Yo

I feel bad for Burgum and #Burgumbros right now. Would probably have been better to go with him.

@ManifoldPolitics maybe worth opening a new Vice-President market?

It seems we fucked up big time. Trump wanted Doug Burgum as recently as last week. Senator Vance learned about his appointment 20 minutes before the announcement. 70% in the run-up was way way too high, but we pulled it off.

Craziest part of this market was @MarsMartian showing up in May and betting Vance up above 50% over and over again. Turns out he was right! Took me a while to sell all the no shares I bought from him but glad I finally did.

All their trades are on VP markets. They knew. Might be buddies with Barron or Jared. Probably an insider at any rate.

I would bet against you on that.

I just want to point out that already in September! I boughtṀ30 of Other, indirectly buying shares in Vance!

Trump's nomination is now official, making this only require acclamation. It's not clear if that's happened yet but there's no point in holding all your mana further

thanks for running this market pat! quite the wild ride

"I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical asshole like Nixon who wouldn't be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he's America's Hitler," he wrote privately to an associate on Facebook in 2016.

lol

Time to close it out. It's Vance.

free mana!

Truth Social:

After lengthy deliberation and thought, and considering the tremendous talents of many others, I have decided that the person best suited to assume the position of Vice President of the United States is Senator J.D. Vance of the Great State of Ohio. J.D. honorably served our Country in the Marine Corps, graduated from Ohio State University in two years, Summa Cum Laude, and is a Yale Law School Graduate, where he was Editor of The Yale Law Journal, and President of the Yale Law Veterans Association. J.D.’s book, “Hillbilly Elegy,” became a Major Best Seller and Movie, as it championed the hardworking men and women of our Country. J.D. has had a very successful business career in Technology and Finance, and now, during the Campaign, will be strongly focused on the people he fought so brilliantly for, the American Workers and Farmers in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Minnesota, and far beyond….

Lol it literally did not do that, the main premise of hillbilly elegy was that all the people he grew up around are lazy.

Calling everyone else lazy is how pull-up-by-bootstraps -people champion each other
