yeah, hoping that it will come back in favor again...coal just has no hype or hipness factor going

Apo, you're wrong.

Sikhs are not dedicated to the extermination of Islam.

It's Islam which is dedicated to your extermination, and the extermination of everyone who fails to convert to Islam, or to pay the jizya ransom every year (special offer for Christians and Jews only, all others must die, no ransom allowed).

Read the Koran and the Hadith. "Kill the unbelievers wherever you find them".

marcus says

When will CBOE retract ?

Retract what? Be specific

There remains direct evidence for Seth rich being the DNC leaker to wikileaks

The Russian hacker story was shredded in the last few days by Kim dotcom, and Brennan himself.

You have suspicious meta data....or rather it may be suspicious except its been investigated every which way possible. Still nothing

You know what hasn't been
investigated?

When will you admit you are wrong about Russia?

BTW, here is a less partisan presentation of Brennan's testimony:

"Former CIA director John Brennan said Tuesday he doesn't know whether there was collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian officials in the 2016 election, but he left office in January with "unresolved questions" about whether Russia had been successful in getting Trump campaign officials to act on its behalf "either wittingly or unwittingly."
***
"I don't know if such collusion — your words — existed," Brennan told the committee. "I don't know."

That doesn't explain very much, tbh. Too much of the MSM have become too partisan and sensationalist.

I visited the Sikh temple in Fremont with a Sikh friend years ago.

Was that the SIKH temple that the neighbors complained about because the color scheme didn't fit in with the neighborhood?

Probably. The place was very Indian, and they are not afraid of bright colors.

The turban triggered CBOE.

TwoScoopsMcGee says

The Media needs to stop mistaking Sikhs for Muslims, as several outlets, including Cosmopolitan, did the other day.

Such a tragedy.

I have no problems with Sikhs wearing their Sikh garbs, but they do look like the Taliban, even more than Muslims do. They will always be in danger.
If I was a Sikh, I would stop wearing Sikh garbs.

rando says

Sikhs are not dedicated to the extermination of Islam.

What? Then why are they letting them into the states?

Our government thought they were Muslims.

Strategist says

If I was a Sikh, I would stop wearing Sikh garbs.

Then you'd stop being a Sikh. See Patrick's post above about "5 things".

Here is the problem, the majority of Americans no longer trust their government..... THAT is the most dangerous fact anyone needs to understand.

So I made a weird trade today, took my first 2017 IRA contribution and put it into shares of BAC-L, a convertible noncumulative preferred issue.

http://www.quantumonline.com/search.cfm?tickersymbol=BAC-L&sopt=symbol

This is a weird duck because it is convertible to 20 shares of common if & when BAC hits $65 (currently around $24), and in the meantime it's paying ~6%.

I had bought some in 1Q09 at a ~50% discount to its $1000 issue value (wish I had held onto it!).

The board stopped the $18/share dividend checks in 3Q08, but restarted them in 2014.

Seems like a pretty good get-it-and-forget-it stock, if 2009 couldn't kill BAC I don't think anything can.

Guess price can't go up a lot, given the forced conversion into 20 shares of common.

But aside from the ARLP-like yield I'm getting it for the housing market hedge -- nothing I'd like more than to lose my shirt on this position, if it meant home prices were back down to 2011 levels (which is what it would take to kill BAC again, hopefully)

http://www.quantumonline.com/search.cfm?tickersymbol=WFC-L&sopt=symbol

is a similar preferred, a holdover from Wachovia's preferred issues, about the same yield.

It is rare to see a fake news event of this magnitude, perpetrated with such extreme ignorance and ineptitude, spread by people who should honestly know better but who, in the Age of Trump, simply do not care anymore. As Wall Street Journal editor Sohrab Ahmari pointed out (repeatedly, yet to no avail), the organization in question wasn’t “Ivanka’s Woman Entrepreneurs Fund” or an “Ivanka Fund” or “Ivanka’s charity,” and it wasn’t comparable to the Clinton Foundation in the slightest.

It was, rather, “a World Bank initiative that Ivanka is championing.” As NPR put it, the fund was merely “inspired” by Ivanka Trump: “While Ivanka Trump proposed the idea along with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, she is not involved with its operation.”

By all 17 spy agencies. If that is not acceptable to you, stop posting on this thread as for you, any amount of evidence will NOT convince you

That's funny, what I read in the report from these collected spy agencies is that there were correlations and maybes and no definite proof to be had! But it "looked like" it could have happened? And that's proof? There was so much lawyer speak in their report it was impossytonsay exactly what their conclusions were, and that's because the top spy bosses were being pressured to come up with the "right" conclusion: that Russia did it. So they issued this silly report of speculations with a slant toward the DNC fantasy position.

If US policy makers do not have "contacts and interactions" between themselves and the russkies, then they are derelict in their duties...
That's their fuckin job description, you moron...

Tim Aurora says

In his testimony before the House Intelligence Committee hearing Tuesday morning, former CIA director John Brennan bluntly told lawmakers that during the 2016 election, he reviewed intelligence that showed “contacts and interactions” between Russian actors and people associated with the Trump campaign

In this day and age, everybody hacks everybody.
Complete nothingburger...

That is such a ruse, Russian hacking is already proved, no need to turn over any documents

Hey! Or at least had an opportunity!

Watched Ron Paul's liberty report w julian assange. He described this as reverse pyramid intelligence (or something like that). Wherein they start with a theory at the top, then go find any corroborating coincidences, meta data, etc... to support the original theory. It is the ultimate confirmation bias. Give me the man, I'll show you the crime.

The DNC is the laughing stock of the world. Stealing primaries, fixing debates, sending undercover fake protesters, spying on the competition using non-existent FISA warrant evidence, threatening national security with this new red scare, and making up stories to cover their crimes. There are at least 5 spots in prison waiting for this crime gang, hopefully more.

Yeah they found 18! I have 18 contacts in a single fantasy football chain.

This is such an overwhelming nothingburger. The democrats have been glamoured by red scare propaganda.

People decided to fight lies with lies? The truth doesn't matter anymore? Who would have thought?

Why do Republican allow enemies & traitors in their midst?

Is that what the video was about? If it was part of an ongoing case, why didn't the PC just answer DWS in the affirmative?

Kim Dotcom, a nobody looking for some publicity

RIght, he was only the leader of the world's biggest File Sharing platform. Before Obama paid back his MPAA donors by trying to get him deported and tried in the US. it's gone so far that neoliberal NZ Politicians have gutted the formerly top notch internet freedom laws, and are looking for any technicality they can manufacture to send him to the USA.

Trump should pardon. One, because it's right and defends Internet Providers form vicious IP Trolls. Two, because he should slap the shit out of his opponents in Hollywierd.

Tim Aurora says

If we were wrong ( no prima facia evidence ), there would not be a special prosecutor appointed by a Trump appointee .

Mueller is investigating the potential of a Russia Hack. There is no prosecution.

I highly doubt Trump will take the side of people over the music/movie industry. But he does have some interest in furthering the Seth Rich controversy, so who knows.

Tim Aurora says

Reference please and that does not include his statement saying that "he cannot comment"

I did. There is no evidence. The meta-data (not evidence) was used to justify massive spying programs. https://patrick.net/1306572/2017-05-25-brennan-admits-the-dnc-russia-lie-and-trump-spying-fuck-the-dnc-at-least-5-spots-in-prison-for-this-crime-gang

Tim Aurora says

Except there is no evidence. The testimony of officials proves this over and over again

Tim Aurora says

Prima facie. Latin for "at first sight." Prima facie may be used as an adjective meaning "sufficient to establish a fact or raise a presumption unless disproved or rebutted;" e.g., prima facie evidence.

What is this prima facie evidence?

TwoScoopsMcGee says

What is this prima facie evidence?

Hearsay, rumor, speculation, and acts of wild fantasy!
At this point, little green men controlling Trump is vastly more plausible than the Russian scenario.

Brennan answered this question. It's meta-data. Phone call from this place to that place, email from this address to that address, etc...

They used this meta-data to FISA warrant everyone on their Christmas list. This is the crime they are protecting. This is why they cant let go of the Russia lie.

Tim Aurora says

Now that the special prosecutor is there, let us allow him to finish investigation, an investigation which was initiated by a Trump appointee ( Rosenstein) based on the facts presented to him.

Great. There are at least 5 spots in prison for the DNC crime gang waiting.
