LOL what actually worked? Did Putin invade Ukraine (or any other country) during Trump's time? For the record, Putin did invade Ukraine in both Obama and Biden presidency, so which POTUS is the best diplomat out of these recent three?

That's what your post is. "After this therefore because of this" (that's what the Latin phrase means). According to you, Putin didn't invade Ukraine during the Orange Buffoons 4-year reign of terror therefore Putin's non-invasion was because of the Orange Buffoon.

Using the exact same analysis, Putin didn't invade Ukraine while the Orange Buffoon was in charge because he knew that war would be costly and the Orange Buffoon would dismantle NATO and give Putin what he wanted anyway if the Orange Buffoon was re-elected.

See how that works?

[Elvis 2008]

Damn you ElhTooms! I also read the revisionist history of Glass-Steagall written by Elvis but you were faster on the draw. His "history" of the Glass-Steagall Act wasn't even close.
First of all it wasn't written by Joe Kennedy. Senator Glass was the principal author and his original bill stalled in the House in 1932. In 1933 with Representative Henry Steagall as a co-sponsor the bill passed and was signed into law by FDR. I'm positive Elvis has no idea what the purpose of Glass-Steagall was or why it was important to Depression era banking.

I have no idea where you get this shit from. Joe Kennedy wrote Glass-Steagall? Where did you come up with that? He wrote the securities laws. Gilda Radner had you pegged here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQppLas38uI.

This is only about the 100th time you have gone off on an imaginary point, and once more, you think you can read my mind. Xpartan just did the same stupid thing when he read the mind of 75 million Trump voters.

My point was that with all the Red-blue shit going on the bureaucrats are having a heyday writing up their own laws, and what do you morons do? Go right back into a red-blue conflict. Eih even lies and says the Republians had a veto proof majority and that is why Glass-Stegall was repealed which is complete BS. I wonder why you did not correct him on that? Did you not know that?

And the repeal of Glass-Stegall happened under Clinton, and he signed the bill into law. There was no veto. You all lied about that too.

What was so funny is that JustTK does not have a dog in the fight. He is more leftist than anyone of you, and even he cannot stand you dumb Dems. There is no getting to the truth with you. The collapse in 2008 was not just on Republicans or Dems but so many people, and it might be something he would be interested in discussing, but with you guys, it is just that if there were no Republicans, the recession never would have happened.

Everything good is Democrats, and everything bad is Republicans. Of course, neither you or Eih are living here anymore so why do you care so much? The only reason I see is that the government is paying you off and you think if the Republicans come into power, your gravy train may end.

Hey, Viiainy, you genius, you want to tell me where you are invested right now? You all in on Biden too? Or are you totally dependent on the government's cheese?

[EihTooms]

What do you call a bill that passed with 75% of Democrats in the House voting for it and 84% of the Democrats in the Senate voting for it and signed into law by Bill Clinton originated by Robert Rubin? Well, if you are Eih, you call it a bill passed into law by "a veto proof Republican majority".

A year before the law was passed, Citicorp, a commercial bank holding company, merged with the insurance company Travelers Group in 1998 to form the conglomerate Citigroup, a corporation combining banking, securities and insurance services under a house of brands that included Citibank, Smith Barney, Primerica, and Travelers. Because this merger was a violation of the GlassSteagall Act and the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, the Federal Reserve gave Citigroup a temporary waiver in September 1998.

Robert Rubin received more than $126 million in cash and stock during his tenure at Citigroup, up through and including Citigroup's bailout by the USA Treasury, but according to you Eih, that was just a happy coincidence.

See how it is a much better use of your time to sit and calculate what percentage of the Dem Minorities in the 1999 House and Senate voted to repeal and replace Glass-Steagall, an utterly pointless exercise but at least it keeps you out of gambling loss trouble, and then agree with me and confirm my major points than to blather nonsense about history, the political parties, the economy, the stock market and I should have included science before, as you usually do?

Uh. In 1999 the Republican Party held the Majority control in both the House and the Senate. Famously so, I would say. That means every committee in both houses of Congress was Chaired by a Repub, every bill proposed and put up for a vote done so by a Repub, etc.

Therefore, when 90%+ of the House and 90%+ of the Senate voted to repeal and replace Glass-Steagall under those circumstances in late 1999, way way more than the 66% or so necessary to make it impossible for a POTUS to veto it, well, sure enough, that meant it was done "by a veto proof Repub Majority Congress. ".

See how that works?

And I am pleased to see you further confirm how obsolete and ineffectual Glass-Stegall had become well before that 1999 vote in that its violation had not only been upheld by court ruling years prior but that also allowed for the Fed to grant a waiver to Citicorp for "violating" it at least a year before its official repeal and replacement.

Hence, that high percentage of evil Dems and saintly Repubs agreed in the Republican Majority House and Senate of late 1999 that such an obsolete and no longer effective legally or by Fed dictate law ought to be repealed and replaced by something that addresses the realities of the banking world as it existed at that time. And for the most part the ultra evil free and enthusiastic blowjob-accepting Bill Clinton agreed with them.

The only requirement was that, like Glass-Steagall and every other banking regulation law on the books, that replacement's effectiveness would be determined by how diligently a president's Treasury Department monitored and enforced the regulation.

Lo and behold, history shows evil Dem Clinton's Treasury Department monitored and enforced banking regulations extremely well. But for the next 8 years of a saintly Repub Treasury Department, not so much. Spectacularly and disastrously so. What a surprise.

Lesson number one is to not insult the other party (ies). That would include name calling. You must have been absent from school that day.

And once again, it's even worse than that.

I bet he was holding that note right in front of his face when he told a military widow that her late husband knew the risks.

LOL and your point being? Did Russia invade Ukraine or any other country during Trump's time? Stay on point please.

[Xpartan]

And this is the most alarming part cited right there in the highlighted sub headline and body of your link!

By stark contrast, the one below wasn't an alarming cue card telling a real POTUS the stage directions and speaking / entering / exiting order of things for a public meeting.

No, the one below was a perfectly reasonable cue card telling a so-called potus how to look and sound somewhat like a normal human being listening to testimonials about the mass murder of children:

Trump was actually caught holding a note from staffers reminding him to be empathetic when talking to people

"Trump had great people around him" Really? By what measure? If one measures "greatness" by the number if indictments handed down, then yes,.

Bannon, Manafort, Stone, Flynn, Papadopoulos, Gates and Cohen. All indicted. All close to the Orange Buffoon. But let's not forget the dozens of people who Donnie "I only hire the best people" the Dumbass hired, then fired and who left the administration to the tune of "he was a loser".

Of course, compared to Nixon (28 people indicted who were "close to" Nixon) and Reagan (33 people indicted), the Mango Mussolini was an angel.

But compared to Clinton (2 people indicted), Obama (0 people indicted) and Carter (0 people indicted), not so much. https://www.politifact.com/factcheck...trump-reagan-/.

But sure, keep up the falsehoods. You guys crack me up!

All were setup, by a corrupt Democratic Party, FBI CIA, and others. Manafort was a mistake and definitely a crook. I would take any of these guys over the clowns Bidden has surrounded himself. Take a look at the economy, gas prices and crime all way up, no denying it. Yes, Trump was a bad guy, but he did a good job up until.

Jan 6.

I guarantee the war would have never started or would have ended under Trump. Bidden for some stupid reason is doing everything in his powers to keep it going and doing nothing to find a solution or compromise between the 2 countries. Again, Bidden is not calling the shots. He has one foot out the door, he will powerless in 4-6 months or sooner. If liberal media is turning on him his days are numbered, thank god. He is destroying this country. Somebody needs to step in before it is too late.

Biden accidentally flashed a cue card telling him exactly where to go and what to do at a White House event.

You're right. Like I said earlier, puppeteers are calling all the shots in this joke of an administration. Sad and bad for the people.

Don't buy anything from that turd.

"Joe Biden's presidency is failing. And Americans are hurting because of it. " - Opinion by Chris Schlak, USA Today.

(https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opini...-it/ar-AAYOKw1).

Even MSM like USA Today are calling Biden a failure now. I am not even quoting the real news orgs like Fox, OAN or Newsmax.

"Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell wants to 'get back' to the Trump era of low inflation and rising wages. "

(https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...IM-TALENT.html).

So what's your vote on this? We will tally all votes on Monday June 27th.

"Donald Trump would have been a much better POTUS now than Joe Biden". - YES / NO / Not sure?

I must say I'm not impressed.

[Gino02]

Ah, that's what it was. Shrewd and intelligent. So shrewd, in fact, that no one was supposed to know exactly how shrewd and intelligent that "diplomat" (LOL) was.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world...0a8_story.html

That's before he ditched interpreters altogether.

https://thehill.com/homenews/adminis...-taker-report/

Compared to this one (Buyden) we are stuck with now until removal by impeachment, 25th amendment or forced resignation, Trump was way better diplomat. Can you deny that?

Is Trump the best ever diplomat? Nope.

Is Trump better diplomat than Buyden? Definitely.

Stay on point please.

Yes, he had a great week. Fell off a bike, sent more money to Ukraine to keep the war going and making Russia richer. The more gas prices go up the less incentive Putin has to compromise. He got what he wanted, he has the ports, I doubt he really cares about anything else. I do not think this was not his initial strategy and they were definitely losing for awhile, but this does not seem to be the case now. Putin is laughing at the states and Europe, they are definitely winning now and no end in site, of the dumb war. Great job Bidden.

Lastly, he gets in a fight with oil companies, this is the last thing he should be doing. Find a compromise and a solution, but Democrats want to fight with everyone and blame everyone for their problems.

If you subtract Trump from the polls, I would bet Bidden approval is in the teens now, not the 30's.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- With the U.S. Supreme Court expected to overturn the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision before the end of its 2021-2022 term, Americans' confidence in the court has dropped sharply over the past year and reached a new low in Gallup's nearly 50-year trend.

Gee, who would have predicted this outcome with 6 of the 9 justices appointed by a Repub so-called potus who was either kicked out of office after one horrible term, never got the most votes in a presidential election, produced among the worst results of all time or, as in the case of Trump's 3, were appointed by a so-called potus who falls into all of those categories along with being the most corrupt occupant of the White House in history.

Cue cards are common, but right-wing commentators treated this one as a serious gaffe.
