“The Trump administration suffers from a singularly morally bankrupt strain of this tribalism,

in which loyalty to President Trump is prized above all else and failings are ignored,

especially failings that echo those of the president himself.”
@RuthMarcus





but hey, I got a tax cut ...

Dow is down another 1k

Just so we have this on record.

This is Trump's fault?

Correction is fine by me.

Can't wait to buy in.

The underlying economic indicators are tremendous. People are just cashing out and getting nervous with interest rates. Seems like Trump is going to get the benefit of the Fed propping up the market.

I keep thinking about how John Kelly lied about and disparaged

Rep. Wilson for daring to demand respect for a grieving widow and contrasting that

to his resolute defense

of a man he *knew* had been

credibly accused of domestic abuse.

there aren't enough " extra couple hundred a month" s to ever side with these people.
On anything

What a deplorable lot

Yeah, exactly. I think there's a degree of interest rate antsiness at play, but algo trading looks like a big factor as well (it was especially evident on Monday, and today's precipitous drop seems to bear many of the same hallmarks). It will be interesting to see if the markets recover as robustly tomorrow as they did Tuesday, and whether automated trading regulation is something we see looked at more comprehensively in the future.

The automated trading is whats really doing this. You have these massive investment shops just flooding the market with securities based on sell prices. When you are reaching a volatile time right now that can trigger at any time and create the massive sell-off as you described. High frequency trading is always something that I've hated albeit not entirely the same thing. We need to figure out a way to divest these large investment houses and spread the business around to more places. While not being labeled a monopoly in effect they act as a large monopoly in consortium.

Darn it thought we would get an answer here

From Lewandowski to Rob Porter. I hope Hope likes the rough stuff.

It was gonna happen anyway but the tax cuts probably had an effect.

[Runnin]

They should outsource the parade to the ROTC and military universities with marching bands. Trump will never know the difference.

Yeah...the equity markets hate higher earnings.

Replying to @Lawrence @TheLastWord

Might I point out that @Lawrence, @maddow and @TheLastWord had

Gen John Kelly's number back when other media types were falling all over

themselves to proclaim him Pope?

I notice things like media's ability to properly judge character

because that ability is in short supply! ��

[cajunrevenge]

So is it Obama's economy again?

President Trump doesn’t read his daily intelligence briefings,

gets oral briefings on “select” issues instead, because reading isn’t

“his style of learning,” the @washingtonpost reports

y'all voted for and/or apologize/ enable a person with the attention span of a 7 year old to the most complex job in the world.

But, on the other hand, he gave you "an extra couple hundred a month"

there is an old joke - the punch line goes, "now that we know what you are we are just negotiating the price"
any one else know the rest ?

Trump is skipping written daily intel briefs,

opting for the elevator pitch instead.

It's the same brief that warned GW Bush in Aug. 2001

that bin Laden was determined to strike

[sturg33]

This budget deal is shameful
