Come on now. You make it sound like the President is a dictator who can send armies willy nilly around the globe without having to consult the Pentagon, Congress, or anyone else. On the other hand Clinton has already stolen probably a quarter billion from the FedGov and given it to supporters, who funneled it back to her by way of her Foundation. I can stand an idiot, but not a criminal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that is not the only example, off my bat I can cite the Mexican American war where Prezz Polk unilaterally kept on provoking and blackmailing the Mexicans until he had a war.

Harte Posted June 3, 2016 #155 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Neither example is accidental. In Vietnam, you discount the French, though I can (obviously) understand why. Harte 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half of them knew that what they were fed was BS and voted for it anyway (and later all of the executive denied they wanted a war). Edit: better make that 14, bad in math today.

At least you don't seem to think so. Like I already said, I have no love for Hillary, but Trump is a serious disaster waiting to happen. As a long-term voter I guess I must choose between the two EVILS. The lesser of the two. At least Hillary has actual political world experience (right or wrong) Trump has zero, and is a mouthy loose-cannon that doesn't know (or care) when to shut-up.

And, the reasons for not voting for Donald Trump just keeps piling up with each passing day. Trump University Script Tells Students to Inflate Income A Trump University seminar presentation advised students to try to boost their credit card limit by inflating their annual income by $75,000, according to documents made public in federal court this week. The instruction, legal experts said, could amount to a lesson in bank fraud. “If the caller actually does what they were told to do, that could easily be fraud,” agreed Randall M. Fox, who served as the founding bureau chief of the New York attorney general's taxpayer protection bureau. http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-university-script-tells-students-inflate-income/story?id=39589076 Paul Ryan Denounces Donald Trump's Comments About Federal Judge A day after announcing his support for Donald Trump's presidential campaign, House Speaker Paul Ryan condemned his party's presumptive presidential nominee for his comments about a federal judge's ability to be objective in a case involving the now-defunct Trump University. "The comment about the judge the other day was out of left field, for my mind," the Wisconsin congressman said in an interview with Vicki McKenna, a conservative radio host there. "I completely disagree with the thinking behind that." http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/paul-ryan-denounces-donald-trumps-comments-federal-judge/story?id=39592342[/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted June 3, 2016 #163 Share Posted June 3, 2016 To be fair, anyone trying to get you a loan does that. I was told once I could add $8 a day to my income because that is what lunch would cost and I ate for free at the restaurant I was working in. They will try every trick in the book.

He's sent ships just off the islands that the Chinese are building up in the South China Sea. If the Chinese took that bait and it escalated into a shooting war, you'd need to blame Obama for starting WW3, right? He's also been playing plane tag with the Russians. According to the logic, President Obama shouldn't be elected because he is a crazy, unpredictable warmonger.

I'd have to agree. Hillary has zero political wins on her plate. If you have a baseball player who has struck out every time, but has been around 4 years, do you send him out to bring in the runs, or do you send out the untested rookie, who just might knock it out of the park? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen how easy it is to get loans now? I got preapproved last year for $500K before they even ran my credit, or verified my employment. We might be right back where we started in 2007.

So, regardless or your "pre-approval" letter for a 500k loan, it means absolutely NOTHING until final approval, which does include credit check, asset verification, etc... Just a "feel good" letter, aka SCAM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this is done by every mortgage broker, I believe. The system is almost back to where it was in 2007. Except with much lower interest rates.
