    No, they did not.

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...ck-ig-report-didnt-exonerate-trump/712803002/

    Just not with the Mexican money he promised to use.

    That is your opinion, and not one shared by the majority.

    But not the ACA as a whole, an election promise even his own party wouldn't allow.

    Yeah, like pay down the deficit and the national debt? You mean those things?

    LMFAO!

    You mean Trump-hating psychiatrists.

    psychiatrists need psychiatrists more than their patients need them.

    Then let's see them so that we can determine if you frauded the government.

    The government auto-completes the return. Try reading my posts.

    You are buying into the inverted yield curve scare. The simple solution for income investors is re-allocation. When 10 year Treasury bonds are less than the 2 year, it doesn't look right but the reason why is not that the sky is falling it is because of large inflows from central Europe that all have negative yields. If your bonds are not exceeding inflation, about 1.85%, allocate more to equites. Some are paying very nice dividends of 6% or more with the added benefit of growth. We will see a recession but not anytime soon. Stocks are off their highs so now would be a good time to make some adjustments.

    You have over 8,000 posts here. Are you claiming you don't have time for a pollster?

    The IRS processes ALL tax returns including Trump's and rich people are frequently audited.

    So, why do you need to see Trump's tax return? What are you going to find that the IRS hasn't?

    It would be a good time to make a dividend play, as you suggest, except for the fact that I think the next recession, possibly only a year away now, will be even worse than the last one! In any event, you have accurately identified the overall strategy that Trump's going forward with -- force, and flush all money possible out of secure investments and into the Wall Street casinos where you can lose your ass in a heartbeat. Short-term gain über alles! Win the election, and then nothing else matters!

    Then, if that is what happens, what is there for millions of Boomers but Social Security -- which hasn't had anything but laughable cost-of-living increases, when there were any at all, in TEN YEARS!

    So 3 years of robo-calls, IRS scams, credit card scams, telemarketers, have not made people less likely to answer unidentified calls? Do you answer unidentified calls?

    Another false poll. You are speaking for an entire party. Did you ask all of them or just read their minds?

    Not a single post resulted in a sales pitch, scam, robocall, or an interruption of my work or home life. I have never had to stop what I am doing to post. Do you answer unidentified calls?

    Sorry the investigation found no evidence that Trump colluded with Russia to influence the election..
    What it did not exonerate him on obstruction of justice. And given how we are now finding out that the investigation was a fraud and unjust in itself how can there possibly be an obstruction of justice?

    We are probably about the same age. Markets don't move so fast that you can't get out if and when a recession is on the horizon. I have been out of bonds for over 5 years. People only think bonds are very safe. They may be, but not always and not if your bonds are washed out by inflation.

    If you are not making what you should from your investments, all I'm saying is there are other ways. 60% equites/40% bonds would still be conservative. Everyone has to do what works for themselves though.

    Funny, I don't remember him giving us a timetable. Or is that your timetable?

    It ain't over til it's over... and it's a long way from over. #TRUMP2020

    Like millions of other American taxpayers. If you've never been 'dinged" by the IRS, you've never made big money. Trump has never been convicted of tax evasion... you are spreading untruths about this president. You should apologize to him. I'll wait.

    So you can post 8,000 times in less than three years, but you can't talk to a pollster without "interruption of my work or home life". Yeah, right. I call BS. Like I told you before, if polling was junk, it would produce junk results.


    Yes.

    Srsly? Always wondered who fell for all those scams. Knew somebody had to or they wouldn't keep calling. Now I know.

    You are right twice in a row; I cannot take a poll call without interrupting my work or home life. Did you notice that not a single post is in the evening or weekend? You calling BS is a good example. You know nothing of my business day, yet think you can speak for me. You don't speak for me any more than one individual can speak for 100,000+.

    Why is it unreasonable for me to scrutinize a claim that 1 person represents the opinions of over 100,000 people when few people even answer these calls? This information is available in the methodology section that almost no one checks.

    Did you get the IRS scam call yet?

    You can't even speak for you. Anyone racking up thousands of posts here (and let's be honest- posting here is a completely meaningless activity, and I'm the first to admit it) has GOBS of free time on their hands.

    I got time for one more. This is entertainment and I enjoy it. My free time comes in many short breaks. I haven't taken a lunch in 30 years. My last reply was interrupted several times by work. I made it through this one in one shot!

    I also haven't taken a lunch in 30 years. I once survived falling out of a plane with no parachute. In WW2.

    I use my home phone as an answering/recording device... and nothing else.

    It's frightening to think that a government that REFUSES even to protect us from robo calls, criminal scammers, unwanted sales pests, and other irritating, bothersome crap is SO CERTAIN that they can protect the country from hostile foreigners.

    Oh, wait... I just remembered about the sh*t we have to put up with from Mexico, Central America, etc., etc., etc. Great job, you office-cluttering, bureaucratic, worthless clock-watchers.... :unclesam:
