Impact of election on market

I bet it’ll be a crazy weekend and there will be rioting.

There might be some fireworks when a nominee for the vacant Supreme Court seat is announced.

Um. There’s already protesting over Breonna Taylor. The only question is if it’ll turn violent or not.

“According to Cameron, a witness said officers both knocked and announced their presence before they raided Taylor’s home March 13 in a search linked to a drug investigation, meaning the warrant was not served as “no-knock.” He said when no one answered, officers breached the door.”

All of the original media coverage stated it was a no-knock warrant, and police didn’t knock. That was supposed to be why the boyfriend started shooting at the police. Louisville even passed a new law to ban no-knock warrants after it happened. The way tragedy is used to spread misinformation to further political agendas is disgusting.

Just wait until all the facts about Floyd come out. I wouldn’t want to be near an urban center when that verdict comes down. Or the Rittenhouse verdict. It’s an outrage that guy was even charged with a crime.

Moody: GDP will be a trillion dollars higher if Biden beats Trump and Dems win the Senate.

Unfortunately for Biden, the voters in states like Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and PA do not care about what Moody Analytics has to say.

Moody’s also rated all those MBS bonds AAA. Anyone can make any prediction. It is probably worth looking at precious track record to see if the prediction is worth anything.

I’m sure they also predicted tax revenue would drop after Trump’s tax cuts when the posits happened.

Bush raised taxes in 1990 and GDP growth was negative in 1991.

I’m sure Biden can defy history though. This time it’ll be different.

The problem is that the leftist messages (like liberty, fraternity, and equality etc) are not resonating well with people. People want law and order, and public safety even if liberty, fraternity, and equality takes a back seat for a while.

Law and order will not happen until we have leadership that unites us as a country with shared values instead of dividing us along racial/cultural/geographic lines. Antifa and the Proud Boys are two sides of the same coin…more similar than different at the end of the day. No amount of policing will keep these groups apart until we have more liberty, fraternity and equality from our leadership i.e. basic respect for all citizens and non-citizens.

Law treats citizens and non-citizens differently. Antifa and the Proud Boys are not same as two coins of same side. Voting right of an ordinary citizen and giving the same to felons and criminals in not same. And that is what this election is becoming all about.

When the president is a de facto felon, why should anyone else obey the law?

Never said anything about ‘equal’ treatment of citizens and non-citizens…just basic respect for all people regardless of their race, cultural identity or legal status. I’m a fairly strong proponent of robust immigration policy. At the very least we should have laws and they should be consistently enforced (otherwise why have them).

What basic respect do you want to give to felons, Antifa, arsonists, rioters, looters, and illegal immigrants?

For starters I would give an illegal immigrant who was carried across the border when he was 2 years old and grown up in this country more respect than a citizen who paid off a cracked out porn star to keep his affair secret from the American people, bribed Ukraine with military aid to stage a fake investigation of his political rival, and has cheated on his taxes for the last ~50 yrs.

And what kind of basic respect do you want to give to looters, arsonists, felons, and antifa?

Innocence until proven guilty in a court of law. I would give the violent Antifa types the same respect I give these guys (i.e. not very much):

Also tell us what do you mean when you ask “basic respect” to be given to looters, arsonists, felons, and Antifa.

What is basic respect?

Do you give basic respect to an illegal by giving him US citizenship?
Do you give basic respect to a looters and arsonists by protecting them from the law?

Do you give basic respect to felons and prisoners by releasing them from jail and sending them to the polling booths?

Do you give basic respect to Antifa by de-funding the police so that they can loot and riot without fear?

I already answered your question. The moderates in this country don’t support any of the ideas you proposed. Sorry, Bernie and Warren lost the Democratic primary. Biden won and has been de facto endorsed by the past three Republican candidates for the presidency (Bush, McCain and Romney) by their refusal to endorse Trump.

Why do you support leaving a felon in the White House? The rest of the world thinks we are turning into a third world fake democratic republic like Venezuela or Belarus.
