"I’m gonna be doing selfies, whatever it takes," Buffett said, before introducing Hillary Clinton at a rally in Omaha, Nebraska

Buffett pledged to "take at least 10 people to the polls who otherwise would have had difficulty getting there" on November 8, challenging his congressional district to "give America a civics lesson."

Buffett is an athiest. His goal is to destroy American traditions and values. He is willing to accept a socialist govt, even if it means those who come after him never have the opportunities he had.

If anyone has had his success subsidized by the US Gov’t, its Buffett (Elon Musk notwithstanding).

Buffett is breathing free air even though his company, Moody’s, spent its time selling favorable ratings on dogsh!t MBS and their underlying mortgages.

What happened in 2008 is simple - AIG underwrote all that garbage on Buffett’s say so. Everything had AAA ratings on it, allowing pensions, churches, and retirement funds to buy MBSs.

How NOBODY is coming out and hammering this a$$hole for essentially PILOTING the 2008 meltdown is absolutely incredible to me.

This is FACT - Had Moody’s, Fitch and S&P done their jobs, 2008 would not have happened. Period.

All Moody’s had to do is simply refuse to rate the security - they didn’t even have to issue Bs or Cs on anything.

NOTHING complex happened in 2008. It was simple. The rating agencies FAILED, and they colluded with the big banks to perpetrate fraud.

He should fry. Buffett should be unmasked immediately.

Had Trump said, “In 2007 you owned 20 percent of Moody’s, which is the same as saying you controlled Moody’s. You knew they were selling ratings to banks, and you didn’t do anything about it. After $800 Billion in bailing out your crime and having it swept under the rug, you’ve got the guts to come out and lecture other people on what success in business is all about? You should retire quietly and right your memoires, or confession, or whatever you want to write to explain it to your grandkids,” that would have changed the narrative and put the blame for it where it belonged.

I say we get thousands of Republicans posing as RATS to take him up on his offer.

Make this POS spend as much money as we can.
