I wouldn’t call TSLA shares not an asset.

I would say those shares are significantly over valued. only reason they haven’t already collapsed is because of all the fanbois still sucking musk off.

that they know of.

You can link any news agency you want. It will always come down to “that they know of.”

most rich people will use tools to hide their assets (maybe not from the government, but from the public). Financial information- including stocks, general banking, companies they own or whatever. other assets these are generally confidential. The only really common exception is real estate, but there’s ways of hiding ownership behind companies, trusts, or such. there are entire lawfirms dedicated specifically to doing just that.

People like the Rothschilds or Rockefeller families, and others… They don’t advertise. They don’t share that information, and they take extensive measures to ensure their privacy.

One of those measures is not talking to Forbes and telling them how much cash they have in assets.

So whenever reading that list. Always add that line: "the richest person dumb enough to brag about it" Because honestly, bragging about it like musk or bezos do… is really freaking stupid.

Why would you subject yourself to that?

WHY?!? Even most Christians think they’re terrible movies.

Why wouldn’t they be?

It’s not like it costs money to creat accounts, or post/comment,

I don’t know how clear I can be: it’s not a very good measure.

I’m not even saying it’s a good argument.

I’m saying Trump is the best argument for it.

It’s a question of irony. Most hardcore 2a weirdo’s support trump. Yet he’s the best argument for the 2a.

Make sense?

or she’s trying to get back with trump.

“See I can make shit up too! mines more believable shit!”

Howler Monkey #2 is… not exactly the smartest person.

‘the shooting’ is the Secret Service agent doing their job. The story going the rounds is that the agent was doing a sweep ahead of trump, saw a guy with something that looked suspicious and decided to fire on the guy. Whatever happened between recognizing that things were hinky and the shots… well. that’s the first question.

my cursory search on FL carry laws suggest that unless the guy was coming back from hunting, fishing or target shooting, then he’s not allowed to open carry (there may be some other exceptions.) It’s dubious that’s what he was doing… In any case, dude in a public, not-controlled space, not being an active shooter doesn’t generally allow for lethal force.

It’s entirely possible the agent walked up and chatted with him, or tried to, and the guy either bolted or gave him reason to justify lethal force.

But the biggest question of all: why would a guy planning to kill Trump walk around in plain sight waiting for Trump to show up?

Like. I’m guessing you could see the, uhm, idiocy in that one.

Did you forget about the part where he started a fucking insurrection because he lost an election fair and square?

He’s basically the reason the 2A exists- to act as a final measure against assholes like trump from coming to power.

(In the modern era, it’s not a very good measure, don’t get me wrong. Dudes with rifles- even LMGs- aren’t going to hold out against dudes inside tanks and flying UCAVs dropping bombs… and I’m all for not-idiotic gun control. a firearm painted black is not “tactical”… or any more dangerous.)

Unless it’s a pistol, its either an M16 (or Ar15,), or an AK 47. Them’s the rules in horrible reporting involving firearms.

“hey bro… you can get Trump to autograph your rifle if you go to that spot and wait for him with it! Hey, I know. Get a go pro and live stream it!”

For what it’s worth, the shooter was a secret service agent. Nobody else seems to have taken shots.

which sorta raises questions, dunnit?

running from secret service agents (that are shooting at you.)

“resisting arrest”

gonna go with “the chineese gymnastics team”

Largely because it’s the only one that isn’t universally true. it gets irony points just for that.

Just gonna say it:

Donald trump is the single greatest argument for 2A rights we have ever seen.

Granted: We need at least some basic changes- universal background checks. waiting periods to let those happen. ban bump stocks. ban anything like bumpstocks.Trump being the best argument doesn’t change that we need basic reform, and we’ve needed it for decades.

Is Mount Kisco where the NY HIllbillies are?

secret service really can’t just shut everything down when he shows up for a golf or something. Especially for his routine and daily life. It sounds like the guy was standing around a public right of way along the perimeter of the golf course.

my understanding is the agents sweep the next hole ahead of trump getting there, and that’s when he was noticed. (I assume control both that, the hole trump is on, and the previous, to keep anyone from coming up behind,)

the thing I don’t understand is how somebody would be just chilling with a rifle out in plain sight like that. Even the PA guy knew to keep the rifle tucked away before it was time, right?

I think that was a typo for leaks (Autoincorrect,) but, uhm, here’s the times article that came out

friendly reminder… for those who don’t mind a little tin foil.

We’re not talking about the SCOTUS leak that happened earlier today.

but he was holding out for a private jet.

to retire, yes. i remember that, lol.
