***Official Political Discussion Thread***

i dont know if i shared on here that i worked on WS for Merrill Lynch back in the 00s.
I was on the equities desk and honestly the greed was real. Nothing special about these cats either...the banks are just dealing with more money, taking more risks cuz its not their money, and got a safety net with the US government.

I recall that as an intern one of my sups gave me $100 to go get his golf clubs on the upper west side. Easiest $100 i ever made. Even reimbursed my lincoln town car taxi.

Anyway I left because the equities desk was shrinking due to online platforms like etrade and scottstrade so as the low man on the totem pole they wanted to move me to debt or IB. Debt was boring to me and IB guys worked like 18 hours a day. I was not about that life so I moved to DC.

Prior to leaving NY i was interviewed by Lehman Bros. Glad i didnt take the job. Although i was young and unmarried so getting laid off at that point wouldnt have been too hard to deal with.

Listed Trading here. Merrill, Bear Stearns, were two of our customers. I got out after BET stock went public, made some cash, jetted.

Ummmm..... He kinda hit that nail on the head at the end there.

After watching “The Swamp” I don’t hate him as much as I thought I did. Dude is smart and seems like he’s playing the game, I’m not sure what his end game is, and he has voted definitely against my beliefs on a lot of things and has looked like a P backing Trump, but all I’m saying is I don’t hate him as much as I thought I did

He’s a sociopath. American Psycho in the flesh, or a Courage the Dog monster of the week with constituents.

As a guy that was born and raised in da Cowboy State, I'm not surprised Nestor's father employer had a small turnout. The Cheneys are royalty in that state. Nestor's brother boss sticks out like a sore thumb. Folks in Wyoming probably thought he was just another clown from Fox News.

cragmatic how's Coal Gang's Animal Unit captain doing?

His influence has made me hate Matt Gaetz less, so Jameson is slowly winning his battle of destroying the libs.

All fun and games aside, public figures need to not be on social media. This online back and forth makes the entire country look even more stupid. Take that debate to the floor like you’re supposed to

Some people need to be snuffed.

Don't get me wrong, President Biden is doing an amazing job so far and I'm happy I voted for him.

But Senator Warren was my OG pick. What could have been my BAE.

I would have gone for Warren if only to see her debate against Trump. The Cheeto is lucky he got to debate Biden.

Is she still blocking her constituents on Twitter? Because the ultimate irony would be that she's so focused on the second amendment, she forgot about the first one.
