Wait…you know I don’t follow the trials?
You know this because I send you a half dozen Trump courtroom failures a day that you pretended you didn’t read (despite referencing) because the facts presented contradict your ridiculous narrative? Silly boy. Because you can’t comprehend what’s happening doesn’t mean others aren’t following along. 😂 I can only explain it to you, I can’t understand it for you.

Trump insiders are beginning to publicly wonder what they’ll do when Trump isn’t their candidate, admitting that his mental state is not at all well and deteriorating rapidly under the pressure of trial(s), his court cases are hurting badly (despite claims they would help) and he’s refusing to campaign even in his 3 free days a week out of court (he needs that money, can’t waste it on rallies).

Meanwhile Biden speaks off the cuff at events like the correspondent dinner (that Trump avoided like a coward knowing he couldn’t tell jokes or be funny even with the teleprompter) where he once again killed it on stage, being sharp, witty, and with great timing. Sleepy Joe sure is bright eyed and bushy tailed, rational and intelligent, vibrant and focused whenever you see him unedited, must be adrenochrome, right?

The RNC has a maximum of 6 months to dump Trump, but he knew that was coming and nepatized the RNC 100% so now it’s nothing but a cash cow for his personal legal bills and won’t drop him if he’s in prison. He decimated the entire party. So much for “I won’t take a dime, I’m going to self fund my campaign”, right? Now he takes every dime and doesn’t spend any of his money at all, he even pays himself to stay at his own properties. 😂 Just another blatant lie you ignore in a never ending string of lies.

Yep Trump will loose in his highly biased Judge and Jury, Just like all the other trials. Trump will have to win on appeals, dealing with less biased judges.

I know you dont follow the trials, Your IQ is too low to follow.

On the other hand Joey B mental capacity is failing daily.
When do you think the DNC will SWAP him and the useless VP? The DNC got 4 months to dump sleepy Joe.

Supreme Court Ethics: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

newtboy says...

*doublepromote a *quality cash *money offer…I hope it’s accepted. The Supreme Court is not supposed to be a cash cow for the justices, they get paid a decent wage, and can make millions above board and legally by writing books and speaking. Taking a dime from anyone with business before the court should be instant disbarment and prison, selling “justice” to the highest bidder is about as anti American as it gets, IMO.

Liberal Redneck - Nuclear Dealbreaker

bobknight33 says...

The Iran deal was a joke, a personal pledge from Obama and his circle of cohorts to make a political pledge ti Iran. This agreement has no legal standing, otherwise Trump could not have been able to walk away from it so easily.

It was nothing more than Obama's political pledge.

I think the real real deal was this adventure was a cash cow for those involved.

vil said:

No he did not.

This is really circular if all the definition of "right" you have is that Donald did it and all the definition of "wrong" is that Obama did.

What is the positive outcome we should be looking forward to?

Liberal Redneck - Nuclear Dealbreaker

bobknight33 says...

The agreement was legally worthless.
If it was then Trump would not have been to back away from it.

It was nothing more than Obama's political pledge.

I think the real real deal was this adventure was a cash cow for those involved.

You blew it when you stood me up on our date, don't come beg/crying back now...no love for you.

I began with the congressional bill you claimed didn't exist by stating...
"Congress had nothing to do with authorizing this."
...and followed with multiple articles that delineated exactly what the republican led congress did.

Can you dispute a single fact presented, or do you simply dismiss the fact checking entirely because it's not from a source politically right of faux news?
Left "leaning" compared to your normal hyper right opinion articles is hardly disqualifying without contradiction, and I don't accept the label anyway. Calling out Republicans for lying 3-1 over Democrats is actually right leaning when you consider they lie >5-1. (For example: Tax breaks don't benefit the rich, I didn't pay off my mistresses and those payoffs I made 2 weeks before the election to hide years old events had nothing to do with the election, my campaign had no contact with Russia, a republican pedophile is better than an upstanding Democrat, homosexuality is an abomination unless we get caught at the gloryhole, .....I could go on forever VS 'I didn't see an issue using a personal server for government emails', and "I did not have sexual relations with that woman".)

Right thing for who? Not for regional stability.

Martin Freeman in New Series 'Fargo'

FlowersInHisHair says...

I'm not sure. Fargo is a great film, one of my favourites, but it's old now and it's hardly a great big cash-cow franchise, so it seems like more of a gamble than a safe-bet. I mean, I'll bet the mainstream audience don't remember the film at all, let alone fondly enough to make a series a sure-fire winner. I hope the writers have a good story up their sleeves.

"Pop culture on the skids", if you want to put it that way, is better exemplified by another reboot of Battlestar Galactica (happening) or a series based on C-tier characters from the Marvel Universe (Agents of Shield) or the new Spider-Man film series. Or a Nirvana/Kurt Cobain musical (also on the cards). Compared to all that crap, a Fargo series sounds brand-new.

A series as a nod to Fargo screams rehash of pop-culture on the fucking skids and a reason to spend your cable money on learning to plasma-weld or something.....

What Systema looks like once you've reached a certain level

JustSaying says...

The reason MMA fights are more likely ending with getting choked out than having your limbs broken is quite simple. If you are the guy who breaks everybodys shit, nobody will want to fight you anymore because broken bones take you out of fighting (the thing you do to make money), training (the thing that allows to compete on such a level in the first place) and the enjoyments of life (ever tried to masturbate with two broken hands?) for weeks. Weeks or erven months.
Nobody will book you or allow you in their competitions anymore because 30 second fights aren't that interesting (which is why proffesional boxing matches rarely turn out to be like Muhammad Ali vs random guy from the audience), getting qualified and equal fighters as opponents becomes next to impossible (see above) and "liability" would be the word promoters mutter in their sleep while having nightmare about faceless lawyers.
MMA isn't the Kumite from Bloodsport. MMA matches are a business and their cash cows are their fighters otherwise it would be just bum fights. You can't milk a cow with a broken udder. But you can choke its nipples until the milk flows, you just gotta have the right technique.

World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor Announcement Trailer

HugeJerk says...

I'd heard that they've refocused on WoW, stopped treating it like a b-team project when they realized it was still their cash cow and their new games weren't pulling in the money they'd hoped.

Syria -- what is really going on and why

shveddy says...

Haha,

So destroying prospects for an Iran-Iraq-Syria-Pakistan-China pipeline via massive social engineering, extensive multi decade wars and risky political espionage is somehow cheaper than just good old price competition?

The Suez Canal is a much more direct threat to the trans-Israel pipeline (just look at a map to see what I mean) and clearly there is no massive, violent international conspiracy to suppress trade through that canal - Israel just undercuts their prices.

And for that matter, it's not like the trans Israel pipeline is some massive cash cow that is secretly protected at all costs. It's max capacity is only 400000 barrels per day - that's nothing as far as Israel is concerned profit-wise and definitely pathetic by Chinese daily demand-wise.

There is a grain of truth in every conspiracy: of course AIPEC is probably too influential, and of course the various wars going on right now have some economic incentives, but let's not be dumb about our accusations if we want to be taken seriously.

Zero Punctuation: Diablo 3

shagen454 says...

Not playing it how Blizzard intended for it to be played is exactly why there is such an uproar over the game in the first place. Everyone wants to have their way with their Blizzard game and Blizzard ain't complying. Yeah the DRM sucks but there isn't all that much different in Diablo 3 than any other recent Blizz title. It's a scheme. Anyone who has played any of their games since War3 knows that the games are multi-tiered so what at first seems like a simple, boring, repetitive game ends up being finely tuned & crafted in the end. By ACT III on Nightmare mode it becomes apparent and if one doesn't get that far into the game then they really shouldn't be giving it a review because they should just know better from the get-go.

It's got some of the best multiplayer aspects that I've had in recent memory, running relentlessly across vast floors trying to avoid pools of Hell, or encountering impossible zombie mobs moving 50% faster than normal. It's a lot of fun. Blizzard is a different company than they were back in the day, I don't like it as nearly as much as the first Diablo, for sure... but it's still fantastic. It's still Blizzard. Great mechanics - for what it is - better art direction than most games, great sound and the absolute insanity of it on the more difficult modes where it really comes together. Yeah there are a lot of things that piss me off about D3...

I must admit it seems to me like Blizz didn't give it their all on this one... maybe so they can make sure people go back to their cash cow
The levels are barely random, what the ^%$# is up with the lag? There is too much loot like Yahtzee said, the normal mode IS too easy, nightmare & normal are light/day... don't waste our time. The art direction is great... but not as great as I'd expect from Blizz, muddy textures, accesses the hard-drive too frequently, some of those "cut-scenes" are whack, on Hell mode the random encounters are more difficult than the main quests, no in game auction house? Why the hell is that loot popup menu always there? The story is dumb as fuck. But, regardless that is what the Diablo series is - not much innovation here except in chaos and mechanics and that is good enough for me. We can't compare every Blizz game to WoW... and that is exactly why D3 is great, it's like WoW-ultralite meets Left For Dead, nothing wrong with that.

SKYFALL - Official Teaser Trailer

kymbos says...

Look, Casino Royale showed up twenty years of Bond films to be the mindless derivative drivel that they were.

The film reintroduced the darkness that was at the heart of Bond that hasn't been seen, arguably, since the death of Bond's just-married wife at the end of the highly underrated "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" (which coincidentally had the best soundtrack of all Bond films). That was in 1969.

Some would contend that Timothy Dalton captured the true essence of Bond's dark moodiness in his too-short stint as Bond in The Living Daylights and Licence to Kill - but he had the advantage of actually being able to act, a skill no one could accuse Pierce Brosnan of bringing to the franchise.

I believe that the Bourne films effectively modernised Bond and the franchise was forced to follow, after years of meandering aimlessly with Brosnan whose films retained a misplaced focus on gadgets and 'witty' lines. There is a place for these, but they superseded plot, character and genuine style. Product placement became too much of a cash cow as well (although I hear an agreement has been made to replace Bond's signature martini with Heineken in Skyfall).

Casino Royale returned Bond to his rightful place. Bourne is great, but he's no Bond. Compared to CR, Quantum of Solace was indeed inferior. But Yogi is right - it was way better than every Brosnan Bond film, which were total disappointments to genuine fans.

So there.

Bank of America Adds Monthly Debit Card Fee

Sagemind says...

OK, wait.

Dear Bank of America:
This card is the banks idea, your idea. We didn't ask for it.

It was established to curve the rising costs of moving money around. It costs money to move coin from one location to the next. Paper money costs money to print and replace as it deteriorates. Moving money electronically greatly decreases the instance of hold-ups and robbery.

I remember having arguments with bank managers who wouldn't let me stand in line at the bank - I had to use the machine. The bank in question had someone in-line asking each person in the teller line-up what their transaction was and diverting everyone they could to the machines.

Saying that the card system costs the banks money and the consumer must pay the price of having one is absurd. This is YOUR cost of doing business. I currently pay a bank service charge which includes my ability to have a card. I am allowed a limited number of transactions per month, after that I am charged per transaction (30¢ each). I am also charged a $1 fee every time I use a bank machine from a different bank (interac connected). Further, there are machines strategically located (example inside the movie theater) where they charge an extra $3 to make a withdrawl - which is robbery because they pulled the debit from the theater and force you to use these machines if you need cash for the concession.

For us to pay extra fees and pay for fraud coverage is also a scam. The system the bank uses is faulty, it always has been and they know it. To charge us fees to cover losses for a system that by design is easy to fraud is a sham. If they can't figure out a fraud free system, why are we using it? Fix the dam system. Adding a chip that can be scanned from a foot away as someone walks by is a faulty system and no better than the strip it replaced.

Clearly, the card is a cash cow that was instituted as a money scheme from the beginning. The banks pull more money from clients with the invention of these cards than anyone realizes. That combined with accounts that never pay interest, or so little that it's invisible, Overdraft fees, Service fees, and every other fee aside from you investing our money and grossing profit while it sits with you is the tip of the iceburg.

Your take from us is not unlike taxes, we are forced to pay it. Our pie is getting smaller and smaller while you keep asking for bigger and bigger pieces. Housing costs have skyrocket, mortgage rates, insurance rates and all the other plates that want a piece of the monthly pie. By the end of the month, there is little, if nothing, left for all our hard work.

And for all that, you slap us in the face and try to institute another fee just because you think you can. Are you that disconnected with the patrons that grace your bank with their business? You work for us and only when we ask you to. If we come to shop at your place of business, you should be grateful and pander to your clients. Not throw leg-irons on us and laugh at us behind our backs.

Thanks for listening.. (I wish)

Obama Has Dictatorial Power To Confiscate Europe's Gold

GeeSussFreeK says...

>> ^sirex:

its ok, the usa owns the chinese ! Maybe he meant "owes" the chinese.... and maybe enough to go bankrupt.


When you owe someone tons of money, it is easier to dictate the terms. Look at most credit card settlements. The CC holds all the cards, but more often then not settle for much less than the contractual amount. Once a debt is sufficiently large, enough to jeopardize ANY return, the debtor has more power than one would normal consider. A cash cow can quickly turn to a liability if it isn't handled correctly. If a debtor knows his stuff, he can put considerable strain on the debt holder. It isn't common sense, but he is correct.
