So, life insurance?
## Speaker_1: ##
I once asked a life insurance rep about what happens if you commit suicide.
I've never had someone end a conversation so fast in my life.
## Speaker_2: ##
Usually life insurance has 1 or 2 year suicide clauses. If you pull out the insurance then commit suicide after that time it will still pay out. I don't really know if I believe you though because these salesmen don't care about the payouts. Their job is to just make the sale.
## Speaker_3: ##
But making a comment like that could jack your rates up...
True story My dad... bless his heart... has a life insurance policy on me, prior to me being in a ten day lock down mental health ward a whole slew of crazy shit... the worst being I couldn't get out of my head how I wanted to just drain an entire bottle of aspirin down my throat for days... I'm sure their are questions similar to that ... then again not truly sure...
## Speaker_4: ##
My friend's parents took out life insurance on her when she bought a motorcycle, tbh pretty funny. Also hey I hope you're doing better ya fag

There is no opioid crisis. Once you start banging smack, there is a 99+% probability that you are going to be nothing but a drain on society and the economy for the rest of your life. You don't see any fire fighters who were like "ya lol, 4 years ago I was mainlining heroin in an alley covered in my own piss". These people are all fucked, and you have to be pretty fucked up in the first place to start banging street drugs. Its basically darwinism.
Conclusion: The fentanyl cut heroin and oxy that is leading to thousands of deaths every year is not a crisis, it is a solution. Long term this is going to save hundreds of millions, perhaps billions, of dollars. These are the fuckups of society effectively culling themselves from existence. Good riddance.
Long SPY.
## Speaker_1: ##
What a fucking idiot. The opioid crisis is 100% due to overprescription of painkillers. How fucking stupid are you?
## Speaker_0: ##
I know man, it's like that time I got prescribed a bunch of oxys for a surgery. Damn near 3 weeks later I was jabbing a syringe full of heroin into my cock. Oh wait, no I wasn't. In fact I didn't even finish the oxys they are still in my medicine cabinet.
also apparently recreational heroin was never a thing, huh TIL.
## Speaker_1: ##
>About 80 percent of people who use heroin first misused prescription opioids.

## Speaker_1: ##
The hilarity of all of this is that the content creators, like Disney, HBO, AMC, et. al. will eventually all have their own stream service you have to subscribe to and the consumer will lose their collective bargaining power that is currently exercised through the much-maligned cable companies.

## Speaker_1: ##
Maybe QE3.0, new and improved...
But seriously, right or wrong I really think that's what Papa Powell is thinking about.
## Speaker_2: ##
That's basically the only other lever the fed has. My macro professor (former SF fed member) said basically what you are saying. For whatever reasons the world interest rate is much lower than the past, which restricts how high each country can raise their interest rates without chasing off international investment.
Basically everyone will need to provide tons of liquidity in the next recession.
## Speaker_3: ##
There is another lever, major theater warfare against the Chinese. If we sink or capture their whole merchant fleet and consistently bomb their factories and rail-lines, the rest of the world will have no choice but to buy our products again. Just like after WWII. If you can't out-compete them, destroy them.

I wish more new traders understood this. Many pinkies/OTCs are simply boat buying machines for scam artists who have the brains to exploit people instead of just breaking the law with fraud. Immoral? Yes. Illegal? Please.
OTC is filled with scammy shit and fly by night companies that rarely ever make it to ARCA/NASDAQ land. Traders face the risk of this sinking to zero Volume and then being stuck with 250k shares collecting dust.
When you do your DD on these, always use Google maps street view to look at their "headquarters". Usually it's a PO box inside of a strip mall, sandwiched between the Waffle Hut and Lulu's nails.
Always do a solid DD on these pieces of shit including a full dox of the owners.... And what they've owned/been "CEO" of previously. If they are legit scientists and business people that's one thing, but 10-1 they've never been heard of or they have history with previous failed OTC/pennies.
When I mean a full dox I'm talking paying the $35-50 to Intelius or another company for the full boat on these scum. Cyberstalk them. Did they go to MIT/CalTech or Goatfuck Community College of West-by-God-Virginny? Look at their Facebooks, their credit checks, their companies /LLCs owned. You will be shocked at these fuckers and how they really aren't into making super products, but instead play the long-overdue-for-regulation game of harvesting enough bagholders. You know who you bought those shares from? The company owners likely....

Man bought a ticket. Showed up early. Boarded. Was polite to everyone. United overbooks and needs 4 spots given up so some emloyees flying stand-by can be on the flight. Computer randomly selects man to give up seat and he refuses. They had offered everyone $800 credit and nobody took it. Why didn't they just keep upping the offer? They quit after going from offering $400 to $800. Eventually somebody would have accepted a high enough offer. This man was a doctor of all things. Maybe he HAD to be on that flight. Even if it was me, I would have refused. United overbooked. Let those stand-bys miss the flight. They couldn't take a later flight themselves? If not let the airline find somebody to cover their flights shifts.
## Speaker_1: ##
Apparently he "needed to see his patients in the morning."
What a dick move by United. Would hate to be their PR guy right now.
## Speaker_2: ##
Him being a doctor is irrelevant. He booked a flight. It was his flight. Just offer more money and do it to the whole plane. You'll get 4 people to leave pretty quickly.

"Certainly a rosy picture however ECIG sponsored its fast rise through a number of large acquisitions paid for primarily with toxic debt including VIP for $50 Million, FIN for $133 Million and Vapestick for $54 Million."
they buy failing brands, "increase and expand revenue," burn cash, dilute (look up how many share offerings NBEV has had this year alone), then move on.

If one WSB comment can make you reconsider your 330k position you are not the kind of person who should have 330k. Best advice is don't let anyone know you have that kind of money and you can't lose it to someone smarter than you.
## Speaker_1: ##
Agreed. I am simply taking a gamble here.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Gambling is a bet made with the expectation of a loss and the possibility of a gain. An investment is a bet made with the expectation of a gain. Ask yourself honestly, do you want to hold these options after you're in the green? I'd take whatever profit you can tomorrow.

Their platform is garbage compared to things like ThinkorSwim by TDAmeritrade. Nothing stops you from calling TD and asking for reduced trading fees, I lowered mine in the past more than 30% just from asking. Robinhood/TastyWorks is good for starting out because fees can kill a small balance, when you're decently experienced and have a good sized account you *should* switch to something with more tools to help you trade more efficiently, offer greater research, etc etc.

And I saw a different chart comparing this year to the period before the great depression and other crashes. You can cherry pick any part of a chart to match your thesis.
## Speaker_1: ##
You're right, an index price chart doesn't paint the whole picture. What in your opinion is the bear case right now that will send us into a great depression-type crash? Because I don't see any.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Corporate debt bubble is real...I don't think this will cause any kind of violent crash but if interest rates rise I don't think equity returns will be on par with what we've seen recently.
## Speaker_2: ##
Corporate debt bubble is the resounding problem in most arguments for a downturn. Then the tariffs not too far behind.
But if the last plunge taught us anything. Is that. Who the fuck cares. None of these companies are gonna fall. Too big. Is too true. They can piss and moan all day that their 1000% margins are now just single digits. But they still can get a loan. No matter what. Borrow more. We just print more. Or raise the bar for how high above earnings they’re allowed to trade. Facebook trades at 90x? Hell. Let em trade at 400x earnings. Same difference. What’s to stop it. They (S&P) need to suck it up. 10 full years of incredible gains. No raises given. No stock buybacks. Unlimited 0% free money.
Literally the easiest time in history for an established business to do business.
Let the plebs have some of it again. Alls well. Carry on.
## Walls1337bot: ##
lol thank you, I should have been more specific in what I meant - earnings are going to be much more sensitive to interest rates given the increased corporate debt burden.
>Or raise the bar for how high above earnings they’re allowed to trade
You are right, if this isn't held roughly constant then stock prices won't be as directly affected. The stock market isn't a tool for price discovery, after all, it's where you put yer money then take it out later when its bigger.

Best self driving car on the market.

It's not a self driving car, and that still doesn't justify their valuation.

## Speaker_0: ##
It took a run at the high on the 8th but failed. I think it's going to have to sink a little before taking another attempt at new highs. This is pretty much based on my own speculation. There's no reason that rail would be going up bigly other than slightly higher gas prices but I doubt they're high enough to make logistics changes in supply chains.
P/E is decent but so is Ford and look at them sucking.
Edit: CSX has no future because of self driving trucks. There's a trucker shortage now but there won't be in 5 or 10 years when we don't need truckers anymore.
## Walls1337bot: ##
The higher gas prices and higher trucker rates combined could push a lot of transit demand over to rail from trucks. I see those as immediate impact items.
The run at the high on the 8th failing is irrelevant because one ER can absolutely blow technicals out of the water. A beat will send CSX to $66 or $67 easily and a strong beat would push it past $68. Generally you can count on a really strong ER to add ~10% which would put it at $70. I'm not saying we'll get there, but the prior high isn't going to amount to anything if earnings are through the roof.
P/E is sort of irrelevant to the current quarter earnings play, but it could be meaningful if earnings are underwhelming and my bet turns into "value investing" or if I decide to average down.
Also, I have no intention of holding this long enough for self-driving trucks or self-flying trucks or self-teleporting trucks to have any impact at all.
## Speaker_0: ##
None of that matters. Grandpa just sees self driving trucks said repeatedely on Fox News over and over. As a result he sells CSX in his retirement account because he thinks it's going to die. The only thing that matters is perception. Trains are old and loud.
## Walls1337bot: ##

## Speaker_1: ##
My life is a big lame joke right now
## Speaker_2: ##
In that post you say you have a degree in English, "but I dont want to be an English teacher or a translator/interpreter", why not just make a sacrifice and take up a job as a translator/interpreter for awhile? Make some money, get back on your feet?
I dunno, seems weird, I know bad decisions and harsh consequences feel crappy and you're not going to be in the best state of mind, but giving up on life is rarely the best solution.
You say "I like logical thinking and problem solving..." so why not find a long-term solution that will allow you to keep living?
I've been in tough financial situations before too. I had a family member borrow $20,000 from me for an emergency and never pay it back, I'll never get it back, and it really screwed me up for a couple years (financially and in terms of trusting people). I could have killed myself over it, but I kept pushing forward, and eventually my financial situation improved and I was able to get over the dishonest family member.
## Speaker_3: ##
yeah i didnt want to be harsh to OP when she's planning her suicide out by details but her story has a lot of "suck it up you little brat" moments.
i get her though, life in china can be suffocating.
on a side note english teacher in china (tutors and what not) can make 6 figure USD or more - especially if you've been educated in the US.

Its because there's no liquidity. Eventually you'll want to sell it to someone else and the fact that there are not a lot of shares being traded means there aren't a lot of buyers. It seriously not that hard to understand. This is a fundamental thing not just a technical thing.
Also you should probably invest in a fund that has been around longer than a year. This thing hasn't proven any returns. Its not the FB IPO or the next FaceBook its a fucking ETF.

For Netflix content? What’ve they got worth the price? It’s almost entirely a service based around a bunch of average shows and movies at best with one or two great shows to keep people subscribed.
## Speaker_3: ##
Agreed. Netflix has few titles to justify the premium. They used to be the next big thing, then they crapped out mostly shit movies and series in an effort to become HBO before HBO becomes Netflix (as if streaming is the kind of technology that can be a moat).
Netflix will fail unless they hire people that know television. Until now, they've just thrown money hoping something sticks. Stranger Things. Anything else?
Their catalogue looks like the Walmart DVD bin of "deals."

Secondly, the folks at Walgreens aren't stupid, they've probably done their own exhaustive due diligence on RiteAid.

I don’t think socialism is the answer but why does the right pretend the minimum wage wasn’t set up to live off of. “no business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country.” -FDR
## Speaker_0: ##
Yeah back in the day when times were different. But we all have a responsibility to make our own way. The left wants to force a perfect world without earning it. I say get rid of minimum wage. Let the market dictate the wage. If you can’t find a living wage build your own business.
## Walls1337bot: ##
You’re absolutely right we do have to make our own way. The problem is companies are seeing ridiculous profits in many places where workers don’t make shit. This doesn’t personally hurt me I work for a top 3 bank in sales, I’m ok. But I’d like to see people not have to wonder if ends will meet this month. Most of the country has less than a 1000 in savings to their name not even including net wealth just what they have for an emergency. That’s a problem. We’re subsidizing corporations when we allow them to have so many workers who need food stamps and other handouts.
## Speaker_1: ##
To nitpick, if you have only $1000 in savings at age 30, then it’s likely your fault, baring extreme circumstances of course. Even if you’re making close to minimum wage, which few people do at age 30, if you’re living at your income level you can still manage to save more than that.
I think a lot of people have a spending problem, rather than a wage problem. Now of course there are exceptions, I’m not saying this is universal. But if you’re making $40k a year and complaining about not having enough savings, you probably should check your spending habits first.
## Walls1337bot: ##
I agree but minimum wage is like half of that. If you make 40k plus that’s more than enough to do ok even well if you use your money well.

The market had no cause to be green the past few days. Somehow people had convinced themselves that the tariffs were just regular Trump bluster and weren't gonna happen. Believed Cohn and Paul Ryan could somehow change Trump's mind.
## Speaker_1: ##
a booming economy and a market under it's 50 dma is enough for green. Trump has said himself that it's a negotiation tactic to make better deals with NAFTA EU and China. Sure we'll drop a few percentage points over this but if you think a recession is coming RIP
## Walls1337bot: ##
Bear markets and recessions aren't 1:1, you can have one without the other - in fact you can have a bull market in a depression (see the late 1800s - persistent unemployment but rising corporate earnings). Tariffs lead to earnings being revised downwards and can lead to a bear market.
The other point is that by their very nature, tariffs cause price increases cause inflation and necessitate the Fed hiking rates, this also makes stocks sell off.
## Speaker_2: ##
Wouldn't any example from the late 1800s be moot, given the FED wasn't around then?
## Walls1337bot: ##
What? No? What on Earth are you even implying? That the Fed tries to keep the market red in a recession and green in an expansion? O-o. Late 1800s we *did* have deflation, which the Fed exists to prevent, but we've deflation since the Fed was founded as well.
## Speaker_2: ##
I'm implying it's a different set of underlying circumstances because there was less central planning before the FED.
## Walls1337bot: ##
The Fed exists for monetary policy. They exist to maintain inflation at like 2% a year. They do not exist to keep the market green. The Fed would rather see SPY at 150 than us with Zimbabwe money - why?
Because inflation is actually good for debtors. Lenders *hate* inflation because it reduces the real value of money and makes fixed-rate debt easier to pay off. The Fed works to keep the banks afloat.

This is why military wanted to buke china in the korean war. They knew it would come down to this
You fail to understand long term strategic goals and can only comprehend short term autism
The US in WW2 cut off oil to japan to force them to attack pearl harbor to have a justification to enter the war because the average person opposed it. They disregarded the average persons opinion and clforced a situation in which theybhad to support war for the good of the country. They had the foresight to know if not dealt with the problem would inevitably come to America and be harder to deal with

Not sure that tariffs were supposed to help companies. Pretty sure they're meant to help the tax collectors.
## Speaker_1: ##
They are meant to be combative to unfair trade practices, like forced technology transfer and IP theft. Tariffs are probably the most generic tool in the bag for trade conflict.
## Walls1337bot: ##
If you don't like forced technology transfer and IP theft, don't go into Chinese market. You paid the price to enter Chinese market VOLUNTARILY, then don't whine like a bitch

Nobody volunteered for corporate espionage and state sponsored cyber attacks. Eventually these issues were going to be faced, this pain is part of the unseen cost of moving so much industry to China.
China is going to make a big pr fuss over tariffs, and accuse the us of unfair trade practices because tariffs are measurable and easily demonstrable. China's offences are less obvious and not directly measurable.
## Walls1337bot: ##

You can read my original story here: https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/8igcal/got_expelled_from_university_few_years_ago/
And my first update: https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/8n9yvu/the_chgg_gain_train_continues_up_48k_since_i_last/
**How da fak did all this get started**
I was expelled from school at age 21. I thought my life was over. I came from a high-demand immigrant family who put all their hopes on me. I lost my full ride, I lost my degree, I lost everything. I didn’t dare tell my parents and ran away from school bought a one way ticket to Silicon Valley. As a vindictive act, I thought buying a company that helps student cheat against universities would have some sort of poetic justice to it :shrug:. I am now 25 and feel on top of the world
**Why did you keep buying CHGG?**
At first, Chegg was a bitter yolo. But as I started doing more research, I realized about 2 years ago that I stumbled onto a gold mine. The company was going through a rough pivot from renting textbooks to all-digital services. Their revenue kept decreasing, but not because of decline in business, but because of switch from high rev, low margin business to low rev, high margin business. Profits kept increasing, but analysts only cared about top line and gave it a ridiculously low price target ($5-6 range). Today the digital transformation is complete and is at $30+, and top of the line rev is growing again.
**How did you build up so much position?**
I’ve built up my position using a combination of options + exercise, and straight out buying the stock. I have never sold a single share. As of today, I have effectively exited all my positions with put hedges (mostly for tax purposes). I also have a relatively high-paying job, so that helped ($105k/yr, then jumped to $135k/yr, then recently negotiated job paying $330k/yr)
**What have you been doing with your money?**
Growing up, never had much money. I’ve been slowly improving my life over the past few years, funded by margin loans made against my stocks. It’s a weird feeling that every time I come back from a trip, my investments rose way more than what I spent on the trip. I have [tasted delicious street food in Delhi, India](https://i.imgur.com/FcJuI6s.jpg), [climbed the Khazbek mountain in Georgia](https://i.imgur.com/wmyEV56.jpg), lived in a [traditional hut in Cambodia](https://i.imgur.com/H52x7X5.jpg), drove across the [desert of Oman](https://i.imgur.com/d6C8idD.jpg), got in a [car crash in Armenia](https://i.imgur.com/sXFxa0Q.jpg), saw the [beautiful architecture in the Moscow Krelim, Russia](https://i.imgur.com/k6MwvKU.jpg), watched the [beautiful night view of Baku, Azerbaijan](https://i.imgur.com/EQOMnlT.jpg), rode a horse through the [jungles of Colombia](https://i.imgur.com/wiuKtOg.jpg), climbed half way up the Himalayas and [stayed at a base camp in Manali, India](https://i.imgur.com/jon5owv.jpg), rode the [Trans-Siberian railroad across Russia](https://i.imgur.com/49C3oOI.jpg), tasted [delicious foods in Korea](https://i.imgur.com/735Hrmq.jpg), stepped in [natural salt lake in Lake Tuz, Turkey](https://i.imgur.com/BpaXX5X.jpg), rode a [bike across Vietnam](https://i.imgur.com/H3j8mfV.jpg), and as a one time materialistic splurge, [bought a race bike lol](https://i.imgur.com/DrqYZqs.jpg).

3.) made a shitload of money
4.) traveled the world and bought a racing bike
5.) exited my half million position, funding secured

Saw a meme saying modern socialist use their iPhones to uber to Starbucks to write a blog complaining about capitalism on their MacBook Pro and post said blog on social media
## Speaker_3: ##
Well that's just a catch 22. You're asking somebody to not use capitalism if they don't like it when that's the economic system they were born in. How else could they be socialists? You can't just choose not to be a consumer under capitalism
## Speaker_4: ##
If that's your true perspective you can still avoid "feeding the system" by living a more minimalistic life. Buy a bike and stop riding Uber. Buy coffee from small outfits with ethically sourced products instead of a massive multinational like Starbucks. Use somebody's cheap used laptop that still works just fine instead of buying the newest MacBook pro.
You can't completely take yourself out of the system but you don't have to buy into the culture any more than is necessary.
## Walls1337bot: ##
The whole point of modern socialism is to live a capitalist lifestyle while feeling vaguely superior to people who believe in things like merit.

Why does shit like this happen? Why do companies beat earnings and then the next day go to shit? Is it a good idea to buy it right after it goes down and wait for it to go back up again? I'm pretty sure I've seen a thread of some guy who did that on here I think and had killer gains but I don't remember.
Edit: tfw you’re not shitposting and you actually don’t know anything and tying to learn and get upvoted ROFL.
## Speaker_1: ##
Sometimes everyone expects a slight beat, so anything that doesn't clobber the expectation is going to be a letdown.
What doesn't help is what seems to be an overall bearish spirit the past few days because of bonds and a strong likelihood of a hawkish Fed outlook. Stocks may start losing some of the premium they've enjoyed from the last decade of cheap lending and money. The fundamentals for companies you believe in will still be there.

If there is one thing I could have every fucker in the subreddit understand it would be this. We've had the best holiday season in a decade and great earnings in every industry with company after company beating earnings estimates. What the fuck did people expect to happen?
## Speaker_0: ##
I’m missing experience for the past 17~ so I don’t know anything besides great earnings. I’m going into the market raw but I wanna learn a lot.
## Walls1337bot: ##
If you want to learn WSB is not the place to do it, friend.

So do they end up with the same income yearly?
## Speaker_1: ##
Amazon said this would be an overall increase with the extras replaced by cash.
## Speaker_2: ##
Of course they said that. But bonuses were paid to better workers. So over all that may be true, but the hard workers are once again subsidizing the leaches. Socialism 101.
## Speaker_3: ##
Unemployed, collecting welfare benefits: leach
Employed, working grueling shifts in a fulfillment center so Amazon customers can get their toilet paper delivered a day earlier, finally earning a decent wage, but not as a efficiently as a senior member: leach
sounds great!
## Speaker_4: ##
Having wealth to invest so not doing any real work a day of their life: somehow not a leach
## Walls1337bot: ##
The whole world is topsy turvy right now.

JNUG was $4k a share in 2013 BUYBUYBUY
## Speaker_0: ##
Seriously? Holy shit that's so sick lol what the fuck happened
## Walls1337bot: ##
Plz tell me you're not being serious. If you are, may I recommended browsing r/stocks or r/investing before coming back here and having your asshole torn apart by asking such a question.
## Speaker_0: ##
ik but im prepared
better than googling
## Walls1337bot: ##
JNUG is a leveraged ETF. The price of leveraged ETFs by nature decays over time. When the price gets low enough they preform a reverse split (if you don't know what that means I don't know what to tell you). This causes the price to look artificially inflated when looking back over time. See $DRYS 5 year chart.
That's the basics of it.

Don’t let Bernie Sanders see this he is gonna be so pist
## Speaker_1: ##
Bro I hate it when my fellow liberals attack Jeffy B, Zuckdawg, Musk, and Kylie Jenner.
## Speaker_2: ##
Yeah, I just kinda hate when my fellow liberals just blindly attack the rich in general. I'm a liberal Democrat who voted for bernie, and all these " oh this CEO gets paid too much" things piss me off to no end. What they get paid doesn't matter, it's what they pay people under them that does.
Don't punish success, just make sure it's not built on people's backs.
## Speaker_3: ##
I mean, they wouldn’t be getting paid as much if they were paying employees more in the first place. Your argument doesn’t make much sense in that way. But I get what you mean.
## Speaker_4: ##
Are you retarded?
It's not like CEOs make 100% of profit and it's not like the board has the choice between paying the CEO or spreading that money out among everyone else.
CEOs can continue to make what they make *and* entry-level employees can get paid more. They are not diametrically opposed ideas.
## Speaker_5: ##
Literally this. Ask consumers if they will pay a little more for their products so that employees will get a living wage. CEO wage won't have a real impact, but $.20 on every delivery will.
But noooope, we go for the lowest price regardless. That's not the only reason, but it's relevant
## Speaker_6: ##
If I knew it’d actually help the common man, sure. I’d pay it.
## Walls1337bot: ##
no you wont. hence why you probably have china made shirts and simple manufactured goods despite the fact that more expensive "western" goods are available. you're willfully lying.

The FEDs have been always threatening interest rate increases for the last few years. They’re actually doing it now.
## Speaker_1: ##
Funny how the rates haven’t been this high since the last republican president. The FED has an agenda, and no oversight. We need to audit them and shut it down
## Walls1337bot: ##
Does EVERYTHING have to be a conspiracy?
## Speaker_1: ##
It’s no longer a conspiracy when they write [OP Ed’s](https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/a22998786/anonymous-trump-white-house-op-ed-new-york-times/) saying there’s people all throughout the government “Resisting the trump agenda” and they are blocking everything he does from unelected positions by their own admission.

## Walls1337bot: ##
How do you feel about Hillary Clinton and Benghazi?
## Speaker_3: ##
We found out she was using an illegal server to run her pay for play scandal to sell American foreign policy influence and shows what a corrupt bitch she was and how big a bullet we dodged. I think it was worth every penny.
How do you feel about my response?
## Speaker_4: ##
> to sell American foreign policy influence
You mean just like Trump? Then you might as well voted for her....
## Speaker_3: ##
Where's your evidence?
## Walls1337bot: ##
Mostly, being compiled by Robert Mueller.
## Speaker_5: ##
For an entire year with nothing found?
## Walls1337bot: ##
Ummm, the special prosecutor has only been in place for a few months, and I believe we've seen them find a lot.
Also- how often do you know of that the FBI talks about their evidence in the middle of a case?
You're a true fucking idiot.
