Felt so good to do something, anything. and then to hang out for a few hours with 500 people. I knew probably 20 that were there, before Saturday. Know a few more now but mostly just acquaintances. But it was community and it was real. Lawn mowing, gardening, golfing just weren't quite as cool or engaging. We chanted "This is what democracy looks like" and I believe it.. No masks, no combat fatigues, no zip ties, no angry words, no guns. You outta try it. And it continues on social media with vids from here and all over the country. Asheville had 5000. Boston, DC, SF, NYC, Columbus, Ann Arbor, Buffalo and 1300 other sites, millions more. Comments from everywhere. This is more grass roots than MAGA ever was and folks are very motivated. Democracy will perservere. Edited April 7 by Joe Ferguson forever
Mikie2times Posted April 7 Posted April 7 (edited) Doesn’t appear like a market bottom is in site. Futures are 3% down. Worst route since Covid. I don’t imagine FOX will have tickers running this week. Trump will celebrate Zimbabwe negotiations. In a matter of 3 trading days we are approaching a Bear market from all time highs just weeks ago. Incredible. I’m 42 and the only comparable market events I saw to this was housing crash and Covid. Edited April 7 by Mikie2times

Andy1 Posted April 7 Posted April 7 (edited) Are we in the 25th Amendment territory? That’s a serious question as any sane president would not be celebrating the beauty of the loss of trillions of dollars of wealth from millions of Americans. He seems to be completely detached from reality. Edited April 7 by Andy1 2

B-Man Posted April 7 Posted April 7 French Business Leaders Reject President Macron’s Demand to Divest from USA April 6, 2025 According to French media, quoting multiple corporate leaders and company directors throughout France , the leadership of France’s biggest companies told Macron to ‘get stuffed’ following the French president’s demand to divest their interests from America. President Macron ordered 50 of the largest companies with positions in the USA to attend an emergency economic meeting at Elysée Palace. As reported by French media, “Some of us fell out of our chairs,” confided one of the 50 or so French business leaders invited.” “We are not in an administered economy,” thunders the leader of an employers’ movement. And the CEO of a CAC 40 giant bluntly asserts: “I don’t give a damn about what Macron says. We have operations in the United States. There is no question of abandoning them just like that. We must respect our commitments to our employees, our customers and our shareholders. The American consumer market is the most valuable consumer market in the world. We do not have the largest population; however, we do have the largest population with the ability to purchase things. It is the ability to buy stuff that makes access to the U.S. market the golden ticket for foreign company sales and profit. https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2025/04/06/french-business-leaders-reject-president-macrons-demand-to-divest-from-usa/ https://www.lefigaro.fr/conjoncture/ce-que-dit-macron-je-n-en-ai-rien-a-cirer-ces-grands-patrons-francais-ulceres-par-l-appel-a-cesser-d-investir-aux-etats-unis-20250404

dgrochester55 Posted April 7 Posted April 7 (edited) I don't like a lot about these changes either, but some of you all have been creating threads and panic posts for ten days straight at all hours. Are you all even sleeping at any point? Not healthy. Even if you are 100% against the tariffs, that is no way to live life. Edited April 7 by dgrochester55 1
