Trump MAGAThread III: Steak, Vodka, Casinos, and America

[Alvecia]

Nah, appears I can't read instead. Missed your comment about "and how many happened in the USA between 1980 and 2017 according to this list", just focused on the first bit.

I think we have plenty evidence to state that it is likely that regulation are not the cause there.

Whatever. You said the number of crashes was itself evidence: now you admit it isn't. Or evidence in the other direction. Now you have to try to explain away why there are way more crises under regulation even though regulation reduces crises. Whatever.

I said the number of crashes in Britain remaining roughly equal despite the introduction of regulations was evidence that regulations have no effect.
The number of crashes in the US increasing does not change this. In fact, it supports that assertion, as now we have both an instance of financial stability and financial instability, both under the effect of increased regulation. Evidently the amount of regulation has no correlation to either financial stability or financial instability.

We are excluding a lot of nuance, mind.

[Cymrea]

Then don't make claims you can't back.

But it's something he feels to be right. Isn't that enough? Facts and evidence can lie, but that feeling in your gut won't.

Feels before reals, yo.

Judiciary Committee just approved Sessions 11-9, breaking along party lines, he moves on to a full confirmation hearing in the Senate.

I really hope your happy America, you've just elected a Russian puppet as president.

The nation's mood is probably, as an aggregate of the moods of everyone, neutral on the matter.
I am personally displeased. I doubt Trump is, deliberately at least, an agent of the Russians.

Yup. The fucking hypocrite Hatch changed the rules as he didn't like the democrats using his approach from the past.

He keeps saying pro Russian statements and has shown that he is anti-NATO. 30 years ago, this guy would of been arrested for being a traitor.

70 years ago, you'd be considered a traitor for listening to German and Japanese music.

Um..no? Hatch is on the Finance committee, not the Judiciary Committee.

[Salandriagado]

I feel no need to do so, given that you've provided not even the flimsiest of arguments in favour of your assertions.

Then by General rules, u lose.

Erm, no. You've utterly failed to present any kind of argument at all, and so have "lost" (in as much as the purpose of debate is to "win" (HINT: It isn't)) by default.

[Kravanica]

Who's ready for the nuclear option in the Senate?

[Salandriagado]

I've got them both at 7.

Then you can't count.

The list gives 7 happening in Britain in the 200 years between 1700 and 1900, and 9+4 happening in the US in the 37 years between 1980 and 2017 (9 with flag, plus 4 described as "global" without flags).

So according to this evidence, which you are so clownishly lazy you clearly didn't even bother to read, the regulatory state has increased the rate of stock market crashes more than ten times!

Notice how the latter were all incredibly minor compared to the utter and completely disastrous crashes of the former era, like the South Sea Bubble, precisely due to the existence of regulations preventing the bullshit that so exacerbated those crashes (like the South Sea Company giving people loans with which to buy its stock, for example).

^^^

How can I possibly cite that? Do you think there is some "Choose Your Own Adventure" book for the universe that tells what would happen in counterfactual histories?

You provide arguments: specific methods by which the change would have had the effect that you claim. Notice how I did exactly that higher up this post.

[Cymrea]

Hatch served as either the chairman or ranking minority member of the Senate Judiciary Committee from 1993 to 2005.

(come onnn termlimits) Yes but he's circumventing the committee rules for Trumps appointments in the Finance committee, but not for sessions.

Unless I'm misunderstanding the point.

Huh, this is off of you to post out of the CDT from my experience, at least here in General.

I'm reading about it. It seems he also has the support of at least one Democrat, so it's pretty much over for the Democrats on their battle against Sessions.
