Shall we also ban face masks for bank robbers?
My point is this: If your intent is to enforce the law, as opposed to continually standing down, it doesn't matter one hoot whether the perp is wearing a face mask or not. The jail strip search pretty much bares all.

Re: The Left is Eating Itself Pt. II
Are there ANY classical liberals left? You know, the kind that believe in individual liberties? If so, where are they hiding, and why have they chosen to be silent in the face of all this goofiness?

Re: The Peter Schiff portfolio: an evolutionary offshoot of the PP
Even assuming that Schiff is ultimately right about the outcome of the current debt crisis, it's hard to predict the lengths to which our government might go to make things work out for the elites, on one hand, and the debt-ridden masses on the other. It will be a hard pill to swallow if the assets ...

I'm living proof of the devastation he and his ilk wreaked upon naive investors acting out of fear. I've still got a boatload of miners that have been sitting in an investment account since 2007 and that are still significantly in the red. I not only lost the majority of everything I had saved over ...

You'll notice that they do this only in cities whose officials are seditious pussies. If these mental defectives were to try that outside of these self-designated safe spaces, I suspect the outcome would have been very different.

A question only a PP novice could ask
Could I trouble you'all with a quick question? If you had a modest nestegg to invest, but also wanted to use those funds as "bridge money" to facilitate the transition from an ultra-high-maintenance property to something a bit more manageable, would you go ahead and invest in the PP, knowing that yo...

He was asking whether flyingpylon's suggestion applied to the pro-Trump ones. It didn’t, because the discussion was specifically about Trump.

Re: Will Trump be Re-elected?
I'm convinced that many people would sooner sacrifice their happiness and prosperity than forgo their insane obsession with Trump. In fact, I think Trump has become a one-size-fits-all excuse for many people for their failure to do anything productive with their lives.

Re: Long Term Care
The problem is that LTC insurance is unlikely to be much help, given the structure of covering only the first 2-3 years. For many people that's ok since most are in nursing homes less than that time, but by the same token that should be a piece of cake for a couple with a big retirement portfolio. ...

It's interesting, though, to speculate why all of a sudden this time-honored tradition is not only being called out, but prosecuted.

Re: Largest College Admissions Scam Includes Hollywood Actresses and Coaches
Well said, Tyler. Are we supposed to be shocked and dismayed to learn that the elite grease the skids for their kids when it comes to both college admissions and jobs? Makes you wonder who's on the grill to have warranted such a strange expose.
