Time to pull money out of the stock market?

Dow Jones broke 24,000 today over the strong odds that corporations and the rich will get their massive tax cut. Of course, every time these big tax cuts go through, they crash stock market crashes and destroys everyone finances.

Is it now dangerous to leave money in the stock market?

Grassley and Trump plan to pack the US Judiciary

Just reported on MSNBC that Grassley wants to add 447 federal judicial positions that Trump can pack with ultra-conservative justices that serve for life.

This is so transparent and corrupt, yet nothing we can do to stop it. I anticipate a massive regression of social policies and equality in the near future.

This country is really on its way to being unlivable and more akin to 2nd and 3rd world countries. Conservative dominated countries are almost always hell-holes. America is headed in that direction.

While I hope we can stop the damage, I also wish I had some other options of countries to move to. As a gay Jew, I'm very concerned about my rights and safety in this country, completely ignoring the the issues with healthcare and taxes which will substantially hurt me.

Got banned from City Data politics forum. Should I be sad?

Aside from here and Reddit, I frequent City Data politics. Have been there for 8 years. Keep getting targeted by their absolutely disgusting, Trump worshipping mods who target Democrats for the tiniest things, delete their posts, and let Trump trolls get away with murder.

But it used to be much better with lots of good liberal/Dem posters and is one of the largest on the internet. I got my final warning, 30 day suspension today for hijacking/trolling threads. Apparently I've been mentioning Trump too much in threads, and the idiot mods view that as trolling. Meanwhile, Hillary and Obama get attacked daily by the Trump cult with no consequence.

I get bummed over getting banned places. You put years into a community and then to never be allowed back bothers me. Anyone else feel that way? I'm also mad I can't get revenge on the idiot mod who banned me. He needs to be removed.

Tax Reform can used reconciliation?

I keep hearing that reconciliation is going to be used to pass the Tax bill. I thought they wasted that on Healthcare and couldn't use it again until next session?

Rumors of mass resignations soon

Saw this tweet. Seems too good to be true, but I guess we'll see.

Donna Brazile: "I found no evidence" election was rigged

/sigh. Damage already done. Another bomb like the Comey email before an election that was flat out wrong about Clinton.

I'm so sick of this crap.
