Venezuela is a genuine Banana Republic
If Silicon Valley companies desert ship, California will follow suit
Hmmm....Should I source information from a Pulitzer Prize winner or someone with a handle from...
The Three Stooges?
so, you have no original thoughts. explains much.

I take it you've replaced the intercept with DCJ as your single source?

Unlike most I spend a great deal of time analyzing news sources and individual reporters for...
bullet proof credibility, who are highly intelligent, rarely if ever forced to retract stories/statements and are able to back what they say with irrefutable facts. They're our there but it takes intelligence and dedication to determine who they are. Do a little research on David Cay Johnston. He's one smart son of a bitch.
Right, like Avenatti.

Right like Avenatti's information led to the indictment and imprisonment of Cohen and potentially...
an unidicted co-conspirator. You're a tool and don't even know it.
Avenatti could end up worse off than Cohen when it's all said and done.

And that lessens the damage he inflicted on Donnie how?

Yeah, see, I am not obsessed with Donnie like you.
I don't view anything through the lens of good or bad for Trump like most here including you.
The grander message amidst my snarky response is that Avenatti was an extremely credible source...
regarding the issue that led to conviction of Cohen and the naming of Diaper Don as an un-indicted co-conspirator. But I didn't need Avanatti to know that this was true since it was sourced long ago by David Cay Johnston. Avanatti just had the media skills and political backing to bring it to life. It's that simple.
Avenatti and Cohen are two sides of the same coin found on the restroom floor at a stripclub.
Neither is particularly credible. Similarly the Clintons and Trumps and their entourages are both financial criminal enterprises. You can argue which is worse, but it's worth noting that at one time they were friends. We were going to get a bunch of hucksters and con artists either way and it's good that we have a special prosecutor.
I agree, they are both scumbags. A bigger point to be made is that both the Dem and Rep Parties...
have ;been two sides of the same filthy coin since the Neo-liberal period began under Regan/Thatcher. The working/middle class has had the boot of "the masters of mankind" (Adam Smith quote, not mine) firmly planted on its throat for 50 years. The result of the global austerity imposed on working people in the USA was the rise of a myth-maker. No love loss between me and H. Clinton. I didn't vote for her and saw her as a deeply flawed candidate. Clearly this played out during the election.
There has been a lot of smoke that has swirled around the Clintons for 30 years. I don't view them as angles but they've had the full wrath of the Right Side of the political spectrum imposed upon them numerous times with no significant results with respect to criminal enterprise management. Trump however has stone cold facts that prove his criminal activities including being found guilty twice for tax fraud in civil court. The Taj Mahal received the largest fine for money laundering ever imposed while he was at the helm ($10,000 fine). I could go on and on but you get the point.
Correct. Bingo.

other than sharing nothing in common with a banana republic, not a surprising read

Ah, but it's coming from someone who knows as much about Donald as Mueller. A credible source indeed

is it credible when his comparison is 100% wrong?

Ah, the rantings of an ex-lacrosse playing, bunkered down, middle school math teacher.

rather than copying and pasting or just sharing a link, you should research before you post

Well I've read both of Johnston's books on Drumph and have followed his career as he's reported on..
Drumph, back to the days when he worked as a reporter in Philadelphia. He also teaches tax law at Syracuse University and is considered the foremost expert on the tax schemes of the Super Wealthy. Is that good enough research for you Sparky? For fucks sake I figured out that you played Lacrosse, are bunkered down and teach middle school math.
yes, he is well-educated but his reference to trump and the US as a banana republic is just incorrec
t. no matter how well he writes or tries to set the argument. it’s simply the wrong term. as such, one has to question if his education really hit the spot. anyone who folllows him, then, is questionable. .
