They flat out shut down the casino tonight. Probably they should keep it closed all day tomorrow. Not doing anyone any favors. Stocks etc are at it again.

Yeah they like to borrow at 1.7% so that they can make another 20% shorting the US stock market. GS called "correction" about 2 hours before the selling began.

Aussie exchange is up today with banks & miners doing well. Could be a very different story when the market closes in 35 minutes.

US futures are up fairly nice too. I'd say real nice but they are only regaining less than 1/3 what they lost today.

Observing VP Biden past actions, with the potential of future actions, he is a poor choice. Talking to foreign friends, the US has gained respect, not lost it.

I would not like to be around when Trump realizes that the medical community has grossly screwed up and/or played him over the Chinese COVID-19 panic in an attempt to crash capitalism.
The first successful trials of Chloroquine were in January and involved Stanford university and CDC. Yet CDC people have been standing in front of the world in the President's team saying that there was no cure have to wait for a vaccine. This was a blatant lie. Even when presented with 100% successful human trials they waffled on about just showing something works in small animals doesn't mean it is a cure.
The inescapable conclusion is that there are people who want this panic to continue. They need to be imprisoned. AND if Soros made huge profits by repeated shorting then his companies need to be subject to a 110% windfall tax.

I have to agree with you at least on the first part of your post. I think Joe has slipped and worse Joe's desire to be all things to all people makes him more likely to enact policys that produce strife. Should he chose an effective VP, someone like Amy, he will maybe impossible to defeat. I watched his debate with Bernie. I'll take him at his word. Prepare for open borders and the Green New Deal ... just for starters. Amy too. They are on the record.

This would come out in a General Election. VP Biden shouldn't have run. When voting, I will vote for the best Candidate. Between Biden and Trump, President Trump wins hands down for me.

I will do a search for you. I have heard her when she is running. She is for the green new deal, for abortion up to 9 months. Treats her staff like shit. My good friend is Senator Hoevens ND contact. Funny how the "peons" talk over a beer. Sen Amy has a reputation amongst staff members. He said he would NEVER work for her as he didn't feel like having things thrown at him. Look at her voting record. It isn't pretty

I was searching for a Mark Twain quote and ran across this from Joe Biden ... "Folks, I can tell you I've known eight presidents, three of them intimately". Joe Biden I don't even wanna go there.

Nope, no how wanna go there!!! I did finally find that Mark Twain quote I was looking for. "Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience."

Doesn't bother me. The Captain needed disciplinary action. The Assnt Sec of Defense also needed disciplinary action. He resigned. What I am observing, and have for some time. When someone is inept in the Trump Administration, they are booted out. During the Obama Administration, they were kept on and the results were extremely poor. I am finding the revolving door refreshing to say the least.

I just wish Trump could have at this point had a competent cabinet after what has been almost 4 years. That I will agree with. In the recent past administration, the cabinet was incompetent, yet never left. The carnage was readily evident to folks who watch for this. At least President Trump isn't afraid to say "Your FIRED!".
