    Check this. The fed is almost in the realm of negative interest rates. The deficit is exploding. This is NOT the indication of a healthy economy. This bubble will burst people's 401k's will be decimated. Will you blame trump then? I doubt it.

    Not me...talk to the President. You don't find it odd that the President didn't bring up the hold when he talked with Zelenskiy? And, the National Security Council staff had prepared talking points regarding his concern about Ukrainian corruption, which he tossed to substitute requests for Crowdstrike and Biden investigations.

    I said I'm all for witnesses. Even with them, the President will be acquitted.

    Hunter and Joe Biden. But, I agree with you. First, there must be a "probable cause."

    My 401 is doing awesome, thank you very much. The fist sign of disruption, I will move my investments. Paddle out in calm water, ride the wave in. Rinse and repeat. I am 49 years old, my personal income and growth of my investments has never been higher. Will it end? absolutely, that is what strategic investing is all about. Bottom line is trumps economy trumps all economies in the history of this country. If you aren’t getting rich today, Bernie Sanders isn’t going to help you.

    Fine. Let the chips fall where they may. If a significant majority of the electorate comes away from the impeachment and trial proceedings with the feeling that it wasn't fair and the Republicans rushed through a vote on political grounds, there will be massive GOP losses in November - IMO. Who would they rather have in the WH? Pence or Bernie? Who would they rather have as Senate majority leader? Schumer or McConnell? And, the House? Two more years of Pelosi or McCarthy?

    First you state that Trump said there was QPQ while speaking from the WH lawn.

    And I asked for the source and you gave me an article which refers to an interview on "Fox and Friends", not the WH lawn.

    Nowhere in the article does Trump admit to a QPQ.

    demonstrably correct. @FreshAir has posted the video multiple times.

    not relevant.

    this shows you didn't read it.

    And OMB noted it in their budget submission footnotes and the money was.released before the end of the fiscal year. It's a minor administrative disagreement OMB says it followed the law.

    "Pfiffner, the George Mason University professor, told us that while there "seems to have been a post hoc rationalization for delaying the Ukraine funds," it would be up to a court to decide whether the near-expiration of that $35 million would constitute a violation. The hold was lifted on Sept. 11, with some time left in the year to distribute the frozen funds.

    "It might be argued that the law would not actually be broken until Oct. 1, the beginning of the (2020) fiscal year," he said. "But the DOD and OMB career people know what time is necessary to actually transfer the funds, and had legitimate concerns about violating the law.""

    It's a moot point now.

    The date is irrelevant. The law states that the notice to Congress must be given BEFORE the aid is withheld.

    The date is entirely relevant and a minor administrative disagreement. The money was released before the time frame.............moot point.

    I'll wait.

    It clearly shows him doing just that. To claim it doesn’t only shows you didn’t read the article or watch the video.

    I assume you're betting the house by shorting the market?
