RE: Winner Take All

I got straight A's in economics. I also got out of that curriculum fast.
Trump's business acumen is unimpressive at best. His Wharton School of Finance, stable genius, claims are as bankrupt as a lot of his businesses.

RE: Eugentics

Left out some quotes and credits. Ask me if i care.

RE: The tide begins to turn for removing Trump from office.

Moscow Mitch is desperately trying to block amendment after amendment offered by the dems to allow concealed documents and witnesses. So far the Republicans have been successful in their afforts to cover up their activities.

RE: New evidence against Trump emerging for the Senate Impeachment Trial

@ Dragoneer



Forbes, that evil bastion of liberalism has a remarkable insight into the missing trillions and the possible dangers involved!!!!

"With the change in accounting guidelines, which is a full departure from Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), only a few people with high level security clearances have the authority to determine what is deemed to be an issue of national security and these same people will now be allowed to restate financial statements in order to conceal actual expenditures without any disclosure. No one but those few people would know that such modifications were made, thus making evaluation of government financial statements impossible. From this point forward, the federal government will keep two sets of books, one modified (and useless) book for the public and one true book that is hidden.

The FASAB recommendation effectively institutionalizes opacity in federal financial reporting. Up till now, many aspects of federal finances have been non-transparent because the government has failed to comply with existing financial reporting laws. However, at least citizens had the laws working in their favor. Now citizens have no recourse; opacity is now the law of the land, controlled by executive branch authority and policy.

Accounting rules are often thought of as boring and unimportant. In this case, it’s not the case. The new FASAB ruling has enormous and highly dangerous implications for our nation. People should know about these changes so they have an opportunity to voice their concerns and reverse the decision. For investors, pension fund managers, and others who buy or hold U.S. government bonds, caveat emptor. If the government is free to lie about what it's spending, it can also lie about how much it's borrowing. And the larger its red ink, the higher the chances it will explicitly default on its debt (an idea President Trump raised) or implicitly default on its debt by printing money to pay its bills, precipitating inflation, and paying back its debt in watered-down dollars.

jack ruby was the reason i never really believed oswald acted alone.

RE: New evidence against Trump emerging for the Senate Impeachment Trial

the betting odds cited earlier had Trump at 30% and now closer to 50. Betting odds are created by the number of dollars bet on each candidate by joe public. they mean next to nothing, the odds are 50 % they are worse than nothing.

RE: McConnell Sends Pelosi Shirt Reading 'I Impeached The President And All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt

@ "They should have thought of that sooner if they were really wanted the Presidency for themselves."

A traitor has no business calling himself President- thats why he was impeached!

RE: McConnell Sends Pelosi Shirt Reading 'I Impeached The President And All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt

General Bone Spurs is a traitor. The news today proves it. Show a little respect for this country, even if you're a foreigner.

Treason and criminal acts wouldn't bother that rotten bunch.

RE: Trump taking out Soleimani is what Reagan would have done

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I couldnt say much about projection, how much its used here is kind of irrelevant- its a medical term and the important thing is to identify it when it's taking place. Nor could I comment on your persistent ignorance relative to mine since most of what you say is unintelligible.

RE: Puerile pathetic plausible deniability.....

Iran's retaliatory missile launch was an attempt to placate their enraged population.

THANK YOU GENERAL BONE SPURS !!!!!!

It was carefully planned by Iran so our troops would have prior notice and be able to take shelter.
It was carefully planned by Iran so it would miss everything !!!!!!!!

In the fog of war and imminent attack people can push the wrong button and people die.

THANK YOU GENERAL BONE SPURS !!!!!

Of course it could of been mechanical failure but increasingly doubtful.

@e

Your retort is silly, if we have an idiot or delusional nut for president we fix the problem. I predicted Trump would start a war with Iran to win reelection a few months ago. I must admit though what he has done is so idiotic its hard to say what his motives were!
