@marklevinshow And still Thune does nothing.

MILLIONS OF REPUBLICANS HAVE BEEN DISENFRANCHISED BY STATE DEMOCRATS AND DEMOCRAT DONORS AND POLITICIANS NATIONWIDE -- IN OTHER WORDS, THE DEMOCRAT PARTY ROBBED MILLIONS OF AMERICANS THEIR VOTE.  WHEN REPUBLICANS VOTE IT WILL BE LIKE VOTING IN FASCISTIC AND COMMUNIST REGIMES, WITH THE OUTCOME ALREADY PREDETERMINED.

@MichelleMaxwell Tennessee.

Looks like the Maxwell Family will be moving. I refuse to live in a state where I have no representation. I did it for 26 years in California. Was hoping my home state could see the big picture instead of “orange man bad” but no they are too blinded by hate. They well reap what they sow. So we are thinking Arkansas, East Tennessee or maybe Florida. Any other suggestions?

@kevin_smith45 No.

Serious Question... Is there anyone at the RNC who cares AT ALL?? LIKE EVEN A LITTLE BIT???

@EYakoby Canada is gone if they keep this up.

BREAKING: A Canadian terrorist who stormed a military recruitment center and stabbed a corporal has been granted permission to travel to Mecca—and then onward to Somalia to meet an arranged marriage bride. What is the West doing?

@kate_p45 Republicans are gutless. Dems hate you, but they play to win. Republicans just play around. November is going to be a bloodbath for the Republicans.

II’ll be blunT. Reading these posts from GOP Senators is absolutely infuriating. Spare us the outrage tweets and performative statements. You weren’t sent to D.C. to narrate what the left is doing. You were sent by WE THE PEOPLE to stop it. You hold the majority. You have the power. So what’s the excuse? Instead of action, all we see is posturing, empty words, and recycled outrage. Enough. Do your job. DO YOUR JOB @MarshaBlackburn @LeaderJohnThune @SenateGOP

@Cernovich 37000 voters just made 1.3 million voters irrelevant.

51% of voters can take away 100% of the rights of 49% of the voters. Democracy.

@AriFleischer Republicans in all red states better get busy redistricting the heck out of their state and eliminate as many dem districts as possible.

I should also point out that the GOP will now lose net seats across the country. If you’re going to pick a fight, at least win it. The other side will always fight back. All this was foreseeable and avoidable. We should not have started this fight.

@realroseceline Bought MMM 5ish years ago at $100. It promptly dropped to $80. Just held. $150 today. Your post is spot on.

Most people come into the market thinking the same way. I buy a stock at $100, it goes to $150, I win. If it drops to $70, something must be wrong. It feels logical, but it’s actually backwards. In a perfect world, your stock wouldn’t behave like that. It would move in line with the business over time. If the business is generating 15% returns on capital, over time the stock will deliver a 15% return. It would be slow, steady, and almost boring in line with the return of capital your business generates. But the market doesn’t work like that. Prices move on emotion, positioning, chaos, and short term thinking. They swing far more than the business underneath them and that where most investors lose perspective. Take a simple example. A business (not a stock), goes from $100 to $115 to $132 over two years. Nothing extraordinary, just steady and natural improvement in value. The business is doing exactly what you want it to do. Now look at the stock, it goes from $100 to $50 to $75 over that same period. Most investors feel like they lost money, even though the business is worth more than before. The only thing that changed was the price. That’s the game, the business compounds quietly but stock moves around it wildly. Volatility is not risk, it’s the price you pay to own a compounding business in a public market. If you want the return, you have to accept the path and there’s no way around it. And the path is the hard part because a stock can go from $100 to $150 to $100, or from $100 to $50 to $100. Same ending, completely different experience. One feels easy, the other makes people quit. That’s why most investors don’t get the return the business produces. They don’t survive the path required to get there. They react to the swings instead of focusing on the intrinsic value. When you ask for a stock to go from $100 to $150 quickly, you’re pulling future returns forward. It feels good now, but you’re lowering what you can earn next. The opposite is true when the stock drops and nothing changes. Up fast doesn’t mean you’re right and down fast doesn’t mean you’re wrong. Most of the time it just means the market moved. The market trains you to focus on the wrong thing. It gives you a price every second and makes you feel like you need to act. It turns a long term process into a short term reaction. Most people don’t sell because the business broke. They sell because the price broke. That one decision ruins more returns than anything else. Time horizon changes everything. Over one year, this looks random. Over ten years, it starts to look obvious. Same business, different experience depending on how long you stay. So what actually matters is simple. What does the business earn, and what does it do with that capital. If it earns strong returns and keeps reinvesting, that’s your return. Imagine you owned the whole business privately. It earns $15 on $100 every year and keeps reinvesting. One day someone offers you $70, the next day $150. You wouldn’t care because you’d focus on what the business is earning. Public markets trick you into doing the opposite. The biggest mistake isn’t volatility. It’s confusing price with reality. Over time, the business does the work and the stock just reflects it. 🌹

@WallStreetMav @MarioNawfal Nope.

@MarioNawfal I bet it doesn't collapse.

IF A FULL BLOWN WAR RESTARTS, THE GLOBAL ECONOMY WILL COLLAPSE

@JulianKlymochko No, there isn't. The vast, vast majority of fund managers can't beat the S&P over a 10 years period. Over a 20 year period, almost NONE beat it. I bet Greg will do just fine.

There's a lot of talented and highly experienced portfolio managers out there who could run this portfolio effectively.

@DamonHininger @GovBillLee Winning!!!!

@GovBillLee keeps stacking up wins!!

@AlanCigarKing @SenRickScott Republican senators are completely worthless. We give them the WH, Senate and the House and they won't do anything. And Thune blocks recess appointments. Thune/McConnell HATE Trump and are blocking what we voted for 100%.

ENOUGH with your cringy posts and wannabe influencer videos. Round up some senators with balls and get Thune REMOVED. If not, then shut the fuck up, @SenRickScott.

@GardinerIsland NTRS and DK saved my day. Up a tiny bit.

azz got kicked hard today -75bps everything gold and ships crushed me

@dirtcheapbanks Suggest you pick an alternate time to update and attend church with your family. Better long term investment.

I have built a spreadsheet. It has 847 rows. Each row is a community bank in the United States with a market cap below $200 million, a price-to-tangible-book ratio under 0.85, a non-performing loan ratio below 0.4%, and a CEO who has been in the role for at least twelve years. I update it every Sunday from 6 AM to 11 AM while my family attends church without me. I have visited the headquarters of nineteen of these banks in person. I have eaten a complimentary lobby cookie at each one. The cookies are how you can tell. A bank with a good cookie is a bank that respects its depositors. A bank with a stale cookie is a bank that will be acquired within 36 months at a 40% premium. I am never wrong about the cookies. The cookies have never lied to me. The cookies are the only thing left that tells the truth.

@TheGarpInvestor You are right. Good lookin' biz, but not cheap!!

$MSCI is such a good business. Wish it sold at a lower multiple, but great businesses rarely sell at a discount.

@DamonHininger @Starbucks It's their "eastern" HQ. Sure.... Gonna be their "only" HQ if Seattle keeps up their nonsense, anti biz behavior. Welcome SBUX to Nashville!!!

Holy mackerel! Let’s GO @Starbucks!

@WallStreetMav Giving the Republicans the Senate & The House has proven just how useless they are. The Dems will destroy our country, but at least they actually USE their power when in power. The Reps don't. What a waste.

Senate Republicans cut CBP and ICE funding out of the DHS appropriations bill in the middle of the night to appease Democrats. Now, they’re running out of money again. The Big Beautiful Bill funds are being drained to help pay for things other than mass deportations, which means those are slowing down too. Democrats are governing from the minority and Republicans are still holding the noose around their own necks with the filibuster.

@Chicago1Ray @SenMikeLee @HawleyMO @SenTedCruz @SenRickScott @SenEricSchmitt Don't hold your breath.

Enough is enough..🚨 Time to get loud folks I'M CALLING ON THESE 5 SENATORS TO TAKE THE STEPS NEEDED TO REMOVE JOHN THUNE AS MAJORITY LEADER TODAY @SenMikeLee @HawleyMO @SenTedCruz @SenRickScott @SenEricSchmitt NOTHING IS GETTING DONE UNDER THUNE Remove John Thune 👇

@SenRickScott The Senate Republicans are "All talk, no do". I'm done with you after 46 years of voting straight Republican tickets.

It’s time to make the SAVE America Act the law of the land! We need to BLOW UP the filibuster and SECURE our elections 🇺🇸

@GinaSaysSo @BasedMikeLee He, and all 52 of his fellow R senators, are worthless. ZERO recess allts, passing nothing the base wants. A waste of two years in total power.

Here's @BasedMikeLee again speaking to us instead of his coworkers.
