ZonkerHarris's JournalRoger Stone has publicly claimed he was not read his Miranda Rights by the FBI
when arrested.
I don't believe him.
If the FBI has video of him being read his rights they should release the clip and then get the Judge to issue a gag order on Stone on comments publicly and to the press because of the lie.
That's how you deal with a liar.
So DU, when do we get our Kamala Harris Group in the Democrats section?
I know some of us would like to talk and plan without intrusion.
Warren, Biden, Sanders all have their groups.
Maybe we should take over the Lincoln Chafee group space? Not much happening there...
I think we can all agree that today also showed Paul Ryan was the worst Speaker of the House ever
He would not even bring up the bill the Senate passed before the shutdown after trump said no.
Speaker Pelosi showed him how to hold the gavel and be in charge instead of being led around by the privates by a loud faction of your caucus.
Trump will accept a deal to end the shutdown in order to get the news off Roger Stone
Go get 'em Nancy & Chuck!
Time for Trump to cave.
The headline news tonight should be Republicans voted against a bill that they previously voted for.
that's why the government is still shut down.
The GOP Senators have changed their minds, just like Trump.
They were for it, before they were against it.
GOP hypocrisy again.
Bloomberg Calls (Marijuana) Legalization 'Stupidest Thing Ever Done'
Buh bye Bloomberg
https://www.leafly.com/news/politics/bloomberg-calls-legalization-stupidest-thing-ever-done
Here’s one way to stand out in a crowded pack of Democratic presidential candidates: Go on the radio and shoot yourself in the foot.
Former New York mayor and one-time presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg blasted cannabis law reform efforts Tuesday. Bloomberg went on the radio station WBNG and said taxing and regulating cannabis — instead of locking mostly young people of color up for it — “is perhaps the stupidest thing anybody has ever done.”
We could think of stupider things, like mulling a presidential run after calling most voters stupid for supporting legalization by 61 percent in the US, and 75 percent among Democrats. Ten states have ended the marijuana war. More than one in five Americans live in a legal adult-use state.
More dangerously, Bloomberg tied liberalization of cannabis — which has no lethal overdose level — to America’s opioid overdose epidemic, echoing former Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ talking points. “Last year, in 2017, 72,000 Americans OD’d on drugs,” Bloomberg said. “In 2018, more people than that are OD-ing on drugs, have OD’d on drugs, and today, incidentally, we are trying to legalize another addictive narcotic, which is perhaps the stupidest thing anybody has ever done.”
That might be a catchy radio sound bite, but it misleads citizens. First, cannabis is not a narcotic. Studies conclude cannabis carries less risk for psychological addiction — or physical dependence — than more toxic, legal drugs such as nicotine and alcohol, let alone legal opioids (which are narcotics). Still, the federal government deems cannabis more medically useless and far riskier than opioid drugs like vicodin and codeine.
Trader says he has 'no money at risk,' then promptly loses almost 2,000%
The bubble is building again and Trump is pushing us to a recession because Putin wants to destroy us.

Investing legend Jack Bogle once said that “if you have trouble imagining a 20% loss in the stock market, you shouldn’t be in stocks.”
He didn’t mention anything about a 2,000% loss though.
That’s where 1R0NYMAN comes in. The anonymous trader/internet hero created a stir on Reddit earlier this month with this absolute corker of a trade .
It’s called a box spread, a four-sided options strategy billed, in theory, as a riskless arbitrage play using call and put options. In this case, it started with a $5,000 “investment” executed through Robinhood, a no-commission trading platform.
(see graph)
Clearly, 1R0NYMAN figured it was a slam dunk.
“I have no money at risk,” he responded to those questioning his approach in Reddit’s raucous “Wall Street Bets” group. “It literally cannot go tits up.”
Famous last words.
Even one of the group’s moderators pleaded, “DO NOT DO THIS,” pointing out the potential downside. But that didn’t stop 1R0NYMAN.
A few days and some unforeseen twists later, he shared the results:
there's a graphic online for this...
So, almost $58,000 in losses and the account gets shut down. This debacle was red meat for the “Wall Street Bets” crowd, as the memes poured in:
Greta Van Fleet on SNL sent me into a flashback...
The only way I can explain this fantastic Greta Van Fleet performance is that Creedence Clearwater Revival must've made a wish to be younger on a Zoltar machine, then got the love child of Roger Daltrey and Geddy Lee to sing lead on a song Bob Dylan forgot to write in 1974.
Publicly announcing your offer in a negotiation is an amateur move
Publicly announcing your offer in a negotiation is an amateur move.
Big time Amateur move. He’s just posing.
Trump thinks he’s a big boy because he’s negotiating in public now.
He’s like a little kid on the diving board at the pool.
He’s all “mom, mom, mom! Mom! Mom look at me I’m negotiating!”
He’s only doing it this way because he doesn’t have the guts, repeat he doesn’t have the guts, to do it across a conference table looking someone in the face.
big news, Trump will summit with Kim Jong un, again. Snooooooze
Oh golly, another meeting.
Maybe on their third date he'll get lucky.
