Think he also had to have been run or at least supported by some intelligence agency (foreign or domestic). Don't think all that blackmail of the rich and powerful was for money alone.
A bit OT but here is a great chance to illustrate one of the most common types of journalistic bias- the use of modifiers to compel a specific interpretation of a statistic.
I don't know the exact number but let's say 990 people died. If I have no opinion or if it's not central to what I want...
This is an illogical question. Because non-believers don't buy what you're selling doesn't mean we have an alternate system of belief. Trusting in what science can prove and being satisfied with the answer, "We don't know" for the rest is light years from you asking me to believe all the...
Testing is woefully inadequate- both for the disease and the antibody. From what I've read and heard, needs to be at least 5 million a day. Solve that and safely opening up can be targeted. Problem is that someone of considerable influence who insists he's done a bang-up job doesn't want to...
It looks like a redneck convention because that's what it was. I remember after Romney lost to Obama and answers were desperately being sought, Bobby Jindal, then Republican governor from Louisiana, suggested it was time for the GOP to stop being the "stupid" party. Little did he know that...
Will not happen- we are the world's pet currency. Going back to the Reagan days of voodoo economics, the monetarists ruled the economic roost. Guys like Milton Friedman changed how we looked at inflation as part of the trickle down sell.
Old school economics said inflation was too many...
No bail-outs for companies that used the last stimulus to buy back stock to boost share prices. All that money has now evaporated to absolutely no avail leaving only increased national debt to show for it
Even if you don't draw the short straw, your lives will all be changed for the worse for a while. Restaurants and theaters will be mostly gone. Probably the final nail for shopping malls and big box stores. Sporting events? Some things will get very cheap for loss of demand while others may...
It was a temporary tax cut for the middle class and a permanent tax cut for upper classes. Coupled with increased spending it was fiscally irresponsible to the nth degree. If you've amassed a billion dollars, the old tax rate was probably not killing you.
What drives an economy is spending...
I'd be very careful. a deal was reached with Teva to sell a generic in 2018 but the patent doesn't expire until this April, so I'd hang on another few months and see just how cheap legitimate knock-offs get.
Obviously it depends on how the sign is used- like occasionally "gay" can still mean festive.
But as for the sophomoric liberal snowflake reference-
Publicly state the majority of Trump supporters fall on the wrong side of the bell curve, state the fact that all anthopogenic climate change...
