Yeah, the bank deal would work, but what are you going to make on a 250,000 cd? 2.5 or 3.0 maybe? Treasury may guarantee all notes when presented for payment, but it doesn’t guarantee that an investment will hold its value.

Would the $1,000,000 be backed by the full faith and credit of the US? FDIC only guarantees $250,000. Market drop won’t affect my social security payment. Investment house bankruptcy won’t affect my social security payment. I’ll take the guaranteed annuity.

No regrets, Hagar. Collusion has no meaning in the legal code. It’s called conspiracy, and has a high bar that Meuller couldn’t find enough evidence to bring charges. That’s part of why Barr’s press conference was a sham. He said no collusion parroting his boss, five times without making the conspiracy distinction once. Trump isn’t cleared of obstruction, just not charged. The report DID NOT exonerate him of obstruction. Read the report. But then again only the parts that you want to believe will be true, the rest witch hunt. I’m a third of the way through, and everything I’ve read has pretty much been reported already. So much for fake news. I think some of this needs Congressional investigation, but I don’t see the point in impeachment if there is no conviction, which there won’t be with 66 Senate votes required (I think). Investigation may reveal more corruption, however. I still say let 2020 decide. How does the man with a world class memory forget or fail to recall events related to his campaign 37 times. Guy’s still a clown.

There's a difference in being thin skinned and being constantly barraged with insults or character insinuations every time one voices an opinion. You are the most closed minded bunch I’ve interacted with, and you can find another liberal to be the foil for your incessant lies and distortions. I’ve been sleeping a lot better since I left from here. Always felt kind of slimy when I signed off.

I’m not unknowing and I’m not a pawn. Judgements like that is why I’ve quit coming around as often. Go for it. God will settle all this out eventually. I think He has special dispensations for folks who try and do His job for Him. Adios. Vaya con Dios.

They can’t hack voting booths. Had the Mueller investigation never happened I’d be badmouthing Trump. He’s not fit for the job.

I didn’t say he was guilty. I’ve said wait for the report from the get go. The report is out. Doesn’t make him a better president. Just gives him ammo to keep up his attack on our free press and expression of disagreement with him and his policies. He’s still the lyingest president in history.

Who said it wasn’t acceptable? It is what it is. Unlike the rest of you I trusted Mueller from the outset, and I trust his conclusions. Fact is, Russia meddled in our election process. The reaction I’ve seen here is “so what? Everyone does it. It’s happened before and no one said anything. We’ve done it, so why should we complain?” Is that how we teach our children? “ Oh, everyone does it, little Johnny, it’s okay”. I don’t think so. That Trump would make it all about himself is par for his course. To call out the Russian government would give some credence to the report, and Trump ain’t gonna do that. He’s going to use it to go after his enemies. Leadership at its finest.

No. Is that reason to ignore it?

He wasn’t exonerated on the obstruction charge.

It wasn’t a witch hunt. The Russians interfered with our election process. Do you care? Or is it another case of ends justifying means?

Biden/Harris.

There are still nets in the water. SDNY is of more interest to me than Mueller report.

It is very ironic that the Republican Party, which relentlessly paints the Democratic Party as the party of victim hood is being led by a man who plays the victim as effectively as anyone I remember. The Russians attempted to influence our election. The summary leaves no doubt about that. Our leader refusing to call them out and warn them off is either an act of cowardice, or else his narcissism runs so deep that he cares more for himself than protecting the integrity of our election process. He sees reality through a prism that revolves the entire political and national security process around him and how he thinks it makes him look. The fact that he wasn’t charged doesn’t make him a leader. Without a top-down rebuke to the Russian government, they will be back in spades come 2020. They don’t want Trump. This board is a microcosm of what they hope to accomplish. Make us fight with and distrust each other and the institutions upon which our nation is built. If he repudiates Putin he’ll gain some respect from me. I’m not holding my breath ‘til he does, though.

We must all be looking in mirrors, then.

I don’t remember it quite the same, but whatever.

Bill signed the bill.

You’re confusing this one with Whitewater.

The New York Post has as much credibility with me as the Times does with you.

And the last budget surplus was when who was president? President’s agenda can support access to healthcare and especially workforce training.

Free trade, healthy, educated well trained workforce and something approaching a balanced budget.

Sheep.

What wound up in the platform? Freedom of belief and separation of church and state are legitimate points of view. God wasn’t booed. Policy disagreements were voiced. I reiterate, what wound up in the platform?

I’ve been to state conventions and have never heard God booed. Why would you make such a repugnant remark?

So, if Trump is vindicated there will be no credibility to the report?
