Y'all paying attention yet?

A bit old.. prior to the election but I noticed something..

People don't buy stuff from people who are abusive or racist towards them.

Tesla: declining sales
Harley Davidson: declining sales
Royal Enfield an Indian company is selling 12 times the sales of Harley in the USA.. yes really.

Capitalism is truly amazing.. you can drive the abusive countries & corporations bankrupt!

And I think there's enough backlash against ICE that Palantir's contracts are in trouble.. probably why their stock is going down and hopefully goes down a shit ton more.
 
Anyone else think that the FBI's handling of the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping is amature-hour at best?

Here's why I think so:
1) The local police had too much sway into the initial investigation - the FBI should have complete control;
2) Door cam footage of poor quality was eventually obtained - too slow IMO.
3) Door cam footage was shared to the public - why? There's no way anyone could glean/recognize the culprit - he or she was fully masked, at night. Sharing this footage served only to alert the perpetrator to dispose of all items shown on the shared camera footage.
4) It turns out that gloves were discovered on or near NG's property - why was this information shared?
5) It turns out that the gloves may not have been discovered during the initial FBI investigation. Once discovered, the gloves seem to have been placed into stasis... and some days or weeks later... the FBI belatedly decides... let's run a DNA analysis on the gloves;
6) The FBI shares all stages of the investigation - camera footage, belated DNA investigation, and so on. WTF? The public at large cannot possibly benefit towards identifying the kidnapper - so why share this information? - it can only help the perp.... Why share this? - it's to showboat how great the FBI is under Trump - look how great we are! Instead, it's fuckiing stupid.
7) The FBI sketch of the suspected culprit. WTF? Are you kidding me. The sketch is based on a low resolution video capture of someone, fully masked, with no readily identifiable details. Once more this entire episode - FBI sketch and publication online - only benefits the perp. There's almost zero chance that the FBI sketch resembles the perp.
8) Back to the gloves... based on reporting, DNA analysis of the gloves didn't immediately occur - there seems to have been a prolonged multiple-days analysis of the gloves versus video footage to finally conclude that the gloves, may or may not have been worn by the perp. WTF?!?!? - start DNA analysis immediately and FFS, don't reveal that you've found the gloves.

And on and on.

IMO - what's going on is this.

The FBI, depleted of numerous career officers with years of experience, are operating under leadership whose primary objective is to show how great the FBI is performing and to credit Trump for the "excellent" investigation.

Meanwhile, the investigation is fucked up. Big time. Sharing information that should not have been shared. And inexplicable delays in obvious lines of inquiry.

All of the above said... there appears to be extremely little evidence to go by. It might be the case that Nancy Guthrie is never discovered - and that this outcome would not have been otherwise under an actually competent FBI.

Nonetheless - the chance of a positive outcome for this situation - however slight - has been seriously diminished by whatever-the-fuck the FBI is now doing.

FBI wanted this case to take over the media agenda from Epstein.

A popular news anchor mother is abducted should be box office for US TV rolling news coverage.
 
Holy shit.. tariffs undone, but nothing about the companies or people who paid the tariffs.. proof it was always a scam and that money has been swindled away!
