Thread for obviously newsworthy stuff

[ZEE]

Welp... there I go scaring everybody again. I really need to work on that.

[ZEE]

Guess they should have been nicer to me when I was young.

Now it is MY turn wise ass...

[ZEE]

My Master Beelzebub is so nice and gentle with me! He makes sure I am happy, and comfy, and safe always.

The rest of you...? NOT SO MUCH.

Tsunamis, Stock Market Crashes, Government Shutdowns... What a great Master! I am so lucky!

[ZEE]

Everything is going perfectly.

Did the stock markets finally realize Donald Trump is president?

[Proteus_MST]

Albert Speer?

Good idea ... he may also be able to design the new world capital Trumpiana

[Dauphin]

I was expecting Speer to get the job.

It is unbelievable that Trump ever was at the helm of large companies.
(I believe everyone with some experience in leading companies may discover that it is very useful if replacements for positions have the former person at this position help them for some weeks getting acquainted to the job (instead of having to learn the ropes without any help))

(wehile Trump may argue that Shanahan was the deputy defense secretary, according to CNN, he has no military experience (he is an engineer, no soldier) and was almost exclusively involved in budgeting, internal revisioning and Trumps space foirce ... but not in the decision making that is usual the job of defense secretaries)

I would never ever ever ever want to work for Trump

Multiple sources none of the main ones are right wing. Hell, I even still hold the same position Obama had that criminal illegals should be deported but those who do not commit additional illegal acts beyond their immigration status should be left alone. Yet the Dems in my state passed their sanctuary state law designed specifically to protect the criminal illegals from deportation so the felons get released back into our neighborhoods. Tell me that isn't bull ****.

Also we recently had an election here in California, like in the rest of the country, and let me tell you local dems had a bunch of bill **** to spew about white devils, how whites are evil, and whites should have laws disadvantaging them on employment, among other stuff. Yes, their racial hatred is hard to miss but they seem to think that is the only way to gun up nonwhite votes.

That makes even left leaning whites wonder why I am voting for people who quite obviously hate me because of my race. Why can't dems just stick to the middle and not actively work to alienate the majority ethnic group?

But if the caravan are all stupid and criminals, wouldn't they be natural Trump supporters? Every survey shows the more drooling moronic you are, the bigger you love Trump. Or if his rally are an indication.. 500 Trump supporters = 4 great grandparents. True, most caravan members don't seem to be 'Trump stupid' yet, but with folks like you and Ben and Kid to guide them, they could be!

Where have you been getting your news?

Aside from the cost of the wall (including effectiveness, feasibility, etc), why are people against it? Does it screw the environment or have social impacts? I don’t understand why people are so exercised over it. If it is just cost, take it out the military budget. It’s big enough.

The wall itself, at least if someone thinks it is a complete walk for all 1800 miles, should be a nonstarter though a physical barrier will be needed with in, say 100 miles of a major city, but the rest should be done view an electronic fence.

Now, that is the reasonable position yet Dems are taking the no wall, no electronic fence, and no enforcement at all position. This because they want more illegals and anchor babies to vote for them, however, this is also why the Dems lose to half it's like Trump. If people could only count t on them to act sanely then they'd win in landslides but, unfortunately, Dems are their own worst enemies and always have been.

It is like when they start screaming their hatred for white people then cry come election day because none of the white people voted for them. It is pure idiocy.

[Dinner]

nope. It's real.

Maybe. Then again... I imagine that is exactly what a parade account would write.

My bet is the DJIA drops by 1k tomorrow. It's a short day, however, so that may allay some of the incipient panic I'm beginning to see in the markets.
