    I don't trust the stock market. I'm suspicious of my 401k too. I feel like it's just some rich guy trying to take my money. Kinda like Trump.

    But society says I'm irresponsible as an adult if I don't have one.

    What if 401k turns out to be the name of some faceless cult and we are all just contributing to its coffer. And anytime the balance dips, it's nothing to do with the market but them appropriating the funds for whatever weird **** shadow cults do...something to chew on.

    It's memo day, anything is possible.

    Uh oh ... the Trump Recession and the Burning of the GOP are going to happen at the same time, eh?

    Gowdy strikes a balance: "While this memo raises serious concerns with the FISA process, I have been and remain confident in the overwhelming majority of the men and women serving at the FBI and DOJ."

    Trump doesn't blame any DOJ rank and file.

    Considering alcoholism is such a scourge in Russia that life expectancy for men in some regions there is close to that in Somalia... yeah. Cynical move.

    Which begs the irony that everyone else who aren't Rank and File were appointed by him. So, either he is a horrible employer or everyone is out to get him, EVERYONE!

    Not everyone. Things started in the election cycle under the Obama DOJ. Some folks did carry over, not all due to appointment specifically.

    Wish he would have gotten at least close enough to scare the **** out of Nassar face to face. I don't condone violence against another human except in defense.

    Yea, Nassar...my sis did gymnastics for many years, so it hit home.
    Here you go...he got this close, he got a hold of him very briefly, he scared him:

    How many days till they move Nassar to solitary? He might die in gen pop or limited.

    If Trump is going to take credit for the Dow's rise, then he gets the blame for this fall.
    Can't have it both ways.

    Hold up there a minute.

    Carter Page, who was being investigated since 2013, got FISA warrant extended 3, that's right THREE times. So is he a Russian expert, double-agent, or what? At any rate, it has NOTHING to do with Christopher Steele or Obama. 2013. 2013. That's 2 years before 45 decided to run for POTUS.

    You also got some guy named Michael Flynn who was surveilled since 2006 and was looked at under Obama as a bad actor. Whoever that is ...

    Just saw the Dow Jones industrial average fell 666 points.

    How appropriate.

    I'm pretty sure the stock market is calculated using dark magics anyway.

    Indeed, White House National Security Council senior director for Asian affairs Matthew Pottinger was reported as saying in a recent closed-door meeting with US experts on Korean Peninsula issues that a limited strike on the North “might help in the midterm elections.”

    Okay... I just saw a YouTube ad promoting pipelines and saying how they're good for the country, sponsord by API. Well... I assume something is going on right now that API wants to do this type of promotion, right?



    Meanwhile, Arizona House just expelled Republican Representative Don Shooter after it was reported about his sexual allegations and there's a pattern to them. Also, they took his gun as well. You may remember this guy for doing a mike drop for reasons.
