Sifo, if we were betting we'd pick a spot between us.... Cleveland? In any event there is zero reason for haste here. How about a bet on how many fraudulent votes? Or when Mexico pays for the wall? | ||

Hahahaha . . . I can just about guarantee Mexico will pay for any wall that gets built. They erred when they drew a line. Frankly, were I part of the Trump administration, I'd have immediately locked down the border and banned Mexican imports. Let Ford, Fender and all those companies get their asses back to America and build the products they are selling Americans. Mexico . . . and you don't get all those travel advisories issued by the USDOS by being a vacation get-away . . .is a hotbed of drug and gang activities. You'd be insane to go to Mexico City these days. Trump has never had an issue with immigrants . . .his issue has been with ILLEGAL immigrants. . . . you know, the ones who break the law to cross the border and then come to the USA and take benefits illegally and commits crimes. They are the first ones I'd waterboard. I'd make them take a serious look at the consequences before even thinking about crossing that border. | ||

Agreed. The MSM has him painted as "anti-immigrant" and the sheeple are buying it hook, line, and sinker. He's - as Court said - anti-ILLEGAL. Difference. Watching the briefings, it sounds like the admin is going about it properly at least. More severe penalties pretty much across the board, to make the point. Consistent, strict, firm punishment for things like illegal immigration and...oh, I don't know...felony rioting and destruction of property. The nation at large is no longer the "safe haven" for all the butt-hurt Dems to sit and cry and destroy stuff and disrupt everyone else's daily life. Nor is the nation at large going to tolerate criminal activity in general - from citizens, or from illegals. And the one briefing was brilliant - we'll SEND BACK the illegals who commit crimes here in the US. And we'll - what a concept THIS is - actually SUPPORT and not ignore the citizen victims who are affected by these illegals and the crimes they commit. An illegal kills a cop. Everybody focuses on the "persecuted immigrant"...which is patently untrue, by the way - they're neither "persecuted" nor "immigrant" because they're ILLEGAL...but everyone ignores the honest, actual CITIZEN who was killed, and the family they left behind. W. T. F. This stuff has to change. And it looks like it will. Finally. Court - check your email for a completely unrelated message  | ||

Radio pundit today was laughing about the media demanded an investigation on vote fraud because Donald trolled them with his multi millions speculation. Not a claim mind you... he was speculating. So after they asked for an investigation, he gave them one. And now they will ignore that they asked for this and lie about how stupid it is. | ||

I think one major problem is right there in a quote at the end of the article, from Stephen Engleberg at ProPublica: “We are here to tell the truth and we intend to continue doing so, regardless of how badly some might want us to parrot ‘alternative facts,’” Mr. Engelberg said. No. The press is NOT here to "tell truth". The press's SOLE responsibility is to report FACTS. "Truth" implies judgement on some level. Analysis. Interpretation. Perspective. WRONG. That is not the job of the press. The job of the press is to simply report the facts. "true/false/good/bad" is up to the consumer, NOT the press. A good reporter does only that - reports on what is. Either it is or it isn't. Don't get into "why". I learned there were four key elements to a story: who, what, where, when. Simple. Facts. Who did it. What did they do. Where did they do it. When did they do it. STOP. You're done. You have now successfully reported an event. The consumer can do the rest, by comparing this event to other events that have been accurately reported with the same who/what/where/when facts. If you get into a "why" did they do it...you start speculating, painting it with influence, and biasing your consumer. | ||

Yes all true, and now the media wants us to believe Trump has the lowest ratings from the people of any new Pres. They also want us to believe that the crowds at the inauguration were very small according to their scientific observers, how pathetic ! Though I'm not a fan as yet, Steve Bannon has it right, instead of just reporting the news, they want to steer it in the direction they want, they still just don't get it ! | ||

Trump is certainly upsetting the status quo. I'm still not completely sold on what he is doing, but I have not underestimated him. I'm amazed at the numbers of people who have simply underestimated him. If you do that, and oppose him, he will steam roll you. It's a bit entertaining watching these people who think they can just brush him off as bluster. Makes you want to say "welcome to the NFL". Trump is a big league player. Case in point, Mexico's President trying to play hard ball by canceling their meeting. Their currency has gone into free fall. No doubt, failing to agree on trade agreements will hurt the US to some extent. The simple reality is that it will be devastating to Mexico. They NEED the US. The US can get by with out them. Trump understands the cards he holds in negotiations. He also doesn't flinch when you bluff him. Far better to be his weak ally than his strong foe. It's certainly going to be an interesting Presidency. | ||

Though I'm not a fan as yet, Steve Bannon has it right, instead of just reporting the news, they want to steer it in the direction they want, they still just don't get it! ^ The "elite" media, as Mr. Bannon describes them, gets it just fine - they're doing, and saying, what they've been told to do and say. The left isn't stupid; they're brilliant, actually. They don't play fair, to be sure, but they're not dumb. The mainstream media is owned - lock, stock and barrel - by folks with very deep pockets. And I don't know why it is, but it seems the more money you've got, the lefter you lean. President Trump is an anomaly in this regard. In part, I think it's because he's worked his ass off to get where he is. (Seriously, have you ever seen anyone work harder to become president?) The mainstream media would have you believe they're impartial. They absolutely are NOT. And they aren't stupid. They "get it" just fine - they're simply doing the bidding of their masters.

Sifo early on you said we will get the money figured out and then nail down the specifics. The only option I can facilitate is setting up a bank account that takes both of us. If we get the money squared away we have 3 years to figure out fair statistics, but I will not use GDP, this is about working class people not corporations. So if that is your way to back out so be it. Comparing multiple (an odd number of) criteria to betting on 12 teams is just pathetic, maybe you didn't know it but the American economy is kinda complex, but to you its all black and white, right and wrong. I cant help it that for some reason 7 messages to the moderators went unanswered concerning that I couldn't access my old account linked to an old college web address... but I tried so so hard to conceal my identity! Here is an interesting read, but im sure it is all fake cuz nobody but fox and Breitbart tell the truth, right? https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/trumps-gov ernment-looks-an-awful-lot-like-a-badly-run-busine ss/2017/01/26/8b9e4886-e40d-11e6-a453-19ec4b3d09ba _story.html | ||

To claim that there is no voter fraud going on requires a head to be planted deeply into the sand. If you don't look hard enough, you will manage to not see. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/jan/26/hi llary-clinton-received-800000-votes-from-nonciti/ | ||

Not fake, just a biased reporter offering her opinion. It was an opinion piece after all. Obviously biased, due to references to Trumps failed businesses as if it was par for the course. No mention is made of his successful ones, which far outnumber the failures. | ||
| Hootowl |
And quite a few of the failed ones appear to be "let's see if there's market for this" sort of ventures, which weren't ever worth much, and hurt him not in the slightest when they were closed. | ||
| Macbuell |
Every successful entrepreneur has failed enterprises. Those failures, and more importantly the desire to take those risks, are what drove their success. Most people, including myself, are far too risk averse to try their hand at starting and running their own company. Look at Erik Buell. He's risked everything, over and over again, at his dream of building motorcycles in an industry dominated by giants that have tons of working capital. Are we going to call him a failure? Also, I'd much rather have people like that in a position to make real life decisions rather than someone who has spent his entire life in a classroom, a court room or at a news desk. | ||

It does seem that the new business model is to create short term business that are never intended to be permanent. There is a lot of overhead involved with re-investment and permanence which many investors and customers are not interested in. | ||
