Guard Dog Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Interesting article. The more the Dems & Media criticize Trump the more his supporters support him. They are literally galvanizing their opposition. Another example of the political tribalism that has taken hold in these parts. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/23/us/politics/republican-voters-trump.html 2 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smjjames Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 (edited) @raithe: Shouldn't the fear be that they're way more competent than stormtroopers who couldn't even hit the side of a barn? heh Interesting article. The more the Dems & Media criticize Trump the more his supporters support him. They are literally galvanizing their opposition. Another example of the political tribalism that has taken hold in these parts. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/23/us/politics/republican-voters-trump.html Not surprising given psychological studies. There's also this, Trump wanted to go and use Executive orders to pass immigration reform as part of a bill WaPo article with a bit more filled in detail than The Hill, but advisers and staff told him that he can't do it unilaterally by fiat via Executive order.However, the irony here is that, didn't Obama do exactly that with DACA? I'm pretty sure Obama went down that route (though it wasn't alongside legislation as Trump's idea was) of changing immigration laws via Executive Order, but Trump's idea was to go even further than Obama ever did.

Volourn Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I don't believe banks should be in the business of making this kind of moral decision. If someone is selling a/buying a legal product the banks should suck it up. Aren't the banks also backed up by the gov't in many ways? Still, between the whole cake mess, kicking out people you disagree with politicly, and a whole bunch of other nosense, this is silly, hilarious, and sad. What si rghit. What is wrong. FREEEDOM................. Though, please don't tell me that all banks are extreme anti gun leftists. I have my doubts about that. L0L DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Guard Dog Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Banks tend to support business that generate a profit and repay their loans. Every time there is some kind of attack on gun rights people go out and buy guns. So, ins the spirit of business and cynicism If I were heavily invested in gun manufacturers I'd be one of the biggest gun control supporters around. Not saying anything like that is happening but would it surprise anyone? 1 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volourn Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Also, banks are known 9rightly or wrongtly) to be so morally corrupt and greedy that their practices have led to many people losing their homes, going homeless, spousal abuse, child abuse, suicide, murder, and other nasty stuff. Yet, we're to believe that they are so morally good that some banks' 'anti gun' stance is in any way altruistic. LMAO I believe there is some political bullying going on.

The restaurant deserves some terrible yelp reviews and all that. I do not understand why the President of the United States is wasting time talking about the state of their canopies.

Guard Dog Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 You need to be either crazy or a real gambler to invest in stocks today. I got out once it looked like Obama was going to win and never bought back in. Too many factors that have nothing to do with a shares actual value affect it's price.

Malcador Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Both Apple and Toyota are good examples—from either end of the spectrum—that macro-economic and company-specific factors will almost always have much more impact on the fate of a company’s share price than a tweet Sort of an obvious point to end on, I guess.
