Since when did Progs from California give a shit about people in Alabama freaking out?

tim has always been known for his empathy towards Alabamians...it's one one his most admirable qualities.

. It would have been over if he had just apologised and let it rest.

If that were his personality Hillary would be president and there would be 2 or 3 new wars.

Tim Aurora says

His entire administration is now working to prove that Trump was right when he was wrong. This includes threatening people who are trying to do their job.

Do you REALLY believe that?

TDS is tedious.

Isn't it though...TDS sufferers are like what used to be referred to as an old nagging battle-axe. They just can't will themselves to stop and move on. It's quite amusing to observe as long as you don't have to live or interact with one.

And why are you upset over this? You want war? That's what Bolton wants(ed). Bad hire, good decision to fire. Or Trump could have just done what other politicians have in the past and just let 'em do what they want. I still don't understand the OP point and end goal.... You liked Bush? You liked getting entangled in senseless bull shit in other countries?

I'm fine with people hating Trump, it comes with the territory, but the hiring and firing of people should be applauded. You hire a dip shit, you fire them. Don't feel bad about it, move forward. You seem to insinuate that Trump should keep dead weight around like other administrations have in the past (hell, all of history). There's no logic to that point of view.

What about Guam? There certainly are terrific universities there, right?

Watch the media do a total 180 on Bolton and start treating him like a 'wise statesman' now. Just because they smell blood between him and Trump...never mind that the blood was all made up by their fellow cohorts in said media.

Fact Check: TRUE

Tim Aurora says

Hillary resigned to run for President and in fact Obama supported her presidential run.

Where's Obama's endorsement of his Vice President?

that's what safety tests are for.

Meh.

Good I'll be paid off before it kicks in.

What did they expect when they named the organizations after a stripper and a good ole boy.

So that means rates go up, prices down to compensate. Right?

They all sell to FR/FN

Definitely another great idea from Donald Trump; the US government and the American taxpayers should never be in the mortgage guarantee business.

Someone who has a clue may understand that the govt. helps you go into debt and then you must stay put and pay the property taxes and support society's needs and govt. pensions.

Lol, prehensile penis.

HEYYOU says

the enemy

Why think of Republicans as "the enemy"?

Are they not your fellow citizens? Do they have any points worth listening to?

Absolutely.

Trump really does just keep on doing the right thing. God bless the mofo.

How much prosperity, peace, and freedom from rackets will it take to get through to the "orange man bad" crowd?

The government does not belong in the loan business. When that happens loans are not given out based on the ability of the borrower to repay the loan. Instead it's given out based on who votes for whom. That's a bad way to do business.

HonkpilledMaster says

Where's Obama's endorsement of his Vice President?

Biden keeps dropping tells that he's being coached by Obama. The phrasing and his choice of words, his petty jabs. "Donald Hump... Freudian Slip!" he's borderline senile, his mind isn't fast enough nor sharp enough to shift gears like that. Had that been an actual slip up, and not written in his speech. He would have never caught it, he never catches any of his gaffes.
"Come on MAN! Come on MAN!" that's Obama's favorite stand by to diminish criticism that Obama can't intelligently debate. That's why Obama did better at town halls, doing def Comedy Jams. When he had to pull it together and address the nation like a President. He was a condescending Jack Ass to over half of the nation while he divided the country with his toxic rhetoric he always got a pass on. If you listen to Biden's message as his momentum grows. It's more and more turning into Obama's platform. Obama is coaching him, Obama has his hand on the hand that has the Emperors thumb at the DNC and Pollsters to make sure they don't give Biden a thumbs down.

Obama is Biden's corner man, every time Biden takes a beating and we think his last gaffe was his final undoing. He comes back with more channeling Obama.
Remember Obama is a petty jive bitch ass, he never does anything with transparency on the up and up. Not even endorse his patsy.

And Obama is doing all of this, not because he loves Biden's sense of leadership. Obama is slated to be his running mate. Just as Hillary is slated to be Warren's running mate.
They want their turns and they are going to ride in half dead corpses to get there.

And Obama is doing all of this, not because he loves Biden's sense of leadership. Obama is slated to be his running mate.

Obama as Biden's running mate? Is this like Putin-Medvedev taking turns?

What do the Trump haters think of Biden's wish to double the Federal Capital Gains tax to 40%?

How is that going to affect your future financial well being?

I of course didn't mention that California also has its own Capital Gains Tax.

If you hate Trump you hate yourself if you have any money.

Republican State Sen. Dan Bishop defeated Democrat Dan McCready

Republican Greg Murphy also beat Democrat Allen Thomas in a contest to succeed the late Republican Rep. Walter Jones Jr. in the state’s 3rd Congressional District.

This election was touted as a "Referendum" on Trump by the media, as they though the Dem would win. Wonder what they will say now.

Finally, now maybe he will wake the fuck up and stop asking the fed reserve to “lower rates” and instead rescind the damn charter while getting congress to abolish the bill that allowed it.

Total Bullshit but we digress from the topic. If you want to talk the ticket start a new thread and we can discuss that there.

Tim, it's a forum. Conversation ebbs and flows. A point was brought up that Obama let people go and/or they resigned. Trump has had people fired and/or resigned. What is the difference? For some reason, because it's Trump, it's a problem.

Here's the deal. I don't know you. But presumably you can run for office and hire and fire whoever you want. My suggestion is to stop complaining and you can just fix what you deem is a problem, Trump. Run for president. Whether it's left or right leaning people, bitching on Patnet ain't solving a thing in your world. You seem to have the solutions to all that is wrong with the country, go ahead and step up and fix it then.

I do find it disturbing that the Federal Reserve is not federal, and has no reserves.

It's a cabal of big banks dedicated to the proposition that no bank in the cabal should be allowed to fail no matter how irresponsibly they lend.

There's a good book on this for kids called "Creature from Jekyll Island".

Tim Aurora says

he sold his soul to the devil and hired Russia. 1. He does not get along with smart people
2. He does not know whom to hire
3. He is totally stupid and people just tire of him

Definitely impeachable offenses!.

Tim Aurora says

My goal is to get a Democrat elected and I will work on that including voice my opinion here.

Why does it need to be a democrat? I think most americans would like a great leader, irregardless of the political party.

My "pension" is my own dough invested in stock mutual funds in an IRA, Roth IRA, SEP-IRA, Variable Annuity and taxable accounts.

If you aren't investing in stocks while interest rates are low, maybe you are missing out on having a secure retirement.

Freddie would be turned back into private companies but would be required to pay taxpayers a fee for government protection. It would also open the market up to competitors for the first time.

Excellent and extremely logical.

Lets now wait and see how Media will turn this into ORANGEMANBAD. Any guesses from patnetters?

Cap gains is already double-taxation for most ordinary investors. Increasing it to 40% is insane. Fuck Biden. Here's an alternative proprosal. Abolish cap gains up to 500K, 10% 500k-1MM, 20% 1MM, 30% 2MM, 40% 5MM+.

I'm guessing he picked up some of the independents who realized the conclusion of the Mueller hoax was the moment they need to wake up and accept that there really is an industry of journalistic dishonesty aligned against him.

clambo says

I wonder if he really means this. IMO it would markedly reduce capital investment, hurting growth ... I would imagine noticeably.

Maybe it's his campaign strategy of making people think he's woke and has some "fuck the rich" gusto in him, but he doesn't plan to really do it.

Still, I don't trust that shit.

We need a Federal "Rocket Bankruptcy" procedure for failing banks, that slices and dices the assets to performing companies faster than Benihana's.

No bailouts, investors suck a dick, performing loans go to performing companies. The only way companies, in the long term, are going to do right is if the investors are freaked out over losing bigly. Not if they are assured sucker taxpayer to the rescue.

I think by turning it over towards private industry and letting market forces be more dominant, it may naturally gravitate in a direction that makes it harder for poor people to get loans / favorable terms in some cases. This might happen if it becomes less political and more objectively based.

The coincidence that poor people are more likely to be black / brown, will be invoked as usual. It may even end up overall better for poor people, but that doesn't matter - they will just zoom in and focus on some specific aspect supportive of their narrative.

Trump made change > change hurts poor > poor mostly black > raycist change
