Tell me about Venezuala. I know nothing. Never been there. I have heard he government is very fucked up. Hugo Chavez, populist, socialist. Right? Oil prices collapse. Economy collapses. Then he dies, and someone else takes over. And so I'm told by the media, horrible mismanagement in...

By some, the financial crisis was recognized as on the way by 2007, it hit full force in 2008 with the market crash. The S&P hit its low (the devils bottom, 666) in the first week of March 2009. That's the unofficial start of the recovery. By the time Obama arrived on Pennsylvania Avenue the...

This is no where near an unbiased legitimate study. It's pure disinformation. There is this constant implication that you can get registered to vote if you can some how get hold of a drivers license. Nothing could be further from the truth. Motor voter, for example, makes it easier to...

I think they may have been, There were bound to have been many pissed Republicans Republicans that wanted 'those democrats' sent packing. On the net, I'm sure you'll find professional analysis by competent political scientists of the Obama midterm election. Here's one...

This is definitely, absolutely, without a shadow of a doubt, false. I would like to respect your opinion, though it differs from mine. But how can I when you suggest such a ridiculous thing! It as though you were Trump claiming that Obama was not born in Hawaii . You are suggesting fraud on a...

that's right there have been 5 minority presidents in U.S. History. Trump is one of them. The only one that was re-elected was G.W. Bush. However his race against Gore was a virtual tie, Gore got a few more popular votes than Bush. The other minority Presidents lost the popular vote by...

I wouldn't pay any attention to Soros, if I were you, if you think his analysis is wrong.

Are you possibly 'mis-remembering' this? As I remember it, Obama told us that's what would happen if Congress did not get off their asses and start acting like grownups. And it did happen because Congress failed to pass a continuing resolution in time to keep the government going. Congress...

I think it's the hardened factions. We have to recognize that the house is in many ways the most powerful body. If the house is dysfunctional they can cause the entire government to be dysfunctional. We may have to resign ourselves to two years of extreme dysfunction until the midterm election...

Don't forget his insane budget proposals for the 2018 fiscal year. Thank god none will get past the dysfunctional Congress. We'll probably just operate on continuing resolutions for the entire year. What a circus!

By far the largest contributor of aluminum in U.S. diets is baking powder. No adverse affects form ingestion of small amounts of aluminum have ever been identified.

It seems to me that subsequent events have reinforced the prescience of the Soros commentary above. This offers a plausible explanation why Purtin would have no interest in bringing the Syrian conflict to rapid halt, and why he might have very well been complicit in the recent chemical weapons...

The important commentary From Feb of last year on Putin and the Russian and EU problems has been for some inexplicable reason moved to politics, you can find it in this Forum by scrolling down to 'Putin is no Ally...' important reading for anyone speculating in the ruble or Russian securities.

Ha ha ha . You caught me! I have a bad habit of editing after I push submit. I can't seem to read what I have written unless I get away for a few minutes. Just something I can't explain. We don't know what is being investigated exactly, or where the investigation is leading. That's the...

I reproduce below February 2016 commentary by George Soros which includes his assessment of the Russian Economy. This Should be of Great interest to ET participants. With the advantage of hindsight one can now better evaluate the prescience of his remarks! By George Soros FEB 10, 2016 100...

Thank you for posting this. I have taken the liberty of appending Soros' article. Soros has done more for those ravaged by war than any other living person. Please read his article below. I may try and move this to the economics forum where it belongs. By George Soros. Rebuilding the Asylum...

It's true, that it was rigged against Bernie. (that part was established with the resignation of Debbie ) But somehow I don't think that's what Trump had in mind when he said "The election is rigged." When there is an investigation going on, behind the scenes out of the public eye, my own thing...

Your view of what's happening seems to be well supported by what we can observe from the outside. In the end I'm guessing there are going to be many of his ardent supporters that are going to be very disappointed. But it is very, very early in his administration. We'll have a much better idea...

Anyone can make wild accusations, but if your going to expect anyone to believe them, shouldn't you support them in some way? A link perhaps. Or a quote from Soros in context would be nice. I have already called your attention to the many books that offer specific evidence for and official...

If you meant for political campaigns, that's illegal isn't it? I mean if it is for political campaign purposes I think there is a strict limit. He can spend much more money under his own name but I think there are strict limits on contributions to specific candidates. Not that it matters...
