This man’s brain is trembling in the balance between reason and insanity, and as he stalks on with clenched fist and sword in hand, as though he still saw those murderous Russians gunners.

That doesn't say anything about stocks. The lowest level of association it gives is "angel investor", not regular stock owners. Plus american weed stocks are a better investment.

Saunders said U.S. Homeland Security’s definition of “business” in the country can be quite broad and can include mutual funds or any other investment plans.

In one case, Saunders said an Edmonton man received a lifetime ban from entering the U.S. simply because he was a part-owner in a Colorado building that leases space to a pot dispensary.

Even if you’re a sitting congresscritter you still have a canidancy and campaign for re-election. So calling a candidate is a way to dodge info on who it could be.

Agreed. I'm not gonna pretend it's an exclusively bad idea on Trump's part, but I still think it's pretty loving dumb to do.

Also we all know that if Obama did it before midterms or had Clinton won and did it, we'd never hear the loving end of it. The only reason it wasn't a huge deal before was because of :decorum:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/jul/13/trump-fake-news-fox-cnn-theresa-may?CMP=share_btn_fb

quote:

The sheer dogged efficacy of Trump’s tactic to repeat lies until they come true in the minds of others was illustrated by the declaration on Twitter of Stephanie Grisham, the press secretary for first lady Melania Trump, that she had seen Trump’s prediction – which didn’t happen – with her own eyes. She even claimed to have photos.

Trump claims to have predicted Brexit. The cited time he made the prediction was an event the day after the Brexit vote. They're now claiming that a thing that happened in full view of the world in front of cameras happened earlier than it did.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
I don't even want to attempt to refute it at this point. Knowing our luck, you go back and look and it will be the biggest crowd ever seen as reality bends to his stupid, iron will.

Imagine being so god drat dumb and stubborn that causality loving throws in the towel, says gently caress it.

The extreme heat wave and drought in northern Europe has been leading to some interesting stuff. In addition to revealing traces of WWI in France and Belgium, it also lead to the discovery of another neolithic stone site, similar to Stonehenge, in Ireland.
