Ha! True. If I was smart, I should just track the Pelosi trades and copycat invest.Redbrickbear said:Whiskey Pete said:

You don't need to write books in Congress to get rich…you do it by insider trading.
You can spend decades in Congress on a $180,000 salary and end up with $100 million in a massive stock portfolio
never said all R's are bad people. Cruz is just a meow. Would you let Trump slander the **** out of your wife and kiss his ass after. What a wimp. ZERO respect for him relative to that.KaiBear said:J.R. said:
I sure hopes he flames out. Horrible person. Any man who would let Trumps denigrate his wife and then kiss his arse is just despicable . Have some character, you meow.
Come on JR
Not every republican is a 'horrible person'.
LOL
WP is actually correct. never thought I'd say that.Whiskey Pete said:Agree it's not common, but it happens more often than some people think.ron.reagan said:It becomes a lot more likely if they had access to another appraisal that just happened. But still very uncommon.Whiskey Pete said:Friend of mine, about 3 years ago, purchased a $1.9M ranch in Texas. Bank gave him a $1,000,000 loan with no appraisal, no survey, no questions. Of course, he routinely runs huge amounts of money through that same bank too. He's already paid off the loan.KaiBear said:RD2WINAGNBEAR86 said:IThe internet is an amazing thing.

I think JR is legit.
Though when he indicated 'his' bank routinely makes multi million dollar loans without their own appraisals and other aspects of due diligent I laughed out loud .
now LJ.....what is this "lib" you speak of? What exactly is a "lib". I'm not very bright, so please enlighten me.Johnny Bear said:Doc Holliday said:So instead of voting for Cruz and getting fiscal conservatism…you don't and let Democrats win and get the opposite of fiscal conservatism and pro leftist social issues?J.R. said:Never said that, my good man. Cruz is nothing more than a hack and has no values or moral compass. Eff him. As I have mentioned. I fiscally conservative and more moderate on social issues.KaiBear said:J.R. said:

Junior is a lib who just doesn't want to admit it (like a lot of other libs as well).
Ted Cruz’s podcast payments make me think of Speaker Jim Wright’s book sales. Back then, George Will called the book “a money-laundering scam for lining Wright’s pockets with campaign funds.” @ByJosephMorton https://t.co/4X2jCf4yxi

In 2012 about 30% of Ted Cruz's individual donors were out of state.

In 2018 that jumped to 41% as he came off presidential run.
This year he's up to almost 55% of individual donors coming from out of state according to @OpenSecretsDChttps://t.co/BxAylv2tJQ

It's probably AIPAC and MIC money... I thought you loved those causes?
When it comes to domestic issues Cruz is one of the best senators we have.
When it comes to foreign policy, he is a complete shill for Israel.

Its a little more nuanced than that.

I dont pick sides between the Israelis and Iranians or IDF and Hamas... let them fight their own battles with their own blood and treasure.

I said I think Islamofacism is a real threat and we need to be fighting against it.
Where I differ, is I dont think Israel is an ally bcs from what I have seen they dont act like a ally by meddling in our elections, propagandizing our public, and always coming around with their hands out.

Agree to a point.
But it still doesn't justify giving Israel over 20 Billion dollars.
Money that would be far better spent on our own people.
