Robinhood is no longer allowing users to do anything but close out their #GME or #AMC positions. Hard to put into words how outrageous that is. This is, much more acutely, the definition of manipulating the market.
I’ve got a newsletter coming out about this moment — and about how it went from silly to deeply serious and political yesterday readtangle.com/about
48 hours ago this was funny. 24 hours ago it become a politicial dividing line, a bit more serious and very interesting. Now it's getting really ugly, and a lot of people are about to be extemely pissed off at how hypocritical the ruling class is
I'm going to unload today man. This is so, so deeply screwed.

Yesterday, all these pundits and Wall St bros were up in arms about how "someone was going to get hurt" -- now they are literally tanking the stock values all those people are invested in.

They're pouring gas on the fire and pretending to be the heroes. It's so gross

If you don't understand what's happening, let me explain: a bunch of idiots with internet access are fleecing billion dollar hedge fund companies that typically fleece the rest of us. And they're doing it literally by sheer force of numbers bloomberg.com/opinion/articl… #GME #AMC
They are, in no uncertain terms, upending the entire financial market and pulling off the kinda wealth redistribution you might imagine happening in some socialist dystopia. Except they're doing it by beating Wall St at their own game.

It's hilarious
Hey, buzzkillingtons, obviously Wall St is gonna find a way to make some money off this too. Just enjoy the moment for a minute!

1/ I see all you tweeting at me asking about "BLM" and "antifa" and saying "this is what you get." Let me be clear: you are out of your goddamn minds. "BLM" got teargassed and cleared out for throwing water bottles in a park. I've watched NYPD crack skulls for being cursed at.
2/ This isn't happening because Joe Biden didn't condemn George Floyd protests harshly enough in the summer. That's a bullshit hot take. He DID condemn the violence, and amongst millions of participants in those protests, there were actually very few violent incidents.
3/ Despite that, BLM protesters got a violent response across the country. Tear gas, batons, rubber bullets. A freaking grandfather in Buffalo had his head cracked on the pavement cause some clown bulled him over for standing there.

Donald J. Trump has ended America's streak of a peaceful transfer of power. That's it. That's his legacy. He refused to concede, gathered a mob on the day Congress rightfully elected his successor, and then instructed that mob to march to the Capitol and raise hell.
Nothing else he's done — none of the positive or negative — even comes close to holding a candle to this. This is the whole ballgame. He's the president who ended a flawless history of our leaders peacefully transferring power, and he should be disgraced for all time bc of it.
And guess what? @JennaEllisEsq @RudyGiuliani @tedcruz @SidneyPowell1 @LLinWood @HawleyMO all get credit too. They were the primary actors in getting us here, and I will never ever for the rest of my life forget that. I hope they're proud of the legacy they leave behind.

HELLO!

This is the roll call on Act 77, the law that passed in Pennsylvania to expand mail-in voting.

Democrats in the PA state senate were the ones opposing the bill!!! Because it eliminated single button straight-ticket voting.

EVERY REPUBLICAN SUPPORTED IT.
Here is the roll call, you can read it yourself: legiscan.com/PA/rollcall/SB…

Here is the press release where Democratic Gov. Wolf signed the bill and celebrated it: governor.pa.gov/newsroom/gover…

Here is a news report ab it at the time: pennlive.com/news/2019/10/p…
Anyone telling you that "Republicans didn't have a say in the election" or that "Democrats changed election laws" is flat out lying to your face. They think you are stupid.

Republicans supported this.

They control PA state legislature.

That's why it's all so maddening!

I loudly criticized Twitter's decision to kill the NYPost Hunter Biden story.

I also criticized NPR for explicitly rejecting the idea they'd put reporters on the story.

Those positions have only become less tenable.

It's clearly a serious inquiry.
thedailybeast.com/the-seeds-of-h…
Many of my liberal followers were upset I "gave oxygen" to the NYPost story by sharing it. A lot of people clung onto the absurd, evidence-free notion it was all a Russian disinfo campaign and Biden was totally innocent.

And maybe he is!

But I hope there's some self-reflection.
We're still yet to see evidence that Joe is tied to this. I still think the Fox News/OAN takes on the story were totally absurd and concocted to damage Joe.

But Hunter Biden has done some very shady stuff, and he appears to be in very, very hot water.
