Even if he did, he wouldn't hang his kids out to dry. So they will still be vested, and he will still be able to act in ways that benefit them (and thus him) at our expense.PLW wrote:There is no way he is really going to divest, right?
This is my year to attend the major January estate planning conference in Orlando. I'm ditching the last day of retrospective and perspective to attend Disney with the family because (1) I don't want to waste my time, (2) you can only speculate about tax base erosion so long before realizing you're going to end up re-litigating basic legal concepts. and (3) eventually waiting in line for hours to see Princesses for becomes more interesting and less depressing.El Guapo wrote:I told my boss that I was going to hold off on trainings until sometime next year, once I see what securities laws are left.

That's about right. There's a quote I remember from philosophy class (I wish I could remember who said it), "opinion is the lowest form of thought." That sums it up pretty well.tgb wrote:Yikes.Grifman wrote:"This is all a matter of opinion . . . there are no such things as facts.”

Can you really say that, though? Isn't Breitbart article commenter WhtPrd88AH just as prominent, especially given his willingness to keep posting hour after hour despite the dankness of his basement and the shitty quality of his weed?Captain Caveman wrote:And this is a person who has a prominent position in the media.
I choose to believe you mean "completely Great Again."We're so completely fucked.
CNN has some real serious issues in general. Jeffrey Lord is a regular (IIRC) and he's incredibly problematic. But I think the worst is having Lewandowski as a regular paid (by CNN) commentator shortly after his active work on the Trump campaign and *while he was still subject to a non-disparagement agreement with the Trump campaign whose violation could have cost him substantial money.* I mean, good lord.Captain Caveman wrote:She is on CNN all the time.
Hush you, perhaps he'll show up dressed for balmy, tropical Indiana December weather. William Henry Harrison redux FTW!Skinypupy wrote: Furnaces, Donald. They make furnaces.
Sure, that's just what the dishonest liars at the so-called New York Times would want you to believe, and why they're failing. Sad.Skinypupy wrote: Furnaces, Donald. They make furnaces.
I've pretty much written off CNN for this reason. On the surface hiring partisans from both sides to get deep insight sounds good for about 5 seconds. Most networks are happy to just invite them on to bullshit. But bringing them in-house? Bonkers. That they actually signed deals with them negates the judgement of their execs. I can't imagine their anchors wanted to deal with these clowns. SNL tore them apart for it - and nailed it perfectly with their Westworld sketch.El Guapo wrote:CNN has some real serious issues in general.

She's not on there as a journalist but as a Trump surrogate. so what can you expect? She's an equivalent of Donna Brazzile.Captain Caveman wrote:She is on CNN all the time.
Yeah, she's a talking head. But even so, I would hope that a network presenting itself as "news" would avoid putting people on the air who claim that "there are no such things as facts". Differing perspectives and diversity of thought are good things. Denying that objective facts exist, however, means you're just being given a platform to propagate misinformation and propaganda.Grifman wrote:She's not on there as a journalist but as a Trump surrogate. so what can you expect?

NOAA Global Analysis-October 2016The combined average temperature over global land and ocean surfaces for October 2016 tied with 2003 as the third highest for October in the 137-year period of record, at 0.73°C (1.31°F) above the 20th century average of 14.0°C (57.1°F). This is 0.26°C (0.47°F) cooler than the record warmth of October 2015 when El Niño conditions were strengthening and 0.50°C (0.90°F) cooler than the all-time record warmth of March 2016 when the El Niño was near the end of its peak. Including 2016, the past three Octobers have been the three warmest in the historical record; however, October 2016 also marked the lowest monthly departure from average for any month since November 2014, which was 0.69°C (1.24°F) above average.
The average global temperature across land surfaces was 0.76°C (1.37°F) above the 20th century average of 9.3°C (48.7°F)—the 16th highest October global land temperature on record but also the lowest October value since 2002, when the departure from average was +0.49°C (+0.88°F).
Warmer- to much-warmer-than-average conditions were present across large areas of the world's land surface, with record warmth across parts of Mexico and the Caribbean, parts of west central Africa, sections of southeastern Asia, western Alaska extending to Far East Russia, where temperatures were more than 5°C (9°F) above their 1981–2010 averages, according to the Land & Ocean Temperature Percentiles map above. Cooler- and much-cooler-than-average conditions were observed much of western Canada, most of eastern Europe, and a large swath extending across much of central Asia, where temperatures were more than 5°C (9°F) above below their 1981–2010 averages in places. No land areas experienced record cold temperatures during October 2016.
While it’d be a true nightmare to get screeching alerts from your phone that “Loser Senate Democrats still won’t confirm great man Peter Thiel to Supreme Court. Sad!”, there are some checks and balances on this. While President-elect Trump hasn’t shown much impulse control when it comes to his favorite mass-messaging service, Twitter, the process for issuing a WEA isn’t as simple as typing out a 90-character alert from a presidential smartphone and hitting “Send.”

Basically, because this October is a degree cooler than last October (bye bye, El Nino!), it's "record cooling". Even though we're still warmer than average.

I'm willing to believe a lot of things about this administration, but fear that he's about to start abusing the emergency alert system just seems like over the top alarm.
