Still waiting for that Travolta pic!

In 2015, I marched for Bernie and donated to his campaign. In 2019, after years of being a miserable democratic socialist who blamed everyone else for my sadness, I decided that I couldn’t stand being a miserable fuck anymore, and needed to start taking risks and aggressively started doing stuff to change my life. I started working multiple jobs. I had 3 I was juggling at one point. I funded my life with one of them, and with the additional jobs, I invested all of my dollars in Palantir. It was honestly fun. Yeah, I worked 70 hours a week usually and sometimes would go 60 days without a day off, but it was exhilarating. I was making changes and doing things. It was way better than being miserable and angry and making my entire identity about politics and my disdain for “the rich.” Those were hopeless times and I was glad to be doing something for myself. I was able to grow a portfolio of 4,000 Palantir shares at an 8 dollar cost basis between 2021-2023. 32,000 dollars from hardcore grinding. Between 2023-2025, that 32 grand grew to over 400 grand. In May 2024 I started rotating some of the profits into TSLA, along with purchasing with new income. I’ve learned so much about capitalism since 2019, how wealth is created, and the difference between makers and takers. I’ve been inspired by so many amazing builders and entrepreneurs on this platform. I’ve even interacted with many of them. Totally surreal. Today, I cheered in my car as it drove me home when I heard that Elon’s pay package was approved. I voted my 750 shares on it with a huge grin on my face. If Elon gets paid 1 trillion dollars, I will be a multimillionaire. After all I’ve been through and after everything I’ve done for myself over the last 10 years, I look at this post by Bernie and know I would’ve cheered it on in 2015, but today, I see it for what it actually is. Manipulative, depressing rhetoric intended to depress a base of voters and make them feel hopelessly dependent on him and his colleagues. None of them build anything or create value or give working class people like me the opportunity to peg my labor against their genius. They did nothing but make me miserable. I hope even one person can read this get pumped to start doing shit. There are ups and downs, but it’s yours. Nobody can take your grind away from you. Kick ass and build over years of time and watch what happens along the way. Don’t listen to sad miserable people like Bernie.

What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. I’m introducing two bills tomorrow to stop Congress from getting a paycheck during the shutdown.

Trump deciding to go all "kill the filibuster" is just going to get Democrats to drag out the shutdown hoping the GOP really does it for them.

I'm asking people to think past their own talking points for five seconds. One, they didn't last time everyone said that. Two, they almost certainly won't have the votes to end it. At the very least, they'll need 52 seats. But if you end it for them, you take the blame for blowing it up, get very little out of it, and they get to reap the benefits if they get to just a 51-seat majority.

Lots of talk these days about disavowing this person or that person but I want to be abundantly clear that I disavow all of you.

I just wish we had some evidence from previous examples that prove whether socialism works or not.

Shutdown appears headed to a new level with Democrats reportedly ready to prolong the standoff. Perhaps Trump should stop outsourcing handling of the shutdown to Republican leaders of House and Senate. A presidential full court press -- Oval Office every day, perhaps multiple times a day -- with a brief, clear message: 1) Here is the bill to fund the government that the House has passed. 2) It is a straight bill, no tricks, identical to one agreed to by Democrats just this year. 3) Senate Democrats are using the filibuster to stop it. 4) The president and the GOP will negotiate the Democrats' concerns, but *only after* they allow the government to re-open. 5) Everything depends on Democrats lifting the filibuster. Treat the situation like the crisis it is about to become, with the president pressing Democrats to do the right thing. It might not work, but at least the GOP position will be clearly, prominently argued from the White House every day.

Brennan is such a hack, playing word games.
