That doesn't look like Colorado.
Lol

That’s what it looks like out toward Greeley and East of Denver when they’re getting decent rain

Been thinking a lot about this. Dirty Harry, Death Wish, Forced Vengeance, etc etc. The 70's had tons of vigilante movies because cities had become hell holes with tons of violent crime. The 80's and 90's saw crack downs on crime but libs complained about jail population even as crime rates dropped.... We need to build a penal colony somewhere and just banish anyone who commits 3 felonies. Gone from US soil for life.

I've suggested Greenland already.

You know if conservatives did this to anyone we'd get 30 years.

They make glasses for that.

GROK: What is Shorting Stocks?
Shorting stocks, also known as short selling, is a trading strategy where an investor bets that a stock's price will decline. Unlike traditional "long" investing (buying low and selling high), shorting involves selling high first and buying low later. It's essentially a way to profit from falling markets or overvalued companies. However, it's riskier than buying stocks outright because losses can be theoretically unlimited.How Short Selling Works: Step by Step

1. Borrow the Shares: You borrow shares of a stock from a broker (who typically sources them from other investors' portfolios). You pay a borrowing fee for this.
2. Sell the Borrowed Shares: Immediately sell those shares on the open market at the current price. The cash from this sale goes into your account.
3. Wait for the Price to Drop: Monitor the stock, hoping its price falls due to poor earnings, bad news, or market downturns.
4. Buy Back the Shares (Cover the Short): Once the price drops, buy the same number of shares back (at the lower price) and return them to the lender.
5. Pocket the Profit: The difference between the sale price (high) and buyback price (low), minus fees and interest, is your profit.

If the price rises instead, you'll have to buy back at a higher price, resulting in a loss.Simple Example

• You think XYZ stock (currently $100/share) is overvalued and will drop.
• Borrow 100 shares and sell them for $10,000.
• Price falls to $70/share after a week.
• Buy back 100 shares for $7,000 and return them.
• Profit: $10,000 - $7,000 = $3,000 (minus fees).

If it rises to $130, you'd lose $3,000 on the buyback.Key Risks and Considerations

• Unlimited Losses: If the stock price skyrockets (e.g., due to a short squeeze like GameStop in 2021), you could lose far more than your initial investment.
• Margin Requirements: Brokers require a margin account and may force you to cover (buy back) if losses mount, via a "margin call."
• Dividends and Fees: You owe any dividends paid while shorting, plus borrowing costs.
• Not for Beginners: It's advanced and often used by hedge funds. Retail investors face restrictions in some markets (e.g., U.S. "uptick rule" limits shorts during big drops).

Shorting helps markets by providing liquidity and correcting overvaluations, but it's speculative. Always consult a financial advisor before trying it!

We should be shorting the dollar.

Like im 5. I do not understand the short thing.

Short is betting a "stock" falls in price. So people who sold short when silver hit $40 thinking that was a top are going to have to pay the difference in price. If you lose leverage you can lose generational wealth real quick.

She actually seems really stable.

That's odd. Hell, Pakistan shares a ton of tribal families. That's why Osama was hiding out there.

Federal judge blocks Trump administration from deploying National Guard troops to Chicago, rest of state​

CHICAGO — A federal judge in Chicago on Thursday blocked the Trump administration from deploying National Guard troops to the city and state as part of its ongoing immigration enforcement push, saying she had no faith in the government’s claims of out-of-control violence and that it was federal agents who started it by aggressively targeting protesters with tear gas and militaristic tactics.

The ruling by U.S. District Judge April Perry is the latest setback for President Donald Trump, who has claimed ongoing violence and clashes between protesters and immigration agents in Chicago and other U.S. cities justified sending federalized troops onto the streets as a security force, even as local and state officials accused the president of manufacturing a crisis to justify unnecessary — and unprecedented — force.

The temporary restraining order issued by Perry, which took effect immediately, bars the president from deploying federalized National Guard troops from any state to any location in Illinois. A written ruling would be issued Friday, she said.

Gov. JB Pritzker cheered the ruling in a statement on social media, writing, “”Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.”

Perry’s ruling “confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois. And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago,” Pritzker wrote.

A spokesperson for Trump, meanwhile, said the judge got it wrong — and there will be an appeal.

“Amidst ongoing violent riots and lawlessness, that local leaders like Pritzker have refused to step in to quell, President Trump has exercised his lawful authority to protect federal officers and assets,” White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson wrote in an emailed statement. “President Trump will not turn a blind eye to the lawlessness plaguing American cities and we expect to be vindicated by a higher court.”
