CRIP EATIN BREAD posted:Somebody should be executed for this sort of negligence. Hey now, they made an oopsie. They made... several, repeated oopsies. We should forgive them for their past mistakes, however irresponsible we may feel they were, and let them start with a clean slate. After all, isn't that what credit reporting is all about? Second chances?

Vladimir Putin posted:I think the tax bill is a 50/50. The only thing the democrats can use to argue against it is that it increases the deficit. Most people will weigh that against have extra money in their pocket and go for it. considering how much of the US budget is spent on defense and law enforcement you could easily say that tax cuts directly weaken the US military

Maybe mention those things instead of falling for the republican pretension that the government does nothing.

I don't think it's entirely hyperbolic to say that, at this point, the credit system is probably broken beyond repair, even though it'll likely take a couple more years for the breadth of the problem to really make itself felt acutely. It's not unlikely that drat near every American household has a member whose identity has been compromised.

Shimrra Jamaane posted:Umm isn't a 2.7% drop just statistical noise? No. A nearly 3% drop in a few hours is fairly significant. Especially for a large and "stable" company. Average intraday trading changes are usually around 0.2% to 0.4%. It's not as massive as the graph makes it look, though. Leon Trotsky 2012 fucked around with this message at 18:42 on Oct 12, 2017 |

Man, things are really lovely right now. I'd like to express that in more words, but I don't have time to write a book at the moment. It's not even Trump's ability to carry out his agenda that concerns me the most. It's his complete inability to lead in the face of circumstances like natural disasters. And the rediscovered brazenness of white supremacists is not helping. They're everywhere.

capone lavishly bribed all the civil servants and law enforcement persons necessary to ensure a thick web of loyalty shielded him from prosecution. he built his reputation on generosity and philanthropy trump backstabs people and throws them under whatever vehicle he can find at the first possible opportunity, loyalty to trump is paid back with spite and humiliation. he uses his charitable foundation as his personal wallet and donates nothing to his supporters
