    Ok one of the things about Trump’s time in office has been the rise in the stock-market it’s even been pounced upon by Trump and his supporters as something to praise Trump for.

    But is this market rise seems to be based on hope, the hope that Trump and the Republicans can bring in the tax cuts that would vastly increase the profits of the corporations been traded.

    In other words it’s a speculative bubble.

    Now I’m not so sure Trumps Cut Cut Cut bill this is going to happen, several Republicans seem not to like it and if the market loses the hope then the bubble will burst.

    [edit] What is needed is real investment rather than speculative ‘bets’ I mean we need real infrastructure spending (opposed to ineffectual tax breaks) that both the left and right want to happen.

    It could be used to drive growth a lot more effectively than just giving already wealthy individuals and entities more money.

    Donna Brazil thinks the Russians may have been involved or it was a hate crime.

    Trump's pick for the White House’s Council on Environmental Quality is Kathleen Hartnett White, another science denier.

    Dude, your party is filled to the brim with corruption, and you’re still unwilling to take the trash out. Even if it means thwarting your chances of winning new seats for the democrats in the 2018 election.

    You can blame Russia all you want. But it wasn’t Russia who rigged the election against Sanders, and other terrible things.

    The democrats have less than 3 years to clean up their image. And they shouldn’t rely exclusively on Trump to fuck things up.

    All political parties have elements of corruption.

    I didn't blame Russia for the death of Seth Rich, Donna Brazil made that statement, not me.

    If that isn't free speech I don't know what is.

    Guess I need to hop in the car and drive 9 hours and 50 minutes to D.C. - and raise both fingers! I need a job, sounds like I'd get far better chances there than here at home for sure!

    What's next:

    Firing the press pool photographer in the motorcade who took the photo for being disrespectful of Trump.

    Trump declaring it to be fake news. It was really her index finger praising Trump as number one.

    Trump incessantly denying claims that his hand and middle finger are smaller than hers,

    Trump banning the use of middle fingers against him as part of an executive order prohibiting kneeling during the national anthem.

    Putting middle-finger people in a national registery so that they can be monitored by the government for potential terrorist activity.

    Unqualified is the qualification for Trump positions. Senate Republicans have rubber stamped everything from Trump,


    Trump judge nominee, 36, who has never tried a case, wins approval of Senate panel
    by David G. Savage

    Trump judge nominee, 36, who has never tried a case, wins approval of Senate panel

    excerpts:

    "Brett J. Talley, President Trump’s nominee to be a federal judge in Alabama, has never tried a case, was unanimously rated “not qualified” by the American Bar Assn.’s judicial rating committee, has practiced law for only three years and, as a blogger last year, displayed a degree of partisanship unusual for a judicial nominee, denouncing “Hillary Rotten Clinton” and pledging support for the National Rifle Assn.

    On Thursday, the Senate Judiciary Committee, on a party-line vote, approved him for a lifetime appointment to the federal bench."

    "When Trump took office in January, there were more than 100 vacant seats on the federal courts, thanks to an unprecedented slowdown engineered by McConnell during the final two years of President Obama’s term."

    Trump didn't like the idea of wind turbines spoiling the view from his golf course in Scotland and has been taking legal action since 2011 in various courts (he battled the Polish construction workers case for 15 years before finally giving in and settling). Using similar bullying tactics, he didn't like the looks of a house, built a wall around it, and billed the owner.


    Trump builds a wall around someone's house and sends him the bill.
    In Scotland, Trump Built a Wall. Then He Sent Residents the Bill.

    In Scotland, Trump Built a Wall. Then He Sent Residents the Bill.

    From the article:

    "BALMEDIE, Scotland — President-elect Donald J. Trump has already built a wall — not on the border with Mexico, but on the border of his exclusive golf course in northeastern Scotland, blocking the sea view of local residents who refused to sell their homes.

    And then he sent them the bill.

    David and Moira Milne had already been threatened with legal action by Mr. Trump’s lawyers, who claimed that a corner of their garage belonged to him, when they came home from work one day to find his staff building a fence around their garden. Two rows of grown trees went up next, blocking the view. Their water and electricity lines were temporarily cut. And then a bill for about $3,500 arrived in the mail, which, Mr. Milne said, went straight into the trash."

    Trump used a similar bullying tactic when he wanted to buy the Mar-a-Lago mansion. He threatened to erect a building to block the ocean view from Mar-a-Lago to discourage people from buying it so he could get it for a lower price, and it worked.

    Concerning the house in Scotland, he actually went ahead and built a wall around the house to obstruct the owners view of the ocean.

    Yess, and well the stock market valuations always has a large speculative component. This bubble features exuberance that regulatory overeach has been leashed.

    and Yes, we need a tax code that does not reward real estate quite so much. Perhaps more reward for actually carrying a payroll instead of carrying a portfolio of properties.

    This is the kind of thing that really gets me

    Since January I have heard many in the peanut gallery bitch about how everyone just needs to shut up and give Trump a chance to do his job - but he has already done plenty as a businessman to prove he is a man severely lacking in moral character and nothing but a con man. I don't need to give him a chance as president because I already know precisely what kind of person he is.

    After all the sex allegations that have surfaced recently, The New Yorker has revisited the allegations against Trump.

    Jessica Leeds was groped in the '80s.
    In 1990 his then wife, Ivana reported a violent rape by him in Trump Tower, and Kristin Anderson's vagina was grabbed.
    Mindy McGillivray was groped in 1992.
    Jill Harth was groped in 1996 and Temple Taggart McDowell was pushed against a wall and kissed.
    Karena Virginia had her breast grabbed at the U.S. Open in 1998
    In 2005 the Access Hollywood tape was recorded in which Trump brags about grabbing women by "their pussys", Natasha Stoynoff was forced against a wall and kissed, Rachel Crooks was forcibly kissed, .
    Summer Zervos reported a prolonged assault in which she was kissed and her breast was grabbed.
    Jennifer Murphy was forcibly kissed at a job interview.
    Cassandra Searles, Samantha Holvey, Carrie Prejean, Tasha Dixon, Bridget Sullivan, Mariah Billado, and Victoria Hughes all reported Trump entering beauty pageant dressing rooms unannounced while they were nude and dressing.
    Twenty four women in all have reported sexual assaults by Trump.

    He told ABC news in 1994 that he tells his friends to be rougher with their wives.
    Trump blames all the accusations on......wait for it.......
    Hillary Clinton.
