@robertdunlap947 I think anyone would make that deal. Many have little faith the opportunity for that deal will ever present itself.
How many miracle must occur for that too happen? How did you form the bellef their would be 100 years of peace?
@MustangMan_TX Is the a an thing? I had a friend who had his dog responded perfectly to the dead dog command, just like that.
He would say hey Rover, would you rather be Bill Clinton‘s dog or a dead dog?
It was so funny that dog had to do it hundreds of thousands of times
It is stunning to me people will listen to this conman.
He misunderstands selling. He knows fraud. His methods for really selling this pen would be to ask what does the pen of your dreams do and look like.
Then he would simply promise his piece of shit pen could deliver.
Jordan Belfort, former American stockbroker, on why asking the right questions closes more deals than the perfect pitch:
Most salespeople lose the deal before they even make the pitch, and they don't even realise it.
Belfort explains that the famous "sell me this pen" exercise is a test designed to reveal whether a salesperson truly understands what selling is.
"If you ask someone who's not a professional salesman, who doesn't have the right instincts, they will start actually trying to sell you a pen. This pen is great. This pen writes upside down. It's the best value for its money. This pen will last forever. Buy this pen."
That approach, he says, is the wrong one entirely.
"The only rational thing you could do when someone says, 'Sell me this pen,' is to start asking them questions."
Instead of pitching, a skilled salesperson shifts into discovery mode:
How long have you been in the market for a pen? What type of pens have you used in the past? Is it for business or personal use? When you buy a pen, how much do you typically spend?
The questions serve as the foundation of the entire sale.
@wolfofwallst distills his philosophy down to a single principle:
"The key to selling is to find out — step one — what are your client's needs, values, what pain are they looking to fill? And you look to fill that need at the most basic level."
The best pitch isn't the one with the most compelling features. It's the one built entirely around what the buyer already told you they need.
@PeakThinkers_ He keeps saying questions. I suspect he didn't have enough training in the 18 years plus 4 at uni to understand what makes a question a question.
@allenanalysis A split second google search proves this false. Shame on Cornyn for not knowing as much. Same for Durbin for lying and Shane on you for spreading misinformation
Watching Tucker Carlson interview Mike Huckabee was like witnessing the world’s longest Snickers commercial, but instead of turning back into a person, the diva just started practicing law without a license.
Tucker spent two hours badgering Huckabee like a prosecutor who forgot to bring evidence to the trial. He was trying so hard to 'trap' a guy who was basically just sitting there politely blinking at him. It wasn’t a debate; it was a slow-motion career suicide filmed in a VIP airport lounge.
At one point, I genuinely expected Tucker to scream 'YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!' while Huckabee offered him a Werther’s Original. Someone get this man a peanut-packed nougat bar before he accidentally indicts himself for crimes against broadcasting. #TuckerHuckabee #CareerSuicide"

@GadSaad It is the principle of the compelling emotional outcome, professor. The one thing we care so much about we out walk across broken glass in our bare feet to get it.
For the woke left, AI reigns supreme. Climate was fine until it got in the way.
@adamkjohnston Guessing he didn't want you to have to invest 12 hours to judge it.
You should thank him.
That is also the history they taught in school in the 70s, and the story you will learn if you visit the capitol.
But hey, you have saved 11:57 hours use it wisely.
@Milajoy It isn't fugazi {sp?} that they agree with this, they are merely noticing that we all agree.
Then doing what all dogs have always done, run to the front of the line and pretending to lead.
Almost everything government touches ends up slower, costlier, and lower-quality than the private alternatives. The Fed’s money printer is just the ultimate subsidy for bureaucratic bloat. If we ran schools, DMVs, or infrastructure like Amazon runs logistics, we wouldn’t need to debase the currency to paper over the incompetence. Name one core function (one) that government demonstrably does better than markets could.
@BretWeinstein I didn't vote for him either, but had I, I would not have been disappointed in the least. He only has 2 modes. Unpredictable and The Weave. I vote for the gay guy that promised to balance the budget and actually put America First.
@rocknrollofall she had some magic for sure, but this song isn't one of theme. Permanently stuffed up nose from all the coke, sounds like someone with a cold trying to channel Cyndi Lauper.
Fear and anxiety are echoes of thought—phantoms born from stories about a future that hasn’t happened or a past that no longer exists. They feed on imagination, not on reality.
When the mind stops racing forward or digging backward, the noise quiets. What remains is this breath, this heartbeat, this living stillness—simple, undeniable presence.
Look closely: in this exact moment, nothing is wrong. Only thought insists otherwise.
When attention rests here, the mirage of fear dissolves into the clarity it was hiding. What’s left isn’t bravery, but freedom—the natural peace that never left, only got buried beneath the thinking.
