Posts: 1129A week of the entitled arrogant cry baby billionaire class...
What a week of cry baby billionaires, from Trump, Kevin O'Leary to Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), disgustingly claim "victimhood" as they decry, there were "no victims" in their fraudulent crimes. Bemoaning how the public has no idea, how hard it is, to defraud people and make it look like a "victimless" crime. Not to mention, how "unfair" they've all been being treated...boo-hoo!
Poodle billionaire and Trump lapdog, Kevin O'Leary, was blustering and blathering on about Trumps flagrantly and gross R/E "over-evaluation" tax dodge, seen as characterizing this criminal behavior as a victimless crime and proudly states, "...everything you've just listed off, is done by every R/E developer, everywhere on earth, in every city, this is never ever been prosecuted..."
O'Leary's billionaire arrogance, prompted Jon Stewart, to do a pretty funny comedic bit, saying:

Then, FTX founder SBF, sentenced to 25 years in prison, shows no remorse, and clings to "victimless" claims of his fraudulent crimes. Judge Lewis Kaplan, slams SBF's speech as the worst "self-incriminating" testimony he's seen in his 30 years of his judgeship. Axios: https://www.axios.com/2024/03/28/sam...rison-sentence
Yeah, the fraudulent steal of billions of dollars from tax payers and crypto customers, is ALWAYS victimless AND NEVER a fraudulent crime, in the eyes of entitled billionaire class. But the theft of a less than $30 dollar item at a Walgreens and they demand, the perp to be shot on site.

Definitely a keeper and a great article, to trotting out, for those special moments when you need to "shut up" Repubs, when they're blathering on about their so called "economic success/record."
Nice find, that perfectly mirrors, what you've been telling, so called Rebup ISG economist infidels, about the part 100 years of US economic history.
Well done!

Posts: 5483An inarguable truth that, lucky you, everyone here already knows.
LOL. This is the unavoidable and inarguable "But The Emperor is Naked" truth in direct opposition to the general poll assertions that seems to finally come up during every Great Repub Depression, Great Repub Recession, Massive Repub Jobs destruction and, as now, every Great Dem Economic Recovery, Great Dem Economic Expansion and Great Dem Jobs Creation.
But but but the Repubs' bullshit pitch that their methods of cutting or ignoring regulations and cutting taxes so everything is FREE and America will be a Deadbeat's Paradice sounds so sweet, doesn't it? LOL. Sure, poll respondents are more likely as not to fall for that bullshit even in the face of every Repub effort towards that end results in the worst economic conditions in history and NONE of the boom times.
Democrats Are Better for the US Economy.
Even those who believe that Democrats, by and large, pursue better economic policies than Republicans have a hard time explaining why the US economy performs so significantly and consistently better under Democratic presidents. But the figures speak for themselves.

Just ask Trump how that feels right about now.

Posts: 5483RealClearPolitics is demonstrably Winger-Leaning. Here is an example of it.
When I have repeatedly characterized the RealClearPolitics polling service site as "demonstrably Winger-Leaning", this is what I am referring to:
As of this writing, the RCP Poll of Polls Consensus for Trump vs Biden has Trump ahead by 1. 7 points. Yes, that is less than half of a normal +/-MoE for most polls, which means it is considered a statistical tie. But this is where it sat all weekend, giving the pundits on the Sunday political shows fodder to praise Trump's lead and slam Biden for being behind.
So where were these three latest polls from Morning Consult and You. Gov showing Biden ahead of Trump on all three of them and all three of them posted on the 538 Polling site by Sunday but none of them showing up on RCP in time to be factored into their Poll of Polls Consensus yet?
https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/
See:
Polls ending March 23,2024.
Morning Consult.
March 19-21.
Morning Consult.
March 16-19.
You. Gov.
None of those three polls made it to that RCP Poll of Polls Consensus for Trump vs Biden in time for the Sunday political programs, yet Morning Consult and You. Gov routinely appear on that RCP site. If I didn't know better, why I might conclude RCP is holding back those three polls showing Biden ahead of Trump until they can get their hands on another Rasmussen, Emerson or Harris Poll that can run in to save the day for them keeping Trump ahead of Biden for those Sunday political shows to feast on. LOL.
Meanwhile, even without those three frequently cited polls now showing Biden ahead of Trump, that slim 1. 7 point advantage for Trump over Biden would not exist without them including that Selzer Poll showing Trump up 7 points over Biden. Whatever the hell a Selzer Poll is. I had to scroll back more than 5 months to see another Selzer Poll in an RCP Trump vs Biden Consensus. So apparently they trot one of those oddball polls out of nowhere whenever their beloved fellow Winger-Leaning Rasmussen, Emerson or Harris polls are not available to save the day for them.

Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI), promptly calls it quits and resigns from the "Repub House Clown Show", and follows "the parted Red Sea", left by Rep. Joe Buck (R-CO) and will be walking out the doors, come April, 19th, 2024.
So if Gallagher, leaves on April 19th, it means, there is no special election and the Repubs can't get his seat back. Does seem like Mike Gallagher, is giving Trump and the MAGA House Repubs, the "middle figure" on his way out the door?

Anywho, what with MTG, looking to oust yet another speaker from the House, in christo-fascist Mike Johnson, the Repubs fall, into further disarray and dysfunction. And if the trend continues, it shouldn't be long before the Dems retake the House, much less Repubs garner a "cohesive" majority to pass more silly votes for "impeachment", just to please their idolater.

It was another not so puzzling instance where whatever DOJ or Congress is in session at the time it is decided a Repub should be appointed Special Council to investigate another Repub.
But, oh don't worry about any possible favoritism, downplaying or bias in that. Just to show you how fairly "Bothsider" the entire system is, they will ALSO assign a Repub to investigate any Dem suspected of wrongdoing.
Lolololol. Rigged in favor of Repubs much?
Well, anyway, try as he might not too, Repub Mueller still found and cited at least 10 criminally indictable acts committed by Trump with the qualifier that he wasn't going to indict Trump for those obvious crimes because, you know, another Repub administration DOJ once upon a time scratched out a memo in crayon that a sitting potus should not be indicted for a crime.
So he strongly suggested Congress set about its duty to Impeach him for those crimes and then let The Law proceed with indictments of him after he gets his ass put out of the White House.
That was way way way back in olden times when Team Trump and the Repub Majority Leader in the Senate understood and bluntly stated that a former potus could and should absolutely be indicted for crimes he committed as potus. Ancient history in the minds of the MAGA now, if you can call whatever they have in their skulls minds.
LOL. I remember the immediate victory lap Trump took when his Repub AG Barr lied his ass off about what the Mueller Report actually reported, basking in the glow of "he found no Collusion"! Uh. Mueller clearly stated he wasn't even looking for "collusion" exactly since there is no law against it anyway. But, of course, it was Team Trump's deep and intense collusion with Russia that made it impossible for the FBI to ignore it and avoid investigating it without being accused of utter dereliction of their duty to protect the American people from a probable Russian Asset and virulent America-hating Insurrectionist sitting right there in The Oval Office a tiny percentage of the time and at his failed golf resorts the rest of the time.
And, clearly, they were 100% on the right track about that.

Posts: 690Muller Report
Anybody here remember the Muller Report? Anybody here that actually read it, or only the fake synopsis by Trump Attorney General and Trump.
Protector at that time, William Barr, who has since denounced him? And much of the report was redacted. Yeah, Muller made weak responses to congress, but the report published was comprehensive and did NOT exonerate Trump, as Muller has said.

I hear Carlson followed up those glowing travel reviews of Putin's facade with praises for Netanyahu's "highly effective security wall", the "perfect timing" of all those numbskulls who moved from Blue states to Red states right before Red states began outlawing Sex For Pleasure and a special 4 year anniversary celebration of when Trump had totally ignored all expert dire warnings to prepare for a potential Pandemic along with the guidelines and tools to do it for at least a year as a means for him to finally create Trump's Pandemic:
Trump says 'nobody' could've predicted a pandemic like coronavirus. Here are all the times he was warned about it and refused to take action.
March 31, 2020
https://www.businessinsider.com/coro...andemic-2020-3
President Donald Trump has frequently insisted that "nobody" could have seen the coronavirus outbreak coming and that it "came out of nowhere."
The pandemic's scope and severity are unlike anything the global community has grappled with in decades.
But the president was warned urgently and repeatedly of this scenario, and his claim that it "came out of nowhere" and could not have been predicted is patently false.
US officials conducted training exercises last year simulating the exact scenario that's currently playing out, but their warnings went unheeded. Intelligence officials were also warning Trump about a pandemic as early as January, but they "couldn't get him to do anything about it."
The Trump administration declined to use an Obama-era playbook instructing federal officials on how to prepare for a pandemic.
And the president has spent the last two years slashing the government agencies responsible for handling such an outbreak.

Posts: 1129A Pair of Bidens beats Repub Full House of "useful idiots"?
It's official, the House MAGA Repubs (and resident ISG Repub conspiracists), are nothing more than Russia's "useful idiots"!
Mr. Lev Parnas, a Ukrainian American businessman, ex-insider and ex-confidence man for Trump and Giuliani, testified at the House Oversight Committee's Biden Impeachment hearings, Mar 20th, 2024, to tell the truth, about the origins of the disinformation and so called "evidence of high crimes and misdemeanors" against the Bidens.
Lev, was sent to the Ukraine, by Trump and Giuliani, to "dig up dirt" on the pretense that the Bidens were involved in "shady/corrupt" dealings with Birisma. But naturally, Mr. Parnas, came back empty handed and could find nothing, that could be substantiated as facts. But Giuliani, persisted with the pretense and used the information anyways.
He testified to the fact that Russia and Russian agents, were indeed the "root evil" cause, behind the disinformation and false evidence of impeachment, being pushed by the Repubs. And that the Repubs, knowingly pushed the disinformation to FOXY Muse, without it being verified or validated by any credible sources.
- Mr. Parnas, testifies that Trump and Giuliani, knowingly lied to Americans:
> Mr. Lev Parnas: "...I say this to you, because I love my country. From shortly after my arrest on Oct 9th, 2019 up until now, I've been trying to share irrefutable truth to you. The
American people, have been lied to by Donald Trump, Rudi Giuliani and various cohorts and individuals in gov't and media positions."
> Mr. Lev Parnas: "The only information pushed on the Biden's and Ukraine, has come from one source and one source ONLY. Russia and Russian Agents! The impeachment proceeding that brings us here now, is predicated on false information, spread by the Kremlin."
> Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD): "At what point did the [Trump/Repub] campaign to 'dig up dirt' on Biden, become a campaign to spread disinformation and lies about Biden?"
> Mr. Lev Parnas: "At some point, when we hit a few brick walls, all of a sudden, then I saw the shift, between the BLT (??) group, which included John Solomon (the media personality) and Rudi Giuliani and other Trump lawyers, to start trying to push narratives, that were never validated, [and] we had no way to validate them."
"Basically, a letter would come over from someone in the Ukraine, I'd hand it over to John Solomon. Next thing you know, he'd be on FOX TV, 2-hrs later with Sean Hannity."

Oh and yes...the answer to all the Elvis 2008, silly "Hunter Biden laptop dick pic", questions...is still TRUMP!

I don't know how shitty a so-called "businessman" would have to be to lose so much equity on what he claimed was "$10 Billion" net worth and assets ten years ago that he can't even get his hands on less than half a billion dollar mortgage loan today. LOL.
Damn. My little no brainer Southern California rental property gained some 68% over the past 10 years and that was despite Trump's Pandemic flattening the curve on appreciation for at least 2 of those years. That created tons and tons of equity I could get a mortgage loan on before I opened the door of a bank to apply for one.
And that happened while I was spending mist of my time enjoying fucking and getting blown by cute Asian girls ALLLL the way on the other side of the globe, not even wheeling and dealing fraudulent scams in the White House solely to enrich myself! LOL. What a total fuck up that Trump dude is.

So much for "the laptop 'could be' mine."
First son Hunter Biden's lawyers admitted late Wednesday that the infamous laptop that the now-52-year-old abandoned at a Delaware computer repair shop in the throes of his crack cocaine addiction does indeed belong to him.
So the laptop being Russian disinformation was the conspiracy, and you fell for it just like you fell for Russiagate.
So the dick picks, the email about Joe Biden being the big guy, Hunter fucking underage women, and his smoking crack were all real.
In fact, polls show if the public knew the truth about the laptop, Trump wins in 2020. This whole Russian disinformation thing was orchestrated by Anthony Blinken, Biden's Secretary of State. He orchestrated this lie so Biden would win.
https://nypost.com/2023/05/01/antony...r-laptop-real/
Then-candidate Joe Biden used the intelligence alumni letter to falsely claim at his second and final 2020 presidential debate with Donald Trump that The Post's reporting on his role in his family's international business dealings was a "Russian plant" and "garbage. "
"There are 50 former national intelligence folks who said that what he's accusing me of is a Russian plant," Biden said. "Five former heads of the CIA, both parties, say what he's saying is a bunch of garbage. Nobody believes it except his good friend Rudy Giuliani. "
So here you go dummy, proof the 2020 election was rigged.
And what will be your response to this? Admitting you are wrong? Saying, gosh, if Putin is really as bad as they say, why do Democrats have to lie about him so much? Outrage over the election being fixed by intelligence agencies?
Nah, it will be the same as always. Never mind. And then back to the personal insults.
