The Minsky Moment

Not a direct quote from him, but from people who knew him at the time

Jimmy I don't know who is being quoted in this "people who knew him" block quote but I know there is zero evidence of him having billionaire clients before Wexner.
But if you google Epstein's name with Steven Hoffenberg's you will see he was involved in deals in the 80s that were far less rarified than that.  He was holding himself out to be a glorified debt collector.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

Why is Tim linking to twitter?

Been doing that for the last 2 or 3 years because that's where all the politicians and journalists are.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Makes it more interesting that way.

Really? Is child rape something you can just "fake news" away?

Well, you can't, but perhaps your President can.  ;)

There seems no limit to the tolerance of the Republicans, and large parts of the public, for presidential wrongdoing. What's one child rape more or less?

Trump himself did say he could shoot someone on New York's Fifth Avenue and his fans would still love him...

And yet, he's notably never tested that assertion.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Is this from that lawsuit that was thrown out.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

It wasn't thrown out.  The plaintiff withdrew after threats were made against her.

I assume these threats were in the form of retarded tweets?
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Trump has an ironclad defense: he is too old and obese to have sex with anyone.

He would probably prefer to go down in flames than admit this, however.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Cohen was called Trump's fixer for a reason. Doubtlessly he called her a bunch, threatening to ruin her with lawsuits, maybe hired some goons to intimidate her, typical wannabe mafioso stuff.

These allegations are from 15-20 years ago though.

You're kidding, right? To his base, these aren't "children", and it's not rape. They're femme fatale teenaged "women" who got paid, so what's the big deal? Their lives were made better by being involved in all of this. After all, if it were that bad, why would some of the "women" turn into pimps for him once they got too old to be of use in his bedroom? Clearly it's not that big of a deal.

Sheesh, Valmy. You just don't understand these "women". They'll get you any chance they can.

He wasn't there again today
