  2. The con artist decides to short some stocks. He says scary things. Markets drop. He makes a killing. The con artist decides to buy some stocks. He says wonderful things. Markets rise. He makes a killing. This is all a giant con, hurting millions, but not him. Never him. Out of all of the politicians America has ever given presidential power to, he's special.

  3. this is what we're up against. not just romanians, moldovans, europeans, or westerners. the whole world. it is an old political #conArtist game turbocharged by #socialMedia and #plutocracy. and the cost is human lives and degraded economies and degraded societies. for the political and financial aggrandization of #rightWing and #fascism elements playing their old tired but dependable con game. people like #putin and various right wing scumbags in #europe benefit. we all suffer

    But he also states that the USA is not at war with Iran.

    Unfortunately we can expect more jaw-dropping acts and statements from the White House this year.

    We can only hope that:

    1) There will still be accessible elections this year.

    2) All Trump's actions will ensure that Americans will take the effort to actually vote.

    'A democracy, if you can keep it.'

  5. Gov Gavin #Newsom nails it.

    This is exactly what I think when it comes to what #DictatorDon, #JV & #LittleMarco think.

    Not just #hypocrites, but how does one go from calling T**** "America's Hitler" and a #ConArtist to being his most loyal generals? They stand for nothing in the name of power.

  6. The best part of Catch Me If You Can is that the movie is Frank Abegnale, Jr's biggest con.

    Based on his book, which has long been proven to be wildly exaggerated, at best, Spielberg's film has made a petty man seem wonderfully brilliant.

  7. I have taken a few online music/artist development-type of courses, and if the teacher has a list of recommended books that includes anything by Tony Robbin’s, I immediately lose respect for them.

  8. A quotation from John Adams

    Knaves and Hipocrates see through the Whole sistem at once. I will take the People their own way says one of these, I will serve them without Pay, I will give them money, I will make them beleive that I am perfectly disinterested untill I gain their Confidence and exite their enthusiasm. then I will Carry that Confidence and Enthusiasm to markett and will sell it for more than all I give them, and all their Pay would have amounted to — si populus vult decipi decipiatur [if the people want to be deceived, they will be deceived].

    John Adams (1735-1826) American lawyer, Founding Father, statesman, US President (1797-1801)
    Letter (1785-09-10) to John Jebb

  9. If you write #poetry in a #ConLang, are you a #ConArtist? 🤔

    (This post could have been a raptor meme.)

  10. George Parker spent 30 years "selling" NYC landmarks including Brooklyn Bridge (twice weekly!), Madison Square Garden, and Grant's Tomb to unsuspecting tourists and immigrants. Meanwhile, Victor Lustig sold the Eiffel Tower twice by posing as a French government official, collecting $100,000 bribes each time.

  11. From an article I read today:

    "... but absolution is the realm of priests and other con artists."
