Great stuff. Love it. Sons a bitches like them were trying to make GameStop go bankrupt by taking their stock price to zero. Instead, a snot-nosed group of 20 somethings with a Robinhood app on their smart phone were kicking Wall Streets ass.

Well hold on, the powers that be weren’t going to let Wall Street lose (“private rewards public risk policy”). So they colluded with Robinhood and others to stop trading yesterday. With the inability to buy, the upward momentum of GME halted. Not only that, but they changed the margin rules midday, then said, “Whoa! You’re not in compliance with cash on hand rules, we’re going to sell your holdings!”

The price of GME yesterday was between $112 and $489. Guess when Robinhood did the forced liquidation of their holdings? Yeah, at $118. Their customers lost a rough $370 a share because of this rule change. When Wall Street can’t compete, they just change the rules (kind of like Democrats at election time).

So the point is nothing is going to happen to these Wall Street mother fuckers. The financial press isn’t going to dig into it. Congress isn’t going to do anything. We the people are on our own. That’s when I realized, we don’t need Congress, we need 535 mannequins!

There is nothing more worthless on God’s green earth than Congress. Okay maybe mosquitoes. Mosquitoes and Congress, God’s 2 biggest mistakes. We should replace Congress with mannequins. Think about it. Wall Street is getting away with murder and Congress is not going to do a damn thing. Mannequins wouldn’t do a damn thing either, but there is so much less cost involved with them.

Mannequins don’t need food, security, housing, medical, flying back and forth to their districts, retirements, elections, never a day off. We could just switch wigs on the mannequins every 2 and 6 years and pretend they were different. When the press had questions for them we could just pull a string on the back and they could regurgitate various cliches. The Republican mannequins could say, “I’m going to bring Iowa values to Washington!” The Democrat ones could say, “We’re going to hold corporations accountable!”

There wouldn’t be any sex scandals with mannequins. Mannequins don’t take payoffs from lobbyists. When constituents visited Washington think of the photo ops?! Mannequins never have a bad hair day. They always have a killer smile. They always have a flat stomach. All the girl mannequins could look like Barbie, all the boy ones like Ken! Mannequins don’t need huge staffs, just someone to change their clothes every couple a days. I don’t see a downside.

Very interesting!

I’d kind of heard of GameStop, pretty sure I’ve seen them at the malls. I’d kind of heard of Reddit, no idea what it was. Then this morning I hear that the 3 million or so stock traders in a group on Reddit called ‘wallstreetbets’ had kicked a couple of hedge funds in the nuts and made them lose money short-selling GameStop. I cheered.

For the folks at CNBC and Wall Street establishment types, the way the game is supposed to work is you give them money and they give you nothing in return. You’re not supposed to make money, you’re supposed to get fleeced. I am not shitting you, Bloomberg and Barron’s are demanding the SEC protect the professionals from these big bad retail investors! No shit!

Its ludicrous. A bunch of wiz kids in their twenties have learned to beat Wall Street with the aptly named Robin Hood App and a smartphone, and Wall Street goes crying to mommy!

[Today 1/27/21 they halted trading when Blackberry BB rose 42%, can’t have regular people making money. The other 3 wallstreetbets are playing are GME, AMC and NOK. Anytime Wall Street gets kicked in the nuts, its a good day.]

1/27/21 update at 8:00 pm: Reddit closed down the group at about 5:30 pm central. At about 7:30 pm a “subgroup” of it opened back up. For how long I don’t know. A mirror group was opened up on Gab and at ‘Win’ whatever that is. Its reported hedge funds lost $14 billion dollars today. Which is why they lashed out at the Reddit group. One main thrust is that GameStop (GME) is the main thrust and various members of the group are saying Blackberry (BB) Nokia (NOK) and AMC Entertainment (AMC) are distractions. Who can say for sure? Some have suggested the short positions just aren’t there for the last 3.

The numbers don’t lie

This is a great set of numbers I got from an account called ‘Major Patriot’ on Gab:

These data points are indisputable. Even USA Today had to admit they are all correct:

Total number of votes:
• Obama at 69,000,000
• Trump at 74,000,000
• Biden at 81,000,000

Then how?

Number of counties each candidate won:
• Obama 873
• Trump 2,547
• Biden 509

Bellwether counties each candidate won:
• Obama 18 of 19
• Trump 18 of 19
• Biden 1 of 19

Florida, Ohio & Iowa:
• Obama Won Them All
• Trump Won Them All
• Biden Lost Them All

Which candidate’s political party won seats in the House of Representatives?:
• Obama Democrats Won Seats
• Trump Republicans Won Seats
• Biden Democrats Won NO Seats

Its called the Constitution Party

Ross Perot had to have his own party, so he created the Reform Party. Howard Phillips of New Hampshire had to have his own party, so he created the US Taxpayers Party, which changed its name in 1996 to the Constitution Party. The Maharishis in Fairfield, Iowa had to have their own party so they created the Natural Law Party. Which ended up kind of merging with the Reform Party. Then you’ve always had the Libertarian Party running around in circles smoking a joint. The only one that makes sense is the Constitution Party. Ohhhhhh, but not for Trump, he has to invent yet another splinter group because its all about him.

$28 trillion dollar debt?

When President Trump took over from the Kenyan the national debt was barely under $20 trillion dollars. By the time the ink was dry on his inauguration papers, it was $20,000,000,000,000. I just checked at the National Debt Clock, and its currently $27,824,391,700,432. That’s over a third in just 4 years. You couple more “stimulus” spending with commie Joe’s natural tendencies, and in another 4 years you’re looking at an additional $10 trillion, easy. So by the time 2025 rolls around we’re looking at being within spitting distance of $40 trillion dollars.

There have been debt doomsayers for decades (‘Bankruptcy 1995’). And that was when the debt was at a whole $5 trillion! Has the limit to financial malfeasance finally been reached? Is fiscal Armageddon here? I’d have to say so. O’Bama doubled the debt in 8 years. Trump probably added 38% in just 4 years. You got to figure China Joe beats that without breaking a sweat. I’m beginning to think he could be over $40 T in just 4 years (it will be $30 T by fall).

There has to be a currency reset. The new dollar paying something like 60% on the old. Just the budget deficit is $3.7 trillion. That’s why banks haven’t paid interest for 20 years, if we had to pay interest on top of the debt, the entire system collapses.

[Oh my gosh I just remembered something else! Medicare spending goes deficit in 2024, SSA bleeds red in 2026! It all goes exponential then! I was completely wrong in Biden adding $10 T, its going to be $20 T. I completely forgot that.]

Norms have no idea about any of Hunter’s escapades.

There’ll be 2 bellwethers with Dems

The Commiecrats have already set into motion the things you knew they would. Amnesty for Mexicans, any chance of holding China responsible for releasing a deadly pandemic upon the world, and stopping oil production. But the two I’m waiting to see if they actually do is raise the minimum wage and bailout the Post Office.

Like the little Republican pet projects that seem to never quite get done, there’s no excuse for the Dems. Raise the damn minimum wage, its been 12 years. And rather than let a valuable public service go belly-up, bailout the Post Office. You’ve made these promises for decades, now do it.

The irony with the minimum wage is that if you started to require employers to pay a living wage, two side benefits happen. It takes away the incentive to hire illegals, poorly trained people who can’t speak the language. You might as well hire Americans then, and it gets people off the welfare roles.

And with the Postal bailout they’ve promised those public sector unions forever, “Oh we’ll do it, we just need the Senate”, or the presidency, or the House, or whatever other excuse not to do what they said they would.

Even though Biden said taxes for the middle class wouldn’t go up, they have to. I think there are 2 ways he’ll raise taxes without quote “raising rates”. They’ll decrease the standard deduction, thus exposing more of your wages to taxation. And secondly, in Washington speak, SSA and Medicare Tax aren’t technically federal taxes. So when they raise the rates on them, it literally won’t be raising “federal taxes”, even though they go in the same pot.

Oh, and let’s see if they make the rich “pay their fair share”.

Why January 6 rattled their cage

What shocked the nation about the Jan 6 Capitol riots was who was doing it. They’re used to Democrats rioting the past 5 years, but having decent people do it shocked the crap out of them. It rattled their cage that people with jobs, families, retirement plans and that bathed regular would do that. Nobody is shocked about crime in the ghetto, but when it comes to the suburbs….

People are unable to be shocked by a party that advocates killing babies. That pushes boys to use the girl’s room. For men to wear dresses and run on the girl’s track team. They expect bad behavior out of Democrats. But when Republicans do it, hold on now! They hate Christians and white people, but they know 99 times out of 100 they can expect civilized behavior. It rocked their world to see good people behaving like them.

Grand Theft Election!

You knew there was no way Biden won. A clown who promised to raise taxes, gas prices and steal your guns. The penultimate swamp dweller. I’d heard Trump won it in a 75% landslide and this graphic bears it out. You knew things were F’d up (fucked up) when the cheating even extended to Iowa’s 2nd District. If you would have told me 50 years ago that we would reach a point in this nation that would ignore such rampant cheating, I would have called you delusional. Yet here we are. Half the country will steal to win. Will do anything. Will stop at nothing.

Conservapedia

I had occasion to look up whether the spy project from 70 years ago was the Verona Project or the Venona Project. Turns out its Venona. But anyway, being absolutely disgusted with the institutional bias of Wikipedia, I was delighted to see this entity know as Conservapedia. As an example, you could compare their description of Donald Trump to Wikipedia’s. No comparison. Its not that its slanted to the right necessarily, its just more the way educational material used to be. Neutral. I really hope this site/project lasts.
