They are now going up to 8 years. People who go more than 4 are simply really bad with money.
I'm guessing people that take 7-8 year loans out on a car aren't getting the best rates.

Something I just realized yesterday hearing Melania talk about her children's plan. I don't think I've ever heard her speak before. Or it's been so long and although I know she is foreign, the accent still caught me off guard.
I did. I was paying 1.9%. My money was making 6-7%. So why not use the loan to my advantage? Don't read too much into the length of these loans. Someone with bad credit is not getting loans for a $50-$60K truck / suv.
Haven’t read it, but just put cnn on. A half million dollars from a soviet oligarch? I’m sure it’s all perfectly legal.
putin is great. It would be great if we got along, believe me. - Orange c*********
So many stupid people commenting on the Iran deal. "Buh, buh, buh, they can get a nuclear weapon in 2025." Ok, well, now they can get one TOMORROW! f***ing idiots. There's nothing to take it's place. The agreement made it possible to negotiate lengthening the deal, coming up with a better one, etc., now, it's all gone. Why would they come back to the table now? They won't. I can't believe this a****** is in office.
On the Avenatti bombshell, there's a couple of interesting points. First, Novartis and AT&T have both confirmed payments to Cohen, with Novartis' being structured in a particularly suspicious manner - as if they were concerned that $100,000 would trigger some sort of flag either internally or with regulatory agencies, so making it 99,980 would somehow skirt that. Both companies obviously had interest in access to Trump - Novartis' CEO dined with Trump not long after the final payment, whilst AT&T has a merger they want approved and net neutrality they wanted axed. Drain the swamp indeed!
The thing that gets my spider senses going, though, is the money funneled from the company that's affiliated with the Russian oligarch. I get the sense that the reporting on this is probably going to be correct that it's a big deal, but not for the reasons they'll think. Let's remember the Cohen investigation got referred to SDNY rather than remaining inside the Special Prosecutor's purview, which would be pretty shocking if there was a link here between Russia and Cohen. But let's also remember that Cohen's been tied in with Russia all his life, and he's pretty much a petty gangster wannabe who's probably money laundering. The Russia link is probably personal. And of course, this might be something useful to get him to flip, especially since he hasn't actually been indicted yet - or at least, one hasn't been unveiled yet.
But I think the real worry for Trump et al is precisely that this was referred to SDNY as not being part of the SC's mandate. If they're investigating Russia's meddling, and they have payments funneled through a company affiliated with the Russian oligarch that's now sanctioned, and those happened this soon after the election, they must be extremely tight about what they consider to be election related. And if they're that tight and they're keeping the Manafort case, my wild speculation is they have another sealed indictment that is going to make everything else look like jaywalking.

Ironically, it's only because Iran has been cooperating and sounds like it's going to try to continue to do so that we may be safe. If Iran and the other signatories keep the agreement in place and keep dealing with Iran, we're either going to have to slap sanctions on Germany, the EU, the UK, etc. or just look the other way. That could be interesting.
It is downright scary. I don't see how anyone can support this. I really fear the warhawks are feeding him BS intel to get him to go to war. Between Israel and the warhawks here we'll soon be in a war that makes Iraq look small.
The EU will be taking the lead leaving us looking like a******s. My guess, since we don't to business with Iran directly, they won't impose any sanctions on anybody because they're gonna impose sanctions on Germany, he UK, no, unless he's even more stupid than we believe. It's going to end up being just backing out of the deal because a black man made it.
I think another reason they are keeping any charges at a state level is because a presidential pardon would not apply. It gives them something to hold over Cohen. Donny boy can't get him out of it.
Apparently, a senior official at Novartis says that they were contacted BY COHEN after the election and pitched "access" to Trump and the administration.

Oh, Lordy, I hope there are tapes.

A presidential pardon does not apply to state charges. That is why they are going after Manifort at the state level also.
It's starting to make sense why Trump was ranting about attorney–client privilege. There's a chance Mueller may have evidence showing Trump was aware of this. I really hope Mueller digs into their supposedly other shell companies further.
This is really bothersome for a few reasons. It confirms that negative news is considered fake news to Trump. It also is further evidence of him strong arming the media. Support me or face exile.
Even more bothersome to me, where are those piece of s*** Libertarians? We had to listen to these idiots ramble on about how the constitution was being trampled on. Where are they now? A quote from Bloomberg fits well here, "A president preventing a free and independent press from covering the workings of our republic would be an unconscionable assault on the First Amendment." Libertarians always have been and always will be fakes.

In one of the interviews with Avenatti he mentioned that Cohen likes to record conversations. Don't know how true that is but if it is oh boy.
