Democrats tanked the housing market so they could take over the House in 2006. Barney Frank said that President Bush was harming housing by wanting an audit of Fannie and Freddie (circa 2003)

Trumps done a good job of getting out in front of it and making the Federal Reserve the goat/scapegoat if the economy tanks.
And the truth is, the Federal Reserve probably will deserve the blame, not that I envy the balancing act they are required to do.
Trump’s policies have been pro-growth. They could be better if he could announce that the tariffs are permanent, but Congress isn’t on board with that yet. The market will be slower to adjust to the tariffs, if they think the tariffs are temporary.

Zillionaires like Jeff Bezos would willingly part with mere billion or two to get rid of Trump. There are plenty of looney lefties in Silicon Valley who would do the same.
Scuttle your own ship to get rid of the rats? Brilliant strategy!! Damn the children’s futures all to Big Gubamint enslavement or Bust.
There will always be swamp rats that could swim in their own uhhh stuff and not bat an eye. Good luck getting rid of them.
Just some patches of bumpy air, the way things work these days. big UPs and Downs.. could be machines, profit takers, a coordinated run induced by panicking the herd,
Any way you cut it, you won’t hear financial advisers and firms complaining and it was near the holidays anyway, just mo’ money in the kitty and a nice vacay.
They have bills too. Ours leases some mighty nice cars, can’t wait to see what he’s driving next visit.
I am listening to these NeverTrumpers, GOPE, and self-proclaiming “conservative media” carry on like their good friends across the aisle and wonder are they really that detached from the political reality of the Republican base and conservatives or do they look in the mirror prattle on about all the conservative things they will do if they are ever elected, you know like the last 30 years of articles, interviews and broken campaign promises and believe their own BS.
Trump has exposed their shallow spinelessness, arrogance and limousine liberal Republican crapola. When Trump departs the scene these people have nothing to offer I’m remotely interested in, nothing! So why would I waste another second on their articles, speeches and utter lies they trot out as campaign promises. Either they will return to the GOP as their political home or Trumps base will, but they cannot coexist. One will be sent packing. If it’s Trumps base the GOP is done as a viable political party.
Everyone I’ve spoken to believes the PTB are deliberately killing jobs, the market and the economy to hurt Trump
Now I ask, is beggering everyone a winning game when you are blamed instead of your target?
Worth repeating.
“We have to face the facts that 67 votes to convict and remove do exist in the Senate if it served to protect the Uniparty’s power.”
I hate to say it but I think you are correct. There are enough RINO’s who do not like their gravy train being cut off.
If they can’t impeach him, they will kill him. I wonder what they are planning to do with Pence?
Drudge is and always has been a liberal.

This is the crux of our problem with the media/Swamp/technoarchs: WE do not have any leverage with them.
Don’t watch? They do not care. They will suck up any losses as long as necessary.
Don’t watch and don’t believe them? They not only do not care, they will go to the mat to characterize you (us) as stupid/ignorant/etc, etc. They have enough sway with their own true believers to propagate these smears and lies through social media where you (we) are banned and censored as ignorant/stupid, etc.
Boycott? Yeah, right. The technoarchs control most consumer/financial/information transactions.
Go Galt? They pray we do, so then we are simply no longer even in the equation of our society, safely ghetto-ized and forgotten.
Create competing platforms? See Boycott.
Sue them? They have infinitely deep pockets and judicial cronies who know how to drag things out until you die or go broke. Meanwhile, their minions on social media will shred you every which way they can.
Too much interlocking and concentrated power is the problem.
I read that the original designers of the Internet (or WWW?)
were close to releasing a distributed version. IDK if this true or if it is solution.
The elites have us by the shorts. They will go to any lengths to disenfranchise us and destroy our POTUS, our economy, our country and our very lives unto the 7th generation. They will proudly take the blame for beggaring everyone and their delusional vassals and serfs will cheer them on, even as they, too are eradicated.
If someone wrote this as a novel, it would be laughed at for being too far-fetched, but there it is: mass 21st century insanity.
then we should back a military takeover and screw the deep state big time...open civil conflict.....f’em
totally agree...lets get it on

Suppose the Senate votes to convict on purely political reasons, where does one appeal the conviction?
