monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

I have a positive net worth!

"In theory" it's a huge negative number, but when asked I just ignore all the loans I've never paid back. They don't count. I aint never gunna pay none of them nohow, so why take that **** into account, I ask ya?

So, as a consequence, my net worth right now is around $5. That includes a half a pack of cigarettes and the 35 cents I have in my pockets. Time to start checking doors to see if they're unlocked again tonight. I done blown last week's haul.

I have studied and worked hard, and when I started earning some money, I also saved and invested well. I had the means to travel extensively, and have visited 81 countries. I don't need to apologize to anyone for being successful.

Don't feel stupid at all! My experience was with the USAF for four years working with nukes. The Air Force didn't think I was too stupid either.
After I graduated from college, I went to work for Florsheim Shoe Company as a Field Auditor in the seven western states. After 3.5 years, I was promoted to Audit Manager. I worked in management for the remainder of my working career. I also did consulting work for small businesses, and accumulated enough wealth to save and buy income property, and retired early to travel around the world.

Doesn't kill me at all. Trump is a big failure. He's a racial bigot, liar and con.
Only people like you admire him; the uneducated.
His presidency is one of the worst in history. His disapproval rating is higher than his approval. You must be proud of him.

If you tire of my "blowing the horn" put me on ignore.
I know many accomplished people in this world. I celebrate their accomplishments. A rocket scientist, Bob Brodsky; a college prof at Cal Poly, Richard Pimentel PhD; Dan Piel, graphic artist who has a painting of
John F Kennedy hanging in the Smithonian; several doctors in Tanzania and Singapore - Bashir Samma and Bill Lim. The editor of the English newspaper in Mexico, Francisco Baez - also taught at the university for ten years. Lindsay Hamilton of London, a professional singer and director. There are more.

As a matter of fact, Bob Brodsky has written several books that are biographical that details much of his accomplishments. I've read three of them. He designed the aerodynamics on the first atomic bomb, and taught Astronautics at USC and Iowa State U.

That's not the exclusive definition of "meddling" with an election.

Quote:

...some Russian meddling that obviously didn't impact a single vote?

If someone spreads a false rumor about a candidate in an election and this once-favored candidate loses, I think it's reasonable to accept the spread of the false rumor as having had some impact on the vote, without any additional evidence of ballot fraud. I think the distribution of hacked communications would also qualify as a subversive and criminal action. Whether it cost the candidate a victory is immaterial.

You've just defined campaigning... How is what you've said any different than negative campaign ads

It wasn't illegal for MSNBC to show the partial tax return.

Tax returns are given special privacy protections.

26 U.S. Code § 7213 - Unauthorized disclosure of information

(3) Other persons:

It shall be unlawful for any person to whom any return or return information (as defined in section 6103(b)) is disclosed in a manner unauthorized by this title thereafter willfully to print or publish in any manner not provided by law any such return or return information. Any violation of this paragraph shall be a felony punishable by a fine in any amount not exceeding $5,000, or imprisonment of not more than 5 years, or both, together with the costs of prosecution.

Don't take my word for it, look for yourself:

You've just defined campaigning... How is what you've said any different than negative campaign ads, digging up dirt on a nanny 30 years ago, stuff on Saturday Night Live, opinion pieces, editorials, etc......

Oh... And BTW...They were never denied as being false...But rather, most if not all of it we now know to be true.

US President Donald Trump has said the United States will "solve" the nuclear threat from North Korea, with or without China's help.

"If China is not going to solve North Korea, we will. That is all I am telling you," he said in an interview with UK newspaper the Financial Times.

Pressed on whether he thought he could succeed alone, he replied: "Totally."

Mr Trump was speaking ahead of a scheduled visit from Chinese President Xi Jinping this week.

"China has great influence over North Korea. And China will either decide to help us with North Korea, or they won't. And if they do that will be very good for China, and if they don't it won't be good for anyone," Mr Trump told the FT.

Asked if he meant "one-on-one" unilateral action, Mr Trump said: "I don't have to say any more."

He did not give any further details on what action he would take

I recommend instead of blathers daily fiction you should watch Star Trek reruns...At least that will be a lot less boring.

It just wasn't important to fill the Supreme Court position a year ago. Why now? Don't even say it's not political.
