Wow PA trading at 95c now. This thing gonna close or what? Slightly tempted to sell some and ride it back up.

Lol of course my H Biden Indictment target gets hit to free up money and all the free money has dried up

Jesus that’s insane. How was this trading at $0.01? You’d think it would have been at least like $0.20.

Because this fell out of the sky and the deadline was today.

Oh lol I completely forgot what todays date was. I was thinking Nov 23rd was several days away. Probably time for me to go to bed.

I just did that, I don’t believe PA closes for a little while, some counties are still out there–one has a very tight race. Risk losing out the last 5 but it won’t take much for it to go back to 90. As I noted before, margin market especially in PA is a bit risky if trump really decides to push it. (I dont’ think he can get enough to overturn a state but I do think he can get enough thrown out in a state or two to move the #'s)

The free money %'s got decimated tho now, very low return stages at this point.

Yeah I suppose if any of these cases actually make it to the Supreme Court then Biden shares would drop a bit, but there’s not really anything else for me to put the money in so I’m probably just going to let it ride and hope that PI resolves the markets soon

How much are you guys keeping on the site for the GA runoffs?

(no on pompeo was in the 70’s???)

Lol so this one guy single handedly moved all those lines to their absurd point.

This is the guy who I tried to bet $1,000 the other day. Dave is not a very smart man. But he has some words of advice for all of us. Take your money and run, the storm is coming. Or the Kraken. Or something like that. Original comment is in response to a video he posted titled “It takes a brave man to bet against Donald Trump”.

It’s idiots like Dave that allow us to make free money betting on events that already happened. Thank you Dave’s of the world.

For the rest of your life whenever Dave tries to argue politics, just be like,

“Hey Dave, remember that time you bet on the guy who lost an election that was already over? Classic!”

“Bet against Donald Trump in what?”
“Bankrupting a casino?”
“Losing an election?”

I’d love to do that but he won’t bet. Probably because he’s likely pretty poor, but he uses religion as his excuse and “I can’t in good faith take money from you when you are brainwashed by the leftist media”.

Correct response to that, is, as always:

"Cluck

Cluck."

well that’s at least partially true, he won’t in good faith ever pay you.

God, the whole “Fake News” coinage was a brilliant idea. Kellyanne Conway first threw out “alternative facts” as a very timid proto-version, but everyone laughed at how half-assed and blatantly Orwellian that term was. Even your dumb MAGA chuds understand that “alternative facts” is bullshit. “Fake News” is simple and primal and stupid. Of course if caught on, it connects in a very basic way. In some ways Orwell overestimated the power of bureaucratic doublespeak and underestimated the power of the Big Lie. It’s all Fake News, all the media that makes you feel bad. Fake, all of it, CNN, NBC, your local paper, it’s all Lügenpresse.

As of now we have an entire voting block of people who used to watch the nightly news and 60 Minutes and were loosely connected to reality, but now have been given permission to tune out all facts and all information. If it’s not on OANN, it’s Lügenpresse.

I don’t know where we go from here. It’s normal now for people to tune out every source of legitimate information and listen to Fox News or OANN. These people can’t be reached or persuaded, they’ve shut themselves off from all news that makes them feel bad. In an era of unprecedented access to information, they live in a bubble. There is a proto-Matrix cocoon of OANN and Facebook that is trapping people into an alternate reality, I don’t know how this ends.
