And how is Trump involved in drone strikes the Iranians were behind?

READ THE LINK

Read the comment. He was addressing the quote from the article AF posted.

After reading the article, you can't help but just skip this line I suppose:

Are the people behind these trades incredibly lucky, or do they have access to information that other people don’t have about, say, Trump’s or Beijing’s latest thinking on the trade war or any other of a number of ways that Trump is able to move the markets through his tweeting or slips of the tongue?

Or this line:

One longtime CME trader who has been watching with disgust says he’s never seen anything quite like these trades, not at least since al-Qaida cashed in before initiating the September 11 attacks.

But hey, it could only be Trump that's involved. He IS "insider" trading. Never foreign manipulation, never... Is it illegal for a sitting President to talk about non-classified things with the public or other private citizens with regards to what is going on? They can investigate all they want and he WILL know someone involved in these trades. If you think there's something, I'm afraid you're massively mistaken.

The impeachment inquiry is going into the basement of the House of Reps. Why? Because it's dead and they know it. So what do they do? Stick their hand back in the toilet and grab more shit with this story. People need to wake up. You're nuts if you trust the entrenched political class. You used to hate them likely and now what they're doing is golden. Makes no sense.

Okay, so just checking. Still no actual evidence of insider trading? Yep. Okay thanks.

I always rely on vanityfair for financial news

Lol. The headline is from the CME trader saying he thinks something fishy is going on. And the the author (or Vanityfair editors) places the blame on Trump. I would equally shoot this piece down if it was written about Obama. It's trash.

I wonder how actual, true journalistic pieces are manipulated by editors and headline writers? If there are any real journalist left, it has got to be tough as you know your work is going to be shredded to fit a narrative. You then sit there, WTF? That's not at all what I wrote.

Yes, some of the "news" articles have so many holes they would not even be good editorials.

TDS

If Trump is re-elected, I am going to drown myself in Pol Roger and Bollinger hopefully with female company.

He will get revenge on the assholes in the Obama administration who spied on him during the 2016 campaign.

He will get another supreme court justice in there when Ruth shuffles off her mortal coil or strokes out.

The stock market will continue to rock and make us investors more $$.

I'll believe it when I plug the thing in and it works as advertised

There is nothing to plug in: it's a chemical non-rechargeable battery, like your average AA or D cell. When it's flat - you throw it away and buy a new one.

Don't hold your breath. Why complicate matters and try to power a car with them.........power a few dozen houses first......should be a lot easier......no size or weight restrictions..

Yah powering a house with this would be at cross purposes. You want a rechargeable battery for that. This would be best for mobile applications like drones or aircraft or automobiles.

You don't have much faith in engineers, models, or predictions do you?

OccasionalCortex says

Most people are not thinking ahead. Specifically, I refer to what will happen if Trump wins re-election.

To fair, the tech writers of 8 years ago were certain of self driving cars and air taxis in common use by now.

Oh, that's marketing. Predicting the future is hard. Predicting the energy capacity of a battery, that's just chemistry and a lookup table.

Why not run your microwave at home off a bank of Duracell D batteries? Or a table lamp off a dry cell? It’s a one-use sort of thing.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/10/22/then-now-how-republicans-downplay-subpoenas-when-they-target-trump/

There have been no subpoenas. Congress has no judicial authority (that should be pretty obvious) without having to vote on an impeachment inquiry. Pelosi refuses to do that knowing that it will fail, which is why Trump asked her to do it on Twitter. Once the inquiry fails, it ends this impeachment circus.

These "subpoenas" have no legal authority, all of congress knows this being filled with fuckbag lawyers and they just think you're too ignorant to understand their bullshit made up profession of dumb fucking rules and they also know the media will just lie to you.

Now, if these were subpoenas, the people that ignored them can be arrested. Notice they haven't been arrested. I'm tired of having all these people try to make the entire country believe we live in the land of make believe. All this impeachment "hearing" is, is distraction.

Let's all take a deep breath here. Without the tv makeup her face could be mistaken for a waxing gibbious moon.

Holy shit, I think I am in love with Tulsi once again.

Shes mine, dick

It's not an official impeachment, there is zero legitimacy to anything the Democrats are doing.

Unapproved entry of this building is a guaranteed 10 years in federal prison for any normal citizen.

Dude, our last president bombed 7 nations over 8 years, brought back slavery to Libya and created the entire refugee crisis you see in Europe today.

The president before that violated the Geneva conventions the US forced the Axis powers to sign after WWII, and murdered between 100,000 and 1,000,000 Iraqis blatantly lying about why as you can see in the Downing Street Memos.

But NOW you're MAD. Haha. Way to take a moral stance, you courageous American you! Let's uphold this bullshit regime of fucking criminals and stick with decorum!!!

richwicks says

Yah I’m super over it. As is the grand majority of the country.

if dry cell batteries were a new invention, Yes I'd test them out in a controlled situation such as a lamp...instead of waiting to install them in a motorized car where there are too many variables...But that's just me and I'm not highly educated. Today, I'd prove how good my new batteries were by comparison testing them against the best battery that exists now (of equal size) WITH A SIMPLE LAMP and prove that they lasted 5X longer.....But again, That's just how I think. I'm sure it makes no sense...

Those dudes got my vote!

I support Direct Action Alinsky Tactics to put pressure on and Question Authority.

George Will and Mitt Romney are weaksauce. Slap back! Love these guys.

Let the House try to Censure them, they're mostly in safe seats - but many Dems voting on it aren't.

What the hell is wrong with you Jazz?

komputodo says

again, That's just how I think. I'm sure it makes no sense...

I’m not hating on you. Makes fine sense to someone who has to prove tech to themselves.

If it was Code Pink breaking into SCIF in the W years, he'd be saying any prosecution of them would be Fascist Evil Bushhitler Chimp behavior.

But a bunch of Congressmen angered at the way Schifty set up the Inquiry and is holding the "Evidence" hostage and demonstrating, is very Orange Man Bad.

That's a loaded question lol.

Glad they are finally showing some courage.

Every battery story that gives as its reason for why the technology isn’t adopted yet the excuse of “big auto manufacturers are blocking it” is automatically bullshit.

I’d love to be proven wrong one day but if this battery is as wonderful as claimed, there’s plenty of investors that would gladly give him billions of dollars to develop it and bring it to market.

jazz_music says

These 30 House Republicans blatantly violated House rules and Federal law. By breaking into a closed-door hearing, they should be Censured for their actions.

Bringing recording equipment (cellphones) into a secured (SCIF) room was a direct violation of security protocols and displayed such a gross misconduct that Every. Single. One. should be expelled from Congress following their Censure."

Gaetz is a repeat offender and should DEFINITELY be expelled from Congress

YOU JUST CAN'T MAKE THIS UP!!! Some dimwits actually protect the "Closed Door Meeting"! You know, the partisan type, in which one party decides how to impeach and "not let him tailor his testimony", and to which the other (or the public) is not invited!

Hey, Jazz. You didn't bother to specify: What House rules did House republicans violate by "breaking"? Did you just not bother (possible), or did you make it up (more likely)?

At this point, I would imagine that 'Ukranian Witnesses' are available en masse for the right price to deliver the right message. After all, it is just another profit center.

Seeing is believing does not apply to tech according to quigley...When a claim is made about a new invention, It should be believed without question. All the stories we have heard about magical inventions that never panned out were anomalies...this one is unquestionably true....and besides, it's not cool to question the narrative...At the very least, it's rude.
