That last pic is of Lone Mountain. Looks like there's at least a few ways to die coming off that.

Any thoughts on these ♦️♦️♦️ coming off that 11k ft summit at big sky ?

That’s right - GT is near Jackson Hole. Not been there yet either and it’s getting talked up as a destination. We’re just so locked into the convenience of SLC, reliable quality of snow, and multiple resorts. but Big Sky anyone - yay or nay ?

speaking of grand targhee, do most people ski both there and Big Sky when they travel to ski MT ? Never skied MT but Big Sky came up on my Utah trip a few weeks ago. Regarding Big Sky, I looked at the trail map and that 11k ft summit of Lone Mountain seems intense - looks to have some big boy routes down.

Sanders really has to get out in front of this aggressive Bernie Bro follower stereotype and squash any ambiguity about this NOT being acceptable. He's offered some tepid denunciations, but absent a repeated, sustained, definitive stance against this, it WILL become a real liability. This is a perfect set up for false flag vandalism and other misattributed delinquent acts that will use the language and catch words of 'socialism.' It's the kind of shit that is right up Trump and Putin's alley.

For one, it ties directly to evidence that Trump repeatedly lied to the Special Counsel, obvious felonies. "In written responses to the prosecutors last year, Trump stated, “I do not recall discussing WikiLeaks with [Stone], nor do I recall being aware of Mr. Stone having discussed WikiLeaks with individuals associated with my campaign.” Trump also told Mueller: “I do not recall being told during the campaign that Roger Stone or anyone associated with my campaign had discussions with any of the entities named in the question [including WikiLeaks] regarding the content or timing of release of hacked emails.”"

Except it wasn’t one conversation in passing. It was multiple conversations sustained over time, the subject of which was reinforced by at least two others we know of.

That’s by design. Meanwhile Trump and his loyal actors under the hood chewing up all the wires to the engine. We’re well past the point of even remotely joking about this.

Evidence obtained from several search warrants showed Stone was in direct communication with Guccifer 2.0 and Wikileaks. According to Special Counsel, Stone’s obstruction and false statements “did not arise in a vacuum,” but rather were made in “the course of an investigation into possible links” between Russian hackers, WikiLeaks, and US persons (including Stone himself).

No, Trump and Stone were in communication about Wiki email drops multiple times over a sustained period of time, and others were in the loop for Trump's knowledge including Gates and Manafort. It was a roll out. I'm trying to find the court transcript from Judge Jackson who gave a lengthy speech yesterday explaining this. and what JBJ said above is false.

She's got the legislative accomplishments to back it up.

this takes billionaire influence to a whole other level: Newly Minted CNN Contributor Andrew Yang Claims Bloomberg Is Actively Asking Major Dem Donors to Sit Out Primary “Sorry, but could you say that again?” CNN reporter Dana Bash pressed. “Mike Bloomberg is calling donors saying ‘Don’t give to my opponents?'” “Mike Bloomberg is calling donors, saying: ‘Hey, just sit this out, I got this, I’ll bankroll the whole thing. Just don’t donate to anybody.” “You heard this or know this?” Chris Cuomo said, jumping in. “I heard it from a major donor,” Yang replied. “Your donor?” Bash asked. “Yes,” Yang confirmed. “A donor said that. And it’s a person who donates to a number of candidates, ordinarily, says these are the phone calls that Mike’s been making.”

Stone better hope Trump doesn't have a stroke snorting adderall before December.

So much manipulation. Not that Trump will let his co-conspirator go to prison anyway. Trump will just use the enhancement to justify his claim that it's "not fair".

The Wall Street Journal Excluded Elizabeth Warren From a Poll...Because They Wanted To? "On Tuesday night, Senator Professor Warren was the victim of one of the the most egregious offenses ever committed by a major news organization. In conjunction with the Wall Street Journal, the fine hand of which I suspect was involved in what follows, NBC News released its latest polling data. The general overall numbers were pretty much as expected, except Bernie Sanders’s lead had grown. Joe Biden, Mike Bloomberg, Pete Buttigieg, and SPW were in a virtual dead-heat for second. National polling in a primary campaign can be dismissed as largely irrelevant, but the railbirds among political journalists make a big deal out of them, so we talk about them like they really mean something. However, it was elsewhere in the polling where the real malignant mischief was done. [...] The poll, from NBC and the Wall Street Journal, found Warren was effectively tied for second place nationally, with 14% of the vote. But pollsters excluded her from a series of match-ups between Trump and top candidates. The poll include Pete Buttigieg, Joe Biden, and Mike Bloomberg, who all polled within a point of Warren, and Amy Klobuchar, who trailed significantly behind them. Peter Hart, whose firm conducted the poll, told BuzzFeed News that the poll had “space and time” for just five candidate match-ups. cont." As mentioned above, it's not throwing away your votes in the primaries. If it's a brokered convention, you want your candidate to be in the discussion. Warren is right there, so vote for her now, and for whomever the eventual nominee is later. I fully expect some surprises, especially from Bloomberg camp. They are calculating and sophisticated. I saw something a day or so ago about Bloomberg's oppo book on Sanders and that they're sitting on some searing stuff, with the word "disqualifying" being used. He didn't spill it yet, so who knows. Having more than one horse is completely fine, if not protective right now.

The difference here is what DR said in 2017 is being confirmed by Assange today with his extradition hearings underway.

corrupt collusion on meth

For all the chafing about billionaires influencing politics, that’s the most tangible evidence of their ‘invisible hand’ slapping us in the face right there. I can only imagine what purist won’t be calling attention to it.

Bloomberg on Banking Reform: U.S. Democratic presidential hopeful Bloomberg unveils plan to rein in Wall Street "NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg on Tuesday outlined a sweeping financial services policy proposal to rein in Wall Street trading, boost consumer protections, increase Americans' access to banking services, and crack down on financial crime. The left-leaning platform marks a striking turnaround for the former Republican New York mayor who made his $60 billion fortune in financial services and who in the past has criticized reforms introduced following the 2007-2009 financial crisis. Among the most eye-catching proposals is a tax of 0.1% on transactions in stocks, bonds and payments on derivative contracts, bolstering the "Volcker Rule" ban on proprietary trading, and setting a trading speed limit - all of which take aim at Wall Street clients of Bloomberg Inc's trading terminal. The proposal also pledges to reinforce protections eroded by the Trump administration by boosting bank capital levels, toughening banks' annual health checks, and restoring the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's rules curbing payday lending and ban on imposing mandatory arbitration on consumers. Bloomberg also on Tuesday waded into the long-running debate on the future of housing finance giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which were bailed out during the crisis, proposing to merge them to ensure taxpayers are fully compensated for the risks While Bloomberg's platform does not go as far as proposals backed by progressive rival presidential candidates Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, who have called for big banks to be broken up, it underscores how far the Democratic Party is moving to the left on financial and corporate policy issues. cont."

I'm just being brief and to the point.

^^^ That stuff really misses it. Warren actually understands it: "This week, the Warren Campaign put out its plan to “rein in Wall Street” – their words not mine – including some hyper-specific proposals to completely blow up the private equity business model and offer access to plain vanilla banking services directly from the Federal government. Elizabeth Warren is a much more dangerous candidate for the banking industry than Bernie Sanders ever was, because Warren actually understands how all this stuff works, while Bernie just shouts the loudest. She’s done the research. She’s documented all the ways in which finance acts counterproductively for the economy and channels more of the available wealth to its own executives – in many cases while laying the risk off onto other parties and even regular people. [...] My plan would transform the private equity industry and end this looting with a comprehensive set of legal changes, including: Putting private equity firms on the hook for the debts of companies they buy, making them responsible for the downside of their investments so that they only make money if the companies they control flourish. -Holding private equity firms responsible for certain pension obligations of the companies they buy, so that workers have a better shot of getting the retirement funds they earned. -Eliminating the ability of private equity firms to pay themselves huge monitoring fees and limiting their ability to pay out dividends to line their own pockets. -Changing the tax rules so that private equity firms don’t get sweetheart tax rates on all the debt they put on the companies they buy. -Modifying bankruptcy rules so that when companies go bust, workers have a better shot at getting pay and benefits and executives can’t pocket special bonuses. -Preventing lenders and investment managers from making reckless loans to private equity-owned companies already swimming in debt and then passing along the danger to the market by requiring them to retain some of the risk. -Empowering investors like pension funds with better information about the performance and effects of private equity investments and preventing private equity funds from requiring investors to waive their fiduciary obligations. -Closing the carried interest loophole that lets firm managers pay ultra-low tax rates on the money they loot. Like a skilled acupuncturist, she knows all the pressure points. Even if you disagree with her violently negative view of finance, you have to admit that she understands and articulates how it works, and how it fails, better than anyone else who has ever run for President. In a world where Warren becomes the Democratic nominee for President, you would see the entirety of the financial services lobby work furiously to reelect President Trump (and, by extension, Mick Mulvaney), who have done more to deregulate the sector in two and a half years than any President (and advisor) in modern history, including Bill Clinton and Robert Rubin in the mid 90’s."

crickets.

Trump interests aside, in my view, the disconnect arises from Liz arguably being a bigger threat to the establishment than the Sandman, a threat to big banks in particular. Maybe BS has detailed plans to rein in the banksters doing the next bankster thing, and that whole other world of offshore banking and international money laundering into the US, but I haven'y heard much about it from him. It'd be great if he does and he's serious, just that Liz is taking it head on. Follow the money. That IS the establishment.
