Writing
of Mr. Putin and his associates, Mr. McCain said, “They don’t respect your
dignity or accept your authority over them. They punish dissent and imprison
opponents. They rig your elections. They control your media. They
harass, threaten, and banish organizations that defend your right to
self-governance. To perpetuate their power they foster rampant corruption in
your courts and your economy and terrorize and even assassinate journalists who
try to expose their corruption. They write laws to codify bigotry
against people whose sexual orientation they condemn. They throw the members of
a punk rock band in jail for the crime of being provocative and vulgar and for
having the audacity to protest President Putin’s rule.”
Hey John,
that's different from the USA How?
(Beside making yourself look like a kindergarten fool)
When the pundits open their big fat flaps--seems they are saying something they should say in their own House!
ReplyDeleteBut no, they are mealy mouth wanting to be liked by the Marxist side of the debate, unless there is someone like Senator Cruz who throws the hot potato their way.
TS/WS, I believe they've gotten SO lazy, that they just toss out what they think sounds good without any reckoning against reality or common sense.
DeleteCruz? What did he accomplish? Nothing. What could the republicans accomplish? Nada. Anyone that wants to ascertain that they are conservative need to distance themselves from the republican party. I have No Use for ANY republican. And that's damn sad, because I Despise the evil democrat/communists.
McCain is a yenta.
ReplyDeleteCruz has done everything he said he would do if we sent him into the bowls of the beast.
ReplyDeleteHe called out Babs Boxer and she went ballistic, awhile back.
He read Rush's dads speech about the 56 signers of the Deceleration of Independence and that's what MacShame is all mad about--Cruz called out every Lilly Liveried Shadow Boxer and exposed them as not ready for Prime Time.
He accomplished more in that 21 hours of Face Time than than any Real Statesman has in a loooonnngggggg time -and I've been around a looonnnggg time. If you think Cruz did nothing helpful you did not hear what he was saying.
TS/WS - OK, but Net Effect?
DeleteIf people tune in and go third party, maybe we'll get somewhere. Otherwise...
I'm not optimistic but we'll see !
TS/WS, and the 3rd party needs to break out, not run as repubs.
DeleteYour question is on point: how it it different? Meanwhile, Obama's having a tryst with Iran's President, the man who wouldn't even agree to meet and shake Obama's paw a day or two ago. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteMustang, Thank you. It Is stunning how an American president allows him and by extension - America, be treated by street punks. And I don't believe oBAMa talked to him either. I could be wrong of course.
DeleteYea, Cruz called all the Senators a Nevil Chamberlain---Up-Chuck Shumer cried all day today.
ReplyDeleteOn another note,
I do not have a accounting book that I talked about last time---it is a book about researching stocks for buying, in the swing trading arena. You know a stock a day or a 6 mo. or so swing.
TS/WS, Jeff Cooper hasa couple great books out about day and swing trading. Hit and Run Trading its sequel.
DeleteI read the guy everyday on Minyanville's Buzz and Banter subscription product which is available for free to account members of TDAmeritrade.
It is hard these days. Program trading is 70% minimum of the market then you get the manipulation from the Fed. But still.
The only catch is "real time" buy/sell. You really need to have the upper plan to keep your perspective for the timing.
ReplyDeleteIt cost about 5k a yr. for the "real time" buy/sell. So, you have to have a good bit of a padded account to justify the extra for the upper plan.
The lower plan you have to set a target buy /sell. If the move is a penny off either way---you miss out and that could mean some real bucks. And or, the trade will be made at the agents or market day end discretion. No thanks to the lower (budget) plan.
So, that keeps me out of play. If and when I have enough to open an account, it will be the 5k a yr. plan I am to much of a control nut--I likes de dice game (casino only), you are right there to say--buy, sell, or split, or my bets are off, or Take them down.
TS, Not sure what you mean about the 5K a year. I pay 9.99 a trade, and I may be in for an hour (unusual) or most of the day (More usual) or maybe overnight as well (less usual) I'm sure I don't pay 5K in commissions. Now if you want to play the game that the high speed traders play (computer trading) then you're paying a lot of money for the fastest connections to the exchange computers.
ReplyDeleteHFT Article
That's it-- the high speed internet, 5k a yr. and I think less than 9.99 a trade
ReplyDeleteScotts Trade is where I looked cause my brother did it and I looked at his plan and saw the do it your self plan.
He did the target set plan. And I probed him to step up - but he said his set target was good enough, cause like me he did not trade enough to justify the 5k a yr.---come to think of it maybe you had to do a min number of trades a yr. too.
TS, Ok. Well, I'm not so good, I'd throw my money at a computer program. I enjoy the flexibility and interactive as well.
DeleteLike now. Similar to the Fed meetings, Remember the last one? :) this senate debt limit nonsense has the capability to move the market in a direction I have not the slightest interest in betting on. So, I'm in cash until the clown show curtain comes down.
You have to know when to hold em-know when to fold em
ReplyDeleteTS, OH Yes...
DeleteJohn McCain Hires Elizabeth O'Bagy, Syria Analyst Recently Fired Over False Ph.D Claim
ReplyDeleteWhassup with THAT
AOW, friend of the 'family' is my guess? The politicians are so far gone now, they don't even recognize when they crap on the country.
DeleteThe people seem to be even more further gone.
Let's send them a msg and keep sending it. 3rd party baby ! Americans Only in politics. yea right.
