Does the FBI EVER follow proper protocols? Serious question.

Ben Shapiro is such a wanker. I don’t believe that stat though. They gave $30+ mil alone to Trump last cycle.

People may be fired but it speaks to how difficult stopping a loan wolf is.

I apologize for being an absolute ass (I find the need to do that quite often – apologize, that is), but I chuckled and was powerless to help myself.

Are we back to a discussion of usury?

Am I alone in this?



Regardless, Buster, I do agree with your assessment.

I've been so tempted during the past year to write a long post to you using every common wrong version of a word, grammatical mistake, misuse of words, and common Internet verbal bungling I could think of just to drive you to a breakdown. I might of done it but its a waist of my time as it wouldn't effect you, their wouldn't be much point too it, an you'd think it was just more silly dribble on this sight.

Nah.

As Readers Digest asserted, Laughter Is The Best Medicine.

(The feature was usually on page 64 or thereabouts).




On a grim side note: when my niece asked me to review and edit a draft of an obituary notice she'd written for her father; my brother, this past April, I made recommendations on style and content. I missed an obvious spelling error that my twin sister noiced immediately.

I blame it on youse guys for my "auto-correcting" while reading your posts.
I cut a lot of slack due to your "typing messages on phones with miniature keyboards while at work or Costco or your preferred 'adult' beverage store."

I chuckle often but only comment occasionally (now) when I snort loudly.

I have clearly established a reputation but no longer care to suffer the abuse it sometimes carries.



I 've become pariah-phobic in my dotage ... a smidgen.

FYI,

There is a movement on social media right now that students are going to organize a student walkout nationwide on April 20.

Especially when you don't follow up on credible leads. It is funny how easily they found one of my customer's daughters in Laguna Beach during the Napster investigation. I guess downloading music illegally is higher on the priority chain.

I lurk in the threads quite a bit. My interest is officially piqued with this post and have a question for you:

How do you decide what to believe and what not to? Do you have a certain criteria? Just curious.

George Soros spent 9 million himself in Local DA races alone between 2015-17. I guess it is the cause that matters to you not the money. Maybe if Soros was Russian and not Hungarian you would care about his influence in elections also.

Sounds like the very epitome of a "soft target." These kids are going to get someone killed.

I believe that people have agendas. And Ben Shapiro has been shown on numerous occasions to misrepresent and mislead posing as someone with facts. I don’t believe things without doing my own research. Shocking I know. So I am skeptical from the outset. As I haven’t evaluated all of the expenditures by Unions it seems very diengenuous on the surface to compare a single policy like the NRA and “Unions” who have many many differet policies they lobby for. It is The MO of Shapiro though to misrepresent and conflate two things though. I understand that so I take what he says with a large dose of salt.

For example This link shows NRA spending outlays for this cycle at $400+ mil alone. While that includes political contributions and lobbying efforts I don’t know how Shapiro is getting his numbers. I am skeptical. He could be right and that is fine. But he did conflate NRA ops with UNION ops and that is dishonest intellectually, IMO.

https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2017/11/audit-shows-nra-spending-surged-100-million-amidst-pro-trump-push-in-2016/

I get it though. I am considered a very biased person on this forum as of late in particular because of Trump. That’s fine. I accept that people have a hard time dealing with me because I hold strong positions that are anti-GOP. I hold anti Dem positions too but that doesn’t seem to matter here I accept that as well. Believe or disbelieve my posts. Respect my posts or dont. It’s fine. I have a very strong and well founded poor opinion on Trump IMO and others don’t. That is fine.

I can't figure out how Open Secrets compiles their data. I read the article you just posted but then the NRA isn't listed anywhere in the top 50 contributors charts. I have to do more research but I think the difference might be that the NRA runs their own ads and spends money on lobbying while the unions and such contribute to campaigns and PACs. But that's just a theory, I haven't had time to dig deep.

Me neither. I still think Ben Shapiro is a putz and wasn't loved by his daddy. Girls who have daddy issues grow up to be porn stars.... boys grow up to be Ben Shapiro. ;)

I'm not sure if you're serious, but Shapiro and his father are like best friends. They wrote a baseball book together and were just at the Super Bowl.
