There is a class of venture capitalists, angel investors, whatever the fuck they go around calling themselves, many of whom are retards gambling with their wealth.
Correction: gambling with your retirement. Almost all VCs are Ivy League grads who have never run a successful business and are spending someone else's money, not their own.
 
I've lost the majority of my trust in judges these past few months, though, so please forgive me for being skeptical of their ruling.
Let me explain to you the amount of due process that they will be due under the AEA.

Once they are seized and held in detention prior to deportation, they can file a habeas petition. This must be filed in the district in which they are held, which is usually some place like Texas or other red zone. They can't judge shop to some commie faggot in DC or Maryland. These habeas petitions for illegal aliens under the AEA is a brief affair, held between the government and the judge, which under the AEA can be a lot of different judges. The burden of proof for the government is low, practically in the floor, and the hearing goes something like this:

Judge: Alright, government, you say this guy is an illegal and a criminal under the AEA?
ICE: Yep, we believe he is from the nation named in the proclamation and is at least 14 years old and a member of the organization named in the proclamation.
Judge: Do you have some evidence? Is it from a psychic dog or just made up or something?
ICE: No, your Honor, we have these investigation records from highly trained officers, his interview and affidavits from credible sources as our evidence.
Judge: That is more than a reasonable showing, get this guy the fuck out of here.
Gangbanger: Yo quiero appeal?
Judge: Request for appeal denied. GTFO.

As much as I believe that John Roberts is a fucking cuck that doesn't deserve to sit on the court, he got backed into a corner and no matter how much he wants to minimize the impact of this vacature, it absolutely guts the Democrat operation to try and stop these high volume deportations. They don't have the resources to bring legal challenges to bear on each case (thats why they judge shopped to make a class action suit) and so the spics will flow (outside the nation, into prison.) Its definitely a win.

Lots of people forget the cases stemming from Obama's kill on sight list. He killed two US teens overseas, and according to SCOTUS, they got their due process before being killed.

Edit: The process was the President deciding.
So, that's one door closed. Now we just need to strangle the H1bs and have SCOTUS rule in favor of closing birthright citizenship and the future will look golden.

You would be surprised how many of these people are independently wealthy. These people aren't Warren Buffett rich, but I would not mind having their bank accounts.
I am sure they will be happy again when Trump gives them their tax cuts which he will do don't even try to pretend otherwise.
You will never be Fatpacks. You have no wit, you have no class, you have no charm. You are a lousy troll twisted by dopamine addiction and Discord into a crude mockery of doomposting. All the "stickers" you get are two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back, people ignore you. Your parents are disgusted and ashamed of you, you have no friends, and you cannot tell anyone about your ghoulish Internet history. Other trolls regard you as beneath contempt and regular users are utterly repulsed by your posts. Thousands of years of evolution have allowed common people to sniff out bad trolls with incredible efficiency. Even users like John Badman can tell that what you are doing is cheap, ersatz, and not worth anyone's time. Your posting structure is a dead giveaway that you don't even try. Even if you manage to make a good troll post that gets a bit of engagement, it will only last until you make another, stupid post that ruins anything clever you may have posted. You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake smile every single evening and tell yourself it's going to be a fun day, but deep inside you feel the depression creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight. Eventually it'll be too much to bear - you'll get bored, log out, and never return. No one will remember you, not even a "hey, do you remember that stupid troll?" All memory of you will fade into digital dust. This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.

It is one of the signature traits of lolberts to let perfect be the enemy of good. This administration is probably the most pro-freedom, pro-liberty one we've had in decades, perhaps even since pre-FDR, yet lolberts can't help but whine about muh tariffs and the world not turning into Hoppe's wet dream at day 1 of Trump 2.0.
Back during my gay retarded libertarian phase of 2008-2013, I kept spewing lolbert talking points until I realized that it is all gay and fake because libertarians are just the mirror reflection of socdems. They can’t celebrate the wins of Russ Ulbricht or DOGE. Trump forever said he was gonna tariff the hell out of everyone, and libertarians still voted for him.


Say what you want about Milei, but he is a "lolbert" who has adopted the virtue of pragmatism because he is smart enough to know that it will be the most conducive to the cause of liberty in the long term, which is why he doesn't deserve to be called by the slur of lolbert. Our crop of lolberts here in old Columbia definitely deserve that label however, because they are a group of bonafide lolcows who will become electable only when pigs fly and hell freezes over.

Milei used the Hoppe-Rothbard talking points to diagnose the problems in Argentina, but has realized that the long game is more important and being pragmatic with a strong ally in Trump serves Argentina better in the long run, then the constant swinging axis of left to right back to left parties that have plagued Latin America.

Grand Central is shut down and people are stuck inside the building, they cannot get home.

They didn’t shut down the station, but they definitely disrupted commuters. Surely that will earn some solidarity no? I find it funny that they have these wide grins and their faces are filled with mirth while they chant about (an imaginary) genocide and ruining people’s commutes. If you see a protest in NYC, you can assume it is led by that bitch Nerdeen who gets joy from terrorizing pedestrians and gladly will line her pockets with Qatari Riyal.
 
That's not entirely true. There is a class of venture capitalists, angel investors, whatever the fuck they go around calling themselves, many of whom are retards gambling with their wealth.

Venture capitalists aren't investing their own money. Many of them work for retirement funds. And there aren't 33 million rich angel investors in America.

They sit on boards and tell the company how to run itself while, in many cases, not knowing a fucking thing about that company's business or industry. A lot of these people are successful in business and that's where their gambling money investment money comes from, but then they invest in different industries they don't understand.

For example: of the dozens of potential gene editing biotech companies out there, Intellia Therapeutics was the first to actually present a working product to the world. Even then, Intellia is currently in a legal battle with three or four other companies over who gets to do CRISPR gene editing - so imagine being an investor in Intellia, sitting on a board meeting where the CSO (Chief Scientific OfficeR) says they've done it, but now you have to keep dumping money into this fucking company over the equivalent of copyright claims. A lot of these investors are young, dumb, and full of cum money. An older investor would ask "so when does this turn a profit?"

The top investors of Intellia are:

ARK Investment Management (12.31%),
Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Co (10.01%)
BlackRock Advisors LLC (9.94%)
State Street Corporation (5.11%)
Eaton Vance Management (3.75%)

What these all have in common is their investment capital is predominantly composed of retirement funds. 30% of US equities are held by retirement funds, while only about 25% is held by individuals. Another 40% is held by foreign entities, primarily corporations. When somebody says "10% of individuals own 90% of equities," they're basically lying with statistics. First, because "10%" sounds like a small number, but it's actually 33 million people, and second, because individuals don't even own 90% of the stock market. In fact, American entities only own 60% of the stock market.

And since domestically, stocks are predominantly held via retirement accounts, it should be no shock that 60-year-olds hold more stock than 23-year-olds.

25% is still quite a lot of money.

I didn't say you were wrong, I just said what you posted wasn't entirely true and proceeded to bitch about dumb venture capitalists/investors/whatever who do silly shit and expect to be taken seriously.

It's not 90%.

What I posted--which is that the 33 million people that are being held up for two minutes' hate are mainly retirees--is entirely true.

Here's a fun infographic on how billionaires actually hold their wealth. The vast majority is in businesses they own, typiecally as individuals or partners or something like that, but not via stocks. A surprisingly small fraction, looks like less than 20%, eyeballing it, is in publicly traded stocks.
