You are for "nationalizing" the banking system which is also a joke upon a joke upon a joke. If you think I will go pages in a debate upon this subject you are sorely mistaken. But the joke is what isis isis isis isis, I guess we call that ISIS. Whatever, next page...

Nationalizing banks is a great idea. State owned banks with one job and one job only: Provide the best possible savings and loans to people at cost. Anyone who wants to play at investment gambling banking can do so with their own money.

North Dakota is a good example of success. But without cleaning the house of the current banking crew, putting that ass in jail, which will never happen, all else is a puff in the wind. We know that. Next....

I want one of those. I would replicate RI over and over and we could all just sit on the damn beach drunk as hell in the Caribbean and argue with each other and listen to those steel drums. I like they way they sound.

Mazars and Deutsche Bank could have ended this nightmare before it started.
They could still get him out of office.
But instead, they want mass death.
Don’t forget that.

He's finally going to trial. Bit oxymoronic, reading 'heart' and Martin Shkreli in the same sentence.

Business

The fascinating legal argument at the heart of the Martin Shkreli ‘Pharma Bro’ trial



...........At the heart of his team’s legal argument is this question: Is his alleged wrongdoing worth a criminal conviction if his investors did not lose money?

Shkreli — who is often called “Pharma Bro” on social media — became infamous for increasing the price of a vital drug used by AIDS patients by 5,000 percent and then publicly lamenting that he didn’t raise it more. But federal authorities say they arrested him because he also lied to his investors about how he was using their cash. None of those investors, however, lost money. Some even made a big profit, largely because Shkreli’s bet on a biopharmaceutical start-up paid off.

‘Gag’ Pharma and Martin Shkreli is far more appropriate

Martin Shkreli trial: Prosecutors ask judge to gag ‘Pharma Bro’

Even federal prosecutors want loud-mouth “Pharma Bro” Martin Shkreli to shut up.

Prosecutors trying the notorious 34-year-old for securities fraud asked Judge Kiyo Matsumoto on Monday for a gag order to keep Shkreli from running his mouth and ruining their case.

Shkreli is “attacking prosecutors [and] public figures” and “trying to turn this trial into a circus as part of a deliberate strategy to obtain jury nullification rather than have the jury focus on and carefully consider the evidence,” acting U.S. Attorney Bridget Rohde wrote to the judge.
