Meanwhile, the Republican Party's decades long battle to outlaw sex-for-pleasure, restrict it to the purpose of procreation and, oh why not, might as well outlaw contraception, oral and anal sex along the way has finally produced a glorious victory for them thanks to your and the Repub Party's lord and savior, Donald J. Trump.

With a huge, irreplaceable assist from Moscow Mitch, of course.

It is now official; nobody is more responsible for dealing a literal death blow to a million (and counting) USA citizens, sex-for-pleasure, oral and anal sex, both of which fall in the category of "sodomy" in some penal codes and will most surely be targeted by the Pious Repub SCOTUS majority sooner or later, mongering and international travel for business, tourism and, well, mongering than your lord and savior and his slavishly devoted Repub Party.

LOL. Good one!

I see you're off your meds AGAIN.

Uncanny impersonation of Kamala Harris, better known as 'Heels Up'. Works on so many levels: the banal meaninglessness of her words; the outbreaks of inappropriate cackling at random intervals; the soulless dead fish eyes, hated by democrats and republicans alike. No wonder they're trying desperately to keep Sleepy Joe breathing.

[QUOTE=PVMonger;2714246]Where? Georgia? Where the Secretary of State (a Republican [B]who wanted the Orange buffoon to win[/B]) said (under oath) that it never happened and was BS. BS like all of Donnie the Dumbass' claims of a stolen election.

How do you milk a sheep? Tell him the election was stolen and ask him to send you money.[/QUOTE]It seems like only six months ago.

If I wrote something implying that republicans were suckers.

My words would never get posted.

Just in case anyone was silly or brainwashed enough to think Joe Biden wasn't lying when he claimed to have no idea of Hunter's dubious business dealings in Ukraine and China ("ten percent for the big guy" a voicemail from Sleepy Joe to Heroin Hunter has just been leaked showing that he was deeply involved.

Unsurprisingly, the fake news media has ignored this bombshell. Which is, of course, why they are known as fake news.

[QUOTE=Villainy;2712799]Now as to your specious claim of having shorted the market at just the right point. Seriously Elvis, do you think anyone believes you??[/QUOTE]LOL. I posted when I bought, what, and why I bought what I did. Why would anyone trust you when you are such a lazy ass you do not look that up? Better yet, why would anyone trust you when you are getting your ass handed to you?

Your portfolio is so you. You think it is so well diversified but everything you own goes down when the Fed raises rates.

Then you pull the SNL and Gilda Radner thing 5 X in your post where you go off on some trivia that I got wrong when I did not even say it. Joe Kennedy was NOT SEC chairman. WTF?

Then there is the "high quality" BS. 20% of the triple short SQQQ that I own are shorts on Apple. I would be hard pressed to name a more "high quality" company that Apple, yet Apple has tanked. Why?

Presidents campaign on a lot of things. When they get in office and they announce and implement their policies, that is when it is smart to invest or not invest alongside them. I was happy to invest in Obama's oil policies and have been happy to be short Biden's.

[QUOTE=Villainy;2712799]Of course, if he were incredibly well read on how our mortgage loan lending worked and how mortgages were sold and securitized[/QUOTE]LOL. Okay, Gilda. The insight I have is you are a birdbrain falling for the same crap as sold in 2008.

[QUOTE=Villainy;2712799]Most of these are Triple-Net lease REITs which means that typical costs are borne by the tenants and there are annual rent escalators based on increases in the CPI. [/QUOTE]You have high quality REITs just like those high quality MBS. Why don't these REITs just double the rent on all their clients and double their income and yield? You make it sound like that has no downside.

Thing with you V is I argued that shutting down the economy based on the whim of health care officials was wrong. We knew lockdowns would destroy the economy but we did not know if they would do any good with regards to saving lives. Thing is that despite objective data showing lockdowns did nothing to prevent damage from Covid, you dumb Dems still believe that they did.

And now you do not get that part of the bill racked up with all that Covid debt is due. The only difference is now there is a scorecard, and I am up 50% and you are down 20%. Your lying about the score card is not surprising. What else can you do? Admit you are wrong? LOL.

[B]Unsurprisingly, the fake news media has ignored this bombshell. Which is, of course, why they are known as fake news.[/B][/QUOTE]Or perhaps the news media evaluated these claims from "Sky News Australia" and found them lacking in substance.

Your youtube piece is from Sky News Australia which is owned by News Corp. Rupert Murdoch has 39% voting power over this corporation and they also own and operate Fox News. I'm sure you weren't aware but all of News Corp's media subsidiaries would be classified as ultra-conservative and journalistic integrity is not their hallmark.

If you really wanted to look at corruption you might ask why Donald Trump never divested his business interests while he was in office as required by the Emoluments Clauses.

[URL]https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/R/R45992[/URL]

Or how the Trump children sponsored charity fund raisers at their Trump Organization properties and charged a exorbitant percentage of the donations as "fees". Or how Trump directed that many international meetings were held at Mar-a-Lago charging excessive fees for guests and for Trump and his required Secret Service detail. (This falls under the Emoluments clause). I could go on and on and on.

If the Bidens are / have been corrupt, well then buddy, they are Bush league compared to the Trump crime family.

How dare he not cover up Biden's lies?

[QUOTE=Villainy;2714451]If you really wanted to look at corruption you might ask why Donald Trump never divested his business interests while he was in office as required by the Emoluments Clauses.[/QUOTE]So Biden's lying is nothing compared to what Trump did?

[QUOTE=Villainy;2714451]Or how the Trump children sponsored charity fund raisers at their Trump Organization properties and charged a exorbitant percentage of the donations as "fees".[/QUOTE]So now the problem with Biden lying is Murdoch, Trump, and Trump's children. The problem with you V is you have not found a way to add in Putin and Hitler.

[QUOTE=Villainy;2714451]If the Bidens are / have been corrupt, well then buddy, they are Bush league compared to the Trump crime family.[/QUOTE]If? Thing with the Bidens is you do not have to prove anything. You just let the Bidens do the talking. Hell, Hunter's own laptop was chock full of dirt that the Trump children would have been crucified over.

Not that it matters, but the last I checked Trump was not president but you Dems cannot quit him. Where would you all be without blaming Trump for all your ills?

California has no shortage of wealthy people happy to live there and pay taxes. Obviously, the revenue and record budget surpluses reflect this. It is a GOOD THING to have budget surpluses available to cover costs and keep the economy growing even during "rainy day" eras of inevitable Great Repub Recessions.

Yes, I realize a classic Hoover / Reagan / Bush / Trump Repub like you sees a surplus as an excuse to give the poor put upon wealthiest "a refund" so they can become even wealthier at the expense of everyone else. But when the next Great Repub Crash, Recession and Massive Jobs Destruction follows hot on that move's heels as it always does, there will be no money in the till for that very rainy day and then it will require huge deficit spending government intervention to pull us out of it, triggering the usual inflation issues and on and on.

Which is a pattern you classic Repubs apparently love to repeat over and over and over again.

[QUOTE=Villainy;2714451]Or perhaps the news media evaluated these claims from "Sky News Australia" and found them lacking in substance.
[/QUOTE]They are not "claims". It is a verified voice message from Sleepy Joe to Heroin Hunter. It proves that he was deeply involved with Hunter's dubious business deals ("10% for the big guy") and that he lied when he stated that he knew nothing about them.

We have prima facie evidence, from his own mouth, that the sitting president lied about a serious, potentially criminal matter. And yet most of the mainstream media is refusing even to mention it. Why?

Because they are fake news.

Deficits only matter when a Democrat is in the White-House. But when a Republican is in tenancy, and tax breaks are contemplated. Well then, deficits [B]don't[/B] matter. I think the Greeks had a word for that. Hypocrisy.
