    I don’t know the technical definition of a street gang, which probably has some sort of organized crime element to it.  Antifa is more of a clown show intended to intimidate.  I don’t know if that qualifies.

    Oh just wait.  At some point we will realize these interest rates were low.

    The long bond in particular is being kept artificially low via supply.  The treasury is issuing tons of short term debt and limited long term debt.  They will be proven to be the most short sighted treasury leaders in history.

    If I had more money I’d be short long duration treasuries from here to 2027.  Rates have to go up.  Once they go up, they will stay up because of the volume of treasury issues required to simply fund the debt.

    WSJ did a nice job of covering him.

    I agree we need more like him.

    One has to wonder if Kate would be funded if she were non-partisan.

    Methinks no.

    One thing is for sure, Doc:  They both got more NIL money than you or I ever did.

    I walked into a local smoothie bar and bought a smoothie last week. I didn’t even ask about price. I figured 10 bucks was par.

    13 bucks. For a smoothie.

    The smoothie was good but I won’t be back.

    Amazing to see that Trump was at 48% approval at this point in 2020. Then, the pandemic took off, Dems encouraged riots in the streets, and Trump was turned into evil incarnate by the press.

    History shows that vice presidents play a bit role. They range from useful displays of competence (think Dick Cheney) to mere insurance policies (Kamala) to actively dismissed but politically necessary (Truman hardly ever met with Roosevelt).

    I think Joe Biden is a relatively small man who views his VP position with Obama as somehow a favor he did Barack.  These reports on his needs to compare to his former commander in chief are instructive:  the man knows that Barack was right in his assessment.

    in reply to: Sotomayor should quit now #8239

    We have a better court thanks to the Trump administration.  That was my rationale for voting for Trump, and to this day it stands true.  A court with three more liberal justices like sotomayor, who seems not to even have a judicial philosophy outside of her politics, would be a disaster for regular Americans.

    There is political hay to be made on the overturn of Roe, but the reality is that the court only sent the issue back to the states. This was the correct move, and the one that should constitutionally be done more often.

    Oh he took a bump or a hit of something.  He was yelling like a madman out there.

    Also, he kept saying he has reduced the deficit.  It’s a fascinating thing, how the Dems treat the pandemic and the spending within it as business as usual.

    I thought Haley’s showing was relatively strong.

    I do think that we are seeing a hollowing out of the middle aisle.

    I probably haven’t thought it through, but she probably would out Biden over the top if so. Manchin would have probably put trump over the top.
