There are bills being racked up for this that will come due in the Biden-Harris administration and I will bet my children's lives that the GOP is going to rediscover their concern for deficits in about 3....2....1....

That's why we have to end the filibuster and not let them block Joe's policies to help our recovery.

And on election day it is under 18,000.

Investors can earn their money back under a Biden tenure.

I want the one last talking point of Donny Dumbfuck to be wiped the fuck out.

My losses would only be on paper and I have faith they'll come back.

America won't come back if trump remains.

That is all.

The selloff ahead of an election in which a change is anticipated does not necessarily signal a lack of confidence, but. Investors will likely look to reallocate holdings based on new spending priorities and tax policies.

Other things: bad news on the COVID drug testing front, and no stimulus -- possibly until the new Congress, but probably in lame duck.

7. Stephanie Rhule (MSNBC) always says the markets hate uncertainty.

So far the MSM has suppressed what happens to Survivors and how horrible this virus is. When it reaches critical mass of experience there will be significant change.

that the stock market symbolizes to Trumpy that he always likes to say he's responsible for. It was certainly more important to him than helping the people of this country.

Which means he really is counting on the Supremes to keep him out of jail.
