The media really makes me mad.

MSNBC right now showed the Dow dropping 165 points.

And what's the chyron say? "Dow drops as Dems talk about impeachment."

Blaming stock market fluctuations on impeachment is so stupid. That just makes people blame Dems for hurting the economy.

I'm so fed up with how irresponsible the media is.

Who did they talk to make that conclusion? Did they do a survey of sellers? Or did they just ask the usual RW hack.

I just witnessed Velshi spinning this and blaming the threat of impeachment.

These fuckers are something else - dishonest to the core.

Given that the senate is never going to remove Donnie, and even if it did, pence would be an improvement in well street's eyes because he'd likely end the trade war quickly, impeachment has little effect on stock prices.
