“people familiar with the matter” said that there were “people familiar with the matter” who were convinced that “people familiar with the matter” were certain there were “people familiar with the matter.”

Soured? Probably snubbed by people on the other side, and can’t handle it. Sold his soul to the devil instead.

The Journal, citing “people familiar with the matter” reported that Mr. Thiel “has soured” on the president’s prospects in recent weeks because of the state of the economy and expected double-digit unemployment in November.

Is this piece of fake news from Fake news AP through the Washington Times?
Double digital unemployment in November?
On what planet is that?
We just had 4.8 million new jobs in June with unemployment already down 2.2% to 11.1%.
Even by July, unemployment will be down to under 10%. By October we will be looking at unemployment under 5%.
The entire article is pure fake news.

“people familiar with the matter.” = We made it all up from loincloth to attack and undermine President Trump.

Why is that still expected at this point? The economy is bouncing back at a very decent pace - we could be below 10% next month if the trend continues.

These Silicon Valley folks seem to be isolated in a ideological bubble. Many have taken their place through a technological route that has not been influenced by the principals of Capitalism. Without such background, they are vulnerable to Social Justice, which is a blueprint for Marxism. Social Justice is leading such sheep to slaughter.

I hate it when I make a major grammatical mistake. Correction: These Silicon Valley folks seem to be isolated in an ideological bubble.

At least I had an excuse for repeating something that bears repeating.

Was it made up from the nether region of a used loincloth?

Or did spell check get you when you meant to say "whole cloth"?

He sat out the race last time.

I just don’t trust these “come to Jesus” conversions of people like Thiel, Tucker Carlson, et al. They have always smacked me as opportunistic. Menopausal Ann the same way. Trump was good for her selling books for a while, but once he built 700 miles of wall, not so good for her.

Thiel risked a lot by supporting Trump openly in 2016.... literally every venture he gets involved with or funds, immediately has articles written about the venture attaching his name to Trump. He may choose to not openly donate, but given the way the super pac laws are written... you can easily donate to a charity anonymously who then sends a contribution to a superpac.
