Politics And Current Events

Cain is not qualified. By any reasonable metric.

Yes he is by his background. He wasn’t going to be because of his conflicts of interest.

He’s not an economist. He was the CEO of a shitty pizza chain. Let’s put Papa John up for nomination

Cain was chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City Omaha Branch from 1989 to 1991. That's more than some of the already existing governors on the National Board.

@tifosi77 was right. Chairs of the BOD of Federal Reserve are largely "ceremonial" roles. Check the list here:

No one was arguing it was not ceremonial. The point was he's not some idiot who was "CEO of a bad pizza chain".

The only reason he is not qualified is because of GBA.

Much of the reporting from legit news sources (not blue just blue checkmarks) during the investigation has been proven correct. That's not really debatable.

Almost every “correct” story has falsehoods. That’s not really debatable either.

[Troy Loney]

Not being "some idiot" does not qualify one for having a role in forming monetary policy for the Federal Reserve Bank.

I absolutely do not think he was qualified. This job should go to a top economist/banker with an undisputable knowledge of macroeconomics stuff. Cain is none of that.

[tifosi77]

Tomas is more qualified than Cain.

[Factorial]

Tomas is more qualified than Cain.

But he's probably friends with the Chicom now so not qualified.

[Troy Loney]

If you can sell Pizza, then you can comprehend global macroeconomic trends.

so basically Barr is saying it doesn't matter what Mueller says, this is how I transcribe it and this is how it shall be?

[Factorial]

Who is this clown senator Hawley?

[MR25]

so basically Barr is saying it doesn't matter what Mueller says, this is how I transcribe it and this is how it shall be?

But we were told Barr isn't a hack.

He appears to be a very good defense atty for Trump today.

Cant wait until Peduto names a youth center after him.

“Antwon Rose was a freedom fighter,” more than 400 activists sang on the marble steps of the Capitol Rotunda, “and he taught us how to fight.”

Antwon and his shtbag brother terrorized their neighborhood, and Antwon was involved in a drive-by shooting right before he was killed. Why, oh why, does the black community continually insist on holding up utter pieces of sht as their martyrs/heroes? Instead of focusing on how they can keep their children from ending up like him, they hold him up in admiration.

Gee, I can't imagine why places like Chicago never get better. Zero accountability.

Because people like Ben Bernanke did so well?

[Troy Loney]

It was the SEC's job to regulate the investment banks that caused the financial crash.

[PFiDC]

Am I reading this right? Joe Biden's son was dating his dead brother's widow?

@PageSix EXCLUSIVE: Hunter Biden has split from Hallie Biden, the widow of his late brother, Beau.

https://t.co/wVJwSLM9xV

I thought taking your brothers widow was biblical. Deuteronomy 25:5 I think? But I think it says if they are all living together when it happens or something.

As noted on the page I was unaware of this story. Thought it odd in 21st Century America.

Thanks for the heads-up on the Kinsman-Redeemer statute, however it would not apply as Beau Biden already had a male heir.

I figured I was missing something. Thanks!

You forgot to log into your Ned account...

[shafnutz05]

You forgot to log into your Ned account...

Nah. I'm just tired of seeing gangbangers held up as martyrs. Because what will inevitably happen is that black children will see Antwon Rose being held up as a "freedom fighter", and resolve to one day be like him. It's incredibly stupid.

[Morkle]

so basically Barr is saying it doesn't matter what Mueller says, this is how I transcribe it and this is how it shall be?

But we were told Barr isn't a hack.

We were also told attaining security clearances are super hard if you have a sketchy background.

[MWB]

So is there really any debate at this point that Barr was acting in a way to put the best light possible for Trump on the investigation?

[Factorial]

No.

So you're not denying that the Ned account is your alt...

Probably. Not an honest one. But probably.

We can add in “Holder was a hack for Obama” to the argument if it makes people feel better. Maybe that will settle it.
