When you start posting that Bill Clinton was responsible for both the late 1990's market and the budget surplus then I'll better understand where you are coming from.  

That's just it; I didn't complain non-stop about those with whom I had disagreements (i.e., Biden), and I readily acknowledge disagreements even with those I support (i.e., Trump).  Last I checked, COBF didn't exist when Clinton was President(?) but there was a lot there to like in those days.  Too bad he would be a pariah among today's democrats.

LOL, when you do return with a political post?  It will be one to remember Greg!

Ha I mean the only thing really permeating of late is wondering why every single numb nut Fed official and politician wants to talk about the horrors of inflation because of oil(war...DUH!), or heck BBQ prices(meat derivative)...but we all dance along oblivious as to why memory prices are A-OK having gone up 10x as 3-4 main guys sport 80% margins....is Liz the Indian still hammering home how unacceptable BX's 40% NOI margin is on rentals, or about big builders still having 20% margins financed by double digit construction loans? The more things go on, the more it seems the masses are just totally losing track of the things that are relevant to whats happening.

Yep. The thing I wonder about is whether there is a deliberate "overload" strategy going on, or if it's just a side effect of the way things happen these days.

 

Like, it's pretty clear that the "never let a crisis go to waste" thing from decades back was and is a deliberate strategy, and I'm wondering if overload is too.

Man I havent even really been posting here that much, not deliberately, just cuz things are quite boring politically of late, and outside having to briefly come back to curb stomp some turd covered gnat(whom detests my political commentary yet then begs for it when Im no longer giving it) and still, the sirens songs of COBF keep trying to pull me back in!

 

Your reaction is the same as the gnat's.  You both need to hit back at each other.  Just ignoring people works very well!  

 

Cheers!

I've personally been holding my breath the last couple of days related to the Ankara NATO summit ... - how would it go, and how would it turn out related especially the relationship of NATO to USA, and here we go - To me personally, it certainly could have turned out much, much more worse than this :

You may say so, but his performance is quite impressive, just take a look a this 80 years old charlatan and womanizer working on the always white dressed female Italian, who won't beg him! [If you ask me, it's just awesome, nobody can make this up, except AI!  - please don't tell Melania about it, or your President may be in trouble!  ] :

^ 9 out of the 14 unique states above have total Republican control (holding the governor’s office and both legislative chambers), and 11 of them have Republicans controlling both chambers of the legislature.

How can Republicans be so rational at the state level while operating as a complete, on-fire clown show at the national level? It's ironic.

You poor guys.

 

The Democratic Party is in a shambles and a joke.

 

Europe is an economic, military and cultural disaster and is even more of a joke.

 

But all you can do is think about Trump.
