The Hunts were trying to monopolize silver and they got burned big time. I was managing a corporate fund and invested in silver mining, took over a year to get out with a tidy profit. I was really pissed off about that abuse of power.

(9,363 posts)10. Reagan was a nothing when he was governor of California
He talked down to us (yes, I lived there then) like we were children. He took that to the White House. He really never improved.

but themselves. trumpcult is immune to these musings, calling them appeasers.
This trial balloon will fail. Especially when the House hearings blow up the roof and Republicans with it.
