  2. What??? If you fail on two fifths of the projects I give you, you're fired. That's not being a winner, it's being shit at your job. He is thinking of the trump business style. You incorporate each business separately. Solicit funds from banks, shareholders and bondholders. Through incompetence and sweetheart insider management contracts, bleed the business dry. Declare bankruptcy. Move on. When domestic funding, national shareholder interest, walks away because of your track record. You go to Russia, where money laundering, oligarchs moving money outside state control and gangsters. Supply funding, aka Kushner companies, trump enterprises. Is Donald Trump’s Dark Russian Secret Hiding in Deutsche Bank’s Vaults? http://www.newsweek.com/2017/12/29/donald-trump-russia-secret-deutsche-bank-753780.html In November 2008, Steven Molo, an attorney for Deutsche Bank, wrote a letter to the Supreme Court of New York about one of the company’s most troublesome clients. At issue was $640 million that client had borrowed in 2005 to fund construction of a new hotel in Chicago. The client had personally guaranteed the loan, but a few years later, the Great Recession devastated the economy, and he defaulted on his payment, with $330 million outstanding. Deutsche was seeking an immediate $40 million from the client, plus interest, legal fees and costs.... The debtor in question: Donald Trump, the future president of the United States.... As a result of these maneuvers, by the mid-2000s, U.S. financial institutions had stopped lending to Trump for his building projects. Deutsche was the only one still willing to work with him. After Trump burned the bank, Deutsche shunned him as well. But Trump soon found a creative way to get off its blacklist—and return to solvency.... Over the next few years, the money kept rolling in for Trump. He took out two mortgages against a resort in Miami and a $170 million loan to finish his hotel in Washington, D.C. According to Bloomberg, by the time Trump was elected president of the United States in November 2016, he owed Deutsche around $300 million, an unprecedented debt for an incoming president. (His June financial disclosure showed he owes the bank $130 million, which is due in full in 2024.) The loans to Trump weren’t the only abnormal behavior at Deutsche. Around the same time he received his new line of credit, the bank was laundering money, according to the New York State Department of Financial Services (DFS). Russian money. Billions of dollars that flowed from Moscow to London, then from London to New York—part of a scheme for which European and American regulators eventually punished the bank." The rest of the story will be told by a Mueller indictment. Coming soon in a US courtroom.
  3. That is a really good point! I have asked a couple of people here if they want AR15's banned are they going after these too? https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=browning+bar+hunting+rifles&qpvt=browning+bar+hunting+rifles&FORM=IGRE No answer as of yet. They function EXACTLY the same! WRONG, as usual. Browning has attempted to morph a sporting gun into an assault weapon. Now has a 10 round detachable magazine, pistol grip. Thanks for pointing that out. Next step will be 30-50 round detachable mags and bump stocks. Clearly needs banning.
  4. I agree and in addition, the teachers should be instructed in small arms and should carry concealed. Children today are not stupid. Furthermore everyone knows you don't bring a sidearm to a rifle-fight! If the mentally ill children are untreated because tax breaks are necessary for Wall Street and billionaires. Then bring AR-15's to schools the teachers will be outgunned. Just like the battle law enforcement went through a couple years ago to get Ar-15's and M-4's in the squad car. Teachers need proper equipment. Start them out right with a proper level lV helmet, Esapi body armor and Ar-15's.We can't let teachers be outgunned in America. Even Breitbart knows your argument lacks attention to the specific needs of teachers. Especially as the republicans are set to pass new national reciprocity concealed carry: Congress is moving forward with its new “guns everywhere” proposal https://www.salon.com/2018/02/13/congress-is-moving-forward-with-its-new-guns-everywhere-proposal/ Below the Breitbart story: http://www.breitbart.com/texas/2017/08/05/anti-gun-texas-professor-wears-body-armor-class-protest-campus-carry/
  5. It looks like it is all over but the wiping. No collusion on President Trump's part. The bad guys have been identified, but they will never see a court room over here. With the school tragedy it is not even top of the fold news. Rosenstein has made it clear several times that the "No Americans" is specifically about the indictments towards the 13 Russians and the company, not about the overall investigations. On target and here is two more stories on how the Russian employees of the Internet Research Agency operated. How trump was the beneficiary and HRC the target. " Russia allegedly had 80 full-time employees specifically dedicated to its “translator project,” an effort to flood YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, and more with pro-Trump, anti-Clinton propaganda. The program’s $1.25-million-a-month budget apparently included incentive bonuses, just shy of naming an Employee of the Month." For Russia, Unraveling US Democracy Was Just Another Day Job https://www.wired.com/story/mueller-indictment-internet-research-agency/ A Blockbuster Indictment Details Russia's Attack on US Democracy https://www.wired.com/story/mueller-indictment-russia-attack-us-democracy/
  6. While employee after former employee, testifies about everything they know about you. While his former campaign aide, Rick Gates negotiates testifying for the prosecution. in order to abate his own charges. While the forensic accountants examine every Deutsche Bank transaction of the whole family. trump grows more desperate, more paranoid, resulting in an explosion of wild tweets this weekend. Blaming the Russia probe as the reason for 17 dead children. "Very sad that the FBI missed all of the many signals sent out by the Florida school shooter. This is not acceptable. They are spending too much time trying to prove Russian collusion with the Trump campaign - there is no collusion. Get back to the basics and make us all proud!" Denying everything he has stated before about Russian meddling. "I never said Russia did not meddle in the election, I said “it may be Russia, or China or another country or group, or it may be a 400 pound genius sitting in bed and playing with his computer.” The Russian “hoax” was that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia - it never did!" 4:33 AM - 18 Feb 2018 At 4:33 in the morning. "This might explain why a new poll by USA Today and MediaEthics found Americans split 42 percent to 42 percent over whether Mr. Trump should be removed from office through impeachment. Now, take a moment to digest that bit of information. It’s not even the president’s worst numbers. A similar survey by Public Policy Polling in June pegged the impeach-the-president support at 47 percent. Americans didn’t support the Bill Clinton impeachment in the midst of the Monica Lewinsky scandal with that kind of enthusiasm; an October 1998 Gallup poll pegged the public’s pro-impeachment sentiment at 34 percent, yet the House Judiciary Committee approved articles of impeachment just two months later. The only modern president to record worse numbers than Mr. Trump on the impeachment question? Richard M. Nixon." http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/opinion/editorial/bs-ed-0726-trump-sessions-20170725-story.html All of this during a week when another porn star story came out. While Evangelical Christians doubled down on support, praise for trump and the Lord. His wife Ivanka? "First lady Melania Trump eschewed the traditional South Lawn couple's walk to Marine One on Friday amid another adultery allegation scandal, opting instead to drive separately ahead of President Donald Trump. "With her schedule it was easier to meet him on the plane," Stephanie Grisham, the first lady's communications director, said in a statement. https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/16/politics/melania-trump-affair-scandal-white-house/index.html Only a trumpeets or Fox news viewer believes that leaving early to drive to Andrews air force base. Instead of flying direct via Marine One helicopter is "easier".
  7. The Fox News Channel: Full Time Enablers Of Donald Trump https://www.redstate.com/jaycaruso/2016/03/16/fox-news-channel-donald-trump-enablers/ RedState is an American conservative political blog. It functions as an opinion based discussion forum and group blog for a variety of conservative activists. Annually, it organizes RedState gatherings for grassroots political activism which feature many prominent public figures in conservative politics.[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RedState Fox News is a Threat to Democracy https://ipolitics.ca/article/fox-news-threat-democracy/ Robert Mueller And Company Should Be Locked Up, Fox News Host Jeanine Pirro Says http://www.newsweek.com/robert-mueller-and-company-should-be-locked-fox-news-host-jeanine-pirro-says-743722 A Fox News host has suggested the FBI and Department of Justice should undergo a “cleansing” that would see special counsel Robert Mueller and a number of other staffers “locked up.” Jeanine Pirro said there was corruption in the department and bureau that necessitated investigation, blaming Mueller, former FBI Director James Comey and other figures for what she described as “the stench coming out of the Justice Department and the FBI.” So Fox has instituted a new boogeyman to replace HRC as the target of hatred and as someone who should be "locked up". Soon trump, Fox, and supporters here will be chanting "lock them up". Referring to Mueller and other senior FBI officials. All as the investigation gets closer and closer to trump. As trump becomes more and more erratic. As the noose of indictments gets closer and closer.
  8. No payment is needed for you to embarrass yourself here. Perhaps you will get a software upgrade to improve English comprehension.
  9. Straight out of the Saint Petersburg troll farm. Does the picture attached look familiar for some here? We analyzed 17 months of Fox & Friends transcripts. It’s far weirder than state-run media. How the Fox morning show evolved into Donald Trump’s posse. "What we found is that Fox & Friends has a symbiotic relationship with Trump that is far weirder and more interesting than state media. Instead of talking for Trump, they are talking to him. The regular hosts — Steve Doocy, Brian Kilmeade, and Ainsley Earhardt — and their rotating cast of guests increasingly view their role as giving advice to the president. They prognosticate on what the president, his staff, or his party should do. And it’s all couched in language that makes it seem they are on his side — that the damning news reports from mainstream media were unfair obstacles to his presidency." https://www.vox.com/2017/8/7/16083122/breakfast-club-fox-and-friends Russia’s troll factory also paid for 100 activists in the US https://qz.com/1104195/russian-political-hacking-the-internet-research-agency-troll-farm-by-the-numbers/
  10. That says "after the election" Rush. I'm pretty sure if you check my posts you'd see I already didn't like Trump before the election. How do you feel about being manipulated by the Russians in the build up to actually casting your votes in the primaries and election - y'know, when it actually makes a difference? Quit bothering him while he's reading his Russian-trump dictionary, ...er ...Fox news talking points. Or dreaming about the Russian disclosures of "pee tape" "The dossier said that Trump reportedly asked the prostitutes to urinate on a hotel bed once slept on by President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama. Moreover, Russia’s FSB security agency was said to be in possession of a videotape of the incident — the so-called “pee tape” — which could give the Russian government leverage over Trump, according to Vox. News organizations haven’t been able to verify the hotel room incident or the existence of the “pee tape,” and the story has generally been relegated to the realm of late-night TV show jokes. On Trumpcast, Weisberg didn’t suggest that Trump’s alleged affair with Clifford or his reported encounters with other porn stars that 2006 weekend prove there was a Moscow hotel incident. But it shows that Trump was capable of the kind of behavior alleged in the dossier, he said. “When the dossier first came out, one of the claims from Trump and his people is that this story about him consorting with prostitutes at the Ritz-Carlton (in Moscow) was ridiculous because Trump didn’t do that kind of stuff,” Weisberg said. But with regard to the porn star allegations, Weisberg said, “We’re up to four people who’ve had involvement in the porn industry who have alleged relationships with him.” With Clifford, Trump pursued a threesome, according to recent reports, which also say he also pursued hookups with several other porn stars that weekend. Wicked Pictures, an adult-film studio, sent several of its stars to schmooze with celebrities participating in the annual American Century Celebrity Golf Championship. One of the other porn stars was Jessica Drake. Just before the 2016 election, Drake came forward as one of nearly two dozen women to accuse Trump of sexual misconduct." https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/01/17/donald-trumps-alleged-porn-star-dalliances-in-lake-tahoe-and-the-steele-dossier/
  11. Fixed it for you.... Thats sort of right. Typically an indictment would arise from the reasonable ascertainment of facts that would be proven at trial. They may, or may not, have all kinds of evidence of... wait... collusion!! Just not be certain of proving it YET.
  12. Looks like the screws continue to tighten: https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/15/politics/rick-gates-plea-deal-mueller-russia-investigation/index.html Jerry Baumchen I predict more tweets and increased efforts by Fox news, trumpetts, etc. in the next week, to deflect, distract and conceal.
  13. You did not answer the question regarding the Brownings. I also used to have a 1911. A stainless commander with custom checkered frontstrap, checkered front trigger guard, upgraded adjustable sights and trigger group. It was the project gun for a gunsmith at the Colorado School of Trades gunsmiths course. I sold it for $1250 over 25 years ago. I've shot tens of thousands of rounds from full auto, ar-15's, on up. I bought my first rock chucker when i was 16, my first Dillon 550 in 1977 and a dillon 650 is among several that I still have. So I'm a little familiar with how guns work. In order to prevent mass homicides like school shootings the ability to rechamber rounds semi-automatically, or automatically. Needs to be banned. The exception would be guides, anyone hunting dangerous game, i.e. grizzly,brown bears, etc. and hunters going to Africa to hunt dangerous game. The BAR(browning), in your link uses a hinged foreplate to retain the detachable magazine. Its slow to reinsert new magazines. To accommodate the aforementioned law. The BAR would therefor become the BR, with a gunsmith modification to restrict a second round from chambering altogether. For the uninformed and for your interest, this is how a semi-auto 1911 functions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jig-RvZr1OM The greatest danger for mass casualties arising from a deranged mind, is intelligence. After the Oklahoma city bombing severe restrictions and reporting requirements were placed on the type of fertilizer used by McVeigh. A McVeigh device at the Las Vegas shooting event last year would have killed 5-10 times as many innocents. Recently there was an attack on a Syrian/Russian airbase using RPV-small- drones. Drones built in a home workshop. A commercially purchased drone caring a small explosive device. Could be landed on the fuel tank of a A-380, B-777 waiting for takeoff at any airport. The 2-300 tonnes of fuel on either side of 300-400 innocents inside... well it goes unsaid. In America thats not how the deranged mind formulates vengeance. For individuals with grievances, right or wrong. A focus for tools to inflict pain, justice, vengeance on the oppressors and/or the innocent. Is guns. Easy to obtain, easy to operate and cheap. Depicted in movies and with a proven track record in schools, concerts, etc. If the AR-15 needed a .378 weatherby magnum cartridge to penetrate battlefield armor, when designed. They would not be used in school shootings today. The punishing recoil would restrict use to highly trained military troops. Instead it, a semi-auto Glock, etc. are the tools of choice. All easy to get. For the NRA, for gun owners in America. The concept that you can't hunt, defend yourself, or your home and have fun at the range. Unless 5,10,30, or 100 rounds are instantly available to send downrange. Needs to change and be addressed. By law. Until then the carnage in America will continue.

  16. Who the hell pays you to post this shit? HRC, I guess its hard for you to reconcile all of these concepts. Your hero and his motivations together with this shooter and guns. Ann Coulter ✔ @AnnCoulter Last September, FBI was sent a screenshot of a comment by nikolas cruz: "I’m going to be a professional school shooter.” Unfortunately, the FBI was busy running down Clinton campaign leads about a nonexistent Russian conspiracy with Trump. http://nyti.ms/2C1v8uE 10:42 AM - Feb 15, 2018 Only a trump supporter could use the tragedy of a school shooting in order to cover up and conceal crimes committed by a president. Who takes money from an industry to enshrine AR-15 protections for 18 year olds.
  17. Ex-students say he wore a ‘Make America Great Again’ hat in school. “I saw him wear a Trump hat,” said Sebastian Gonzalez, a 19-year-old who graduated in 2017. Ocean Parodie, a 17-year-old junior, said Cruz was politically extreme. “For example, he would degrade Islamic people as terrorists and bombers. I've seen him wear a Trump hat,” Parodie said. Cruz wore the Trump hat in a photo on an Instagram account the company said belonged to him. Over his face he wore a red, white, and blue bandana. On that account and another one, Cruz posted photos of guns, knives, anti-Muslim slurs, and a picture of a toad he killed. On YouTube, a person by the same name spewed hateful commentary about anti-fascists. Cruz also celebrated Elliot Rodger, the gunman who killed seven people at the University of California, Santa Barbara in 2014, and who is considered a hero of the fringe men's rights movement. “Elliot rodger will not be forgotten,” he commented on one video one year ago. Cruz also commented on a CNN video called, “Is our culture to blame for Elliot Rodger’s rants?” https://www.thedailybeast.com/nikolas-cruz-trained-with-florida-white-supremacist-group-leader-says
  18. Holey crap I thought you were BS'ing but thats true.
  19. The reason was that January had one more business day than January last year. that drives it up by 5% not from some magical policy change. Note the last paragraph reiterating the staggering debt we will carry this year. You used to care about that.... $700 this year rising to $1 trillion next year. Thats IF there is no infrastructure plan. $20.6 trillion now rising to 28 trillion by 2028 and if interest rates rise that could be 150% of GDP. Oh well, if America's children can survive school shootings. They can pay off the debts arising from the decade of free rides that property and hedge fund managers received. All on the backs of trump voters, the poor, democrats, who had their agenda hijacked by Russia and trump. Meanwhile President Putin will be living in quiet retirement on his French estate. Laughing, mixing vodka with French champagne and thinking about the time when he ruled Russia, America, 1/2 dozen former soviet republics and Syria.
  20. Well Ron may be wrong about one thing. All the praying in the world won't abolish the sins of a lawyer.

Recently, labor costs in places such as China have been rising, and when paired with high international shipping costs, offshore production presents less of a discount than it once did. Recently, General Electric shifted production of a water heater from China to a plant in Louisville, Kentucky.

  22. Michael D. Cohen (born 1966/67) is an American lawyer, best known for his work as an attorney for Donald Trump and The Trump Organization. He joined the Trump Organization after having been a partner at the Phillips Nizer law firm.[2] Cohen is Executive Vice-President of the Trump Organization, a co-president of Trump Entertainment, and is involved in Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.[3] He is also a member of the board of the Eric Trump Foundation, a children's health charity named for Eric Trump.[2] Cohen volunteered for the 1988 presidential campaign of Michael Dukakis,[3] was a legislative intern for Congressman Joe Moakley,[4] and voted for Barack Obama in 2008, though he later became disappointed with Obama.[3] He also ran for New York City Council in 2003 as a Republican and briefly campaigned for a seat in the New York State Senate in 2010.[1][4] He was a registered Democrat, until he officially registered as a Republican on March 9, 2017.[5][6] While an executive at the Trump Organization, Cohen was known as Trump's "pit bull." In late 2011, when Trump was publicly speculating about running for the 2012 Republican Party presidential nomination, Cohen co-founded the website "Should Trump Run?" to draft Trump into entering the race.[4] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_D._Cohen_(lawyer)
  23. She is a lawyer, therefore your assumptions are right. I was reading a periodical for lawyers about 10 years ago. In it was a survey done by the industry as to how to go about improving the public's image of the industry...er...profession. The survey was an independent one conducted solely for the use of lawyers, not on clients, but instead on the public. It found that public perceptions ranked lawyers below used car salesmen, for integrity. After a 10 page story the conclusion was "no easy solutions" to address this "challenge".
  24. The thing with her is that because, by any conventional measure, she is so incredibly unsuited to the role she's actually getting away with a lot more than Spicer ever did. She so boring, so humourless, so utterly devoid of personality that no-one can even be bothered to engage her on the lies because there's no payoff there. I stil have no sympathy for Spicer but at least you could tell he knew that he was in the wrong with the most egregious lies - and then the journos could get a rise out of him by pushing on it and that engagement would help the story. SHS just doesn't care. The difference between truth and falsehood is simply irrelevant to her, and where do you go in the face of that? What a hour of deadpanned lying using the podium of the POTUS should have some humor to break up the questions?
  25. Yet they don't tell their clients about such magnanimous acts of personal caring for their clients. Part of his statement was that trump was not a party to the transaction.
