$1 Billion Looser Looes More $$$ Than Any USA Citizen Ever

@TheDredPriateRoberts
The regulation/insider trading game is so rampant in DC.


While pretending that regulations are important to protecting the public, fatcats fleece middle class investors with insider trading when they throw up regulations to tank corporate stock prices...have their buddies like Soros buy it all up...then quietly remove the regulations.....

Get the damn government out of the economy. It's not helping anyone but the 1 percenters. When you hear the government talk about regulations and subsidies, tell em to screw off, cause you know how the DC 3-card-monte plays out.

That's why all the Congress are instant millionaires.

Right, but the fact that he did not try to purchase the presidency with his billions by spending far, far less than Clinton means he was not thinking of making a return on his investment. In fact he publicly said on more than one occasion that he was going to lose money by running for the presidency, but that he felt he needed to do it to fix the country. That's a lot of sacrifice for a person who values money more than most people.

From a person that graduated from business school (me) that's a good indication that Trump was never in it for the money.

Well the billion Trump lost after 2016 was most certainly NOT voluntary. As a matter of fact he spent 50% less than Hillary and used VERY LITTLE of his own personal wealth in the election.

What you think and what a billionaire thinks are not usually the same...hence why they are a billionaire and you are not.

What is far more interesting is the Billion he lost after 2016. No other politician LOST so much money by GOING to DC.

Most politicians increase their wealth by thousands of percentages by going to DC.

Even Bernie Sanders made millions.

You are the one injecting terms like "dishonorable" and "undesirables"

Is this how the deplorable labelers dog whistle to each other? Is this how basket weaving identity politics is done?

I have never been to a 40% college, so I would not know.

How do you tell when a politician really cares about the country?

When he loses a billion dollars of his own personal net worth by running for president.


From the article:

"The presidency has been bad for Donald Trump's finances, with his personal net worth falling from $4.5 billion to $3.1 billion over the past two years, according to the latest Forbes billionaires list."

What the Democrats are doing is tantamount to to a judge receiving a "not-guilty" verdict from a jury foreman, and then publicly reciting it in thousands of languages, slangs and dialects in the hopes that someone in the public might think the verdict was guilty....

I'll break this down for you. 

1) Barr testified that he DID NOT KNOW of any problems Mueller would have with Barr's conclusions. Namely 2 points of:

a) There was no collusion..
b) There was insufficient evidence to charge for obstruction of justice.

2) Pelosi then said "Hay, Mueller sent you a letter saying he was concerned!" 

a) Without explaining what she thought Mueller was actually concerned about.
b) Assuming that saying "I don't know or I do not recall" to the Congress is an impeachable offense.

3) When the facts came out about what Mueller was actually concerned about, it made Pelosi look silly to anyone other than her rabid base.

a) She needed a win so the media could spin a fake narrative for a few weeks.
b) She needed to send the message that is Barr digs up any dirt about unauthorized spying on a presidential candidate that she has 6 ways to Sunday to get back at Barr.

Got it?

Good!

Not denying that correlation. We are disputing what you are classifying as "education"

Nearly 40% of all colleges in the USA have 0% conservative professors. That means 40% of "educated" people have never learned anything except one side of every issue. That's certainly not the hallmark of an intelligent person, or even a measure of education in the classical meaning of education.

A degree from an American Institution today is a dubious stigma, especially given how our graduates compared with other nation's graduates on every measure of intelligence and cognitive thinking.

"Some 17,000,000 Americans with college degrees are doing jobs that the Bureau of Labor Statistics says require less than the skill levels associated with a bachelor's degree." These alumns are becoming flight attendants, retail sales people, and even shampooers at hair salons."

In reality, college is such a lucrative business model that it is in their corporate interests to make the curriculum as easy as possible to secure more federal aid. The mere fact that many students actually STAYED all 4-5 years in some overpriced colleges racking up unsustainable debt calls their economic intelligence into question.

American college graduates are ranked below 15 nations and far below global averages on critical skills, which should really come as no surprise since our K-12 system falls way below the global average. Thanks must be conferred on the very biased educational system that produces indoctrinated people loyal to the education industry complex and not to their nation or themselves. Students are indoctrinated to support public education unions that puts teacher's interests over the students. It's really disgusting for educators to then go and label that as a mark of an "intelligent" person. It's like proudly wearing the armband of the Nazis, just allegiance to a different kind of power- the education industrial complex.

I think you pretty much summed it up with this.

2016 was the year of the basket of deplorables.

2020 will be the year of the basket of dummies.

The details are pretty much the same as Trump. Neither WANTED to separate children, but a court ruling by an activist liberal judge made it illegal to keep children with the parents when the parents criminally invaded the country with child in tow.

Afterwards "journalists" took some images from the Obama era with kids in cages and attempted to say Trump, and only Trump was responsible.

If even a person like Mueller is willing to leak information through the WAPO, you can expect it will never stop.

The only thing you can be sure of is that if there was some bombshell evidence in the unredacted report, you know that Mueller or one of his team would have already sent it through the WAPO.

The Democrats’ perjury/contempt/impeachment slander against Barr is based on the fact that, in prior congressional testimony, Barr was asked whether Mueller agreed with Barr’s conclusions about the report, including that there was insufficient evidence to charge obstruction. Barr replied that he did not know whether Mueller agreed. Democrats now contend that Barr must have known Mueller disagreed because he had Mueller’s letter. But Mueller’s letter doesn’t say he disagreed with Barr’s conclusion – it says he was unhappy with how his work was being perceived by the public.

Barr and Mueller spoke by phone the day after Mueller sent his letter. If you wade through the first 13 paragraphs of the Post’s story, you finally find the bottom line...."When Barr pressed Mueller on whether he thought Barr’s memo to Congress was inaccurate, Mueller said he did not... but felt that the media coverage of it was misinterpreting the investigation, officials said."<<this is straight out of the letter.
So even Mueller conceded, that Barr’s letter was accurate. The liberal diva was just worried about the media coverage.

This behavior is expected when you have a person torn between appearing professional while having a team of incredibly biased prosecutors working on the 2 year investigation.
