Oh, the irony of Ironman talking about fake news killing people's minds. Does Ironman still have a mind to waste?

You are one of the few true believers here on Patnet that doesn't fully gulp down the biased left wing sources.

I'll remind for instance that the Pink panther and I forget who else recently dismissed the Breitbart articles I posted WHERE THERE WAS VIDEO ACCOMPANYING ONE AND DIRECT FULL IN CONTEXT QUOTE IN THE OTHER. Literally nothing was opinion in those articles but they were summarily dismissed as bs because it's Breitbart, which incredibly proves to be more reliable in some cases than the msm. So that's who you are dealing with on the left...many who are so msnbheehaw'ed that they refuse direct factual evidence including video recorded incidents.

That's not even addressing the plethora of recent fake left accounts that continuously spew all over Pat net with demonstrably "fake" news.

No problem, Patnetters are BRAIN DEAD.

Find an anonymous source to 'back up' the claim."

They also use "experts agree" quite a bit without ever naming the experts. You name the issue, there are nebulous experts agreeing with their hit piece.

i have never met anyone who came from these countries. the liberal freaks are wasting Trump's time and tax payers' money. i'm pretty they don't give a shit about the Muslim and they'll probably cry like bitches and "demand answers" if their friends or family get BBQ'd in the WTC buildings.

Tim Aurora says

So where is Trump's tax returns so that we can argue back

the income before trump was elected into a government office? sounds like a dumb ass argument to make.

obama became a senator in january of 2005. then, $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

President Donald Trump will personally pay for Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to visit his private residence inMar-a-Lago, Florida this weekend, the White House says. Abe and several other Japanese officials will arrive Friday for a meeting at the White House with Trump and members of his team. After the meeting in Washington, D.C., the two heads of state will travel to Florida. There were some early concerns about who would pay for what, but officials are now saying that Trumpwill personallypay for the prime ministers trip.

Why doesn't Trump pay for the wall himself?

Because people bought his book. Are you implying something nefarious there?

In January 2005, the same month he joined the Senate, he got approval from its ethics committee for a $1.9 million advance against royalties with Random House for two non-fiction books and one children’s book .... ... In the two weeks before he was inaugurated as the 44th president, Obama reworked his book deals.

sounds like using one's political influence to cash in, right?

"selling books" is one of the oldest forms of money under the table.

1. do favors while in office for criminals.
2. write some garbage books.
3. criminals set up fake online bookstores and order tons of these garbage books then burn them.
4. the perfect crime. it's both bribery and money laundering all in once.

Book Deal: the modern age laundered political bribe.

RIght. Just happened to coincidentally be very profitable for the publishers too. But he didn't get the book deals because of expectations of profit. IT was a bribe ?

Interesting fantasy life you lead. Makes sense, becasue it's not like Obama is charasmatic, or that he writes well, or that he was was well liked by a large swath of Americans.

THe truth must be that everyone watches fox news and hates Obama and love Sean Hannity and Trump. Hence the only way he could have sold so many books was by criminal enterprise.

THe also hire a lot of children in third world countries to click on you tube posts of OBamas correspondence dinner speeches too, right ?

America will be MAGA if Democrats & Republicans were punched in the face whenever they were in public.

Ironman says

Hillary contributed to THEIR campaigns.

Just $54-Billion Dollar hedgefunds HQ'd in that lovely Blue Collar Neighborhood of Greenwich, CT. And other Hedge Funds, and George Soros.

Ironman says

He paid for the majority of primary campaign, just how much do you want him to pay out of pocket?

Let's start with the wall and go from there.

Ironman says

Marcus, you missed the whole point of the thread (why am I not surprised) so I'll explain it in 2nd grade language so you understand it.... Obama used his political influence to profit and make multi-millions for himself, and no one complained about it.

No, he really didn't. He wrote two books. And they sold well. No influence.

joeyjojojunior says

Let's start with the wall and go from there.

Why?

FP says

Why?

So I don't have to pay for it? Who cares about paying for the Japanese PM's golfing outing--if he's going to pay for something, let's get real.

joeyjojojunior says

FP says

Why?

So I don't have to pay for it?

I didn't know you are a Mexican.

I paid for Air Force One & Security.
Thank you! Thank You! Now please sit down!

Oh He'll Yes.

JoeyjojoJunior=Tat?

Ironman says

Would they have sold "well" if he wasn't in politics or became President?

Tatty do you EVER read further up a thread or just jump in at the bottom? You make yourself look like a flaming idiot.

No, Ironman, it is ALWAYS you that looks like the idiot.

Dreams of my Father was written in 1995 and rereleased in 2004. In 2007, the year before he was President, Obama made $4.2MM from book sales. In 2006, he made $1MM in book sales.

Now, if you're arguing that he was well known because he was in politics then I'll agree with that. But that is NOT using influence.

FP says

I didn't know you are a Mexican.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Please stop. That was hilarious when Trump first said it--it's even funnier now.

Ironman says

It should have been obvious that I was responding to the comments I quoted. But yes, you're right, I did not see the point you were trying to make, becasue it's that stupid. Well, actually a combination of stupid and dishonest.

The proceeds of, "Of thee I sing," went to scholarships for the children of fallen U.S soldiers. As for profits from books written before that ? It's not the same. I can't believe that even you think that a single liberal was ever going to complain about "Art of the Deal" profits that occurred as a result of book sales that happened after Trump ran for president or became president.

Nice try dimbulb, but massive FAIL !

You have to admit he is audacious, hopefully Trump can wipe clean his audacious legacy.

President Donald Trump will pay

That's because Trump is turning Camp David into a Trump hotel!

Ironman says

I guess you missed this part:

Ironman says

In the two weeks before he was inaugurated as the 44th president, Obama reworked his book deals. He agreed not to publish another non-fiction book during his time in office, while signing a $500,000 advance for a young adult version of Dreams From My Father.

Nope--I saw that part. How does that imply any influence. In fact, it shows he did NOT use influence--the opposite of what you think.

Ironman says

Then there's this:

Ironman says

Over the next eight years, the Obamas made $10.8 million.

Hey Tatty, since you (and Marcus) have reading comprehension issues, here it is in pictorial form, for the simple minds:

-

Yep--the books he had already written sold well. Again--no influence.

Ironman says

The books increased sales volumes after becoming President don't matter??

Really??

If he or his people were hawking them or tweeting promotions of them, then you might almost have a point. What would you have him do ?

NAC question:

So bond yields have come down since the 80's. But when I look at a chart of NAC its been averaging 14-15. It was there in 2000. How come it doesn't have a continuous slow up curve as yields have a slow down curve?

Seeing all of the money poured into Hillary's campaign then given the results afterwards with pure all out civil disobedience being called for from the media.
It's like their theme song should be "What Lola want's Lola gets".

Here is a good movie for Air Force One

Here's a chart of NAC: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/nac?ltr=1

I bought about half of what I intended on this last correction (NAC). Not sure If I want to buy anymore or wait for a better opportunity.

Even though interest rates can't go up that much, I have a feeling there are lot of "hidden accounting "treasures" in municipal bonds. Just knowing how the city that I live in spends money scares me.
