Maybe this is a small point, but Buffet ain't no angel either, not as far as sexual proclivities (not that we know anyways) but, ever have one of those annoying Kirby vacuum cleaner salespersons come knocking at your door? They offer to clean a room or two for free just sit through a 20 minute "demonstration" that turns out to be hours of high pressure sales tactics to buy a ridiculously overpriced vacuum, unless you demand they leave your house, sometimes having to resort to calling 911, or even seeking "assistance" from Mr. Browning, or Smith & Wesson, etc. (that's been known to happen) Typically the prospect would balk at the price so they offer financing that anyone is qualified for (a HUGE red flag right there) hoping that you don't read the terms of such a loan, they would embarrass a loan shark. The last one that tried to push one of these on us told us that Kirby is a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathtaway, these scam artists actually use that as a selling point. So, this is Buffet's baby, surely he's aware of all the BBB complaints against his distributors. And this guy has a much greater net worth and is supposedly infinitely smarter than Trump, business-wise, yet under his watch one of his own subsidiaries utilizes such an outdated, sleazy business model.

Buffett’s a domestic economic terrorist who needs to be droned big-time.

Those Kirby people better never come to my house again.

I went through the full demo BEFORE they even considered cleaning my carpet. When I said I wasn’t interested in buying one, they called their “manager” that was with them to come in and do the hard sell. He said they could get it done at $50/month. I told them I could not afford that. He looked at my house, which was a new home at the time, and said that I could surely afford it. I guess they think that just because I was in a new house, I had money out the wazoo.

I asked him if he was calling me a liar and told him to get out and keep his carpet cleaning. They wasted about 2 hours of my day when the wife was working and I had 3 young kids at home with me. I was so mad that I warned all the other neighbors about them. Nasty, nasty people.

Buffet has donated some one billion dollars to abortion providers.
Buffet’s camel won’t be able to kneel low enough to get through the city gates (i.e., eye of the needle).

“Trump has refused to release his tax returns, citing ongoing audits by the IRS.”

Were Trump a Democrat, this would say, “Trump has declined to release his tax returns, citing ongoing audits by the IRS.”
