What do they conclude about Russia?


During a democrat presidency, when the citizens complain about the ballooning debt and underfunded social programs like social security, I expect they will sell the stock. Not necessarily for those reasons but because Trump bought it and this was a convenient excuse.


That might not all be true. Another comment above here claims the shares came from Intel’s own unsold stock of shares thus not causing any dilution.


I visited a South American country where the water utility was recently sold to a private corporation. The home I briefly visited had a large water barrel inside because the water now shut off for many hours of the day, including the hours I was visiting.


How exactly are countries like Norway doing with their Sovereign Wealth Funds?

Does it provide its citizens with benefits?


Geez, they shouldn’t have downvoted you for expressing a positive viewpoint :/


From my understanding, these funds were already approved by the Biden Administration via the Chips act and another. Our president managed to obtain 10% of the shares for this money that was already going to intel in exchange for removing a clawback provision stipulated by the Chip’s act.

Norway has an incredible sovereign wealth fund that funds many benefits for its citizens. Perhaps if the Intel dividends are used for social security benefits, there will be bipartisan cheering.


Generally speaking, the UK government doesn’t care about it's citizens. That’s why so many left to the USA for a better life.


He’s helping make the left care about free speech again. Something they wanted to continue censoring.


Ah yes, nothing screams “free speech hero” like a guy who tried to censor the press, punish critics, and begged Twitter to silence his enemies.


You completely missed what I was saying.


This is called suppressing "disinformation" in the other circles.


I wish to highlight the pointlessness in your timing of your leftist activism. Trump cannot run for a third term due to the 22nd amendment to the constitution.

Therefore even if you found evidence that a small subset of the members held national security worse than Hillary secured her emails, (in this case, leaking a Yemen bombing attack 2 hours before it happened), there’s nothing left for voters to vote on.

The only thing far-left activists can do to change this administration is to wait 4 years for Harris, Hillary, or Bernie to run again. But they’ll need a winning platform to run on. Maybe campaigning on making America Great Again or putting America first will work better.

All this left-leaning activism is doing is helping other liberals lose even more of their sanity than they’ve already lost. One reason the democrats lost this election because they didn’t even care about their own American people, let alone other American people.


> Trump cannot run for a third term due to the 22nd amendment to the constitution

Given he started a riot to interrupt congressional proceedings and tried to insert fake electors in 2021, I don't have much hope that he won't try something in 2028.

> there’s nothing left for voters to vote on

Oh really, so MAGA will just disappear in 2028? The point is to expose the incompetence and the harm that hiring loyalists over qualified people introduces.

> Maybe campaigning on making America Great Again or putting America first will work better.

I don't think populism is a good strategy, personally. It always devolves into a "us vs them" tribalism battle, where you're going against the "elite" but the "elite" is a moving target and not set in stone. Lots of conspiracies arise and you're less effective as a bloc.

> One reason the democrats lost this election because they didn’t even care about their own American people

What specifically do you think showed that they didn't care? Incumbents lost globally due to inflation from COVID and the voter population misplacing the blame. I think Dems could have done better before the election (e.g. Joe should've dropped out sooner) but to say that they lost on policy is a bit asinine.
