Trump has his faults, but I'd still prefer a man or woman who has signed the front side of checks over somebody who has signed only the backs of checks.
It's easy signing checks on front when the money comes from investors, not yourself. If something goes wrong, you just declare bankruptcy for the company you're signing the checks for, and let the others settle who gets what's left over - the money from the checks you signed on the back is already safe.
You seriously underestimate the ability of government to stick its nose in no matter what.
Just ask the people in Colorado how they like their new Arsenic flavored water
How conservative of you to blame the boy who tried to plug the dyke with his finger for it breaking, instead of the people who fucking did nothing for decades to stop the build-up of that huge waste water reservoir. Ignoring that the only reason the EPA workers were even there was because the mine was already leaching hundreds of gallons of that polluted water per minute.
That is specifically what public domain does NOT mean. Anyone can make money off things in the public domain, if they can find a way to make them valuable to others, up to and including simple reprinting or rebroadcast.
Sure. But why should YouTube play along with it, and even manage the payment for the guy?
Also how is his tactic of hiding money, declaring bankruptcy, then finding the money again going to apply at a national level?
That topic is not one that he has addressed very well, so I'll do it.
You misunderstand what it is that he is doing. He doesn't "hide money", he has had 4 businesses declare bankruptcy. He has never personally filed for bankruptcy.
That is a really key point.
No, the key point is that after he nearly was forced into personal bankruptcy, he stopped investing much of his own money into any other risky businesses (including those that went bankrupt).
He does have hundreds of businesses that have never filed for bankruptcy.
That doesn't mean they aren't bubbles, or even fully legal. Heck, he operated "Trump University" without a licence. Gee, wonder what business practices where taught there...
I think he's too practical minded. Trump has the financial resources to turn every business dispute he has into the legal equivalent of WW III, but he hasn't, because he knows he can't win them all, even when the odds are strongly in his favor, and doing so would ultimately be extremely costly.
Errhmmmh - one highlight: After producing his birth certificate, Trump sued comedian Bill Maher for $5 million in 2013 after remarks made on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Trump claimed Maher's $5 million reward, payable to a charity, if he proved he wasn't the son of an orangutan, was a serious offer. "That wasn't a joke", Trump said.
And the finisher: for years everyone who called the bubble a bubble underperformed the people who bet ever more recklessly. Calling a bubble too soon would just get you fired from your real estate/securities job: you would be scaring the customers and pissing off the partners
Case in point: an analyst that correctly predicted Trump's first bankruptcy was fired from his job after Donny made a big stink. The prediction was almost exactly on time.
Any businessman who's in business for a long time is going to have failures.
Sure. Once. Maybe twice. Four times is a business practice (Trump even said it himself), and anybody still lending him money (or in other words "gives him credit"), in the eternal words of George W. Bush, "can't get fooled again".
No,they didn't. Thr video is still available, but not monetized
Which is all this is about: guy wants to make money from public domain. If he got through with it, he'd try to block all ways to look at it for free next.
US air doctrine for quite some time has been to avoid dog fights - period. First shoot down the dangerous enemies with long range AAM, then the rest with short range AAM before they get a single shot at you. Heck, already between the mentioned 4th generation fighters, the US planes always lost against other planes, Russian or European, in dog fights - this is nothing new for the F-35.
"“a guy with maybe 100 hours in the F-35 versus a guy with 1,500+ Viper hours? I’ve seen thousand-hour F-16 guys in two-bag D-models beat up on brand new wingmen in clean, single-seat jets. It happens. It’s the reality of the amount of experience in your given cockpit.
“Let’s see how it [the F-35] does when guys who are proficient in developed tactics do [sic] against guys with similar amounts experience–the realm of the bros in the operational test or Weapons School environment.”
Nice try, but even if you ignore all the work to get the data, it still only takes one guy (with a computer) to do the analysis. And that one guy can only get a correct result if the data was taken correctly. But he can still screw up the result all by his own.
Having a national army was only begrudgingly allowed with funding having to be re-applied for bi-annually. The second amendment is pretty clear that the militia was important and at the time it was widely recognized that maintaining a permanent national army leads to tyranny.
Good thing we still have militias who plan on blowing up members of the military takeover of America while under the guise of military exercises. Right?
Apple has refused to make public the EEO-1 data that it routinely supplies to the U.S. Dept. of Labor on the demographics of their workers.
How is this even a thing? Why are these filings not required to be public? We can't figure out if the government is doing its job (in this case, tracking this information) without public disclosure so we can follow up.
Why should you Nazis know which companies hires Jews?
We are socialists. We are enemies, deadly enemies, of today’s capitalist economic system with its exploitation of the economically weak, its unfair wage system, its immoral way of judging the worth of human beings in terms of their wealth and their money, instead of their responsibility and their performance, and we are determined to destroy this system whatever happens!
Gregor Strasser
Note that I mention that they change but, the reality is that they were socialists. It was very popular at the time. I suspect that was their motivation.
The same Gregor Strasser that Hitler removed from all responsibilities in the NSDAP before he even came to power and was killed in the "Night of the Long Knifes" the OP just mentioned? Way to prove his point.
For that matter, in many cases it was taking credit for Apple creating things that Apple hadn't even created, like the mouse, the GUI, FireWire, and so on.
Interesting - so where did Apple or Steve Jobs take credit for creating the Mouse or the GUI. Apple did take credit for creating FireWire - because they fucking did.

He's the most despicable, dishonest and respectless person I've ever seen
You've got to be kidding. Most politicians are worse, as are most lawyers. Out of all the Republicans running, Trump is easily the most honest.
The guy who in his very announcement of candidacy stated his own personal as a reason to vote for him - and massively overestimated that wealth?

You can't fight reality. Randal has, in the past, said some pretty absurd stuff in his comics
Einstein said some pretty absurd stuff in real life - much of which is still widely quoted. Like that "God doesn't play dice" thing.

Yes. And they'll look fabulous doing it.
Is that supposed to be a prediction of Apple's catch-adjective for the "iCar", or are you confusing Tim Cook with Eddy Monsoon, Sweety Darling?
So the "S6 Edge+" is actually the "Note 5 Edge", but Samsung needs something to counter the "iPhone 6+" at least by name.
So now "taken some oxygen out" is the same as "smothering"? LOL! Smart watches are a fad, like tablets.
Tablets are a fad how? Because people use them far longer than their phones before replacing them? Well apart from the NVIDIA Shield's of course.

But are all of those authors, and not data contributors?
Collecting the data is the actual work. Any idiot with a computer can make the analysis. And draw the wrong conclusions from that.

My point is that they were socialists - which they are seemingly emphatically denying.
