A win for Trump. It may well change to a loss but, for now, definitely a good thing for the US.

The text of the “peace deal” is much closer to being “an agreement on how to work toward a peace deal,” but we can still expect the media silos to rapidly toe their respective lines.

Trump seems desperate to make a deal, so I expect he'll be pretty forgiving as the deadline for full withdrawal gets closer. He's clearly naive if he thinks the Taliban are going to start killing terrorists for us.
But it's reignited the Trump/Bolton feud, and I can't get enough of that.

We should cut a deal and get out. War is lost. Saving face while Americans die in vain is silly.

A Federal judge has ruled that Ken Cuccinelli's appointment as acting head of US Citizenship and Immigration Services was in violation of the Federal Vacancies and Reform Act and all policies put in place by him are now void as a result:
Federal judge rules Ken Cuccinelli unlawfully ran immigration agency

The Taliban have broken the truce already.
That went well.

It’s just shocking that no one is willing to refuse to praise Trump during virus updates. You’d think someone would stand up for their own dignity.

While I think we should have gotten out of Afghanistan years ago, Trump doing a phone call with one of the founders of the Taliban is not a good look.

The whole thing was horribly corrupt, but Hunter technically didn't break any laws. And the public seems numb to corruption and sort of just accepting of it at this point. So who knows if it has any impact. I'm also sure they'll be digging up Rosemont Capital too. |

I'm guessing this is because the public believes that this sort of thing goes on in business and politics more frequently than not. Take a look at the way the first family does things. It's hard to believe that of all the corrupt things in the world, that go on between private citizens and foreign countries that this is the primary threat/topic that the Senate would be tracking down to root out. I mean, it's more than just opportunistic politics.

Maybe. I'm just surprised whenever I see a story about Trump giving something to China a day after his daughter secures some patents and no one cares. Either we don't care as a country or we're so beaten down by it that we just assume it is part of life. Republicans will go hard after him, but I don't think it's going to to sway any votes. Forces Democrats to give up the high ground on corruption, but like I said, that probably doesn't even matter anymore. |

It was fun while it lasted. I know why they did it and all, but there is so much money entrenched in these wars that it just becomes impossible to get out.

A federal judge has questioned how Barr handled the revealing of the Mueller Report and has ordered the DOJ to give him a totally un
redacted copy of the report by March 30 so he can go over it and decide what can be released to the public https://thehill.com/regulation/court...mueller-report

Remember Aaron Schock, former Congressman from Illinois who resigned over a funds scandal in 2015? There were rumors he was gay at the time too. He finally admitted it today saying family and religious pressure kept him from revealing it. He voted against every measure that would have helped LGBT people and said he was following the lead of the leader of the Republican party at the time John McCain and that both Hilary Clinton and Obama were of the same thought at the time.
Then didn't apologize for the harm he caused with his positions. Ex-U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock comes out as gay - News - Journal Star - Peoria, IL

Watching a room full of "Christians" applaud when Trump says you can't turn the other cheek, is really jarring.

Looks like another purge happening in Saudi Arabia and MBS further consolidating power.
I don't really care much what happens in their internal, extended family power struggles. We are frenemies with them now, it'll continue for a while, and the US will continue to do what is needed regardless of who is at the head of the snake ... but their importance will continue to decrease (go Elon and like). |

A reminder that Saudi Arabia was one of the biggest sources of funding for Al-Qaeda, ISIS, and the Taliban. They continue to help finance them. They are our friends.

Why do so many Trump adjacent folks think bragging about how little sleep he gets makes him look better?

Ted Cruz says he shook hands with the person who has come down with the virus at CPAC. Says he will self-quarantine

Futures currently down 1,000+ Currently Dow at 25,864. High was about 29,500 so 20% bear market is 23,600 ... so about another 2,300 to go. Coronavirus news is only going to get worse before getting better, so my guess is we'll get the 20% bear market. Last edited by Edward64 : 03-08-2020 at 08:15 PM. |

Japan economy contracted by 7% in Q1. 30 year Treasury dropped below 1% yield. Crazy.

This is a hoax driven by the media to make you afraid! {sorry my FB feed is full of this}
Still though, no answer for how the (Amercian) media is so powerful that foreign countries are basing all their decisions off of them. Of course, a friend told me tonight; "It's JUST A COLD!!"

I guess you could say this is good timing for me personally as I’m about to be eligible for my company’s 401K. Though it doesn’t change the fact that I’m starting at 37 and had my retirement savings wiped out entirely the past few years. |
