I'm a career risk management professional.

You? A janitor begging to be taken seriously

-Why do you quarrel with this?

I'm quarreling with you, little fella.

Well, you're nipping my heels more specifically

And using your cute little metaphors for attention.

Well, you got it.

Now my attention to you has ended today

-Not worried the pig will behave like a pig?

cute little comparisons. I love them.

stay on the porch little fella and practice reciting poems for the school play.

leave the adulthood to the adults.

-Who I vote for is irrelevant.

For president, yes.

But what about all of the other elections and issues on your ballot? Your vote counts for much more in those elections.

Trump deserves this comparison. He really does. He's using language that is unprecedented in American politics.

He's not even arguing the issues we had coming into the Civil War, or Civil Rights, or our involvement in world wars and Vietnam, etc.

Even then, politicians refrained from such language to describe their opponents despite whatever extreme position they may have taken.

Am I worried Trump will take action similar to those individuals? No.....but again, he deserves the comparison.

-Phillips 66 said the decision was "not related" to the bill signing, but rather "on consideration of multiple factors,

Sounds close to the statements released by companies every time they close plants and coincidentally open them in right-to-work states and/or Mexico.

And we always believe those statements.......

And this is an oil company. Those guys never stray from the truth........

Earthmuse is such a poor pathetic sap.

Let me know when that moron ever ever ever posts something that's remotely accurate.

-Don't think for an instant that these Oligarchs don't laugh about that very well-planned, 'irony', prolly rather often.

They laugh at a lot more ironies than that.

-Laure, is it true that Jill Stein is not on the Kansas ballot?

I'll let you know later today.

-This is 2024 version of "but her emails".

You can discount my opinion because I voted for Hillary but admittingly I held my nose as I voted for her. I didn't like her but Trump was a hard no regardless.....

I felt like Hillary was where she was totally due to nepotism, lacked the proper experience, carpetbagged her senate seat and was complete name recognition.

that may be harsh but I still voted for her because the alternative was worse....and let's be honest......I just described every Kennedy who ever ran for or held public office not to mention plenty of other career politicians. (Bush??)

I don't see any of that in Kamala. I don't give a crap about the alleged sleeping around. Nobody really cares about that anyway. It's just fun for them to bring it up.

I'm voting for her without having to hold my nose.

-but you realize a million dollar contribution to Harris

You mean at least a million.

-That said 3 men 220 million vs 79 and what? 50 million?

Where do you get $50 million? It could be $400 or $500 million.

That list of billionaires gave at least $1M each.

At least speak is honest. He outright admits the money is irrelevant

It's who they give it to. Period.

IT'S NOT ABOUT WHICH BILLIONAIRES DONATE. ITS ABOUT WHO THEY DONATED TO!!!

ft

Avoiding a simple question with a tirade about how pure of heart you are even though you posted several falsehoods and kept digging and digging.

I don't need excuses for why you kept digging your hole.

I agree with you on your point about Harris replacing Biden. 100%.

As to the money.....you've made it obvious the donors don't bother you, the sums don't bother....it's only about who they give it to.

Gotta go......it's now safe for the little trolls to enter and personally attack me.

"How many of Harris' have you seen on stage or expressing what they personally expect from a Harris presidency in the transactional way Trump equates every single thing in his life?"

republican voters aren't bothered by the scene of Trump getting jacked off by billionaires.

democratic party voters are quite squeamish with similar optics...including you.

It's a smart strategy to keep the public statements, public appearances away from Harris. IOW, maintaining separation is a smart move.

But you probably have convinced yourself these 79 billionaires don't have any conditions, desires, wishes, etc.

Because when a hedgefund billionaire gives 7 or 8 figures to a political candidate....he doesn't expect something in return.....when he gives it to a democrat

You believe that, don't you?

"I just showed you that it's impossible. $200 small donors alone have given Harris close to $400 million, so even at the max, 79 billionaires contributing the other $600 million breaks down to $7.5 million per, one tenth of what Trump received from just 3 in 3 months."

The billion dollars in 90 days......you don't know where it came from. You're referencing an 18 month time frame for the lower donations. I don't know how you can attribute a small donation to Harris that occurred well before she was the nominee. It's not the same time frame and not the same total sum of money.

You're moving the goal posts because you were wrong in the first place with your 70% thing.

The only thing you know is that 28 billionaires gave at least $1 million to Harris. There is no way she could have a billion dollars without these billionaires giving 7 or even 8 figure donations.

You're trying to attach small donations that occurred well before she was the nominee to her, obviously.

"I'm not declaring anyone's money good or bad,"

You might as well because it's clearly how you feel about it.

You're literally defending hedgefund, wallstreet, real estate BILLIONAIRES giving MILLIONS to Kamala Harris while bitching about 3 billionaires giving massive sums to Trump.

You are absolutely declaring someone's money good or bad.

-See where one isn't remotely like the other?

hilarious. Harris has more billionaires giving 7 figures or more and has more money.

And you're seeing something better about that than Trump having 3 billionaires giving him a ton of money?

Isn't it possible for a handful of the billionaires contributing heavily to Harris to be giving sums similar to what those 3 are giving to Trump?

And even if it's divided more evenly and nobody is giving $75 million like Musk.....you're declaring one good and the other bad.

Admit it Tony. The money doesn't bother you. It's all about who they are giving it to

preventative services including annual x-rays have always been 100% covered by my plan. Assuming that's normal, nobody is going to push back on this because it's no additional out of pocket for the patient.

-Perhaps you could explain why my vote for president has actually mattered in only 1 of the 10 elections I have voted in.

Oh come on.....your vote probably mattered in 0 elections. How is it possible it mattered even once?

"I do not agree."

Of course not. Your alias is a total hypocrite.

"I just think that some billionaires..."

LOL...again, of course. Your alias is a total hypocrite.

you know what's in the hearts and minds of every billionaire.

You guys crack me up.

"three billionaires. ...

Yup."

Yup! Because when a billionaire contributes to your campaign, you are owned by them

Woops!

LOL

And that sounds great after she wins.

But now it's just a campaign issue with no upside with a bullseye to get hammered with.

And I actually want her to win.

You? not so sure......
