small but significant thing I've noticed on Fox Business on days when market is tanking & Trump is president - they only show the Nasdaq ticker in the corner, not the Dow, to give people the impression the market isn't down as much as it actually is (the Dow is currently down more than 1,100 points)

Draft Day movie where Costner's character trades four 1st round picks to pick first in the draft to get a good-but-problem QB, then schemes a way to bail on the QB, get his picks back, get two 1st rounders plus a game changer special teams player, all for his original pick. Trump is not that.

Imagine the dearth of critical thinking skills it would take to buy into this statement. You'd have to be living entirely within the Fox bubble to not simply fall over laughing.

The majority of Americans oppose this economic nightmare, but House Republicans are using every last bit of their power to prevent Congress from doing anything to stop it. Remember this in November and vote them all out.

On this day in 1984, a bloke in England attempted to blow up his wife with a car bomb, then later slashed himself with a box knife in an attempt to frame his neighbor, whom he had just killed with a shotgun. All in all, a pretty creative way to earn yourself a life sentence.

While I appreciate the cooler heads' take that the markets have weathered downturns numerous times in the past, this is the first time we're seeing a global game of chicken perpetrated by a criminal megalomaniac who can't form a coherent sentence. This time it is different.

Yes. Trump is on record a number of times saying this. The only question is whether or not he's successful.

It's going to be a race to see which kills us first: climate, disease, starvation, or pollution. It almost makes me wish I was religious, so I could believe there is some sort of eternal punishment waiting for this person.

If Trump does invoke the Insurrection Act on or after April 20th, you have my permission to panic.
