You should recite the facts correctly. Supposedly, Bannon represented to the public that 100% of donated funds were going to build the wall. In fact, prosecuters allege that ‘hundreds of thousands’ were diverted to pay Banon’s personal bill

Fb, Amazon, Apple and Google ought to keep in mind that the Dems won’t be in control forever. Past history shows that one party controls the presidency for only 1 or 2 terms, the it flips. When the Republicans are back in control, I doubt t

When I bought my house (borrowing roughly 200K) the bank wanted several years of tax returns and basically put my finances under a microscope. Pretty much everything except the anal probe. So, you think a bank that's going to lend Trum

Was he actually charged with soliciting murder? I thought I read that he was not actually charged with that offense, yet the prosecutor mentioned it all the time.

The USPS loses a lot of money. Even ignoring the pension pre-funding issue, it's still cashflow negative. For a supposedly 'private' company that constantly requires bailing out by the US government. The USPS is just another

SpaceX is using first stages that have already flown - that someone else already paid full price for. Kerosine, lox, fairings and a second stage are a lot cheaper than launching from a comepletely new rocket. Now the hat trick will be if Sp

Spacex is going to crush all of it’s competitors. It get’s the launches for the cost of a tank of kerosine and lox. It’s manufacturing its own satellites. These are cost advantages that no one else can match. Once Starlink is operating, th

Pretty shitty. HP has buyer’s remorse, so get the gov’t to file criminal charges. Either HP got snookered because they didn’t conduct a thorough due diligence, or more likely they paid a fair price but botched the merger.
