Cops see a black man with a gun, they execute him. That is true in Alabama or Minnesota and would certainly be true even in liberal Madison WI.

I can carry because I am fat old white man. My son, being Asian, would probably get killed if he had a gun in public. And I have made sure he knows that.

I think that’s what frustrates me because there is a double standard here and you’re right it’s wvetuwh regardless how liberal it may be.

I don’t care how liberal your area is.

The cops there are not liberals. Especially the white male cops. If you are black and carrying anything in your hand at all, you can get shot. Hell, you can get shot and have nothing in your hands in the first place while walking casually.

I don’t really understand what’s happening here except there’s now a disincentive to invest in longer longer term treasury notes and the same thing happened a year before the financial crisis hit. So this could be a harbinger of bad things to come.

On the one hand, I remember the hardships of the Great Recession and really do not want to relive them again.

On the other, seeing Donny dragged for 2 years because of a massive recession he caused/sped up would warm the cockles of my cold, black heart.

Trump will emerge from this “intact” but many Americans will lose their homes/businesses because they don’t have an inheritance to rely on as Trump did originally. But for all of Trump’s touts about the economy, that’s the one thing keeping him afloat even among his bigot brigade base. If the economy implodes, they’ll desert him too - or else blame the downturn on Democrats and spin conspiracies to prove that too.

They’ll blame Democrats somehow and/or claim that it was a market correction that they knew was coming and thus Donny had nothing to do with it. You know, just like the unbroken economic recovery under Obama was “THE WORST EVA!!!” but Donny producing the exact same numbers is “THE START OF A NEW GOLDEN ERA!!!”

I foresee major inflation, combined with a very sluggish investment pattern for the excess money. This is tied to the tax cuts, which increase the money supply both directly, by leaving it in fatcat hands, and indirectly, through deficit spending. The sluggishness results from a lack of incentive for capital investment, as opposed to money market speculation.

Inflation might not be a bad thing at this point. It’ll force wages up, and in theory at least, would make it easier for people with debt to afford their payments. That has always been one of the reasons that taking on student loan debt or mortgage payments wasn’t necessarily a bad thing - if you figure for reasonable inflation, you’re paying less in the later years. But with inflation being mostly non-existent and wage stagnation, those kinds of safe debt for people outside the top couple percent have become less safe and more expensive.

My brother already claims that the 2008 downturn was due to the Democrats taking control of Congress. It is natural that he is now spouting that recent market problems before the election were due to the anticipated change in control in the House. Except for the Koch Bros and their ilk, all who support Donald are totally deluded and have lost the ability to think critically on their own. They dismiss news sources that don’t conform to their preconceived notions.

it means that bond specialists are factoring in a recession by keeping their money on the short end. They simply can’t make an educated guess on what may happen more than 2 years out. Maybe we’ll be cycling out of a short-term recession. Or maybe we’ll be dropping a rope into a highly-radioactive crater in hopes of bringing back something that will initiate us into the Brotherhood of Steel.

the ironic thing is that i may actually start to do better financially, as recessions normally drive waves of people into getting new degrees in stuff. And crazily enough, my lack of a doctorate means I don’t have any illusions about what I’m worth to someone wanting an English instructor.

Hallowed are the Ori. /

Seriously though, if you’re close to retirement, you should have already shifted assets into more stable securities and become less risky in your portfolio. If you’ve got a lot of time before retirement, make sure that you’re investing periodically via dollar cost averaging so that you can benefit from the dips and balance out the peaks… If you’re in a 401(k) and contributing 5% (and maxing out your corporate match), continue to do so. If you think that’s risky, drop the percentage a bit, but make sure to max out the corporate match no matter what.

People should periodically check their portfolio and make sure that they’re not overweighted in one particular security or fund - making them susceptible to big gains/losses and change the weighting of their portfolio.

Another thing you could do if you’re concerned about a downturn is to park more of your assets in bond funds and cash funds, but also know that it means you don’t see the gains you might otherwise have if you’re buying into a weak market. Only you can judge your risk aversion.

Kudlow was busy claiming that we weren’t in a recession, let alone worst since Great Depression while we were 2 quarters in to it.

So yeah, if he’s saying to keep buying as though everything is great, it’s a good sign to look elsewhere. He can’t be trusted.

It’s times like this when you’d want someone trustworthy who knows something about the markets and economics in these key positions, but Trump has no one. They’re all compromised cronies.

Two issues with this:
1. At one time, the belief was that at retirement, one should avoid risk and look at stable funds. On the other hand, if you have longevity in your family history, you really have to look at a longer period. If you might be living to your nineties, and not your seventies, you need to consider riskier assets to protect against risk of inflation (I know, it’s been very modest now — but that was not so true in the 1970’s and 1980’s).
2 The problem with bond funds that many overlook is that if interest rates start moving up, the value of the bond fund will start dropping and you may discover that you have lost a significant portion of your assets. Cash and shorter term bonds can alleviate that risk.

I’ve come to the conclusion that while there isn’t much a president can do to make the economy better, there’s plenty they can do to make it worse. Best case scenario is that the government establishes decent guardrails to prevent bubbles and/or craters.

I don’t disagree with either. Risk is a relative term, and shifting to less risky assets is relative as is knowing the time frame for how much you need and for how long.

Bonds are often viewed as a safer haven, but there’s risk to everything.

Cash and shorter term bonds can alleviate some of the risk (and there are bond funds with those features as well).

Some 401ks and mutual fund companies have retirement offerings with year outcomes - say you’re trying to retire in 2040, so you’d pick a fund with a 2040 outcome, so as you approach that date, they move the fund towards a more conservative approach (so you don’t have to do this yourself).

My comment above also doesn’t take into account whether you’ve got available cash for emergencies, debt owed, etc. all of which can and should play role in where/how you place your money as it may make more sense to pay down debt (especially if it’s high interest debt). Again - you have to know your own financial situation.

The President shall, at stated Times, receive for his Services, a Compensation, which shall neither be encreased nor diminished during the Period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the United States, or any of them.

Gee, I wonder who was behind this:

Emails from top officials at the National Republican Congressional Committee were hacked during the 2018 midterm elections, Republican sources tell CNN, exposing the GOP’s House campaign arm to an intrusion by an “unknown entity.”

The hack, which was first reported by Politico, was discovered by a vendor in April after emails from four senior committee aides had been surveilled for months, a Republican official with knowledge of the intrusion tells CNN.

A source familiar with the investigation into the hack told CNN that the attackers would have been able to see all the emails being sent and received by the NRCC aides whose accounts were breached.

Basically when the yield curves invert, it means that investors expect interest rates to fall soon, so they want to lock in the higher rates for longer.

Years ago, my husband and I were sold a bond with 8% interest as interest rates were dropping. It seemed like a great investment; unfortunately as it turned out, the bond had a provision that allowed the issuer to call it back early. So, instead of 10 years of 8% return, we had 18 months of that return.

What investors expect and what happens can diverge dramatically.

About that Epstein lawsuit:

A rich and politically connected money manager accused of sexually abusing dozens of underage girls reached a last-minute settlement Tuesday in a lawsuit, denying his alleged victims — for now, at least — the chance to testify against him.

The case involved Jeffrey Epstein, a 65-year-old Florida financier who secretly negotiated a plea bargain a decade ago that enabled him to escape a possible life sentence on federal sex-trafficking charges. That deal has given rise to suspicions he used his influence to get prosecutors to go easy on him.

The lawsuit that was settled Tuesday did not touch directly on Epstein’s alleged predilection for sex with underage girls. It was a defamation suit brought by a lawyer, Bradley Edwards, who said Epstein tried to smear him.

Edwards, who represents some of Epstein’s alleged victims, had planned to put some of them on the stand if the lawsuit had gone to trial.

The non-prosecution deal protecting Epstein was negotiated by federal prosecutors in South Florida and approved by then-U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta, who is now President Donald Trump’s labor secretary. Epstein could have faced a possible life sentence if federal prosecutors had pursued a draft 57-page indictment that was never filed.

Instead, under the deal, Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to two sex-related state charges, served 13 months in jail, paid financial settlements to many of the accusers and registered as a sex offender.

While this might happen at some point, the current Treasury yields show that the world is making bets that US Treasury securities will be the best place to be over the next 5 years. People aren’t dumping US bonds, they are demanding them in greater numbers. That’s why the price is rising (or, put the other way, the interest rate is falling).

re: #70 Hecuba’s daughter

Years ago, my husband and I were sold a bond with 8% interest as interest rates were dropping. It seemed like a great investment; unfortunately as it turned out, the bond had a provision that allowed the issuer to call it back early. So, instead of 10 years of 8% return, we had 18 months of that return.

What investors expect and what happens can diverge dramatically.

Well that sucks.

There aren’t any T-Bills that work that way (AFAIK), which is why the rate on T-Bill yields is an indicator of what the market thinks is likely to happen over a given time frame. Roughly, when you see yields go down, it means that the market thinks that bonds will be safer than other assets (vs. inflation) in that time frame, or they think general inflation risk is lower than it was before.

fern01  Dec 4, 2018 • 1:40:06pm

re: #33 Hecuba’s daughter

Two issues with this:
1. At one time, the belief was that at retirement, one should avoid risk and look at stable funds. On the other hand, if you have longevity in your family history, you really have to look at a longer period. If you might be living to your nineties, and not your seventies, you need to consider riskier assets to protect against risk of inflation (I know, it’s been very modest now — but that was not so true in the 1970’s and 1980’s).
2 The problem with bond funds that many overlook is that if interest rates start moving up, the value of the bond fund will start dropping and you may discover that you have lost a significant portion of your assets. Cash and shorter term bonds can alleviate that risk.

I’m currently retired and have most of my investments in a balanced fund(shares, property, bonds & some cash) - same as 2008 (when I wasn’t retired). I lost about 20% in 2008/09 and had it back and more by 2012.

Many of my friends swapped to “safer” investments in 2009 & NEVER recovered their losses. Timing is everything & most rarely manage to time things well. I trust the people who manage my money - and who told me the markets probably had 2 good years under trump - and that seems to be playing out well.

I’m not looking forward to the next 2 years of the markets - but if it gets rid of trump - I’ll manage somehow.

Mueller’s probably gamed out this scenario and not only has federal charges waiting, but the similar charges available to file in NY state court.

Mueller knows how to deal with persons of interest in this position. If they think they can walk and claim 5A to avoid prosecution, they’ll find another thing coming their way. Mueller can even sweet talk Stone into giving up everything on everyone else - like Corsi. There are so many ways this can play out, and few favor Stone.

Message received. But I do have to wonder who the “heavy” is that makes Trump’s messages stick with someone like Stone? I know they have known each other for a long time, but I get the vibe someone is the enforcer that makes all the Trump puppets dance the way they want them to dance.

McConnell plays the long game.

Look at Wisconsin: Dems won all statewide offices, they received over 50% of the vote for legislative races, but courtesy of gerrymandering, the GOP has 64% of the seats in the legislature and the Dems only 36%. Every time I become optimistic, the GOP shows how they play their game to destroy democracy, and so far they aren’t yet losing. The GOP in Wisconsin is going to guarantee that they run everything, even though they are a minority.

I think the original form of the quote was “SOB”, and was usually attributed to Franklin Roosevelt - in reference to Anastasio Somoza, Sr.:
dictator President of Nicaragua; and long-time American stooge ally.

The difference nowadays is that Prince MBS isn’t running a backwater “banana republic”, but a seriously wealthy petrostate in the middle of the volatile and vitally important Middle East. And has resources to buy his way into political influence in this country that Somoza could never dream of.

Analysis: Temporary or not, from foreign trips to funeral preparation, the most unconventional of commanders-in-chief is suddenly hitting some standard presidential notes.

even if you thought the guy didnt shit the bed for “one day in a row”, you think that somehow instantly makes him ‘presidential’?

I can be somewhat sympathetic to the idea that social media are quasi-public squares. But, hate speech (like fighting words) is not protected speech. I think you can even argue, somewhat convincingly, that most conspiracy theories these fools spout are likely also not protected speech, particularly if it is accusing specific people of committing crimes with reckless disregard for the truth (which is defamation per se).

Our standard gag line at work regarding upper management “They are smart people — they know what they are doing” — which we repeated as it became increasingly clear that no — they didn’t have a clue — and eventually they were replaced by new management. They would certainly have scored high on IQ tests but they were clueless when our company went public on how to run a public organization.

Some folks are smart. Some are savvy. Some are intense. Some might have been good in a lower management role. But just because you’re CEO doesn’t make you smarter than everyone else in the room or the company, because they aren’t.

They just got lucky to get to that role. And we’ve all see situations where failure is promoted upwards to get rid of problems, rather than fire the person outright when they deserved to be gone.

A saw something once that said that CEOs were not usually the straight-A students, or top-of-the-class sorts. It’s not that they’re dumb, because usually they aren’t. But the skillset needed to be a good CEO does not necessarily require you to be a genius.

MANDAN, N.D. (AP) — A man who police say was high on drugs when he stripped naked and climbed into the holy water font during Mass at a North Dakota church has pleaded not guilty to an indecent exposure charge.

Authorities say 21-year-old Zachary Burdick was asked to leave the Spirit of Life Catholic Church in Mandan on Oct. 9 because he was trying to bless congregants. He later returned, took off his clothes, climbed into the fountain then walked down the aisle performing a lewd act in front of the congregation that included preschool children.

KFYR-TV reports that Burdick pleaded not guilty Monday to felony indecent exposure and misdemeanor disorderly conduct. A trial date has not been set.

The felony charge against him carries a maximum punishment of five years in prison.

He loved the science, even though he wasn’t a scientist, and he really energized the place. Plus he did a great job schmoozing the investors.

Lou, what would you say if someone said Trey Gowdy was trying to kill HRC? You and your network of Trump humping hyenas would ridicule it. Mueller has every right to investigate Trump and you’re a racist old hack who is going down in history as a lackey to a fascist.

The train from Kook-a-monga has gone supersonic.

Is Hillary Clinton The Whore of Babylon?

Today, SkyWatch TV posted a program in which End Times author and SkyWatch TV CEO Tom Horn suggested that Hillary Clinton is the “Whore of Babylon” who was conceived during a ritual carried out in 1946 by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.

Horn claimed that stolen emails posted by Wikileaks revealed that Clinton had filled her 2016 presidential campaign with “occultists” who believe her to be the biblical Whore of Babylon who will usher in the Antichrist.

Citing a ritual that took place in 1946 called “The Babylon Working” in which Hubbard and others allegedly attempted to conceive a goddess through “ritual sex magic,” Horn claimed that Clinton may have been the result of that effort “to bring through, into our reality, the archetype divine feminine, the Whore of Babylon.”

“She’ll grow up, she’ll become an influential worldwide-known feminist who will help give rise to the Antichrist,” Horn said. “They believed that that was Hillary Clinton.”

Supersonic? Now entering orbit around the flat earth, I’d say.

HRC as people learn more, they’ll realize this was a stateswoman. Trump will be regarded as a stupid Benedict Arnold.

re: #268 thecommodore

Maybe Mueller is going to finally admit that there is no evidence of collusion and that the real crime here was the unmasking of Flynn by Susan Rice.

Because, as we all know, the problem isn’t Flynn committing felonies. The problem is people knowing about it.

If only Chick-Fil-A opened a little earlier, I’d eat it for breakfast a little more often. These days I leave for work so early that they’re only just opening by the time I get to the office.
