Credibility? OMG can't you see the fraudulent "convictions" were TOTAL LawFare by deranged Dimocrat operatives? No one and I mean NO ONE believes they were legitimate. Even the Dims know it was just a political take down attempt that backfired spectacularly. Most of them even admit it now.    

 

 

He can't - he is quoting familiar sources.......

Just like Michael Wolf wrote 4 books about trump - all lies and half truths, but Trump haters eat it up, and Wolf laughs all the way to the bank.  The amount of money people have made off of Trump is insane. Think of all the attorneys that have been paid to challenge Trump, plus media, merch, etc......

But back to Wolf, his latest book he claimed that Melania met trump though Epstein, which is a lie, but I bet DCT read it as fact.......and James Carville had to apologize......

Carville said. "After the episode, we received a letter from Melania Trump’s lawyer. He took issue with our title of one of those YouTube videos from that episode and a couple of comments I made about the first lady. We took a look at what they complained about, and we took down the video and edited out those comments from the episode. I also take back these statements and apologize."

Stick to what you know.  

What I know is I get sick of coming on this part of the site and seeing you turn EVERY SINGLE THREAD into an Epstein thread.

Nothing wrong with constructive criticism. But, can you keep the Epstein stuff in the Epstein thread?

Asking for a friend.

He lies all the time you have just become numb to it.  I provided politico as proof. 

Here's the clip that came from inside your source from Politico.  He never once said anything about bleach.  

BTW -- Politico is a left leaning organization.  Therefore they have lying down to an art!

Fox snooze CNN, Trump and his unfit administration whom he hired from the best of the best are a combination of some of everything from registered sex offenders to pod casters.  Wait before you call me a liar look under public information or your reliable news source. 
Again show the whole clip and not sound bites.

Seperation Scientist that is your opinion and we can agree to disagree.

 

Kind of sounds like the Scientist is correct.  It was 100% lawfare.  I'll even give you the benefit of the doubt:  Name one crime that Trump actually committed.  Now remember, if he did, why isn't he in jail?

Hold on.  Again, you offered a Politico article as proof of what you thought Trump said.  THIS video clip was inside YOUR article that YOU gave as proof.   Go back and read your own article.  You'll see it there.  Now, what say say you?

Simple don’t read it. It’s a message board.  Quit responding if it touches your feelings and you’re tired. I may be tired of some of the things that you and others have posted on every thread about liberals, TDS name calling among others but I haven’t broken any rules.  I post information on news articles and because it doesn’t fit your narrative you tired.  Get over it.

I would say I'm more of an independent. I may seem like MAGA because I want accurate information. When I hear the media saying Trump said......I have to go back and actually hear it myself because the media twist it. Example, Epstein case is a joke. He said it but in context about him- he never stated or implied it was directed at the victims....yet that is how the media spun it.  I have a problem with that because I do not like to be lied to.

We are very lucky back when we only had 3 channels to get our news from that we were not brainwashed.

The easiest thing to do is look at the prosecutors!

Deranged Jack Smith? Disqualified Fani Willis? Racist Letitia James? All Dim operatives.   

There is nothing to think about. Every single one of them tried to politically assassinate President Trump via LawFare. 

Trump keeps winning, the bogus lawsuits are getting overturned and now the tables are turned and they are now on the hot seat!

I agree.  He said he would release the files and he also said he would fix the economy  along with ending the war on day one.  HE said he wouldn’t touch Medicare.

once again doing and saying are 2 different things.  He said he had no knowledge of Maxine being moved. He also said his uncle was a professor who taught the unibomber.

I wish everyone would stop thinking about the economy as lowering prices. An economy is simply the circulation of cash. Lots of things contribute to that circulation. New businesses which in turn create new jobs, foreign investments, lowering interest rates so that there is an affordable housing market….etc. I think Trump is doing a fine job. He can’t snap his fingers and lower prices. My wife just fot back from grocery shopping and spent $300+. Thank you Joe Biden.

Right now, we need to circulate a little more cash. Benchmark 30 year notes are running at ~4.85%, and have hit 5% in the last 2 weeks. Not good news. The job market is slowing.

Inflation is running about 2.8% with the benchmark a full 200 basis points higher. Too big a gap. I’m afraid the Fed is a little behind the 8 ball. Employers need lower rates to be able to offset some tariff costs while refinancing debt, and still be able to keep/hire.

IMHO, the Fed should lower rates by 50 basis points in September. The gap between inflation and benchmark needs to come down.

IMHO, Trump’s tariffs are hurting some and helping others. Typical. Overall, needs more time for tariffs to work through the system. Setting the final tariffs (basically the high end for most anyway) should be a big help for business. Now, they can plan. They just need lower borrowing rates until they can get their supply chains worked out where everything isn’t passed to the consumer.

I’d say—from my perspective as an economic data watcher & investor—the economy is ‘okay’, but could really take off with a benchmark rate of around 3.5.

I picked up some select buys for the long term this last business week. NLR is a nuclear ETF that also includes Constellation. Wanted to buy earlier, but didn’t pull the trigger as I got busy doing other things. But, I expect it to be a solid growth/divvie option. It’s gone up over $33 in 3 months with a lot of room to run.

I wouldn’t be buying if I didn’t feel decent for long term. I’m a retired investor. Not a trader. Mainly a dividend investor at this stage with some select emphasis on growth. I buy solid companies at a decent price & hold them. To me, if they’re good enough to buy, they’re good enough to hold. I do the same with my REIT’s and ETF’s.
