It'd be fun to see him explain it as someone else, hacked account for example which would say either he or Elmo can't keep a password safe.

Step 1: short a bunch of stocks likely to affected by blanket tariffs

Step 2: "I'm enacting a massive across the board tax" causing prices to fall

Step 3: close the shorts for a gain, buy newly lowered stock aft market dip. Announce 'compromise' that brings indexes back up

Step 4: Sell and profit a second time, prepare to return to step 1

You can make anonymous accounts, but there's a difference between 'breadguy' and 'anon'. Who is literally everyone posting on the board. In the chan world so called namefags are shunned and not thought of as true channers. By having an identifiable name it gives you some measure of reputation, a name that you may hold some regard for, or at least that others could decide if they want to listen to or block.

I actually like to think of the chan boards as an experiment in social studies. What happens when you allow for purely repression and repercussion free interaction? There are plenty of people who will say and do some absurd things when they're drunk that they wouldn't dare to sober. What happens when that sense of untouchability is available at any time just by going to a website.

Anyplace that allows, or in the case of 4chan, encourages purely Anon posting is going to be a cesspit. When there's no accountability, no ID of any sort (even a screen name) to tie actions against then there's no reputation to protect. It might be pleasant at first, but you can bet it won't stay that way for long.

We should use this to describe earthquakes.

Sex cruises to where? The complaints of shrinkage will be legendary.

Somehow I doubt Trump would give a damn about MN, NY, and MI (although he won MI, Detroit would be competition to his buddy) and would just say it was the fault of blue state policies.

I was wondering if someone might recognize that

The chair is against the wall and John has a long moustache.

Yeah, but I'm probably more ancient than those get whatever that means...

How about for every tree cut down I take an equivalent amount of material out of one of the buildings he owns? He steals from me I steal from him, it balances things out. Plus it'd get rid of some of that gaudy gold paint annoying the public.

Someone from DHS trying to cause trouble?
