    What other thing are you talking about? Please highlight where you said it. A dude that predicts civil and nuclear war every 5 minutes shouldn't call others insane.
  2. I mean I get it. Look at any number of the people here and you see it.
  3. The mental hurdles that people go through on these things are something else. I wish these types of videos would stop though- like people are hypocrites if they want to vote for something...that thesis has been proven true over and over again.

  5. Read the speech today. Dumb speech, dumb placement for it, seems stupidly targeted. Bad idea all around.

    A "winner" he calls himself....

    Hey, what does this latest rate hike mean?

    You are just being a dopey douche at this point. I specifically called out both sides on it. I mentioned one thing Trump did. I specifically mentioned that Biden was part of the problem. I mentioned Biden as the conversation went on because the conversation continued after you got butthurt about it all. Biden didn't put it in place. Trump didn't either. Neither did Obama. Wall Street worked around the rules- and now years of different presidents later it is still there AND the deregulation by Trump happened on top of it. You are just mad because you refuse to read. Again I say: " It is a simple fact Trump signed bills on deregulation of Wall Street in his term. Do you disagree with that? If so, can you please provide links or evidence that he did not so we have something to discuss."

    Hey, what does this latest rate hike mean?

    There is no point in discussing anything with you because you won't read the source material. (Material BTW- as I mentioned- I heard an economist discuss on the podcast mentioned and had only sparingly seen the article.) The article was posted. Regardless of when the problem was found in 2016, why was it never fixed? Obama had some time to officially fix it. Trump had 4 years. Biden has had 2. It still is broken and it is at the very least a partial reason why gas and oil prices have skyrocketed again. It is a simple fact Trump signed bills on deregulation of Wall Street in his term. Do you disagree with that? If so, can you please provide links or evidence that he did not so we have something to discuss. It is not solely a Trump issue. I literally said: "it is not wrong to say part of it has been coming for a long time with policies from Presidents on both sides of the aisle. One factor no one has mentioned yet is when Trump deregulated Wall Street in 2017." That does not mean it was solely a Trump issue and if that if your takeaway that is you just being intentionally obtuse at this point. It is also incredibly naïve to look at stuff like this and think when a new President comes in a reset button gets hit and policies start all over again. Policies that Clinton wrote affected Bush in his presidency. Policies Bush wrote affected Obama in his presidency. Policies Obama wrote affected Trump in his presidency. Policies Trump wrote affected Biden so far. And policies Biden wrote will affect whomever is next. Cycles take time
  9. TBF- Tim has disagreed with me on things also and apparently I'm a raging Bernie Sanders fan here according to people. Which is laughable considering there is zero chance I'd ever vote for Bernie Sanders

    This is literally all he does. He purports himself to be a "winner" yet he posts emojis and attacks people who aren't here without adding anything of substance. I'm sure his "bikini model HOT" wife is super thrilled with him....you know- if she was real.

    So you've chosen to not read the article and just spout nonense?

    Rate the trade deadline deal.

    You did well there and you got the best asset in the trade while also upgrading slightly at QB. Normally the worry might be Chuba and Njoku being healthy but they are clearly just depth pieces.

    Read the article. It isn't as simple as- he ignored the problem

    So no progress on this in the 15 years in between? Or in the fact that they overhauled so much of the process so we could still get a turnout in a pandemic? Also, just for the rebuttal to the 2005 report (and FWIW): https://www.brennancenter.org/sites/default/files/analysis/Response to Carter-Baker Commission.pdf

    That is about the dumbest take you could possibly have based off the article and what was said.

    If polls are viewed in a vacuum then yes they are faulty. If one does what you do looking at trends and one poll to the next and whatnot- things become far clearer in how they can be read and laid out. But in this thread alone we have people who in the past have undercut polls now saying they are great only because they are looking at the result being spit out and not the trend. Of course it's because the trend requires more thought and nuance.

    Hey, what does this latest rate hike mean?

    Yeah that is it. I heard about it from on the Pitchfork Economics podcast a few years ago and I do believe they referenced that article. So as that article mentions- there was an issue years ago. They tried to fix it with Dodd-Frank. Wall Street found a different loophole that even the people who wrote everything hadn't uncovered. Obama's team proposed a fix for it, then Trump got elected and they killed it. As i mentioned in another thread- one of the worst things he did as President was his push to deregulate so many things. I know it's easy to just reflexively blame Biden for things (and he should and does get blame for things he did) but deregulation gets us in to these messes quite a bit.

    You literally said the last thing I mentioned last week... Or was this another occasion where you say something but you aren't actually saying it? Also, this whole comment by you is a particularly fun bit of crazy.

    Hey, what does this latest rate hike mean?

    Prior to them looking at it before the economic crash back late in the decade of the 2000's it was referred to as the "Enron Loophole" I believe. Look it's not my fault you don't know what the word "prior" means Also, there is the standard nothing to counter what I said so you just attack... what a "winner"

    Hey, what does this latest rate hike mean?

    When COVID money went out in 2020 AND in 2021 anyone who understands economics knew it would eventually lead to inflation of some degree. Many economists pointed to that as well. But many of those same economists also said you almost needed to give money to keep the economy afloat- even knowing what was going to happen. So yes- part of it is on Biden. But it is not wrong to say part of it has been coming for a long time with policies from Presidents on both sides of the aisle. One factor no one has mentioned yet is when Trump deregulated Wall Street in 2017. There was a glitch put into the system in like 2012 where Wall Street found a way around regulation of commodities trading when it relates to things like oil and wheat. The Obama team caught it and was trying to fix it but that was right before the 2016 election. Trump's team came in- and blocked the fix they had come up with. Prior to them looking at it before the economic crash back late in the decade of the 2000's it was referred to as the "Enron Loophole" I believe.

    I appreciate the humor involved in the fact that a guy who claims to be a "winner" with a "bikini model HOT wife" () is so determined to try to get one over on me on a fantasy football message board. Yeah- that is something a "winner" tries to do.
