Some of you (you as in the collective you...not you specifically, MV) just take things too personally sometimes. You’re guy didn’t win. Yes, I get it because he was my guy, too. But it’s just enough already (from both sides).



Bro.

Everyone lies about BJs.

Why does everyone think anyone is mad?


I laugh 99.99% of the time because usually it's either funny outright or the person I am addressing is so ignorant it's funny.

Either way, it's funny.

The difference, to me at least, is that one insult is based in make-believe(unless Jeff really did fall from a cliff) and the other is based on reality. I have several friends who have battled such demons and it will never be a joke to me. If that’s me taking something personal, then so be it. Like I said, some things cross the line. And politics have nothing to do with it for me.

I can understand your perspective.

At the end of the day, they were both attempting to devalue one another through their remarks.

But tomorrow is another day. And I have faith it will be better.

All right then.
I don't.
The problem with this ^ is that some of our worst criminals and sociopaths (mental health issue?), seek positions in government.

The dollar is central bank / government currency, so they literally control it all. The solution is money chosen and created by the market, aka “We The People”.

That is achieved by ending the government monopoly protecting the Federal Reserve. Allowing parallel monies / currencies to compete with them would return sovereignty to the private sector, where it belongs.

Agreed. I need to find out how I can get a Dominion machine, and run my brokerage account through it. If anyone can help a brother out with that, I'd be very appreciative. Like so appreciative, I'd take you on a week-long cruise on my mega-yacht in the Greek Isles appreciative.
