“It doesn’t bother me,” she said of his long speeches and off-the-cuff remarks. “He’s being himself.”

And today we also have reports of young men saying they'll vote for Trump because "he talks the way I talk with my friends". And that's a good thing in a president??

“Those french fries were good,” he said. “They were good. They were right out of the uh, they were right out of whatever the hell they make them out of.”

Um, he doesn't know French fries are made of potatoes??

From that article:

...But Harris gets more criticism than Trump for pandering for votes by promoting policies she doesn't intend to carry out...

And how do they know she doesn't intend to carry them out?

That is excellent.

Looks like one needs a subscription for all articles through the computer but none needed on the smartphone app.

I have no problem viewing this, for example:

That's on my computer. I do get a popup that says, "Sign in with Google", but I can click it away. I suppose I could also sign in with Google, but in this case I don't need to.

This is what Dave said this morning:

I believe a patch was deployed yesterday afternoon, after those posts. It won't fix prior posts.

Maybe you should ask him about it, or ask him who made the patch, and talk to whoever it is.

LOLOLOLOLISSIMO!! What kind of panini did you make?

And what is going on with the Washington Post? Has their editorial board gone mad? They can’t DECIDE between a fascist who admires Hitler and a woman who’s been a perfectly adequate state attorney general, national senator, and vice president, and who cares about people??? What is WRONG with the Post??

There's one simple explanation: it's a cult stock. The way cult stocks trade never makes sense.

MMAT seems to be dead.

He's always supported the other side.

I'm afraid you're wrong again. What interests me is OTC Markets suddenly changing the "Expert Market" to the "Expert Restricted Market".

And it would also be nice to know why US brokers haven't allowed their customers to buy those Expert Market stocks since September 2021. I'd never looked to see if they explained. They don't, really. This is what they say:

Issuers of OTC equity securities that fail to make current financial and other information publicly available, are insolvent, are under regulatory investigation or suspension, or are otherwise not in compliance with public company reporting requirements may become restricted to the “Expert Market.” In the event an OTC equity security that you own or may own in the future is classified as an “Expert Market” security, you may be prevented from selling that OTC equity security and the value of your OTC equity security may be significantly negatively affected or eliminated entirely. Specifically, opening transactions in “Expert Market” securities are not permitted and closing transactions in “Expert Market” securities will only be permitted under limited circumstances, subject to certain qualifications and restrictions.

They do actually do a good job. But I'll leave you to your conspiracy theories.

I'm not seeing it today, either. Odd. But thanks again.

Oh good. Thanks!

Point blank, its hard to take you seriously about anything...

What? What do you think "point blank" means?

You dems use words like Bigot, racist, fascist, sexist, misogynist.......................................... And a whole list of stereotypes in nearly every sentence.........

General Kelly is not a Democrat. Neither is General Milley, nor General McCrystal. Yet they agree that Trump is a fascist.

Ok. None of those individuals are fascists. No one in Congress is a fascist ..no one in the current administration if a fascist. Absolutely no one in the Federal Government is a fascist.

Really? Fascists are nothing new in this country. There were tons of them in the 1930s, in and out of government. Charles Lindbergh--a national hero--was a fascist and an admirer of Hitler.

And people like him--authoritarians, isolationists, and protectionists--are back in favor now, here and elsewhere.

But you have never been to a TRUMP rally. I hope.

No, and I doubt a toaster would run for long on one of those battery packs for cellphones. You know, the kind you have for blackouts and stuff.

But there ARE those rechargeable blenders that people are supposed to carry around so they can make smoothies whenever they feel a sudden need. Not sure where they'd get the ingredients, but they look good in TV commercials.

Perhaps. But what other appliances might people bring to political rallies?

Microwaves? Refrigerators? Coffee machines and blenders would make sense.

Tell me, conix: do you remember the two debates in which Trump lied every time he opened his mouth, and answered very few questions?

I do. Vividly. Biden had a terrible night, but even so, he made more sense than Trump. Kamala wiped the floor with Donnie. NO ONE thinks he won that debate, or even came close.

Well, maybe Stephen Miller does, because he's paid to say that shit.

Don't you think they should have been more specific about "weapons"?

Are you satisfied with Trump's statement on tariffs, his fascistic 'enemy within' statements and his mass deportation intentions?

You know, all that sounds a lot like Hitler to me!

But he doesn't have anything else in his head. Just a big grievance drive with millions of files in it.

Oh dear! Trumpty is unhappy with Kelly. And with Kamala. He's so sensitive!

Broker-dealers are generally okay with FINRA. Their objections tend to be about technical issues.

When they do have a grievance, they're often helped by SIFMA.

It is not "contracting its job out to anyone". And, though you probably don't know this, FINRA celebrated its 85th anniversary this past September. It was created only five years after the SEC.

Even the CNN pundits were surprised by her opting to go to "Word Salad City".

You know, I'm a good communicator. I get paid to research and write stuff, and have since the early '80s. And I'm afraid I have no idea what all these CNN people and MAGAts mean when they talk about "word salad". In the debate, for example, I found what she said blindingly clear.

Just as I found her clear last night at the CNN Town Hall.

It seems to me that they just feel they need to be negative because people like hosts to pretend to argue with each other. Exciting. It also seems to me they tried to push her to make the kinds of predictions about policy initiatives that might not work out. For example, she spent time explaining that she'd like to return to the days when bipartisanship made it possible for Congress and presidential administrations to work together for the greater good. But she did not want to make specific promises about that. Seems reasonable to me.

But then I am a reasonable person. And a good communicator.

FINRA is, nonetheless, a regulator. It is, in turn, regulated by the SEC.

I hate to inform you but they certainly did have abortions back then. It was just illegal and also many women tried it themselves and died.

Yes. It isn't as if no one had ever heard of it. The wealthy ones found real doctors who'd pop them in the hospital, where they'd have a D&C for cysts or something. The poor ones went to back alley butchers.

Even in Montana.

No one knows who stopped US brokers from allowing customers to buy Expert Restricted stocks.

But brokers can refuse to allow their clients to do lots of things. You really ought to realize that most Grey/Expert stocks are trash.

Oh yes!! A master of comedic self-deprecation!

Wow. That is a LOT of news!

LOLOL!! Someone should get it and send it to Trumpty!

Oh yeah. Misogyny is always a big hit. And the MAGAts are already in big trouble because of it.

Don't look now, but it appears Trump talked a fair amount about Hitler when he was in the White House. Bitched that he needed generals like Hitler's generals. Ones that wouldn't bring up pesky objections to things he wanted to do because they were unconstitutional.

He's regarded Hitler approvingly for much of his life, it seems.

You are not smarter about this stuff than Mark Milley, John Kelly, and Stanley McCrystal, all of them four star generals.

Gen z is, not to mention the working and middle class.....Calling half the country whiners has gotten you dems to the point that you may well lose to Trump all because you won't do simple math...

We are actually calling YOU a whiner. We do understand the difficulty Gen Zs are experiencing. Kamala wants to do things that will help fix that.

Trump, on the other hand, doesn't give a shit about them, or about anyone but himself. And Putin.

Oh, and Gen Z does not comprise "half the country".

You may recall that for a very long term, some push button phones had a toggle switch that would allow the owner to select dial-tone or pulse. In the pulse position the phone would generate the pulse noises that simulated those from a rotary phone.

lol, I have NO idea! I left the States for Italy in late 1978. At that time, I had a rotary dial only phone.
