Based on the new info that came out today, I predict Trump will be convicted of racketeering by November 2022.Main stream media will not be wrong. I dare anyone to to take the other side of this viewpoint and declare me an idiot.I'll remind you of how wrong you were for as long as you post on this blog once the conviction / plea bargain occurs. Any brave souls or members of the church of Trump willing to take up this challenge. Jail not a criminal fine.The worst thing that ever happened to Trump was being elected President.Gov. Cuomo is finished also.
@Entropy4Free Do you mean the worse ever happened to the US was Trump being elected president?
@Ben Gee
Worst thing to happen to Trump.His world is about to come apart.I see felony convictions, fines leveled by the I.R.S., and a complete collapse in his business empire. That or an early retirement from life.Donny has lived a trite and petty life. All his bullshit and bluster will not save him now. He's going down. Hard.Good old fashioned cosmic karma....for real.

@Entropy4Free Early retirement? THe guy is 74?
I retired when I was 61, in my prime and love my job. Why did I retired? It was bad time, cut back every where, if I did not retire, someone with a young family would be without a job. I love my job but I did not need it, I gave the job to someone desperately need a job.

As I have mentioned before the Capitol Police are not and were not equipped for the Jan 6th attempted Trump insurrection. 'House lawmakers on Monday will be briefed on a new security review that recommends widespread changes at the U.S. Capitol following the January 6 insurrection. The final report calls for the hiring of more than 1,000 Capitol Police officers, a dedicated quick reaction force and the installation of retractable fencing around the complex, according to a draft obtained by CBS News.'The study was led by former Hurricane Katrina Commander and retired Lieutenant General Russel Honore and a task force composed of other former senior military officials. The 15-page document seeks to streamline the chain of command after significant delays in deploying the National Guard during the riot. www.cbsnews.com/...
Reversing more insane Trump immigration policy, House Democratic legislators including the chair of the Veterans Affairs committee have reintroduced legislation that would block the deportation of non citizen U.S. military veterans, and allow eligible deported veterans to return home to the U.S.
Too bad most of the stimulus package doesn't have anything to do with stimulus or covid relief. Maybe the robinhooders go on one final spree when those checks hit. The markets have had a lot of days lately that are really promising up until an hour of the close and give much of it back. Maybe there's more left but we got so much back in the past year, without supporting earnings, that imho you need to be careful. Employment numbers aren't so bright if you look below the surface. Being greedy gets you slaughtered. I'm again selling into strength and storing dry powder.
@TMMD Trump gets credit for all the good he did from 2017 to the 2020 Chinese Virus hit.
Nothing good comes from China, they poison our baby toys, food, drywall, our people, hack our servers and steal our patents and ideas. Screw China and anyone that invests in Chinese stocks.

Trump gets credit for all the good he did from 2017 to the 2020 Chinese Virus hit.@jack D Stocks @techy46@TMMD@GreenEggs&Ham....and yet on the other 3/8/21 thread active today Techy just commented the following - "There's a 2-8 year lag between political actions.....We were discussing debt gains but works for net gains as well. So basically given that "Lag" logic Trump admin (2017 to 2020 before virus hit) just built off the strong foundational economic ground work The Obama administration laid the preceding years.Unless some folks here are lookin to have it both ways. Things that make ya go Hmmmm......
@Scootrd I disagree, but that's ok, pat Obama on the back all you want.
