Honestly, I just got lost after the cutoff.

He's a guest on Fox Business, were you expecting coherent sentences?

When I saw his outfit, I was expecting nothing, and that's exactly what I got.

From what I've seen, it's actually true that some of the alt-right are trying to cast this in the light of this Gamestop thing being part of Trumpism's fight against the elites. It doesn't really surprise me that some of the media either get tricked into believing it since they seem to have the cultural awareness of a stereotypical Boomer, or run with it to appease WS.

I'm very much anti-Trump myself, but fully support this Gamestop 'uprising'. That both are anti-establishment is only one facet of the two movements.

Honestly, when AOC and Ted Cruz started agreeing on "fuck the hedge funds", I knew we found something we could all pretty much agree on.

The meme game on all this, is still a bit weak, but on knowyourmemes some good ones are starting to show:

It's a shame how AOC reacted to Ted Cruz's agreement.

Gotta admit it feels a little dirty holding the same opinion as Donald Trump Jr. about something. I console myself that he probably supports it because he believes the Wall Street folks are part of the leftist child eater cabal or something.

I see it as a sign that WS went waaaaaayyy too far here. That even elites like DJT Jr. hold the same opinion as the average Joe.

I think DTJ is following the trends on this one, trying to improve his image.

Remember that time Dick Cheney shot a lawyer and his approval rating went up?

This is sort of like that. Times like a thousand.

Don't be so sure that analysis is correct. Citadel and Robinhood have an incestuous relationship that the article is ignoring

If they can make it past pretrial motions and such to land in front of a jury, I don't think what the contract says actually matters that much at this point.

Sorry, but it's true. The public is so mad, it just doesn't matter.

No, it has always been part of trumps narrative that big tech and big media were in bed together against the little guy. He was not wrong.

It's a perfect strategy, because while it's not wrong, the reasons the right thought it was were

Figures.
The unclear and misleading contracts which no one reads, or hardly understand when they read it, always comes in to save the corrupt.

Good luck with the reddit dive. Bring back some memes.

Sometimes your enemy can be right. Doesn't mean they aren't still your enemy, just once in a while you have to give the devil his due.

And not just Melvin. Citadel has always had a piece of robinhood, and Robinhood often routes the trades of its customers through citadel.

Well I was reading the Wall Street journal (yes I’m an old boomer who still reads newspapers) and even in print form they’re trying to downplay this
