    Meh, those are just words from almost 20 years ago. We have all decided that videos from a long time ago don't count.

    It's barely a stretch.

    There's hedge funds and private investors that trade VERY heavily based on political circumstances and have derivatives based on them. It's based around implied market volatility based on fear and consumer risk spending.

    Also saying "just to make some money" is a fucking undersell.

    Trump doesn't give a fuck about same-sex marriage, won't fight it. That's good.

    I think the bigger problem is Trump doesn't give a fuck about anything now that he's elected.

    He's not gonna be calling the shots, Pence and the rest of them are.

    I know hedge funds and such do it. But it's still like saying the Koch brothers are secretly funding the BLM movement to profit from it. Which again, I'd like to see proof of someone doing.

    Is there something else they're doing it for besides making money in this conspiracy laden theory? For the lulz?

    anyone can make money off of things without being the one to have caused them

    there's this weird bias where macro investors get blamed for everything they've made money off of. The few people who saw mortgage bonds were piles of poo poo made a lot of money shorting them in <2008... but had nothing to do with the housing crash

    idk why soros keeps getting credit for all the things he's managed to make money off of. Is it true that some people follow suit when they see soros/his hedge fund making moves? Yeah, sure, but that's akin to saying warren buffett makes money off of buying any old stock because people will follow suit and it will grow just because he bought it

    if soros really was that powerful he'd have a hell of a lot more money than he does (net worth@ 25b). Quick google searching reveals he's got almost 5b in investments... and his hedge fund, which isn't managed by him, has holdings of 25b

    That's very tiny for the guy who's controlling the rothchild's, controlling the entire US political system, and destroyer of economies

    also, the video zoner posted doesn't say what he says it says. Soros just 'admits' to have profited off of the mismanagement of policy/currency by countries and then getting blamed by those country's officials/etc when they tank

    Conspiracy laden theory? I'm not sure what you mean here.

    I'm confused.

    He cannot post anything but youtube videos and memes when challenged. Don't even look at him.

    Fucking Christ people. I come here to read discussions and learn a few things. Not to watch a shitshow about right wing media propaganda from youtube.

    Lol Trump telling his supporters to stop with the racist reactions and telling protesters to stop. Sorry Trump, you started that shit, you can't stop it now.

    There's nothing new for now. You can see information about the two lists Trump came up with on the campaign trail here and here.

    Happily, I already donate to the Human Rights Campaign, CARE, and Planned Parenthood.

    I also sponsor a child in the Philippines and give money to a pet rescue fund because they put up heart-wrenching/warming videos of finding abandoned dogs and nursing them back to health and they only want $5 a month oh my goodness how can you not do that look at how sad these puppies are and how happy they become.

    Oh, kisada, I forgot in that last message I sent, no more breed-specific legislation when it comes to dogs.
