I was watching CNN panel and they were providing readouts from both sides, who had the meltdown, etc. I sympathize to a degree. They and we can't know directly what happened in the meeting. Neither side can be an entirely reliable narrator. But let's be real. It is entirely ...
2/ out of character for Pelosi and WE HAVE BEEN WATCHING the President decompensate and lose whatever self-possession remained to him for more than two weeks. It's sort of like the perfect phone call with Zelensky. What's to spin? We saw what he said! And here, what's the ...
3/ we're watching him meltdown in real time.
4/ We simply can't bothsides this one. We know what's happening because we're watching it. It's Trump or your lyin eyes.

I don’t understand the mechanics of the trades well enough. But given what we know it seems all but impossible that this hasn’t happened. Let’s assume that no Trump family member has used inside knowledge to game the markets. vanityfair.com/news/2019/10/t…
2/ We know that Trump routinely chats on the phone with various fixers and friends, many of whom are big market financial types. Even without the intent of giving them advance knowledge to make trades it’s hard to imagine that such info doesn’t get disclosed a lot.
3/ A savvy market operator would know how to operationalize a lot of info to place trades and positions like those described in the article. Especially with the kind of pissing match the China trade stuff is for Trump he must talk shit about this stuff a lot.

Amazon has apparently run our local/regional grocery delivery service, Fresh Direct, out of business. As someone who routinely purchases things on Amazon, Amazon - especially as it uses its monopoly power to expand into more and more businesses - is bad for America.
2/ A few people have asked in this thread. So here's my answer. How to deal with Amazon in its core retail portal business I think raises legit questions of social/econ utility. But that's not really the main issue. The issue is how Amazon is allowed to use its access to ...
3/ capital, monopoly control over distribution networks and scale in computing, server farms etc. to enter other businesses are anti-competitive terms. That to me is pretty straightforward in anti-trust, anti-competitive terms. No brainer.

OBVIOUS: Hey Jude is definitely not a song about or for Julian Lennon and if you still can’t accept this after all these years, seriously come at me now and I’ll drop you in one shot.
2/ More seriously, McCartneys creation story for the song is so obviously bogus I’ve long wondered just why he came up with it. I think his first mention of it he is well past 40. So I’ve always assumed it’s midlife McCartney trying to domestic ideas and inspirations from his ...
3/ mid-20s. Now it’s conceivable that the the refrain originated as something tied to Lennon’s son, though I think this is actually pretty doubtful. If it is in any way about or for a 5 year old boy it is almost comically inappropriate since it’s main themes are adult love ...

@GayRepublicSwag 1/

David, I'm sorry you have been treated ill by liberals - but I know that you are aware of the viciousness on both sides. And if you were to become Democrat, you would be saying the exact opposite. You know this.

We are a divided nation but we ALL want the same thing.
@GayRepublicSwag 2/
We all want a strong country, a safe planet, peace and trade worldwide. I believe you want a healthy ecosystem and you want to protect our world for future generations. I believe you want a strong economy, jobs and growth, and food and healthcare for all.
@GayRepublicSwag 3/
I believe you want all the same things Democrats want. We just see the path differently.

Don't vilify an entire group because of the behavior of some. You KNOW conservatives can be vicious - as you would experience if you switched sides. There is bad behavior on BOTH sides.

CHAPTER 25: THE GENERAL LAW OF CAPITALIST ACCUMULATION

The Second Model of Capital Accumulation
The second model of accumulation analyzes what happens when the increasing productivity of social labor becomes “the most powerful lever of accumulation” (772).
The impacts of technological and organizational changes on productivity need to be placed in a central position in relation to the dynamics of accumulation.

Conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi in plea negotiations with Mueller, which could shed light on whether Trump or his advisers were linked to WikiLeaks’ release of hacked Democratic emails in 2016 washingtonpost.com/politics/stone…
"Word is friend in embassy plans 2 more dumps. One shortly after I'm back. 2nd in Oct. Impact planned to be very damaging."

Corsi informed Stone about the planned WikiLeaks Dem email releases 2 months in advance.

And Mueller has the exchange. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
"Stone responded, "Get to (Assange) [a]t Ecuadorian Embassy in London and get the pending (WikiLeaks) emails."

Corsi passed the request along to conservative author Ted Malloch in London"

This is wild wild stuff too. Thanks @JohnWHuber for pointing this article out. washingtonpost.com/world/national…
"Justice Department officials, meanwhile, were concerned that the FBI — and McCabe in particular — may have acted too hastily to open an investigative file on the president after Comey was fired and that the move could be painted as an act of anger or revenge."

I'D SAY SO!!!
Rod Rosenstein was concerned about McCabe opening up an INVESTIGATION OF THE PRESIDENT for firing his boss? I like Rod Rosenstein more and more every day

@ICEgov Hola Terroristas,

there are only 30k people in my town

only 1 of us lived in Palestine, Sierra Leone, has a wife in Nicaraguan & sponsored a West Africa DV winner
you even know what i look like



you know EXACTLY who i am :|
you have checked ;)
@ICEgov how many public schools have i attended in U.S.?
20? more? i recall 5 in Rantoul alone :|
but typically they were much more spread out? NJ, PA, IL, IN, etc.

what did i learn in all those public schools?
the education was remarkably universal
ofc there were the 3 r's
& history!
@ICEgov the history was as universal as math or English

being state sponsored, i was taught to love America!
hence my problem with you :|

i was taught things like "give us your tired, your weak, your poor"
but not how Irish, Italians, Jews, Chinese, were treated like shit
