Shit keeps hitting the fan. Donald keeps standing in front of the fan saying how great he is. I heard an interesting description of Trump as compared to Warren Buffet. Buffet is a wealth builder. Trump is a cash extractor. It's how he helped kill his own casino. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

| petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | Then somebody doesn't know how Berkshire Hathaway got started with Buffet buying company's and parting them out. http://www.omaha.com/money/buffett/berkshire-hathaway-the-textile-mill-where-it-all-started/article_703618c7-3182-572f-b56e-f8d9998d7d46.html That is what he is famous for, buying company's whose parts were worth more than their total, and gutting them to sell off the pieces.

I don't see that in the article you posted. What companies did they parcel and part? Buffet bought Berkshire Hathaway, a failing textile industry, in a fit of pique. He then started buying insurance companies. Textiles were in the Berkshire Hathaway portfolio until the mid 1980's. What they do is buy whole companies and continue to grow them. Quite different from driving up corporate debt, paying CEOs and stockholders from the debt, and then drive the company out of business.

| terapined Member since: Aug 6, 2014 Threads: 73 Posts: 11791 | Trump is tweeting again that Mexico will pay for the wall ROTFL What a moron "The Wall will be paid for, directly or indirectly, or through longer term reimbursement, by Mexico, which has a ridiculous $71 billion dollar trade surplus with the U.S. The $20 billion dollar Wall is “peanuts” compared to what Mexico makes from the U.S. NAFTA is a bad joke!" Trump does not realize Republicans control the Presidency, House and Senate yet he blames the Dems for a shutdown ROTFL What a moron "A government shutdown will be devastating to our military...something the Dems care very little about!"

He could rape his daughter while he strangles a puppy, live on TV, and his base would not be bothered at all. Trump is the symptom, his base is the disease. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

| Nareed Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 346 Posts: 12545 | Much Trump apologia lately heralds the fact that nothing terrible has happened since Trump’s inauguration.One can take strong issue with that claim, of course, but it misses the point that Trump has already damaged and weakened US alliances, US leadership, and the free press. If we don’t have outright censorship now it’s because Trump is ignorant of law and policy, superbly incompetent, and because he needs what he calls “fake news” to rile up his base. But he’s sowing the seeds of mistrust and hostility towards a free press, that some future president could take advantage of in order to establish censorship or even outright state control of the press.

This is true. They could push Bush around like a child, and they can't do that with The Donald. He has them tied up in knots, lol.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
