DOW up 800

That was 10 days ago, in the morning. The Dow ended up 500+ for the day, putting it 1100+ in 3 days, from the June low of 25,128. We finished today at ~25,015, 20 points ahead of a month ago.

Still, we are 6,400ish ahead of the low in March.

Mind you, the Dow is still detached from reality, like Bambi, Kid, and Trump.

Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville says he believes it's more likely that Trump decides to drop out of the 2020 race than Trump wins re-election.

Don't forget Bo predicted circa mid-April that Trump might drop out.
Up to a 50% chance.

But, Brzezinski added, Trump does not like to lose. Scarborough concurred, and suggested that Trump could follow the example of Lyndon Johnson in 1968 and withdraw from the race.

I could imagine he is hoping to get sick so he has an excuse. It's not that he is quitting, but that for the good of the country, somebody healthy should run.

Or as an excuse for why he loses when he loses.

Maybe he will develop bonespurs.

There what goes?

The Republican Party...Saviour of Black Ametica.

You need to remember (or maybe you didn't know) that the Democratic ad the Republican parties underwent a huge change in the 1960s.  The voters who made up the Democratic party prior to the Civil Rights act being passed in 1964 included a majority of southern whites.  As I posted a few days ago in this forum, for nearly 100 years after the civil war African-Americans used to support the Republican party and Southern Whites used to vote Democratic.  After passage of the civil rights act those votings blocs shifted.

You shouldn't mistake the Republican abolitionist party of the civil war era with today's republican party.  The two parties basically swapped uniforms.  Today's Democrats can trace their party lineage to the Pre-Civil Rights act Republican party.  I'm assuming you did not know this.

While what you say is true about the Southern Dems and African-American support for the Repubs, the shift started with FDR, as African Americans started voting heavily Dem in presidential elections generally delivering about 70% for Dems from 1932-until current day (now closer to 90%).

LBJ's work on the Civil rights Act of '64 and '68 and Nixon's adoption of the Southern Strategy basically sealed the deal.

Federal Judge to Cuomo and deBlasio.
Go Pleasure Yourselves!

This decision is an important step toward inhibiting the suddenly emerging trend of exercising absolute monarchy on [the] pretext of public health. What this kind of regime really meant in practice is freedom for me, but not for thee.”

Hip, Hip, Hooray!

I could never figure out Carville and Mary Matalin. Either the sex was astounding, or they were astounding at compartmentalizing, or it was a great act.

She would have made me nuts.

You assume correctly.

Did Johnson have an unwavering belief in anything at all?

Comparing him to Trump in this sense is comical.

You're thinking of the founder/owner of Carvel Ice Cream. Fudgie the Whale appreciates your deep sympathy.

[Hairy Lime]

A 2nd might be Trump is the cruelest dumbest most indifferent to human life indecent motherfucker ever to be President.

Have you ever done a little research on Andrew Jackson?

I dont think Andrew Jackson was dumb.
