more Dr. Norman Roberts is a very successful investor who almost exclusively invests in preferred fixed-income equities. On March 2, 2016, Dr. Roberts wrote his first article as a Seeking Alpha contributor He soon became popular, although a mildly controversial contributor, rapidly building a large base of followers, soon becoming the #1 contributor listed in Seeking Alpha's Dividend Strategy category. Consequently, based on his expertise and experience as a cumulative preferred dividend investor and the many articles he had written on the subject, Dr. Roberts published
The Art & Science of Preferred Dividend Investing. However, as a result of writing several articles during the 2016 presidential campaign, warning against the dangers of a Trump presidency, and resultant controversy the articles and follow-up comments engendered, the author was forced to quit the platform. Soured by the experience, Dr. Roberts gave up writing until he was recently bitten by the bug again, this time returning as a TalkMarkets contributor. He remains no fan of President Trump and his administration.

My Taste Of The Black Experience
Danny, even though I'd thought I had been so long ago and for a very long time railed against police brutality, especially directed at blacks, I failed to realize the actual depth and destructiveness of the systematic racism that runs so deeply throughout our country. I actually thought there was hope when Obama was elected president. It was dashed when Trump took office. Frankly, this sickness sickens me.

My pleasure, Sue.
My Taste Of The Black Experience
My thoughts exactly, Duanne. All my life I've been fortunate to be an entitled white man without even realizing it. Although I have always been aware of the systemic racism perpetrated against blacks, I never thought of myself as being entitled in that way. This past year has woken me to that fact. I guess I never felt entitled because I grew up poor and in the lower-class sections of Brooklyn, NY. Bed-Sty then Crown Heights. It's hard to feel entitled when you are cold in the winter and sweltering in the summer in your own home.
Defeating Trumpism
Jason, it would be wonderful if making ACB a SCOTUS Justice, was the worst thing this tame Republican-dominated GOP senators allowed to happen. They completely ignored the mountain of evidence gathered against Trump during his impeachment trial. Had they done their job, far fewer Americans would be dead today as a result of Trump's mismanagement of covid-19. Now when people and businesses are suffering as a result of the virus, McConnell, the grim reaper, is allowing the CARES act passed by the lower house in May to languish and die. As a result, how many businesses will be permanently closed, and Americans will be forced out of their homes and become homeless?
Why are they going along with Trump's insane insistence of not accepting the results of the election he clearly lost? Why are they allowing him to delay the transition of power, which will further harm our country?
Defeating Trumpism
Trump has a habit of making charges without evidence. In fact, beyond his word, for what that is worth, there is virtually zero evidence of voter fraud. However, there was ample evidence of voter suppression practiced by the GOP. For example, Greg Abbot who only allowed 1 dropbox for Harris County in TX, an area that covers over 2,000 square miles of territory and a large voter population. If you paid any attention at all, Tex, you'd be well aware of all the instances of transparent voter suppression the GOP practiced during this, and other past, elections, which has been documented. It would be nice if Republicans accept the outcome of this election without accusing the winner of fraud. Frankly, I surprised at how close this contest was considering how badly and incompetently Trump handles covid-19 and how many American lives were lost as a result. If you cannot admit at least that then there is little hope for us.

Adam, I'm more afraid of the damage he will do from the sidelines, especially considering the # of loyal followers he has. He must be exposed as the malignant narcissist that he evidently is. How many more American lives are we willing to put at risk?
Defeating Trumpism
Yes, Angry, it's the primary reason I wrote this article. He must be publically exposed as was OJ. The man is a fool and a life-long criminal who will be destroyed during a trial or a # of trials that highlight all his misdeeds and uncover all his vile secrets. We must demand that he be treated no better nor worse than the common criminal he has been for much of his adult life. Short of a publicly televised trial Trump will be free to continue to do tremendous damage to America.
Defeating Trumpism
Tex, Pennsylvania gave Biden 273 electoral college votes, which put him over the top. Any normal president would have conceded by now, but not Trump. Even many of his GOP backers and former enablers were chilled by his continued and baseless rants about voter fraud. Stick a fork in him, he's done. Courts and wishful thinking won't alter the will of the electorate. We still live in a democracy, which I feared for under another 4-years of Trump.
