Fresh optimism over trade drove U.S. stocks to records Monday, extending the market’s recent rally.
Major indexes have managed to break out to all-time highs in the past few days after spending much of the late summer and early fall drifting along in a narrow range.

While a trade deal be­tween the U.S. and China would likely of­fer greater ben­e­fits for ex­port-ori­ented coun­tries in Eu­rope and Asia, an­a­lysts say hopes for a tar­iff cease-fire con­tinue to boost the ap­peal of the world’s largest econ­omy. Growth may be slow­ing, but the 10-year old ex­pan­sion con­tin­ues, mak­ing shares of U.S.-based com­pa­nies more at­trac­tive to those in other de­vel­oped coun­tries with stag­nant growth prospects.

So, again, the prospect of some remedy to the problem Trump himself created makes you moist.   Perhaps we should prepare ourselves for a presidential policy of drowning puppies, and the ensuing hosannas when Trump then rolls it back.

Erdogan didn't like the Kurds having a high degree of autonomy next to the border with Turkley's Kurdish lands.  That's why he invaded.  To separate the Syrian Kurds  from his oppressed Kurds.


Resettling of Syrian refugees from Turkey was the cause

I believe the President's and kiid's response would be something like the returns would show him to be such a brilliant businessman and so successful and rich that the dazzling display of his awesome awesomeness would blind mere mortals and he wants to protect us. Either that or they would show he is nowhere near as rich as he claims, has committed fraud against several lending institutions and is up to his goggle protected eyeballs in debt to Russian banks and Deutschebank. One of the two.

The goggles also prevent bronzer induced conjunctivitis. 

Maybe that he is not so rich.  YG has a point, that tax returns by their nature tend not to reveal fraudulent dealing.   It could well be that his principal reason to balk is just ego. 

[kiidcarter8]

As with "Amazon paid no taxes", they can tend to mislead.

YG may be on to something as far as charitable gifting goes.

Maybe that he is not so rich.  YG has a point, that tax returns by their nature tend not to reveal fraudulent dealing.

Not alone, but the returns can connect the dots.  Who is lending him money, who has he paid out to.  Cohen testified that Trump undervalues assets for tax reasons but then inflates them to get loans from the bank.  You could take the info from the returns and cross reference with bank dealings.  And if he misrepresented how much say a property is worth to a bank, that’s fraud.

Trump has had to submit to a minimum level of financial disclosure that is required to run for President.  If he wasn’t wealthy I think that would show up there.  Nor do I think he is holding the returns out because he gives a flying fuck if people know how much he gives to charity.

The returns may be a key block for building a case for an organization that doubtless lies and cheats whenever it suits them financially.  See previous analysis the Times did on summary numbers from his 1985-1995 returns.

It’s the existence in the accounting firm’s possession of multiple sets of books, some for investors and some for tax entities that has the cancerous limp phallus worried.

Of Course, because we should all take Turkey's intentions at face value and in no way question what their true motivations were, because obviously their dealings with Putin and Iran are on the up and up.

More like fucking Suzuki. Or at least dry humping him. I have not seen that look on Trump's face since his last go round at flag fucking.

It is curious that as the US found itself waging a global war against Muslim fundamentalists, it chose to overthrow Saddam's secular regime, undermine Assad's similar Baathist gov't, and bomb Qaddafi out of existence. 
Also, dropped Mubarak like a rock and was willing to engage with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. 

All of which brought more power and influence to the religious gov'ts of Iran and Saudi Arabia.  And the nascent Muslim nationalism of Turkey's Erdogan.

So the US has helped wipe out the ME secularists and allowed the religious fundamentalists to flourish.

Poor advice to Washington by its supposed experts?
Maybe they should've listened to Luee from this forum instead.
