Trump leaves office with DOW near 31k

Take a long look at your portfolios, folks

Gold and silver (especially) sure looking good right now.

The nearly 1000000 officially documented as being unemployed think differently about the economy kid.

Maybe because they know the stock market isn't the economy.

Someone should tell kid the stock market is a "leading indicator" of economic health not a lagging one.

Quote from Trump's farewell address, today: "I am especially proud to be the first President in decades who has started no new wars."

And there's more: "Now, as I prepare to hand power over to a new administration at noon on Wednesday, I want you to know that the movement we started is only just beginning."


No war, except for the new civil war which he launched last week and plans to continue. Notice he only "prepares to hand power to a new administration"----not to President-elect Biden.

Fuck off, Trump.

You guys okay with the kind of jackass post that Ham made to Larry or do you think more should be done than deleting it?
Why get involved?
We all have the power to ignore the ignorance of both of them.
If they decide to behave as “ jackasses” it’s another strike against their credibility.
But who are you to decide others can’t respond to their
 “ jackassery”?

Josh isnt telling anyone not to respond

On the contrary - the responses may have been all that is needed.

Josh - its your house - you've already decided to act like Twitter and FaceBook - so follow as you see fit.  I appreciate that the forum is still here, no matter its state.

Josh only tolerates "personal attacks" if those doing so are on his allies list. Otherwise, one is condemned.

And yet, I rightfully observed that Larry's new status and that it may be influencing the choices he was making here in terms of not discussing an issue honestly. Larry hates hearing a POV that doesn't perfectly align with his own, or the bullshit he is trying to sling at any given time.

If you guys can't handle my honest observations, that is a sign of your weakness, not mine.

 

If Larry is so fragile that he actually cares what anyone here says and he takes it to heart, well, then he's far worse off than I can ever make him.

Toughen up. Or you can, as Larry says to someone here almost daily, "fuck off".

At one last, don't you have any decency motherfucker?

my no1 morning radio host just now:
"The many good things he did during his presidency outweighed the silly tweets.
 Unfortunately his legacy will be tarnished by recent events."

What good things?  Nothing good.  Nothing at all. 

Building a wall and banning muslims is not a good thing. 

Undoing Obama-era legislation isn't an accomplishment.  It's literally tearing down someone else's work.

And even there he failed to undo Obama's signature accomplishment or even suggest a replacement for it.

Everything he did you perceive as good was done for the good of himself.

More metaphor-based celebration material,  to add to Oilcan's "Ghost" scene and my Tragedy of Dr Faustus excerpt and Larry's DC flag (though I'm surprised there's a flag honoring direct current)

(about 25 seconds)

17 hours, but who's counting...

Rushed?

I thought they were delaying the Senate hearing.

Will be to Trump's advantage, I think.
