Several of these really hit my funny bone. Especially the squirrel one.

Here’s to a super-sized cleansing. Thankfully we have a lion who can do it.
Well said, Dino! And Thanks OUC!

I’m see that most folks are using usernames instead of real names, so if you’d like to me in my Substack directory or the Atlas of Objectivism, just message me on any platform.

Funny

These memes caused me dino to think of a thick book of quotations I lost to a fire during the Seventies in a trailer rental park when I was a college sophomore.
The first and most ancient~~and I mean way, way back ancient~~was an instruction never to trust anyone. Not ever! Period!
I had moved out of a dorm to both study in peace an deprive myself of TV entertainment.
I was in a class when that fire gutted all that I had.
The fire chief showed me where the malfunctioning electrical wiring started the fire.
Directly under my bed!

Unless "Wall St" is on the short side today and their customers are getting the shaft (as usual.)

Just ran into this, changes my perspective now:
just listen to the opening part of this video, it's probably all one needs to know. https://www.bitchute.com/video/N5sD7F...
IN THE MEME TYME, I'll be listening to the rest of the broadcast.

That bank in North Dakota is what each state had and they were usually manned by the Post Office.

Back story on the last one. She is a French leftist that advocated for muslim immigrants, she told them that as they were trashing her store, her business! . . . she didn't get it, hence the look on her face !!!

Very true, very true...

Agree with you completely regarding where he has left us. was just pointing out the few things that got done prior to him.....that helped set the table, as it were.

Regarding Atlas Puked….i did let it expire.

After reviewing my quickly fading memory I believe it was 2014- not 2020. So when DJT won in 2016 I became complacent.
The results from this week snapped me back into reality
In the time I have been active in this gulch (2014) I’ve been able to retire. Drop out, “go Galt” whatever term you like. But I do feel like Atlas (just) Puked.

That person never admitted - nor did his sycophants - that he was foreign born. With Elon there is no such question.

Read what I wrote, Sparky.

Trump lacked backing to finish what needed done in Iran. Iran made oil prices spike, and nothing changed politically. This was the main issue that lost us both houses of Congress. Trump admin dicked it up for us all. He should own it, and we owe him no excuses.

No one said other good things didn’t happen. No one. Grow up.

I wouldn’t. That is not coming.

“A republic, if you can keep it.”
The founding fathers truly understood human nature.

Well, 250 years was a good run.

Was anyone here actually surprised?

When an economically illiterate lout ...
does not know the difference between a trade imbalance and a tariff.
does not know that a tariff is paid by the importer (not the Chinese).
that a tariff finds its way onto the balance sheet of any ultimate consumer.
that a tariff is essentially a tax (thank you Henry Hazlitt / Economics in One Lesson).
that giving something an absurd name "One Big Beautiful Bill" does not make that thing Beautiful.
insists that the GENIUS Act was named after him (I assert the he has zero understanding of how stablecoins actually work).
has his people create meme-coins which generate a fortune for his family while leaving the retail "investors" staring at an empty bag ... Hunter Biden paintings actually include canvas and paint (Caveat Emptor, of course).
drones without a stitch of metacognition on the merits of a Big Bold Beautiful Ballroom (Decadence at the End of Empire) -- A Ballroom, he reminds us, not funded by taxpayers, but by donors (to whom The State is ultimately beholden).
tosses out the idea of sending every adult a $5000 check to vote for his proxies (Democratic Socialists blush at this boldness).
insists that those who have disassociated themselves from him (Tucker Carlson, Kelly, Owens, Jones, et. al) have a Low IQ. I searched, please share your IQ DJT. FYI: My IQ is 2.175 (Standardized Z-Score) - I can provide documentation.
is fine and well with dramatically increasing the military budget for a Keystone Cops operation that cannot even bring to a close a "war" after eight months against a nation lacking any measure of naval or air force.
has made it known that he can end the Iran War whenever he wants it to end... an MOU here, a re-bombing there, all while the oil markets bump around like a hobo on a hay wagon.
has a service, the Truth API, charging $100k a month to get early access to Trump's Tweets... So you can know in advance when the hay wagon is about to get a bump (hobos need not apply).
believes that vertical landfills (data centers) are "Beautiful" (I already mentioned the lack of metacognition).

Looks like the 900 MW vertical landfill proposal for my backyard (1 mile from my 40 acres of mixed-use land) in West Richland, Washington is on the precipice of vaporizing. Amazon's capex is burning through over 100% of their cash-flow. Prediction: the credit rating on their bonds will sit on par with that of Oracle by 2027 Q4. Microsoft to ditch 25% of the workforce. Other "tech giants" soon to follow, as well as the financial institutions and organizations top-heavy with data-pushers. Much of the AI / DC / Private Debt+Equity phony-baloney circular-financing "markets" are in a "Big Beautiful Burnout." I am warming my hands over this open-faced dumpster fire.

Global Deflationary Depression.
By Design.

If you can exercise the faculties of a multi-dimensional, polychromatic, high-resolution mind in service to a god-like sociopathic bent, then it all makes sense.

Elon is much more like Hank Rearden.

Wall Street is losing big time today and will continue to go down the socialist demise.

You shouldn't be held accountable for what your state went for any more than anyone should apologize for Texas or anywhere else. Accountability should be individualized. Ayn Rand would like it no other way.

I still have mine. And when I looked, I found one that my Son had gotten at some point and did not take with him when he moved.

I have often wanted to add them - and I cannot either!

"They won't give it back" - that is so true.

And the markets figured out today what is really happening..dropping fast.

Clinton gave the NK's the nuke, Obama gave Russia the Crimea, Biden gave Russia permission to invade the rest of Ukraine - gas is below where it was under both Obama and Biden - and it is all Trump's fault.
The education (K-12) system and the propagandists in the media have finally given the country away.

yeah, GA sent one of each to the senate 6 years ago. Ossoff and Warnok (sp) both at the same time! And now they elected a lady for governor that got kicked out as mayor of ATL after 2 years.
Moved out after the Senators got elected, and now am more that glad I left!
