Appearances are everything with these clowns.

Well, math. And greed. If he unloads too much it will tank the price, which will indice panic selling which will tank the price more.

There is supposedly some kind of lockup period for the 80% ownership group but that's probably very nonbinding.

It's more that if you try to sell $40B when there is only $10B in liquidity, you'll drive the price to zero.

Eggs are now up $3.89 a dozen around here. I suppose it might be too much to hope for $1 a gallon gas like it was during the height of the pandemic, even as we know it's possible.

Everyone ready for tomorrow?

Hello?

Anyone?

As we prepare for tomorrow’s inauguration, I know many of you who view President-Elect Trump as someone who deeply cares about America and seeks to improve the country as a whole.

Personally, I view Trump as someone who could not possibly care any less about America, and is interested solely in improving the lot of himself (first and foremost) and a very select group of Americans at the top. And that he will do so at the expense of the greater public, especially those who don’t happen to think or look exactly as he does. He cares not a single whit about American values (despite crowing about them daily) and seeks only to divide us so he can grab more and more power. He is a narcissist who surrounds himself by yes-men and sycophants and will sell out the very soul of this nation if someone praises him or if he thinks he’ll make a buck. He is the absolute antithesis of everything we look for in a great American leader and I fear that the damage he will cause will be irreparable.

I hold a very, very sincere hope you all are right and that I am 100% dead wrong. When we get back together in 4 years to do this again, I will be absolutely thrilled if all our lots have collectively improved. Nothing would make me happier than to admit that I was completely wrong about Trump and am proud to say he has been our leader.

It will require significant work from both sides, but for the sake of progress, I’ll keep that flame of optimism burning.

I don't really believe that.

I think it's drummed up media bullshit.

Bra and blazer?

Mr Trump will sign an executive order declaring the federal government will only recognise two genders.

Mr Trump will issue an executive order aimed at ending Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives in the federal government.

Mr Trump is expected to issue an executive order to end birthright citizenship for the children of illegal migrants on his first day in office.

Mr Trump is expected to order the renaming of the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska’s Mount Denali to honour “American greatness”.

Do you expect them to uphold the same 14th amendment that prevents Trump from legally holding office?

They already ruled on that one.
