Kelly will resign on **FILL IN THE BLANK**

Fill in the blank with your date/time when he resigns. My guess, Friday, February 16th at 7:30 PM.

Post a pic of your pet and I will give you a heart. (Until I run out)

Does not matter if they've passed on or not. Post away!

--Update--

I am all out of hearts. Thank you for the wonderful pics!

What crazy shit would you ask for if you were president?

I don't mean major policy like a war, but something fun. I would ask for advanced screenings of TV shows, movies, and books before they were released. And I would tease the fuck out of the public with spoilers.

If yes, what nation and why? For me, it would be Germany. That nation suits me.

Folks, interest rates are going up which means that the cost of money will be higher

That's why we're seeing this sell off. We've had 0% interest rates from 2008 to about 2015-16 or so. We're still at a rate that historically would be seen as a"stimulus" level rate. Given declining unemployment, there's no reason to keep rates low.

So, there's a market correction to the new reality.

How, oh HOW, are they going to blame Obama for the sell off?

A year removed from his presidency. A year of Trump bragging about the stock market. HOW can they possibly blame Obama for this?

I am waiting.

Saw "The Post" and "Darkest Hour" back to back.

Both were meh. I was a little put off by how they portrayed Katharine Graham. I grew up in DC, so I am familiar with the post. That's not how she was. The character, Margaret Jones Pynchon of the TV show Lou Grant, was based on Graham.

So, who plays Carter Page in the movie about Trump's collusion with Russia?

I'm going to go with Matthew Lillard:
