Good life lesson.

He’s posted some stuff at DT before which would have put him in his early 70s. Now he’s in his 60s. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Good life lesson: always take anything EB says with a massive grain of salt.

No I didn't. I've always been up front
about exactly what my age is.
Quote: MintyDoes anyone really benefit from this much time before the election?
Sure.
The cable news stations and the NY Times.
CNN viewership alone was up 76% in 2016 due to the Donald Trump Show.
Trump hate news revived what was the "dying NY Times” in 2016.
In 2017, their digital subscriptions surpassed $1 billion.
“Mark Thompson, the chief executive of The Times, said the company was pleased with the “continued strong retention” among the users who subscribed to The Times amid the 2016 presidential election.”
Show’s over once Trump leaves office. Then it’s back to survival mode.

That gives them almost 6 more years to make every dollar possible.
Just another example of Trump providing economic prosperity for anyone with vision and work ethic.
Quote: MintyThe campaign cycle really should be shorter. Does anyone really benefit from this much time before the election? It just exhausts and antagonizes everyone
Besides the cable news networks there is the political-industrial complex. These people produce little of value and live as leeches in DC. Sort of like some groupie to a neighborhood gangster, hoping a few ill-gotten bucks get thrown their way.
A guy like Beta announces and gets several million in early donations. He hires "advisors." A very few, Dick Morris comes to mind, will give good advice. Any pol does need 1-2 around him to give a detached look. Others give dubious advice, for example when Algore hired a woman to teach him to be a more alpha male (you can't make this stuff up!)
A reason the establishment hates Trump is he did not hire many of these people, instead going on raw instinct about what people care about.
So Beta hires an advisor. Advisor will end up hiring some firm or firms to poll and focus-group people. All to fine-tune a message, which he probably does not have at the moment. Some money may go to hire fundraisers to get even more money.

Do you think there is a single executive at CNN/MSNBC/NYTimes/etc. that has said out loud at a business meeting that they want Trump to get re-elected? I think he is CLEARLY good for their business.

I am checking my list to see if any other names jump out at me...maybe a neighbor or something...
There were 1,762 registered in 2016 so expect the list to grow!!
And this old white guy who “disrespected” one of his potential competitors according to this writer.
Just another case of white liberals trying to keep a female minority down.
Desperate water boy Colbert ended it with a cheap shot about David Duke and Steve Bannon, which she answered handily.

I'm thinking Tanko meant someone of political relevance. I disagree with the stance; it's too soon for much change.

Lighten up Francis.
Anyone willing to bet this fool will be forgotten by the 3rd Democratic debate when they sort candidates based on polls.
Glad this drunk driver didn’t kill anyone to time the one he got caught. And hopefully no one kills themself when he is made to look like a fool before the likes of Kamal-Toe.
Perhaps old Willie Brown will still let you s#$k him off. It may not help you like it did Harris, but he will enjoy it just the same. After all su***** Clinton off didn’t help Monica, but it sure helped Hillary become the 45th President of the United States. Of wait, never mind.

Yeah, you could have started with "never mind" and been more worth the read. Yuck.
That said, I don't think Beto will get the nomination, so no bet.
OTOH, I saw Pete B. in an extended interview. He's pretty compelling.

Are you really this dumb, or do you just play that way to troll everyone?
"Enemy of the party" = doesn't toe the party line on intervention, regime change, etc.
"make her a non-person" = stop reporting on her campaign, not give her any time so as to render her campaign impotent
I <3 Tulsi, I may vote for her in the Dem primary if she's still in it when MA goes to the polls. As an Unenrolled voter I can participate in either party's primary (not both though). Sadly, for the reasons Tanko mentions, she probably won't make it out of New Hampshire. War is big business, and powerful people desire us to stay engaged overseas way above the level that we should be.
I have no idea what she stands for overall, but from what I have seen, I kinda like her.Quote: TankoNewest Enemy of the Party Tulsi Gabbard more eloquently saying what Trump has been saying all along. Criticizing the CIA and Obama's war mongering foreign policies. Audience ate it up.

Do you believe the following statements are personal insults?
"Reading comprehension isn't your strong suit, is it?"
and
"Simple minds often prefer simple solutions."
I get the mods don’t see everything, but if you are not the person that might feel insulted, why act slighted?
It’s like 3rd grade here with some feeling they have to tell on everyone and be closet Mods.

Maybe people should stop complaining...but maybe people should stop trying to slip in thinly-masked insults all the time. Everyone may make a mistake now and then, but many have forgotten to attack the writing, not the writer.

Interesting tweet from him:
"Tmrw at 11 am ET, we will be holding a press conference to disclose a major high school/college basketball scandal perpetrated by @Nike that we have uncovered. This criminal conduct reaches the highest levels of Nike and involves some of the biggest names in college basketball."

run from prison.

I believe he said Hillary would make her announcement in May or June....

June, and she's chomping at the bit.
Now that Avenatti is (probably) gone,
she has a wide open field..
That’s way more shocking to me than them nailing Avenatti.
CNN has already said Geragos is no longer a paid contributor on their network.

Weren't you singing the praises
of Geragos a couple weeks ago
when he took on Jussie Smollett
as a client? He's also Colin Kapernack's
lawyer, and CK works for Nike.
What a news day.

Nope. I’ve never “sung the praises” of Geragos.
He’s good at getting his celebrity clients out of hot water (Smollett will not see the inside of a jail cell), but he’s a slime ball just like most lawyers.
Quote: MaxPenGot some election shopping done early. Probably gonna need some protection from exploding Leftie heads when Trump inevitably gets elected again.
If their head didn’t explode in 2016, it ain’t exploding in 2020. As the incumbent, his odds of winning should be better in 2020 than they were in 2016.

All this #winning is really getting boring.
Quote: MaxPenGot some election shopping done early. Probably gonna need some protection from exploding Leftie heads when Trump inevitably gets elected again.
Are we sure he's even going to be on the ticket again? Judging by how he's acted the last 2+ years, he's been the whiniest, most thin-skinned, chicken s*** President in my lifetime. I don't know if he'll be able to handle the pressure of four more years.
I do think it would be kind of funny if Hillary DID decide to run again, and lost to him AGAIN.

Now Garragos
Why do people hire him?
He wasn't even in court when the jury found his client , Scott Peterson, guilty of murder. No lawyer misses the verdict, except Garragos
Quote: terapinedWow

Bank fraud in MS, submitting false tax
returns to get loans. Stealing from a
client in Calif. Trying to shake down
Nike for $20 mil.
I think these are all fed crimes, so the
FBI has been up Avenatti's butt for
awhile. He obviously knew nothing
about it or he would never have
attempted the Nike thing last week.
Avenatti was on CNN 74 times, talking
about Trump being frog walked out
of the Oval. I wonder if the irony
occurred to him as HE was being frog
marched today.

Even after what happened today, there
will still be people who 100% believe the
woman he brought forth to testify
against Kavanaugh. And there's another
charge in California, he owes a ton of
back child support.
Now the authorities will look at everything
he's done for the last 10 years and God

been pulling this crap for a long time.

Trump just said Republicans are going to be known as the party of healthcare.
WELL, we know what that means. It's cheaper to just bury people than treat them.

Sure thing, I'll let you know as soon as the 16+ ongoing investigations directly or tangentially involving Trump are complete. Then we'll know for sure.
