Trump runs for POTUS / Trumped Up! Part V

[snoop_doxie]

Weird, because Mosler and Trump couldn't be farther apart.

Trump suggests that the US default on its debt and renegotiate our debts. Mosler calls that "finanial suicide".

Does that sound like he wants to Chapter 11 the United States?

No, not at all. Frankly, I think Hillary is more prone to actual temper tantrums. She just is better about hiding them.

Again, is that your political bias or your extensive psychological training speaking?

 

[Dr. Keith]

Trump is going to go in a different direction. I don't even care what direction, just that he'll appoint originalist justices to the court.

Hope and Change.

I just sure hope it is the change you want, although I see no reason why you would assume that.

I hope Trump wins, but I will be voting for Gary Johnson...

What happened to the bet?

How can you be so disingenuous? You suggest that Hillary is prone to "actual temper tantrums" despite no one seeing them.

Lots of people have seen them, including Bill and most of the Secret Service agents who have been on her detail. I posted a link to a New York Times article a few pages back which alluded to how hot-tempered she is (although the article made it sound like a compliment).

Actually, here's another report.

No, it's my ability to read.

Did Mosler actually say that? I don't remember although I have disagreed with him on some substantive things (not just politics - he's way too much to the left for my taste). In my view, defaulting on the debt would be a non-event. The defaulted debt would trade at par because the courts would probably let people redeem defaulted bonds to the Treasury in fulfillment of tax obligations.

Taxes are the only thing that gives the US dollar value anyway (a dollar is essentially a tax credit), and the US dollar is the only thing that gives Treasury bonds value.

Hey, you think this bullet proof vest is still any good?

 

[pgwenthold]

A hidden tantrum? Nice oxymoron.

Steve S

She has temper tantrums but she keeps them to herself.

 

[sunmaster14]

My wife released me from the obligation to vote from Hillary. As long as I don't vote for Trump, she's good.

I think it was a question of enforcement and knowing that the cops weren't going to pursue violations, but it was actually a Supreme Court decision that made contraception fully "legal", meaning including unmarried persons. Prior to that various statutes (nothing from the Supremes, but from states) legalized contraception for married couples. New York had such case law, but doctors just kinda forgot to ask if you were married or not. Or if they did ask, the patient simply responded that she was married. No one checked.

Pretty sure it was governed by state law and the SCOTUS ruling simply mandated the rest of the states to get with the program.

1965 The Supreme Court (in Griswold v. Connecticut) gave married couples the right to use birth control, ruling that it was protected in the Constitution as a right to privacy. However, millions of unmarried women in 26 states were still denied birth control.

Meaning it was only being denied in 26 of 50 states.

The SCOTUS ruling in 65 addressed the states that were denying birth control to everyone including married women.

That same year, the Supreme Court struck down state laws that prohibited contraception use, though only for married couples. (Unmarried people were out of luck until 1972, when birth control was deemed legal for all.)

While on the subject of temper tantrums, I once saw a clip of Trump on his reality show being talked back to by some upstart. Trump suddenly flushes up in a very distinctive way and totally loses it, lunging at the guy and pushing him back over a table. (A crime of common assault, of course, which Trump got away with.) The flush was distinctive of porphyria, which also matches Trump's rambling speech pattern.

Porphyria is a hereditary disease : the Stewarts all had it and passed it down to the Hanoverians, most famously King George III, as in "The Madness of". That's what the Trumpets want in the White House. A mad King fit for these mad times. Makes a mad kind of sense, I suppose.

Thanks for proving my point. You provided a link to a witness who NEVER saw anything. More rumor, speculation and gossip from someone writing a tell all book. Congrats.

Link? and by that, I mean more than just one Secret Service employee (he wasn't an agent) who was never i nthe room with them except for a Chritmas picture gossipping.

Uh-huh. Trump is passionate and tells it like it is. Hillary is a bitch. Same old same old.

Actually, here's another report.

Washington Times? What, InfoWars blocked at work?

I'm guessing Bill's seen a couple.

 

[CapelDodger]

As much as the GOP derided voters for buying into an empty promise of Hope and Change, I find this sort of support for Trump quite ironic.

I know he will bring some sort of change, I just hope he does what I want.

Which he's under no obligation to do, let's remember. Trump has been very clear about that. Donald Trump is never obliged.

You're like Trump, Sunmaster. You're all over the place. First you say you hope that Trump follows Mosler and then you say he's much too left for your tastes.

Sheesh, you're hard to pin down.

 

[acbytesla]

I mean there are some that are understandable. I find it a joke that Sunmaster thinks that it might be unreasonable for Hillary to get hopping mad over an unfaithful husband. It's another of the false equivalents that keep getting hauled out.

 

[CapelDodger]

I'm guessing Bill's seen a couple.

I dunno. I think more likely icy, calm shreddings of him right down to the bone and into his very soul.

My Mum does a brilliant line in those. I've seen grown men chew their own heads off rather than endure another.

I have documented, here, the one I witnessed. It was 2006, at the Beacon theater. A disgusting display, of human behavior!
GREAT Stones show, though!

There's nothing more that can be expected.

It's *********** pathetic. A game.
