Donald Fires FBI Director who's investigating Russian Election Hacking

Fwiw that's 1000x larger than $1 trillion. In US usage at least, not sure about Europe and too lazy to Google right now.

Yeah I added too many zeroes. Soon it will be the amount of the national debt anyway.

20T to 1000T, on the exponential curve of the past 16 years, looks like this. Doubles every Presidential 8 years we let some idiot-savant demagogue hold sway for the term limit....

20, 40, 80, 160, 320, 640, 1280.... about 46 years, when the Fed will have to peg interest rates at 0.1% to keep the US "solvent" enough to "service the debt", paying out 1T annually in interest to whoever claims to own the fiat currency as it rolls off the press. oh, duh, "The Fed", not us.

I have never figured out why when "we" print fiat currency, it is somehow an asset on the books of some private unaudited creature run by bankers. not us.

If we print the checks and send them out to various client voter block folks, how does it show up on our books as our debt?
 
I'm sure when Donald cuts taxes, builds a wall, and increases defense spending (hell let's throw another war in there. Kim's been asking for it), our national deficit will become a surplus. #MAGA
 
I imagine there is really no way to every know exactly, and that is how the politicians want it, as it would drive some level of accountability if there were any level of transparency. As it is we talk about all this in huge numbers that no regular person can really fathom. Can you picture $1 trillion? I can't. And in the end those numbers become meaningless noise realistically. $25,000 is just a drop in the bucket compared to $1,000,000,000,000,000.

thats why it shouldb be split. road taxes everybody pays fair share!

gov spents 1triliion on roads. taxpayers pay 1 trillion transparancy!

I think a trillion gets more than roads, really. Airports, ports, high-speed rails, a canal network so we can float stuff from coast to coast.

Bill Gates can pay for the transparency.

I've always said one thing about anyone who holds a debt against someone else... You have to be able to collect.

I'm not saying this as a joke. No one on this planet can enforce their claim against the U.S.. No one can collect the credit they extended to the U.S.. The U.S. pays because it's in the United State's interest to pay. As soon as that changes the U.S. will say to our lenders "Come and get your money." No one can make us pay. No one. Not China, not even close.

Even if the entire world closed ranks on the US we could simply maintain ourselves and proper. Any attempt to invade the mainland would end in nuclear war.

Best they could do is have the rest of the world turn their backs on America. They won't.
 
Appears to be a key development in Mueller's investigation:

http://www.businessinsider.com/muel...ussia-linked-facebook-ads-and-accounts-2017-9

"The Facebook warrant "means that Mueller has concluded that specific foreign individuals committed a crime by making a 'contribution' in connection with an election," Mariotti wrote on Saturday.

"It also means that he has evidence of that crime that convinced a federal magistrate judge of two things: first, that there was good reason to believe that the foreign individual committed the crime. Second, that evidence of the crime existed on Facebook."

That has implications for Trump and his associates, too, Mariotti said.

"It is a crime to know that a crime is taking place and to help it succeed. That's aiding and abetting. If any Trump associate knew about the foreign contributions that Mueller's search warrant focused on and helped that effort in a tangible way, they could be charged."
 
How to read Bob Mueller's hand. Not a wishful thinking kind of thing....

http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/09/18/how-to-read-bob-mueller-hand-215616

you still believe this crap?

it's like giving a speeding ticket to someone the officer specifically dislikes, and has followed around for weeks doing nothing but tail the person he's out to cite. While thousands of motorists all around are speeding 15 mph, he cites his target for 1 mph over, and it's all on the officer's cams.

this is malicious prosecution, nothing more.

Seriously, do you believe no Dem candidate knew of hundreds of foreign "contributions"? Do you believe Hillary's various solicitations of foreign government officials' payola should be ignored while stupid Mueller goes on with this witch hunt?
 
funny how trump was called crazy for saying he was wiretapped.

saw cnn saying today he was wiretapped.

either cnn was lying way back when or they are lying now

F them.


but the crucified trump for saying he was wiretapped

but... they could stop lending

that's what happens when economies collapse under the weight of their debt. Nobody invaded Greece, still sucked.

CNN was reporting what was known then and they are reporting what is known now.

Like do you even understand how stuff works?
 
I think he does, well enough. It's fun, in his view, to use this switch to show how wrong the news can be.

I think it was known well enough then, but CNN had an axe to grind and thought they could do it. It has just gotten impossible to keep up that position. Primarily because of Breitbart, Levin, Jones, Hannity, and the R politicians outing stuff on the dems in their proceedings or hearings.

The troll apparently believes that Donald Trump and Paul Manafort are one and the same person. I believe CNN said Manafort was wiretapped, but, hey, the troll is entitled to be stupid. The troll also appears to believe the FISA surveillance was unjustified. The fact that it was originally granted beginning in 2014 is also going over his head. I've seen many of the Trump pinhead brigade making these same brilliant observations since this news broke.

I believe there is a Special Council investigating Russian interference in the 2016 American presidential election. I believe his name is Robert Mueller. Virtually anything else that you presume I believe is most likely a product of your vivid imagination.

I like how you're wrong so much.

It wouldn't surprise me if it was suppressed to some degree. I don't think the premise of the news networks acting politically is unfounded.

Not defending the President, instead I am just casting a little shade on the networks and how they operate.
 
lols


they called him an idiot, a liar a paranoid dude

Which is all true...

But please, separate out what people like me say about the President based on what is reported vs what is reported. That or link the CNN article that specifically calls Trump "an idiot, a liar and a paranoid dude." Thing is, that's not how a journalist writes. People, like you, who want to call out a news agency who don't understand the basic rules of journalism... it's dumb. I'm done talking to you again. Not sure why I even started?
