It was, actually. You even came in here and posted threads about some of it that you got duped by.



The thread is there for everyone to see, it's the one about Venezuela. I've linked it to you in the past. You might remember it as the one that showed I was better able to predict interest rates than you were.

What's funny is that the prediction was easy to make. It didn't take a genius to know that rates were going to stay low until economic and inflation expectations increased.

Link the post. Let's see it.

By all means link the polls that you think are ridiculous, based on your deep knowledge of polling and statistics. I already asked once for you to do that and instead you responded with incoherent ranting.



You realize how ironic it is for you to say that after just regurgitating right wing propaganda, right?

What about that one that got released just after the last debate. Didn't it show Hill at +10? Ohh, and that guy was paid $250k or so from her super pacs, you know, the ones she coordinated with. Gotta love Wikileaks and FEC.

I've linked it to you before, now you're asking me to link it to you again? What's wrong with your memory? I'm on my phone and I'm not searching for it but I'm sure you can easily find it if you want.

Link the poll and state explicitly what parts of it make it 'fake'.

You didn't link anything before. You made a statement and ran from it.

You obviously know nothing about bonds.

The election proves they were fake. They were so ridiculously out of line with reality that the only plausible conclusion is that they were a disinformation campaign.

So in other words you're just making up bullshit. Thanks for confirming!

It's hard to decide what would be worse, you trying to lie to us about these polls or if you actually believe what you're saying.

Do you? You haven't been right about anything. Especially rates going up 70-80 *POINTS*.

You were the one who claimed they would rise by that many basis points, not me. I was right and you were wrong.

Again, it wasn't even a difficult prediction to make. Sad you couldn't get even an easy call like that right.

Where did I say that?

I love how LK shows up to deflect from the subject of the thread which is Trump U and now the $25M the Donald coughed up to make it disappear. You know since he would have won and all. But hey keep bumping the thread. It probably hasn't had enough visibility yet.

how much money is Bill giving back to Walden students for their shit degrees peddled by a shit for-profit university? What'd he get? $25mm?

So... How is Trump University any different than timeshare seminars - or any other "information" based seminars where they charge money? Same goes with Universities that are diploma windmills that give degrees in joke practices with no real job market? How is that honestly any different?

Either way, a fool and their money are soon parted - it's just a matter of whom takes it.

Maybe Bill Clinton can explain the differential.

The first difference that comes to mind is that Trump made a large number of provably false claims about his scam university. That's called fraud. In addition, materials for the university encouraged people who took those seminars to commit fraud themselves, which is pretty clearly a problem too, no?

Also, is 'if Trump didn't con these people out of their money someone else would' a good defense?

Ohh, you mean like job placement and success of Walden/Laureate students?

How are those default rates for those schools? Ohh, super high? Hmm...

You're deflecting like a child. Grow a pair, if you want to whine about Bill Clinton start a new thread.

Bill Clinton didn't make those claims, unlike Trump. That's why Trump had to pay out tens of millions of dollars in settlements for fraud and Clinton didn't.

Think about that. The president elect just had to pay thousands of people millions of dollars because he committed massive fraud against them. The corruption is just starting too I bet, haha.

No, he didn't commit fraud. He allegedly committed fraud.

I guess english/law isn't a strong suit of yours either, much like statistics.
