  1. Remember when the screeching idiot left lost their collective shit when Bush said the best way to protect Social Security for future generations would be to privatize a portion of it? Hillary even lied about this in 2016 during her campaign against Trump. The left brings it up every so often as a "look how stupid the Repubs are..." That was in 2000, sidetracked by 9/11, but then again in 2004 and 2005. Workers would have been able to carve out some of their SS payments to put in their own private accounts, where investment options would be limited to certain large scale, low cost index funds. In January of 2004, the Dow was closing around 10,500ish. It's now around 40,000ish. Even with the catastrophic dip we saw in 2008, that's around a 6.8% rate of return. That's quite a bit better than what's in the SS trust fund, which the Boomers are set to drain. An investment in VTSAX, or the Vanguard total S&P index, is returning closer to 8% over that period. I don't imagine SS will be around for people my age. I'm 44 now. I can't imagine SS is still there in 20 years without major major reforms. I sure wish I could have been putting some of that SS $ into a private, SS IRA and just letting it compound instead... Something is better than nothing...
  2. I called this when Roe v Wade was overturned. Dipshit Repubs are overplaying their hands. If you're going to let women vote, you have to let them kill babies. It's that simple. If you don't, you die come election time.
  3. I expect there will be a bit of a pullback as investors start to harvest some profits from this Q1 run.
  4. Don't know anything about it. Hobbs is a twat but threats are just dumb.
  5. Still an excessive amount for a situation in which everyone was paid in full and contracts were agreed and signed. But TBH, it'd have been better for Trump if this wasn't lowered on appeal. He'd win in a landslide if Trump Tower became the James Tower...
  6. RHCP. Can't stand any RHCP made since "One Hot Minute." Everything since then has been radio-friendly, overplayed garbage. Green Day. Fucking corporate sellouts. Everything since Nimrod has been absolute poppy trash. The Offspring. Same. Ixnay on the Hombre was their last decent album, but nothing came close to Ignition or Smash. Since Ixnay, corporate garbage. Springsteen Rush Post-Black Metallica Smashing Pumpkins - people were ape for this shit... I never really got it. Couple decent tracks and the rest made me wonder if Corgan had testosterone at all. Everclear. Candlebox. Pearl Jam after Vitalogy, their last good album. Lost their edge and became way too folksy.
  7. Especially those ones. Fat slobs on the dole vote blue.
  8. You're reading "moms who don't want democrats cutting their kids dicks and tits off"
  9. Married women lean republican. Single, miserable, unmarried twats overwhelmingly vote democrat.
  10. Tim Dillon's podcast is my favorite weekly listen. Play it at 1.8x speed with "trim silence" selected and he sounds completely coked out and it's even funnier. He has 1 or 2 rants like this per month that make my ribs hurt laughing.
  11. Was there any discussion about term limits?
  12. They all do cherry picking, but what possible justification is there for continuing to print, other than to point to record high equities indices?
