    364 million verdict against the trumpster

    Just the name Trump could make his properties special to some lenders in terms of raising value. On the other hand, tax authorities could very well be influenced by reassessment pleas submitted by Trump hired professionals to lower values. So the name Trump raises values in the eyes of...

    P Diddy

    Have to admit the chances of my taking a liking to rap is minimal. However, do appreciate my fellow Coolerites for attempting to enlighten me on the subject. Also am concerned rap and the rap stars, to at least some degree, are demeaning to the back community in the eyes of both Blacks and...

    MM66, thanks for the update on what's happening in the world of rap. I'll add rap beefs to the my growing list of the culture wars occurring in the country.

    Surprised to see this thread revealing so many Coolerites taking an interest in a rap celebrity.

    Is the USA a great nation?

    On the other hand, without capital being invested the workers wouldn't have the equipment and environment to be productive enough to earn a decent living. On top of that, we have a government which overtime passes laws and regulations which manages to balance the interests of owners and...

    Goat, as someone who believes there are a good many of us out there who share what are described as both leftist and conservative values, the guy in the satire isn't all that satirical. The part which I questioned My Team about is whether it was posted because what you call a "satirist"...

    Is the USA a great nation?

    The working class with no power who come to work each day to make our capitalist system function and prosper includes people of all colors.

    Sad to report, it went straight over my head. Hoping there is a lot more satire going on in the country which I am mistakenly taking seriously.

    A yes or no would suffice. Or just ignore my question, as it is no big deal. P.S. Don't think either party would be pleased to have the obnoxious "fertilizer guy" speaking on its behalf.

    Is the USA a great nation?

    Took a client to a bank loan officer who was black and was the lead guy in a program designed to help home buyers who had previously been denied a home mortgage loan. My client had taken on a second job since his loan denial and was anxious to be rewarded for his hard work and increased income...

    My Team, just curious, would you have put this "fertilizer guy" on the Cooler if he had declared himself as being a Republican ?

    In 1956 Jacob Javits who was then the New York State Attorney General convinced the legislature to pass the law (Section 63(12) of New York’s Executive Law) upon which Trump is being accused of violating. According to this link.. Since 1956 the attorney general’s office has brought cases...

    I really hate humanity sometimes.

    My headline on this story would be.. Why I Hate the News. Local and national news just naturally stress all the bad news of the day. The brighter side of everyday living is thankfully far and away the norm. In contrast, the news upon which we focus are the rare events which aren't normal is...

    How much do people follow the news

    The news is important to me. Watch C-Span's Washinton Journal first thing in the morning. Washington pols selected from both parties are usually not the crazies. The crazies are the callers from both parties. Experts on various subjects reflect a cross section of political ideologies and...

    364 million verdict against the trumpster

    Is admitting to politics being important in your decision making a vice or a virtue ? I've always sorta of admired Mike Pence for admitting to being a "Christian, conservative, and Republican, in that order". With two out of three values being about politics, he was letting us know politics...

    Water Cooler March Madness Pool? It's still there from last year

    I've got BYU beating Purdue in the second round and then whipping the Illini before losing to Iowa State. Going out on a limb this year.

    Is the USA a great nation?

    Danc, thanks to our chat and some research came across something which was new to me. This link about the Iron Curtain talks about something which Marshall did before not including the Eastern bloc in the Marshall Plan. According to the link Marshall offered to include the Eastern bloc and...

    Is the USA a great nation?

    DANC, without a doubt, subjects such as the Yalta Conference which supposedly gave the Soviet Union control over Eastern Europe only until elections could be held, and whether the Marshall Plan was the beginning of the Cold War are highly debatable subjects.

    Is the USA a great nation?

    Rather than it being the fear of blacks making progress including equality. Could it instead be about the fear of Deocrat liberals gaining more power because of an increasing number of Black voters. Blacks who in the past tended to vote for Democrats.

    Is the USA a great nation?

    IMO, Trump is an electible president because he has been able to capture enough votes in the right places to win the electoral college. Isn't this what the founders of our democracy gave us ? Trump's opponents warn us about him taking in an undemocratic authoritarian direction. Could it...
