Forgot to sort by controversial.

haha with how bad they are flipping out new works just fine

controversial (suggested)

The mods actually changed it so it's sorted by controversial by default.

/u/MoneyMark4 are you still under the delusion the orange narcissist actually cares about people like you?

No. I just wanted to get SOMETHING out of this

You would think if life has taught you anything by now you would know you're not getting shit. Silly rednecks

Broad brush my friend. College educated millennial finance bro from a city in the NE. I just dig paychecks, guns, and not giving my shit away

Boston is not a real city lets be honest

Philly

eww a phillbilly? You said you weren't a redneck >:/

Not from here...but yea it’s a shithole and the people are worse

yah if you were better at finance you would be up here in nyc

I'm glad you admit it.

I hate you but I hate this guy more.

You're barely human. Thanks for taking care of the Pats though.

AHAHAHAHAHA.

finance

Was your minor in Failed Engineering or Daddy Has Money?

Econ and International Business

The latter, then.

forever enslaved engineers mad at finance chads

poetry

I'm an Econ major

flair checks out

U no it bby

Actually in debt out the ass, since I put myself through school. But this career has its perks so I’m good

Only if you make it.

Well this is year 7 so....ok

I mean in the industry, not the major

That was a good one. Touché

career perks

converting to jew or becoming a Free Mason is a better avenue for "networking" than dropping 100k and 4 years of your life for a shitty degree

Lol "international business"

More like “I studied abroad and that hit all the requirements”

Oh Jesus that's what you think international business is. So I'm guessing you were never taught how to do things like calculate in external rate of return on an overseas project with varying exchange rates and compare that to a domestic MARR?

My guess is your understanding of complex finances only goes about as far as The Apprentice.

Wow dude, you're like, so smart

That sounds like something an excel spreadsheet should be doing.

Oh my god that sounds like the most boring shit a human being can do why the fuck am i studying econ

I actually really enjoyed it. Doing various cash flow diagrams and then collapsing them down...I dunno, something about it just makes sense to me. That said it was never my specialty, and when you got to the shit where you were having to simultaneously deal with discount rates, inflation, and forex shit it gets pretty ugly.

Oh my god that sounds like the most boring shit a human being can do why the fuck am i studying econ

Look man, I feel kind of shitty for my last comment. If you really want to learn serious international economics, try and find some graduate level courses on Engineering Economics. These are sometimes offered in MBA courses, but in general the majority of those are dead weight. Look for Industrial Engineering or Operations Research programs. These are the engineering versions of "business school". Most business schools are more or less busy-work bullshit, with some exceptions. IE or OR programs will actually give you the mathematical framework to do real 21st century business stuff.

Was your minor in Failed Engineering

This is triggering the shit out of me

College educated millennial finance bro from a city in the NE.

This is actually more embarrassing. I'd have understood if you were redneck retarded.

I just dig paychecks, guns, and not giving my shit away

lol you got swindled

Broad brush my friend. College educated millennial finance bro from a city in the NE.

Yeah guys he's not a fuck your cousin, semi-literate, redneck type idiot, he's just a date-rape, shkreli type idiot

No Shkrelli-shame plz :(

What, you don't like all the wasteful military spending?

And what SOMETHING were you expecting?

Reciprocity at the least

Well, you're getting a good no-lube ass-rape, ain't that enough? Jeez, some of you people are just downright greedy.

Real men don't sit around and wait for handouts. You should WORK for a change.

Yea let me get right on writing up policy and whipping votes. This is why people vote for those that they believe will deliver on what they run on.

I distinctly remember people pointing out Trump was a conman before the election. Maybe you should have considered their opinions before wasting your vote on delusions.

Better option for reciprocity than any other candidate

And yet you got played. I have less sympathy for you than the rubes though. They were desperate, but you were just cynical. It'll be hard to feel sorry for you when Trump's recession energizes the commies.

Eh I’m actually looking forward to the market pullback. I was in college for the last one, this time I can really clean up on buying cheaper assets. Capitalism isn’t going anywhere the commies and leeches can get fucked

"The tzar isn't going anywhere, serfs BTFO."

Adorable. Capitalism will survive, but humans are very fragile and there's a very good possibility of mass unrest in the coming years. Good luck :)

I mean. Trump might not care about others. But you think he would think about himself. Does he really believe that his party can win when he does shit like this? Say what you want about 2016, he was up against Clinton, and won by lashing out at years of broken promises. Now with 2 years in the seat, you really think he would try to do stuff that could help him gain accomplishments and avoid failures. Bills like this just help the other side and hurt his own.

This guy might end up causing his own impeachment if he passes off enough of the senators that still remain after the 2018 bloodbath

He would love that dude. Trump clearly just wants to be beloved and be told he is important. His whole plan for the presidential election was to lose, start up a conservative tv network, rant all day about rigged elections against the people, globablists, ect. He would rake in the dough, be beloved by his viewers, and wouldn't be under the constant media scrutiny he is today. If he got his ass impeached he would have a ton of ammo for his tv network. He could rant about the unfair media, deepstate, illegals, all day and his base would totally be behind him the entire time and pour money into his pockets.

Not if he's in prison.

He won't be, sadly, but it could happen.

Prison Trump would be great television

I dunno man, Im starting to suspect he might actually end up in prison. Im not sure what exactly the hand hes been dealt is, but he sure as hell seems to be playing it poorly.

I think there’s an unspoken arrangement about not prosecuting ex-Presidents, so unless he actully gets physically removed from office he’s probably not going to jail.

There definitely is and its a big part of why our government has done so well despite having a substantial transition in the executive branch every four or eight years. Its really important.

With that said, Trump is in way over his head and doing everything wrong. While him going to jail would be exceptional and a break with tradition that would be bad for our democracy, I can see it happening based on the way things are going.

Classic

Orange is the new black?

That already happened, to the White House.

Amazing.

Not enough people will see this exchange and it's sad honestly.

His whole plan for the presidential election was to lose, start up a conservative tv network, rant all day about rigged elections against the people, globablists, ect.

No it wasn't. It was the plan for most of the people who hung around him during the election. Only Trump and Bannon wanted to win, and Bannon had a B plan (the network). Trump wanted to win, and actually thought the polls were fake (they were real, but as Nate Silver pointed out the possibility of a Trump winning thanks to a Midwest swing in his favor was a statistical possibility).

He also thought as soon as he was sworn in, the media would get behind him and he could make change happen via tweeting.

Isn't he bringing change througb his tweetering? North korea wouldn't be cozying up to Rodom

By change, I mean, he can declare policies and laws out of a single random tweet.

Yeah, that's a good thing IMO. Why should everything be filtred through the Big Media machine? Why should Brian Seltzer or Maggie Haberman or Shawn Hannty have a say?

The reason Big Media hates Trump is because he cuts them out. President Obama would give out a handful of exclusice interviews to outlets, and they could proffit from the scoops/eyeballs/links.

Now, all they have is reaction, as their business model implodes.

Enough serious posting, more gussy or bussy posting and millenialcide plz

The guy is basically just doing what he's told by the GOP by this point, his heart is clearly not in it

That's delusional. The only thing authentic about this guy is that he only listens to whatever he wants to. Mirrors are less narcissistic than him.

Does he really believe that his party can win when he does shit like this?

The man says and does whatever it takes to get through the next 10 minutes of his day. Do you seriously think he has thought this far ahead?

I would think a guy that did that would eventually end up poor quick. Although Trump is absurdly lucky

How many businesses did he run into the ground? By all accounts hes not that lucky. Theres definitely some seriously questionable stuff about that dude's finances.

How else do you describe someone that fucks up for 40 years but doesn't ever end up officially broke except for lucky?

Plus even Michael Jordan lost some games.

How else do you describe someone that fucks up for 40 years but doesn't ever end up officially broke except for lucky?

Without looking at his finances who knows? Id venture a guess though that it involves some stuff thats not particularly legal.

Also, MJ never lost anything like Trump fucked up in Atlantic City and some of his other debacles. It wasnt until he got out of actual real estate and into being a brand that put its name on top of buildings other people built and paid for that Trump started doing ok, and even then we dont know exactly how ok he was doing.

I mean he inherited about $400 million after you take into account he dipped into his siblings' and invested in the hottest property market in which he was incredibly well connected due to his father being a real estate magnate. His father consigned his loans and offered him illegal assistance multiple times.

Part of the reason Trump does so well is he completely lacks an ethical base. When Trump declared bankruptcy in Atlantic City, he made money. Because of the way the company was strutted his shareholders were on the hook for the debt.

If Trump were born to a normal family he'd be eating garbage out of a dumpster and preaching about the end-times.

Trump is a fucking prime example of what being born into wealth does for someone, no matter how incompetent/crazy.

There's actually a documentary about Trump that was made in the 90s and it really reveals how privileged he was because of who his father was.

The guy was being handed no-bid contracts by the city left and right and failing all over the place and there was never any punishment for it.

He's just been falling up his entire life.

Like I said he's very lucky

Wait. You think Trump cares about the Republicans? He only cares about himself. He signed this bill because he got told he couldn't go golfing this weekend if the government shut down.

Gotta get through the day somehow...

Today is a tough day for us Trump supporters, but don’t jump train just yet. Very unlike our president to do something like this, we can only hope he’s got a card hidden somewhere and he’s playing the long game. Don’t lose hope, pedes.

Totally unlike Trump to talk shit and then do whatever.

Notoriously capricious reality star double crosses allies for ratings?

Stop the presses

I mean you gotta realize these people are more delusional than north Koreans are.

I used to hate them but I started to realize they're just vulnerable people that got caught up in a literal cult and they can't break free.

Norkies at least have the excuse of being indoctrinated from birth to believe in Dear Leader

Here it's just a bunch of Rugged 'MURICAN Individualists who CHOOSE to be backwater retards

Lol, what's funny is people who talk about the Trump train on that sub trigger that stupid train bot. So, he probably got a "we can't stop winning folks" with how many MPH the train is going in response to that.

Oh yeah, saw that a few times in that thread.

fuck you that bot rulez

Not now trainbot

Carcassonne with every single expansion.

Mein gat

6th Dimensional Baccarat, 50k minimum.

The only long game he's playing is of more golf this weekend.

he's usually just so stable and predictable

I will have to chalk this up to a 4d chess tactic that is way above my head

Unlike Trump, this guy can form a cohesive statement, yet Trump's strategy is too brilliant for him to comprehend.

This sub is filled users afraid of getting b& for dissenting and Russian spam bots wishing for more guns and violence. Sad.

At least Carcassonne has a bigger wall.

3D Carcassonne could be quite fun actually

So the list of things that can pry a little daylight between daddy and his cult followers:

  • Support for moderate, common sense gun got rolled measures
  • Signing bloated spending bills
  • Possibly treating brown people like human beings

I'm honestly surprised. Bringing on the most neoconservative neoconservative that ever neoconned even rattled some of them yesterday. Maybe there is hope.

Possibly treating brown people like human beings

NOTMYPRESIDENT

The schadenfreude is beautiful, but a part of me worries that a certain subset of Trump cultists will go full 14/88 when they abandon Trump (I know one irl who has done this already). He was their redpill into the alt-right sphere and some will only dive deeper into it when they realize that he will not fulfill his promises.

Hope he likes meth and women with missing teeth

PLEASE sweetie, that was the OLD White nationalist guard. The NEW WNs are obviously superior, instead of lurking in trailers we lurk in basements, and instead of doing meth we masturbate to anime and child porn

Kinda like how the new communist wont enact an authoritarian state?

I'm not a communist :/ it IS kind of telling that someone making fun of nazi's gets you riled up and throwing accusations tho :/ hmmmmmm

There is more fuel to be had doing things the way I do. I find it hilarious that you don't even get what I'm saying. Keep sucking that Trump chode buddy.

Really confused about what you're trying to convey here. Not a Trumpie by any means btw

Do your part to keep our community healthy by blowing everything out of proportion and making literally everything as dramatic as possible.

Apparently many people (probably sardines) do not read the sidebar in this sub.

Don't upvote this guy's posts. He's just an r/drama troll. Seriously click on usernames before you kneejerk respond to these tards. Their only goal is to cause as many problems as they can. They were posting about deleting their sub once they hit 50k and they could very well try to get the sub banned so they can form a new one.

You want Trump in your butt.

those are the same thing

the ones who would do that are gonna do it anyway unless a black guy saves their lives

"common sense gun control measures"

lolno

I look forward to every single one of you dissenters and concern trolls being banned. MAGA! This is great news!

Lol

This is good for Trumpcoin

One way that the Liberals troll this sub is 2 pretend that all of us who have been here for many years are concern trolls whenever we stand up for what we were promised. It's the scum who whine about concern trolls that are the Liberals, trying to divide us.

Trust no one, not even yourself

Never Forget

It'll reapear IRL as the handful of Americans on that sub go back out into the daylight once more.

Probably gonna be a ton more public shootings after they ban it.

The massive short-term gain in drama would be worth it.

It's literally a Trump fan sub at this point it almost has nothing to do with real politics whatsoever. He's literally a God who can do no wrong to them.

"at this point"

And r-politics is basically a trump/conspiracy hybrid. That 2016 election wrecked reddit, haha

nuetralpolitics is a good sub that resembles the reddit of yesteryear though so not all is lost.

BUT WHAT ABOUT SRS?

Crymoar pussy

The stupidity of /r/politics can't even come close to the autism factory that is /r/the_Donald.

Imagine all that autistic rage pent up and brought to school instead of being ejaculated onto the internet.

...on second thought, keep it contained on the internet

Are you a bot or a real human bean>

I'm not big on labels.

The suicidal atmosphere was enhanced by the Nazis' report of numerous Soviet mass graves and other atrocities committed by the NKVD and Red Army towards the end of the war. A Nazi leaflet distributed in February 1945 in Czech territories warned German readers about the "Bolshevik murderer-pack" whose victory would lead to "incredible hatred, looting, hunger, shots in the back of the neck, deportation and extermination" and appealed to German men to "save German women and girls from defilement and slaughter by the Bolshevik bloodhounds".

wtf i love the ussr now

Funny, because the Czechs were also pretty keen on fucking up the Germans once the war turned.

The Nazis knew what was coming because they were doing all of that during the war.

This is sad. It's the political equivalent of "Daddy will TOO come home from the store with some cigarettes. He's only been gone 18 months!"

Lmao. Participates in bill signing. Love it. Participating doesn't necessarily mean signing.

jfc

Just because you fuck a trap, and they have a penis, doesn't mean it's gay if they're wearing rainbow stockings. it's actually 100% straight and not gay because normally only straight gamergirls wearing rainbow stockings. You're a retarded faggot if you think otherwise

Preach, sister!

Filthy Euro here: What is this bill, why does his base not like it, why did he sign it anyway? Can someone give me a TL;DR? Please I just want to belong

Base (and others) don't like it because it is just more horrific spending increases. Base specifically doesn't like it because despite all spending increases there was very little in it for "the wall."

He signed it anyways because Trump trolls everyone or because he's actually sperging out IRL about all these skanks of his in the news.

Thank you

This is a spenidng bill, outlining Federal spending until September.

There's a lot in the bill, but the big butt hurt is that it explicitly shuts down Daddy's wall funding; the only border money is to fix the fences we have there. No money for new construction, and it blocks some Federal land from built on in the future. It also adds spending to investigate hacking attempts on voting machines. Also, Pelosi and McConnell (the House and Senate Minority leaders) were being happy on TV and that made Daddy pissy.

He eventually said he signed it because of a bump in military spending, pretty much the only notable Republican win in the bill.

Schumer is the Senate minority leader, McConnell is majority leader. Otherwise decent summary.

Fixed thanks. Dunno why I fucked that up lol.

Canadian here also wating to be long. Is it possible he uses the millitary to build the wall? Hear me out: the millitary loves their cowardly drones a LOT.

Could that spending be spent on 2 or 3 million drones that fly along the border (think 1 every 500' flying in a never ending line) creating a virtual wall of defense against the hostile drug cartels?

Border patrol already has some drones to keep an eye on things (basic ones aren't that expensive).

As for using the Defense budget to buy a fuckload of additional drones or other border assets, no. The budget is already allocated, covering R&D, personnel training costs and pay, acquisition of more equipment, all those sort of things, so unless someone managed to sneak in "all the drones" into a line item somewhere, Trump can't just grab cash from one area and use it for another.

That's also ignoring how heavily modern military operations use drones in active combat zones; getting them moved to watch for illegals would kick off a huge shitstorm from the DoD.

Now, if there was something like a huge spike in cartel violence spilling over the border, then we might see a larger deployment of National Guard units to the border (some states already use no-federalized NG units sometimes SG units to bolster patrol numbers, but that amounts to under 200 personnel in most cases). Barring that, no, Daddy won't be able to pull some 6D loophole abuse and create a defacto wall out of military assets.

Well, it was worth a float :(

Thank you!

The veto bluff was obvious. I'm a huge Trump fan and I saw it coming a mile away. Trump is many good and bad things but one thing he's not is a "sacrificial lamb." He was never going to take the blame for a goverment shutdown while everybody else could point fingers at him and say it was his fault. Vetoing was a loosing fight, and it would be a lose-lose fight. Trump doesn't do that.

They were two votes away from a veto proof majority with 3 abstains. The reason Trump signed it was so he could go golfing this weekend.

4D CHESS!!

you stupid liberals wouldnt understand, honey, as based jew milo would put it.
