'Your brain is broken': Dave Portnoy blasts Democrats as 'scumbag liars' after President Biden pardons son Hunter



Barstool Sports owner Dave Portnoy torched Democrats and their supporters after President Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden.

Even though the Democrats and White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre consistently stated in 2024 that the president wouldn't offer a pardon to his son, Biden issued a "full and unconditional" pardon on Sunday, despite the consistent claim by Democrats that "no one is above the law."

In a social media video, Portnoy played a clip of Jean-Pierre repeatedly saying "no" to the idea of President Biden pardoning Hunter, before laying into the party and its supporters.

"What's he do? Of course, he pardons him. Of course he does. Not only that. It's for 11 years. So anything he could have possibly done in the history of time, he is pardoned for," Portnoy claimed.

While he admitted he would do the same if it were one of his family members, Portnoy said he wouldn't "lie about it."

The 47-year-old went on to say that those supporting Democrats, while still believing they're "morally superior to everybody else," have had their brains broken by the party's messaging.

"They always [say] 'yeah. Trump. Trump.' Your brain is broken! Your brain is broken! You don't get it. Because here's the thing. What the Democrats have done for, I don't know, 12 years, taken this moral high ground that 'we're the righteous party, the truth, honesty, integrity, and Trump is a threat to the markets.'"

Portnoy recalled Trump being referred to as Adolf Hitler and a Nazi despite Democrats doing "worse than anything Trump's ever done." He directly referred to the lack of a primary process by Democrats before nominating Vice President Kamala Harris in 2024.

'You're no morally better than anybody else. Stop pretending it. We see through you.'

Portnoy recently stated that DNC policy and the party's consistent lies were what inspired him to vote for Trump over Harris. Furthermore, he noted that he had been targeted by leftists since he interviewed then-President Trump in 2020.

"It's the Democrats, this engine, just lying straight to our face, pretending they're the moral, righteous authority and thinking the American people are so stupid that we don't see through it. Blow up the Democratic Party," Portnoy said.

Calling for a complete wash of the party's leadership, Portnoy called the Democrats "f***ing scumbag liars" who sit on a "throne of lies."

"You're no morally better than anybody else. Stop pretending it. We see through you," Portnoy added.

The entrepreneur said he hoped to be done with political rants for the time being and ended his monologue by begging Democrats to "just give up."

"Start over. We'll see you the next election."

GameStop, AMC shares skyrocket after Roaring Kitty returns; Dave Portnoy pumps $1 million into market



A stock trader who goes by the name Roaring Kitty returned to the limelight, sparking a market frenzy around stocks that are considered meme stocks, which are seemingly propped up by the momentum of the internet.

Keith Patrick Gill, aka Roaring Kitty, was known for starting a firestorm in the meme stock category by encouraging a short squeeze on the GameStop (GME) stock in 2021 and then disappearing from the online community.

Gill returned by posting a meme on May 12, 2024, at 8 p.m., and by the next morning, the GameStop stock prices had once again soared.

The meme in question simply showed a person playing a video game and making a motion of leaning in, which is a metaphor for taking things seriously. A nearly identical meme was posted by GameStop in February 2024 with the caption "casual to competitive" on the image.

The morning of May 13, 2024, GameStop shares opened at around $21. Within 24 hours, they nearly quadrupled to around $80.

GME wasn't the only meme stock to see resurgence either.

Movie theater AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. (AMC) saw similar gains.

AMC opened May 13 at around $3.10, then also approximately quadrupled in 24 hours to over $12.50 per share.

Both of the brands were helped not only by the circulation of the meme and the many memes to follow but by Barstool Sports owner Dave Portnoy once again injecting himself into the fray.

"You wanna get nuts [Roaring Kitty] let's get nuts!" Portnoy wrote on X. "Every time I think I'm out they pull me back in!" he added.

"Breaking news, I can't f***ing miss a f***ing 50 year storm. You wanna f***ing party, let's f***ing party," Portnoy said in his breaking news video.

The sports brand operator then announced that he was buying $500,000 worth of AMC stock and $500,000 in GameStop stock.

"You wanna know who's on this ship? I'm on this f***ing ship. Let's f***ing go!" he added.

You wanna get nuts @TheRoaringKitty let's get nuts! Every time I think I'm out they pull me back in! #GME #AMC #ddtg

Both GameStop and AMC were seen as struggling and nearly extinct franchises in 2021 until Gill gained national attention for his remarks on GameStop. The meme stocks then took on a life of their own through Reddit.

Trading was pushed to its height through the Reddit group Wall Street Bets, along with Portnoy and Gill.

Portnoy even had a very public clash with the CEO of trading app Robinhood over the company's decision to stop trading on GameStop shares.

Robinhood CEO Vladimir Tenev went head to head with Portnoy on Fox News, with Tenev saying his company supports "the little guy."

"We're all about that," he added.

"You did something and gave a huge advantage to the big guy. That is the exact opposite of helping the little guy. You killed the little guy," the Barstool Sports founder came back.

Mainstream stock advisers warned casual traders about this latest trend.

Roaring Kitty "seems to be the most likely suspect for the renewed interest [in the stocks] but I would be careful not to characterize the participants in this phenomenon as investors," Art Hogan, chief market strategist at B Riley Wealth told Reuters.

Gill, on the other hand, has seemingly done nothing but post memes and movie clips since the stocks have once again become their own unpredictable entities.
