Thank goodness you posted!   The market always rallies after you post one of your patented "Dow crashes because of Trump/R policy/etc." posts.

I was getting tired of the sluggish market too, and was hoping you'd work your magic!!  grin

Fanaticism Not Seen Since WW2

Hardly.  It is tragic, but the poor North Korean soldiers walk the walk and are willing to die for their leader.   I doubt many Trump fan-boys are willing to die for Trump, if push comes to shove.  Richard?

Maybe we'll get real lucky, and Musk etc. will increase government efficiency and limit government waste.  I doubt it, but I am happy to see them try.   

Regarding Rod's original poll, I'm with Brian.   Bannon is trying to scratch and claw his way back to relevance.

Of course once again Democrats in Charge Wreaks Havoc, with Karen Bass and Gavin Newsome in power. Totally Incompetent morons, but then that's what you get with Liberal Democrats

Sometimes I wonder where you come up with your wild claims.  Is it just that you type whatever falls out of your head?  The above is a good example.  How did Trump's election "cost the Hollywood elites."   Last I checked, they are still rich and famous.  Their luxurious lives and careers are going to roll on unimpeded by Trump.  They might even bank more over the next four years when the Trump tax cuts are extended.

Oddly, you think I am giving MAGA America and the Jan 6 rioters a pass.  I am not.  I am insulting them, and Richard in particular.  I am saying the MAGA hard-cores talk the talk, but they do not walk the walk.  I could say the same about the "Trump is the end of Democracy" crowd on your side of the aisle.  All talk, no real conviction, no action.

Obviously you're only a legend in your own mind.

Are you really this dumb??  It surely appears so!  LOL
You are admitting Trump's election did not cost the Hollywood elites?

I'm just catching up with some of these threads.  Seriously Richard, why would you lie about such a trivial thing?  You obviously put "the TORMENTOR" in your profile.  It is still there.
