Trump is "monitoring" big tech censorship?

Post: #91728

Good news! He's upgraded his status from "monitoring" to "surprised", guys!
I'm even hearing whispers that he may soon be "concerned" or perhaps even "troubled"!



When he loses in 2020 it's gonna be his own damn fault...

Interesting that the solution to home prices skyrocketing in some EU countries was the 100-year mortgage that you can pass down to your kids etc to continue payments - ensures intergenerational debt slavery but locks in the mortgage payment at the parents rates. Lots of single professionals and dual incomes with kids are buying the suburban houses in communities with the best State High School Scores (MCAS in MA for example) so their kids are somewhat insulated from the festering fetid tent core city socialist cesspools with human excrement and drugs needles all over the place - even once safe neighborhoods in Boston like the North End overrun with druggies and discarded needles... The new Progressives Paradise of the core city.

The new millennial model is to stay in the City Core with roommates and build your career earnings and then move out to a safe burb with decent commuter trains and work Mon and Fri from home and commute midweek for any face to face meetings. This is because as soon a mid 20s female hears that 30 something biological tick tock go off in her head she will make her mate and family move heaven and earth to get the prospective grandkids into a safe® neighborhood with good schools. Many couples doubling up and buying a shared home - the idea being they split the appreciation then use it to buy their own homes eventually when the kid's needs require it. Necessity is the BabyMomaHood of invention.

Ironic that the best strategy for locking in parents help is to turn them into grandparents. Appears that subject is like garlic to vampire women's studies radical feminist agendas.

Sunday S&P Globex futures gapped sharply down - Fin Media Talking heads already blaming Trump...

Stock market slumps on Trump tweet and Hawkish fed

Stock markets got hammered today as Donald Trump announced sudden plans to increase tariffs on China to 25% from 10%.

Also, the Federal Reserve hawkishness puts a bearish tone in the stock market right as it hit fresh all time highs.

You know the saying - markets don't crash from lows, they crash from highs.

Yet a rational observer sees that Rocketman the ChiComms marionette launches a couple of temper tantrum missiles into the Ocean and the Trump Patriots say OK China - Dragging your feet on De-Nukeing AND on Finalizing true reciprocal trade - that March moratorium on raising the 10% China tariffs to 25% JUST ENDED.

"Sudden Plans" was a dead NWO Deep State media give away.

increase tariffs on China to 25% from 10%... Predict Democrat Peoples Marxist Socialist Party and NWO Media heads all explode live on Monday Morning news and CNBC Communist News Business Channel all day long.

Point is Trump back on Trump Time counterpunching where it matters.

Household income just went up due to everyone in the household working. Real median wages haven't risen since the 1970s.

A steel mill worker - uneducated - in the 1960s made enough money to buy a house that he paid off under a decade, could afford 2 cars, a non-working wife and the education of 3 kids. A Starbucks regional manager does not make that kind of money in real terms.



Note the gimmicks they use in terms of calculation of average wages - those include the previously non-working women. There are other gimmicks that economists use.

Wow nice chart. I've said all along -- just look at wages and costs in 1980 compared to now.

We'd have to increase the salaries of the entire middle class by 200% to have even a hope of surviving as a viable society. The press touts 3% wage growth as some big win. Unbelievable.

I can only fight to save money for my own family and try to get the fuck out.

The SHTF is a real possibility according to the latest Strategic Intelligence Newsletter:

Russian Nukes in Venezuela? Don’t Rule It Out

Are there Russian nuclear weapons in Venezuela today? According to this article, the answer is yes. I’m not so sure myself. The sourcing in this article is from a single member of Congress who does not offer any proof to back up the claim. Still, the presence of nukes in Venezuela is a possibility that cannot be dismissed out of hand. Here’s what we do know. Some Russian troops (called “little green men” because they are uniformed in unmarked green jumpsuits) are present in Venezuela as are over 20,000 highly trained Cuban troops. Russian nuclear bombers (Tu-160s) landed in Caracas last December. It’s not clear if they carried nuclear weapons or not, but that is certainly possible. The U.S. has called for Nicolás Maduro to leave Venezuela, but Russia and Cuba (with China behind the scenes) have been instrumental in urging Maduro to stay in place. The recent “revolution in the streets” led by opposition leader Juan Guaidó failed miserably on May 1, 2019, with several casualties. The U.S. could apply force to oust Maduro (using Special Operations Command) if the only opposition came from the Venezuelan army. But with Russia and Cuban troops forming a Praetorian Guard around Maduro, the risks of escalation and direct confrontation between Russia and the U.S. are too high. The situation now is a political stalemate, but the starvation and misery of the Venezuelan people are all too real. My forecast is that the situation is not near a resolution and will get much worse before it is resolved. Markets are scarcely paying attention to this story. They should.

Trump foreign policy:

Fucked up historical opportunity in North Korea by choosing Mike Pompeo and John Bolton
Instigated an obvious coup in Venezuela which failed Bay of Pigs style
Squandered goodwill from Putin and Russia

The man's a failure, plain and simple. Couldn't even get the North Korea deal in the bag, which was the most obvious slam dunk.

It's not Orange Man Bad it's Orange Man Stupid.

A reality check needed here - China coordinating with Rocketman Jun Un Kim the III are merely following his Father and Grandfather's playbook from the last 40 years - meet, agree, obfuscate, stall, delay, demand sanctions relief or food or nuclear reactor technology for the sake of the people and skim 90% of the wealth and store it in Bejing and Moscow and Zurich and let the NoKor masses starve - right out of the Communist Manifesto. Nothing new under the Sun here expecting Trump to pull a hammer and sickle out of the Chinese Communists and NoKor Communist's backsides is unrealistic almost magical thinking. Only thing the ChiComms respect is power and force both Military, Political and Economically = Trump's core strategy. Economic Prosperity and Nuclear Peace via overwhelming force - the basic concept of power projection perfected by the Roman Empire 2 millennia ago.

The little green men "nickname" is an insider reference linked to the successful Russian military operation in Crimea. (Matter of fact, if the USA want to clinically remove Maduro from power, then maybe they should try copying and emulating what the Russians did in Crimea)

As to the "20,000 highly trained Cuban troops", well, no offense but: Highly-trained in what exactly? And with what kind of budget, what kind of weapons, and on which "high-tech" base?

I mean, no doubt the Cubans have highly trained, sharp and highly efficient intelligence officers, but, highly-trained assault troops? Angola is far back in time, and so is the Che.

You should try reading the thread. This was posted 3 days prior and if you'd known you should've quoted it instead of posting it as new and adding a sarcastic quip that accomplishes nothing except reveal your bitterness.

Do you really think Hillary or ANY of the other candidates save for maybe Rand Paul or Ted Cruz would've even bothered saying anything about this?

This is something that needs to be dealt with by the legislators and the courts.

Stop pretending that the President can do anything other than raise awareness. It's intellectually dishonest and you're not some brain dead idiot. You too:

The president can do lots of things other than "raise awareness". For instance, even the slightest whisper that the president wanted to open an anti-trust investigation into Facebook would put a stop to this shit so fast that you wouldn't believe it. These big companies like Google and Facebook are prime targets for trustbusting, and everybody in the tech industry remembers the hell Microsoft went through in the 90s.

But Trump doesn't want to do that, and would rather tweet about how "surprised" he is. Dude's gonna be even more "surprised" when he gets steamrolled on election day because he failed to protect his supporters.

The worse part is, even if Trump just went MAGA/MIGA, most those who voted for him and are upset at him would still be excited about him.

For instance, had Trump continued to spend $800 billion on a military and used it as mercenary forces for Israel, and given Israel $4 billion a year, and backed Israel at every turn at the UN, no one would bat an eye had he done at least something for his base.

Trump's voters got attacked, beaten, then arrested when they defended themselves. Some lost their jobs, lost their friends, lost their family, some even took their lives. And what do we have to show for it? The border is wide open, the economy is a disaster unless you are a billionaire, there is no infrastructure plan, censorship is ramping up, and people are realizing their kids have little to 0 future waiting for them. Worse yet, we may be heading for a war in Venezuela or Iran, which is the EXACT opposite of what Trump ran on.

Google and Facebook openly meddle in national elections and obstruct entire industries and nothing happens to them. Their behavior is the equivalent of Microsoft Windows rigging its OS to blow up power plants.

While the dissenting states certainly viewed it as only a slap on the wrist, the settlement can't honestly be characterized as a "massacre."

Further, IE wasn't just bundled, it was completely integrated with the operating system. So much so that Windows Updates wouldn't even work without the browser.

Those are both simply gross exaggerations. Microsoft was no angel in the situation.

Treasury Secretary Mnuchin denies House Dem's request for Trump's tax returns

Quote:DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
WASHINGTON, D.c.

SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY

May 6, 2019

The Honorable Richard E. Neal
Chairman

Committee on Ways and Means
US. House of Representatives
Washington, DC 20515

Dear Chairman Neal:

I write in further response to your letter of April 3, 2019, requesting the confidential tax returns
(and other return information) of President Trump and related business entities for 2013 through 2018, pursuant to 26 U.S.C. 6103(f).

As you have recognized, the Committee?s request is unprecedented, and it presents serious
constitutional questions, the resolution of which may have lasting consequences for all taxpayers.

Accordingly, the Department of the Treasury has consulted with the Department of Justice
concerning the lawfulness of your request. As explained in my April 23 letter, the Committee?s
statutory authority under section 6103 is bounded by Congress's authority under the
Constitution, and the Supreme Court has held that the Constitution requires that Congressional
information demands must reasonably serve a legitimate legislative purpose.

In reliance on the advice of the Department of Justice, I have determined that the Committee?s
request lacks a legitimate legislative purpose, and pursuant to section 6103, the Department is
therefore not authorized to disclose the requested returns and return information.

The Department of Justice has informed us that it intends to memorialize its advice in a
published legal opinion as soon as practicable. Out of respect for the deadlines previously set by
the Committee, and consistent with our commitment to a prompt response, I am informing you
now that the Department may not lawfully fulfill the Committee's request.

Although the Department is unable to provide you with the requested confidential tax returns and
return information, we renew our previous offer to provide information concerning the
Committee's stated interest in how the IRS conducts mandatory examinations of Presidents, as
provided by the Internal Revenue Manual. If the Committee is interested, we remain committed
to providing such an accommodation.

Sincerely,

Steven T. Mnuchin
