You’re right, Bing. Such supple, seductive sophistry that leaves you wondering when the BOHICA moment is coming. Once Sheila gets finished sodomizing us, I wonder whether she’ll offer us a cigarette?

No one asked her how they calculate the amount of each account which is insured. This woman would be a whiz at income tax returns.

I’d be more likely to believe that each millionaire+ in this country will pony up $500K to atone for years of profit-taking with tax breaks….for the love of their country,capitalism and the current administration.

Clap if you believe…!

I have to agree with Bob Shelby on that. Since hearing about the banks yesterday, I keep thinking about the great depression.

Those that have houses should probably get out the shovels and empty mayo jars. Except those that own houses that are built so close to each other, they might want to pick a different spot than their yard like the rest of us that rent.

The naive side of me would like to believe that my small credit union that I have used for years is safe.

Lies are not lies if you believe them, later they become untruths and sometimes they are called misspoken words.

And of course, “The check is in the mail.”

Anyone who is paying attention should have the willies. We are cruising into unknown waters, and I see storm clouds getting much darker. I hope the lifeboats are well provisioned.

Imagine being the next president, and inheriting this situation. What a nightmare.

I think I’ve seen this movie before … but it was called “Continental Illinois” and was in black-and-white way back in 1984 and starred John Lytel …

Could you pass the popcorn?

If Morty worked for a bank, I imagine he’d save the CEO the trouble of shoving him out the window…

I’m with you, it’s up there with CEO’s publicly blaming all their problems on a grand conspiracy by the shorts.
