Our esteemed board scribe talking all things standard banking ops, investment banking, VC, etc might be the best entertainment I have seen on this board 😂 😂 😂 💪💪😇😇🙏🙏
I will play =>
What are standard banking operations for SVB?
How are they different from investment banking or VC?
Biden’s April 2022 Remark About Some Ukraine Aid Covering Pensions Is Not ‘Breaking’ News
"President Joe Biden said in April 2022 that some of the funding in a Ukraine aid package that Congress later overwhelmingly approved could be used to pay pensions for Ukrainians amid the ongoing war with Russia.... The US Tax Payers Will Now Be PAYING The Pensions & Welfare For The People Of Ukraine. This, While MILLIONS Of Americans Can’t Pay for Food, Housing, Or Medical care Due To Biden’s Policies. Also, While Thousands Of Americans Are HOMELESS & On The Street!”
“If history teaches us anything,” Reagan argued, “it teaches that simple-minded appeasement or wishful thinking about our adversaries is folly. It means the betrayal of our past, the squandering of our freedom.”
“I urge you to beware the temptation of pride,” he said, “the temptation of blithely declaring yourselves above it all and label both sides equally at fault, to ignore the facts of history and the aggressive impulses of an evil empire, to simply call the arms race a giant misunderstanding and thereby remove yourself from the struggle between right and wrong and good and evil.”
“I urge you to beware the temptation of pride,” he said, “the temptation of blithely declaring yourselves above it all and label both sides equally at fault, to ignore the facts of history and the aggressive impulses of an evil empire, to simply call the arms race a giant misunderstanding and thereby remove yourself from the struggle between right and wrong and good and evil.”
Ronald Reagan:
We must be staunch in our conviction that freedom is not the sole prerogative of a lucky few, but the inalienable and universal right of all human beings. So states the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which, among other things, guarantees free elections. The objective I propose is quite simple to state: to foster the infrastructure of democracy, the system of a free press, unions, political parties, universities, which allows a people to choose their own way to develop their own culture, to reconcile their own differences through peaceful means.
This is not cultural imperialism, it is providing the means for genuine self-determination and protection for diversity. Democracy already flourishes in countries with very different cultures and historical experiences. It would be cultural condescension, or worse, to say that any people prefer dictatorship to democracy. Who would voluntarily choose not to have the right to vote, decide to purchase government propaganda handouts instead of independent newspapers, prefer government to worker-controlled unions, opt for land to be owned by the state instead of those who till it, want government repression of religious liberty, a single political party instead of a free choice, a rigid cultural orthodoxy instead of democratic tolerance and diversity?

Unfortunately the US is $31 trillion in debt and we don't have the financial luxury to support the world. In the chart I saw the next 9 countries that have contributed to Ukraine military aid have only contributed about 32% of what we have, the next 9 countries.
Mr. Biden said that when heard about the classified documents being kept at Mar-a-Lago, he wondered how “anyone could be that irresponsible.”

In other less critical news - Remember when people on this board said the government was not coming for gas appliances - well
I guess they were not informed or lied to us all
Water Heaters & Furnaces - No gas allowed

And speaking of getting your news via Twitter, I seem to recall certain posters here describing this story, when it broke, as proof of Biden and DOJ corruption. Turns out you were just defending another child predator and pedophile.
Our esteemed board scribe has emerged from the DC bars and bass filled lakes to wow
us with his uncanny investigative work yet again 😂 😂 💪💪
That’s all u got? You spent four or five days pining away for my presence. Then I return, and that’s it?
You really should decide whether or not you are gay, and whether this attraction you have is worthwhile. I am straight, married to a woman and have two grown children. So, you should probably look elsewhere. Sorry to disappoint you.
You know, if all these Republicans would lose their infatuation with Trump and let him follow his natural course, he might not miss out on his true calling — starring in a straight to video blockbuster with his buddy Ron Jeremy.
You assuming I was pining for you is hilarious but just another sad example of your narcissism.
Coming out as a blue-blooded narcissist is a brave thing so you are to be applauded.
The irony of you claiming anyone else has an infatuation with Trump is hilarious 😂 😂 😂
Narcissist huh? You weren’t pining away for me? Your words:
“This might be a record - no posts on this thread since last Thursday night - wow our friends from the "left" side must be awaiting their talking points memo 😇”
You are so pathetic you can’t even think of anything worthwhile to say unless I say something to say. Pretty sad existence, Mr. Three Branches of Gubmit.

Can’t wait to see TaliDon’s mug shot. He gonna have to issue a new batch of digital coins with his face shot on the front and his profile shot on the back.
Maybe they can get him before he does his hair and makeup. That would be a great photo.
You know TaliDon is so vain he will probably want to bring his own production crew to take his mugshots.

Do you get all your news from social media? You sure post a lot of social media.
A mind is a terrible thing to waste.
As Xi left Putin and the Kremlin Tuesday he said,
"Right now there are changes the likes of which we haven't seen for 100 years," Xi told Putin. "And we are the ones driving these changes together."
In the early 1900’s the conservatives favored nationalism and international isolation in response to the industrial revolution and a rapidly changing world. Right wing Nationalism occurred throughout Europe leading to Fascist states and eventually war.
Teddy Roosevelt split the party. Will Trump?
Now the digital age and the rapid pace of change threatens conservatives who want reign in globalization and promote isolationist Nationalism.

The strength of their nations?
How has Russia done anything but expose the weakness of its nation and the complete cynical corruption of its society?
They can’t even put trucks into the field of battle without dry-rotted tires. They have to recruit criminals out of their prisons to put enough troops in the field, then they send them off to die using WW I trench warfare tactics. The ones who are have not died are now reaching the end of their 6-month amnesty agreements and so, hardened murderers will be released back into Russian society.
Look at all the European countries laughing at Putin and Russia as a paper tiger. Sweden, Finland, Poland, the Baltics. Even Georgia and Kazakhstan are gleeful at Russia’s military failure.
As for China, Xi doesn’t favor a global world order? I guess I missed him pulling out of the WTO and their other multilateral trade agreements. Xi is playing Putin for the fool that he has been exposed to be. In 10 years or less, China will basically own the Russian oil fields, assuming there is a Russia in 10 years. Xi is laughing all the way back to Beijing.

Not sure why you think Russia is strong nation? Their supposed military strength is clearly over stated after their fiasco in the Ukraine. Over 50% of Russia GDP is energy export and nearly 70% of their GDP is commodities. Not strong.
wokeism isn't all bad. here is an example. stupid and lazy getting to feel important.
Well that would explain why Germany and France are giving token support of the war in ukraine ,while we are footing the bill.
Doesn't explain why we're subsidizing a war with such an "obviously" weak opponent . European countries should have no problem containing them
You can bet russia and china are not interested in the new world order progressives desire.
“The New World Order that progressives desire.” Care to explain this new world order?
Would that be NATO? The WTO that Republican presidents put in motion? The EU that Merkell championed?
Or is it some other thing that the progressives in the underground river in the US are hatching?

Russia is on a long downward slide. They attacked Ukraine before they got even weaker.
It’s not digital. Strong/weak. They are weaker than they used to be but still dangerous.
I’m all for subsidizing Ukraines defense against Russia. Aren’t you?
If not, where does it stop?
I don’t know what the new world order is?
Are you a conspiracy guy?
Apparently containing communism is “woke” these days. Poor Ronnie is tired from rolling over so many times.
First of all, I was stating a fact not "pining" for anyone. Additionally reading and spelling should be fundamental for such a decorated scribe as yourself - that "s" on the end refers to ALL of the people on the "left" side of the aisle not just you my narcissistic "elite".
There you go again proving yourself a narcissist!
