And I’ll be laughing all the way to the bank.

Have a good day pal! Cha Ching!
Good for you, maybe someone on here will congratulate you & give you the validation you’re desperately seeking.

If only we’d all known about Nvidia!!
Oh I get it, you don’t like money! 

more you speak the sillier you sound.

As Kenny Rogers would say, “You’ve got to know when to hold ‘em, Know when to fold ‘em!”

Poor Goose!

Time for you to take a laxative Goose And time to stop listening to all that liberal nonsense thats making you look so ridiculous!

Im off to get me some smoked salmon hash at my favorite breakfast spot. Enjoy your day!
Again you’re just making up weird stuff about me, probably through embarrassment after dying on that tariffs hill and then your Warren buffet routine.

Youre really living the high life eating smoked salmon!

Im happy to be called a liberal by someone who doesn’t even understand the meaning of the word.

Credit where due.  Nobody thought it possible to be more economically inept than Liz Truss but the mango moron has managed to do so.

It does amuse me that you’re throwing around insults and replying in equal measure, but accuse me of constantly arguing.

my blood pressure is just fine thanks, having a good laugh is definitely good for my health. Please don’t ever change.

For someone as succesful as you proclaim to be you sure don’t act like it. Why are you so constantly constipated?

Yeh if only I’d had the genius idea to buy Nvidia & Apple shares like you did. Where did you get such a tip off?

The only thing more embarrassing than your Warren Buffet act, is Trump’s tariff backtracking 😂
Where did I get the tip off to buy Apple and Nvidia? That would be when you came on here bragging that everyone was selling tech stocks.

Hope that helps! 

must suck to sell the bottom Goose! Explains why you are so desperate for a win.

Keep digging I’m sure you’ll find a win eventually, somewhere.
I haven’t bought or sold anything recently. You’re the one who keeps giving it Warren buffet on here with your ground breaking tips. I’m still not sure who’s validation you’re seeking.

People were selling tech stocks because of those idiotic tariffs you were lauding, they’ve rebounded because Trump had to backtrack.

The only win is watching Trump have to backtrack on his ill thought our tariffs.

Yeah no one flip flops like the Trumpster!

I hear he's now back tracking on China's tarriffs because someones realised most of the iPhones are made there along with a load of the chips and semiconductors which are in every tech product inc US made cars! Who knew!

Fucking idiots!

And all this back tracking and supposed deals they are all going to do after kissing his ass will result in what.... low tarrifs so no $2bn a day in revenues (paid by the US businesses and tax payers) and no manufacturing needs to move to the US as tarrifs will be low... continued trade deficits cos no ones gonna buy US goods now. So whats it all for except a pump and dump to benefit his and his cronies bank balances. 

Best US President ever 🙄

Why the fuck would anyone put there money in the States now, absolute fucking shit show. You have to wonder where Trump's advisors are (people that actually have a clue and at least half a fucking brain) or does he just ignore them? if so, why have any. Shame he wasn't killed.
Imagine if Donald was JOE.

More often than not this is not the case and the mid term elections might change the balance such that one house changes its majority and if the incumbent is felt to be making a horlicks of things both houses change to democrats. Quite often Presidents have faced terms where Senate and Congress have been of the opposition and they just get on with it.

When considering power look at the position Starmer is in whereby he has a massive HoC majority and yet only about a third of the electorate voted for him. A situation that is not at all representative of how the UK voted.
That is because FPTP is predicated on there being a two party system.
Any more than two parties makes parliament inherently unrepresentative of the electorate's views.
Theoretically MPs are meant to represent all their constituents but party politics always wns out in the end.
