Agreed-it’s far more complex now than it was back when. What do you do with several T in market cap wiped out overnight? Pensions and 401ks leverage stocks of heath care insurers and the like. And that’s just one element to account for.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Natural evolution of social media, sadly. Mo’ users, mo’ problems.

She’s a literal traitor and was killed by her own stupidity. This is insulting to people who deserve me have received such honors.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
SCOTUS seems to certainly be of the opinion that EOs (which are not even laws in the first place) are now the equivalent of Constitutional amendments. Why they think that is unclear as they keep not bothering to explain their rationale.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Pressure from who? Not the voters of NY, clearly. Jeffries and Schumer should be removed- the Democrats (to borrow a phrase from Trump of all people) are treating Mamdani terribly.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Depends on which branch you join. I signed up to do a specific job (MOS, or military occupational speciality) in the Army. Other branches don’t necessarily allow that. Aside from that, you swear to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Totally.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
I can guarantee you they are not. No soldier likes pointless details.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
What a waste of money and, more importantly, soldiers time.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Think I would have said it’s about “shadow President Stephen Miller and his complicit lackey Donald Trump”.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
And unAmerican.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
If there is one thing the Democratic Party is good at, it’s snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Without entirely different leadership, unfortunately I expect the worst.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Why does MAGA hate America so much?
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
So…how are we properly disposing of flags now then?
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
I wonder sometimes if he actually believes all of the bullshit he spews?
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
How many EOs has Trump signed at this point? Feel like he’s got to be close to some sort of record.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
All I know is progressive should all jointly release a statement saying how awesome it is Trump is finally joining them in advancing socialism in this country.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
What exactly does deportation to Uganda look like? Do they just like get off the plane and what? Find a hotel?
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Or, they can do what they are doing…which is largely ignoring him and his message which is a really, really dumb thing to do.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
W. T. F.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
There are actually kids watching that garbage in public school classrooms?
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
We received a $100+ tariff bill on a small package of yarn my wife bought on Etsy (which turned out to be a seller in Denmark). Would honestly prefer it had never been delivered.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
I’d argue it’s time for new Democratic leadership. The current lot has proven wildly ineffective.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Would make more sense if MAGA and Trump were not even more insulting and patronizing.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
He honestly should. And take it a step further- if you’re a corporation and you take any subsidies/investments or other numeraire recompense from the US Gov’t, we want shares in return.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
But Trump said business is booming for restaurants. So one of you must be lying, wonder which one it is? And maybe since we all know it’s him you could call him out for it?
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
And tacky AF.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Would be interesting to see the search warrant and the grounds it was issued under.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
After being asked *repeatedly* to return classified documents. Weird how he never seems to mention that part.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Right? Such a crazy idea, I guess.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Some might call that ‘two weeks’ even.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Seems like it would be very easy for a proper journalist to go find out by talking to restaurant owners.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Shouldn’t there be some determination that he has in fact done so before raiding his house?
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
The Vice President says ‘we’ when talking about a DoJ “investigation”.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Follow up- Name one of these ‘willy nilly’ indictments.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Completely fake charges of not returning classified documents when asked multiple times and then being in possession of said documents. Totally fake.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Difference being- as far as I’m aware, no one has been asking for documents back repeatedly which he refused to return.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Anyone got any stock tips on which companies make gold and black paint?
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
The vast majority of them will not and do not care.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
My wife has as well and she’s like the 3rd generation born in the US.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Cool, thanks for adding yourself to my block list. Oh- and fuck you.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Did better than me, I blocked them after that first racist post.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
I would be done with us too. Hell, I am done with us and I live here.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
TBF, Democrats largely suck on this issue as well.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
So much damage in the interim though. Years of progress lost, years of research gone, years of education wasted. It’s downright depressing.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Any actual reasoning or opinion this time or still nah?
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Maybe we could try actually doing something to help? I mean, I know that’s a crazy idea and all.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
It’s absolutely crazy that this is where we are as a country and even crazier that a very healthy percentage of people actually *like* it.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Or, he’s doing a photo op. Quit carrying water for him already.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
My wife and daughter have taken to carrying their passports everywhere as well. Trump has managed to make me actually hate this country- job well done, I guess.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
We absolutely do. Anyone happen to know where I can find a wormhole to a different one?
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
It’s all just so damn stupid.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Doesn’t JD have an expensive vacation on the tax payers dime to get to?
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Asshole.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Deporting a healthy percentage of our population seems like a brilliant idea. Fucking moronic.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
You’re probably not wrong, but I get very tired of Republicans bitching about the homeless/mental issues and offering no solutions at all. We get it, it’s a problem- but how do we solve it?
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Appreciate the reply!
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah, it’s always interesting how they have no problem paying $80k+ per year to keep someone incarcerated, but $2k a month or whatever in ‘free’ housing to help people stay out of prison is just a bridge way too far.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Which they wouldn’t fund, so that’s out.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
I think we’re all open to solutions, JD.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
So…why specifically it is atrocious JD? You must have a reason for that claim.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
I would include the President, Vice President, and cabinet secretaries as well…
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
So no penalty at all for fraud then?
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Riding around in the Beast before taking a quick photo opp, possibly with another upside down Bible, is not ‘joining law enforcement’.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
The ‘bear’ in this context should wipe out all red districts, not just 5.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Considering he can barely walk, how will that work exactly?
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Under Trump, white collar-type crimes aren’t actually crimes, just opportunities. ‘Law and order’ is really just the oligarch-class can steal from you (including your rights) but stealing from them is illegal.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Random question- but how do you find Scotland for retirement? Have thought about that a time or two myself.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
No idea who she is but she does not seem particularly enthusiastic to be talking about this. I’m guessing Stephen ‘Screamin’ Asshole’ Miller wasn’t available?
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
So like 3 murders instead of 4 in 9 days? 9 days is not a real sample size. Real journalists should call this kind of lazy analysis out.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
What.The.Fuck.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Feels like it maybe it’s Putin’s war, JD.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Putin looks out for the interests of Putin. He gives as much of a damn about the people of Russia as Trump does the people of America.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Authentically moronic is not a positive.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Kash Patel’s crazy eyes make me very uncomfortable.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Trump promoting state ownership of private corporations and MAGA being all for it is really, really weird.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Always wonder if Stephen Miller actually believes the shit he says or not.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Surprised they aren’t scared to be there in such an unsafe place with so much criming.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
He and his father were also sued for racial discrimination by the DoJ. Am sure it’s totally unrelated and a coincidence though.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
*Except for the part where they coordinated the release of stolen DNC emails with Roger Stone after the Access Hollywood bomb.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Is President Trump, who also has committed real estate loan fraud (repeatedly) and fined over $300M for it, calling for himself to step down?
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Can he share the winning power ball numbers while he is at?
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
He’s up there with the heaviest and definitely orangest. Strong tho? Dude can barely walk at this point and has the IQ of a carrot.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
EOs are now equivalent to Constitutional amendments so long as Congress continues to do fuck all and SCOTUS continues rubber stamping everything Trump does.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Trump is responsible for a lot of idiotic shit, but this anti-green energy stuff may be up there with his absolute dumbest ideas.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
They talk an awful lot about prosecuting various Democrats, yet weirdly not a single case has been filed against any of them. It’s been 8+ years and Hillary is still not in fact ‘locked up’. It’s almost like they just make shit up.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Not even entirely sure this union is worth preserving any more.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
However much they paid a consultant to come up with that, they should ask for a refund.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
There is only one person who can end the war immediately- Putin. Weird how Trump never mentions him.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
That’s just depressing. So the FBI is going to become ICE v2?
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Isn’t targeting citizens that commit crimes exactly the goal of law enforcement?
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Sure he did. Also said he was the greatest President ever and supremely alpha, I’m sure.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Many don’t understand it or know what it actually does. It’s like when “the cloud” was going to save everyone money or “big data” your business. Let me know when they get to the trough of disappointment.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Not exactly a difficult calculation to make.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
With or without live rounds? Hopefully they are not locked and loaded as they are not trained for this shit.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Jeffries again showing he is not the right man for the job.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Reek got steamrolled? You don’t say.
Ryan Leonard (@ryandleonard.bsky.social) reply parent
Semenyo with a deserved brace. Glad Ciesa and Salah broke through though at the end.
