Big mistake, Donald. You want to know who's got zero chance? Look in the mirror, buddy. Awesome crowd reaction from the Ron Paul faithful.

Trump's complete CPAC 2011 speech...
He wants to be your President...
Quotes
“The United States has become a whipping post for the rest of the world…There is a reason why the United States is the laughing stock of the world.”
“This country is in serious trouble…Our current president came out of nowhere. In fact I will go a step further. The people that went to school with him never saw him, they don’t know who he is, it’s crazy…. With no track record”
“We don’t have free trade, I am a fair trade believer, I love open markets.”
“Worse than China worse than everyone; OPEC they are ripping us.”
“High oil and gas prices and how we have no one assigned to beating the oil price down to a reasonable rate.”
“So you have to watch OPEC, you have to tell OPEC those prices are coming down.”
Trump also addressed how he thought it was an April fools joke that Germany just bought the NYSE.

In 1991, unable to pay a $3.5 billion loan, Donald declared business bankruptcy. Not even a year later, Trump Plaza Hotel folded and Donald had to declare bankruptcy again. The saga didn’t stop there. In 2004, Donald filed for bankruptcy protection and restructured his debt. Unfortunately the reemergence didn’t last long. On February 17th 2009, Donald Trump filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy with a debt ratio of $50 million in assets to his $500 million in debt.
Donald you are just like Congress, you have spent your life spending more than you bring in and living on somebody else’s dime.

Donald and Obama both like Universal health care, Donald and Obama both like gun control, Donald and Obama obviously both like bankruptcy because Donald has done it multiple times and Obama is heading there with the Nation, Donald and Obama both have pro choice pasts, Donald and Obama both adore Charles Rangel, Chuck Schumer, Harry Reid, Kennedys, John Kerry, and Rahm Emanuel.
“I generally oppose gun control, but I SUPPORT THE BAN ON ASSAULT WEAPONS and I support a slightly LONGER WAITING PERIOD to purchase a gun. With today’s Internet technology we should be able to tell within 72-hours if a potential gun owner has a record.”

"I’m a conservative on most issues but a LIBERAL ON HEALTH. It is an unacceptable but accurate fact that the number of uninsured Americans has risen to 42 million. Working out detailed plans will take time. But the goal should be clear: Our people are our greatest asset. We must take care of our own. We must have UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE.
Our objective [should be] to make reforms for the moment and, longer term, to find an equivalent of the single-payer plan that is affordable, well-administered, and provides freedom of choice. Possible? The good news is, yes. There is already a system in place-the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program-that can act as a guide for all healthcare reform. It operates through a centralized agency that offers considerable range of choice. While this is a government program, it is also very much market-based. It allows 620 private insurance companies to compete for this market. Once a year participants can choose from plans which vary in benefits and costs".

Your "Hope and change", is more of the same...
I'm glad you said that. I thought that was Z too but blamed it on the drugs. Who do I blame it on now?

Stop jacking off to Fox News.
Donald would curl up so tight to the FED it would be amazing (that is where the money is, and Donald loves money).
You lost me on that last comment Cheyenne, I am not sure what you mean...
When I started commenting on and not just reading this blog, there was this one weirdo named Z. And there was this other dude who kept calling Z Gobie.
And confusion reined.
Then Z started posting under yet other aliases, and this same dude kept calling old Gobie out to the point where I could visualize this fucking loser myself. The SAT question is merely a reminder that we are dealing with one seriously confused and possibly disturbed young man.
God you two are boring. The Daily Bail "something but not blogger" is the only one I find interesting.
Gomp, you used to be less of a broken old record. The last original thing you said was a long time ago. Your comments used to be close to interesting when you could debate my comments.
The other one, Cheyenne, who gives a shit about you. Sorry but you have never said anything interesting. I just skip over you. Your entire identity seems to be all about old man Gomp. Why you care SO MUCH about Hopey Changey, God only knows.
Trump is on fire. Hopey changey that his investigation is going well. Can't wait to see what he digs up.
Cheyenne is posting better comments than you these days, and has impecable taste in cars, here is one for you.

T. Dar,
The Tea Party took that left turn in Ohio when they backed the Lehman Brothers Managing Director candidate with NRA F's on his resume for his stance on the semi auto rifle ban and high capacity mags...

Why dont you two get it going like ya's did last year............? That was fun to follow....! I was evan ruttin for you to out do that Texas Guy, becouse yr such a good speller. & that Dar guy neaver knew what "WTF" he was talkin about in the first place.....
And you always put him in his place. Come on Zarsta, lets see if ya still got what it takes...? He's eazy to find, he only has one name, "Texas Dar".............so you should be able to find him.........
If not, ask Cheyenne ......................or................S. Gompers , they should know how to find him. I know he was just kicked of a Tea Party web site for saying Donald may be a plant by Obama, and its all a trap for the bithers.......?
Well, its good to see your back in here giving all of us something to look forward too....................... "Darwin" ?
My great comments are always deleted by the dungeon master Daily Bail "something but not blogger". He realized many moons ago that one small comment from me can spoil the slant and spin that he may try to apply to a story. My comments act like kryptonite to any politically biased leftist spin, they quickly cut to the bone. I see it and swat it down like a trite fly. Okay, you can call them “truth bombs”, thanks Charley. You wouldn’t think that my one comment put in a comment section for his devotees (in the past) would be so damaging but they were always put on a pedestal. It’s what my points seemed to demand. It is just one person’s opinion but I do understand, they bite and they are smart and they smart. I can’t help it, it just happens. I don’t post here too much anymore. Lately, my quips are just for the Daily Bail “something but not blogger”. He or his partner get them and delete them and that’s what I anticipate. They are not minion fodder for Gomp and Cheyenne. When the minions do read them, I get the standard stale insults back.
Trump Rudy 2012 or maybe Trump Bachmann 2012, it’s still early but Trump might just earn the spot by 86ing the fraud from Kenya (the guy who only spent one year at Columbia). No grade Barry, the Indonesian POTUS. The “I met my wife in class” confused “boy” (thanks Jimmy Carter). The “clean and articulate”, let’s have a summit community organizer. Yikes! Time is running out on Barry Barack Saebarkah Obama Soetoro Duncan. Your Kenyan grandmother witnessed your birth and now she is silenced. You white grandmother went the way of David Kellermann and Ashley Turton, such strange timing. Barry and his team flew out to Hawaii and scrubbed the place clean, will there be anything left for Trump.
TDAR, Trump may do more harm than good. Let’s hope that he is truly a great American. I don’t trust him but so far he has done a good thing. We shall see.
This message will self destruct in 5 seconds…well, 5 seconds after DB or his partner gets it.
Yes, becouse we do need somebody with real balls to ask Obama the question. I dought anyone will run with Trump, they all know better...........
Lets say he dose run and wins, he is Still a lot better than what we got. We can track back who he is and whAre he came from......
If this is a trick on the people and Obama put Trump up to this, hang on to yr "Ass".................

This is a must-see 10-face pileup. Michael Jackson limps in at number 4.
I cannot fucking believe how much has transpired over the last week or so especially with the Mass AG filing suit against the banks the the MF global thing. Climtegate 2.0 and other major energy developments have kept me very occupied and some of the e-mails have allowed me to pick up on a trail that was lost some years ago...I smell blood! There are still 220,000 e-mails that need a password to unlock and I hope that that happens soon. (if anonymous wants to help out please feel free to do so). I am certain that the world bank and various other banking entities will be mentioned in the remaining locked e-mails and we will have a field day with it when they are unlocked.
On that note we all know that physicists are employed by the federal reserve and I see some more bad math going on. Here is a little something to ponder.

Check out the links in this one!
Lots of action, to be sure.
Great link. That Warren-Geithner clip could not possibly further expose Timmy as a sniveling liar. How about this Q&A...
Q. Was Treasury aware of who AIG counterparties were?
A. I was not Secretary of the Treasury at the time.
If I'd been in Warren's shoes, Tim would have heard that question again.
Separately, did you see 60 Minutes' piece tonight on loan fraud at Countrywide AND MBS fraud at Citi? I was stupefied at the forthright reporting and relentless F-bomb-dropping. Denninger put the clips up fast.
Yes, the 60 Minutes piece was awesome. The Richard Bowen emails to Robert Rubin et al. are my go-to for explaining the bailouts to people who just don't know what c*** s***ers Obama and Holder are. And now that shit's on 60 Minutes for granma and granpa to see. That US attorney shmuck on there is SO busted.
That email listing Rubin as the lead recipient is a crippler. It has "broken internal controls" literally written all over it, and days later Rubin is swearing out statements, under penalty of jail, that "internal controls are fine."
When confronted with this evidence and asked why no prosecutions had been launched, the U.S. Attorney's pat response is that criminal intent is difficult to prove. That response (the same one offered by Tony Valukas in a Wednesday-before-Thanksgiving roundtable discussion that included Yves Smith, aired on PBS I think) warranted but did not get a few follow-up questions:
1. If intent is so hard to prove, why was William Black able to do it in 1085 cases in connection with the (1/100th as large) S&L crisis in the early 1990s? Is the man a magician?
2. Aren't assessments about whether the evidence required to prove a case made only AFTER a criminal referral has been submitted and thoroughly reviewed? Why has your office prepared ZERO criminal referrals? Black's office submitted 10,000 such referrals. Isn't your not-guilty conclusion premature as a matter of law?
3. Elsewhere you boast of your office's prosecution banking executives at mom-and-pop banks? Why is intent so easy to prove where the behavior at issue occurs at a smaller bank? There's not a separate system of justice reserved exclusively for Wall Street bailout banks, is there?
4. Given the intent requirement as you understand it, under what fact pattern could ANYONE be convicted of a Sarbox violation?
Those omissions aside, Croft's piece was outstanding. There was one slip-up about 2/3 way through, when Croft asked about widespread fraud by the BORROWERS. Frankly, I find it hard to believe a bona fide fraud case could ever stick to a borrower. One of the black letter legal elements of a fraud case is reliance. If you offer to sell me a Rolex and show me a turd, that's a misrepresentation to be sure but not one that I would reasonably rely on. Given the massive data set loan originators have access to--data not just on the particular borrower but on thousands of borrowers in his same demographic--it's next to absurd to think that a bank would reasonably rely on a borrower's fabrications about his income and credit history.
No, the fraud was on the part of the lenders, and that's what the FBI was howling about when in 2004 it reported nationwide systemic fraud within the lending institutions. And that's really the tell: if FBI agents knew those loans wouldn't be repaid, then it's impossible that lending officers (and others) didn't know exactly the same thing. THAT is what made those loans fraudulent--knowledge by the lending institutions that those loans were no good.
And that doesn't even reach the next stage of fraud, namely, the packaging and sale of those shitty loans to investors.

Awesome story. I remember seeing that a few weeks back. The guy admits he was scared, but he's got balls nonetheless. Good on him!
As a number of people have pointed out, the whole point of Sarbox is to get around the "intent" problem. While theoretically I find that problematic, practically speaking it should be used to ream these crooks like they deserve to be. Maybe you should try to talk to the guy, or at least get a response email from the office -- btw are you still filming? If not, you could still intend (sic) to use the info as part of the DVD "extras" or something.
I dunno, don't mean to give marching orders -- I just want this guy to answer the damn questions!
Pitch, Ph.D--
We finished filming a couple weeks ago. We had a serious illness and had to scramble. It was crazy. Then Johnny Lira, who lives nearby, showed up in the bar where we were filming and we got into a huge argument. Ruben, a 300-lb. Mexican friend who's known me and Lira for 10 years, was able to calm things down enough to where the cameraman felt safe coming back.
But the drinks kept flowing and the melee was inevitable, I suppose. I was screaming at Lira when he punched me in the face. He hits super hard for a guy that weighs about 155. Normally the pain is scary bad and forestalls further nonsense, but Chimay is stern stuff. This time I tackled him, but in so doing stepped on Ruben's foot, which had just recently had a toe or 2 amputated due to diabetes. I'm still having nightmares about the weird animal sounds that came out of his mouth when that happened.
For some reason, though, it struck everyone as funny at the time and we all started laughing as tears streamed down Ruben's cheeks. Some of that might make the final cut, or not. Sean the director says it's hilarious. I haven't seen it yet.
Ruben. Peak gross income year: 1973. Amount: $270,000. Uhhh, that's a lot. He went to prison for "selling drugs without a license." He quickly took over all prison inventory operations and was discharged shortly thereafter. He's an extremely valuable friend to me when I don't know what I'm doing, which is most of the time. I decided I wanted to throw huge parties when I turned 42. I succeeded because I ran it by Ruben, the ultimate detail man.
Fox. He watched Caddyshack at 61st and 1st in Manhattan, i.e., Rodney Dangerfield's co-op. And he watched it with Rodney's free-wheeling commentary, and Fox's memory for that sort of stuff is superb. He lived on the same floor of the same apartment for awhile, right down the street from me. They don't like each other but that's too fucking bad.
Lira. After taking the WBA boxing championship as a lightweight, he became an assistant pit boss and Vegas, and then a semafor at the CBOT. He also knows sign language since he was deaf from the ages of 6 to 8. His recollections fueled by Pinot Grigio are simply jaw-dropping.
Each one of those guys has had way more dough run through their fingers than I have, and my hands are pretty chalky. It just goes to show one thing: old dog, in this day and age, you best be learnin' a new trick.
My recollection: As a Southern boy from North Carolina having lived in Chicago for 30 months and quite bored with predictably squeamish and ill-informed opinions on the joys of firepower, in late 1996 I ventured down to Old Town and ran into Sergio at his bar, Weed's. He was in the middle of tirade about the media's failure to cover the remarkable number of evenings where a drunken homeowner returned to the cave amid loaded firearms, WITHOUT CONSEQUENCE, and slept safely.
I looked at Sergio.
"I'll be keeping my eye on you."
* * *
Sergio recalls that he was telling a story, and every time he tried to end it, I said (according to him): is that it/are you done?
Thank Jesus Lira wasn't there, or I wouldn't have recalled that much.
