I should have noted the passage of the Reproductive Parity Act in the Senate earlier. Since it has passed the House multiple times, it should be law by the end of the session.

    We can now bust into cackling laughter when someone brings up Clinton Russia Uranium.

    Democratic lawmakers revealed that a “whistleblower” who congressional Republicans once suggested would reveal damning evidence against Hillary Clinton had actually never even mentioned Clinton to the FBI.
    …
    Democrats now say that senior Justice Department officials told House Oversight and Government Reform Committee staffers in a December 15 briefing that the whistleblower had offered no evidence about Clinton. The Justice Department officials also said during the briefing that they considered the whistleblower, who has been identified in media reports as William Campbell, too unreliable to use as a witness due to inconsistencies in his story

    @1 Another GOP talking point turns out to be fiction. This is news? Reason left the GOP long ago, and all that’s left now is tribal loyalty.

    Carl,
    It shows how much real progress is waiting to be made once we get Roypublicans out of the way. There is a ton of built up momentum across the board. But progress will depend on delegitimizing decades of conservative racism, sexism, xenophobia, and superstition.

    @ 1

    Did you read the letter?

    Page 5, lines 2-3.

    DOJ is still pursuing charges and the Clinton link is still there. They’re just not using this guy because they consider his actions evidence of unreliability – he did things and concealed them. Not unlike Steele, a formerly reliable individual who bacame a hack for pay.

  5. 5

    According to Doctor Dumbfuck, Steele “did things and concealed them”.

    He just can’t say precisely what right now. You’ll just have to trust him. Mmkay?

  7. 7

    @4 You certainly conjure imaginative false equivalencies. If you’d been born earlier, I could see you writing “Lincoln is a political hack not unlike Jefferson Davis,” or “let’s not forget that Churchill and Stalin are both politicians.” Where did you get this talent?

  8. 8

    Say, doc, we missed you yesterday. I gather you were busy. Margin calls are a bitch, aren’t they? Feeling a little lighter today?

    @6 Evidence? Are you kidding? He’s got nothing. He can’t even pull a decent turd out of his ass.

    @4

    Bless your heart.

    Nunes lies on Fox News. Knowingly. (Why was she on the Sunday shows)

    GOP caught red handed concealing evidence.

    In page 5 justice confirms no evidence of impropriety by Secretary Clinton

    But you’re hanging your hat on the investigation is still being open. You’re so cute.

  11. 11

    @ 5,6,7,9

    Steele had participated in undisclosed meetings with the husband of a former Democrat political aspirant and his financial backers were initially undisclosed. He shared information with journalists while claiming he had not.

    Once credible, then not-so-much.

    I drew a parallel to the former FBI guy involved in the Clinton-U thing. Since he passed FBI background checks he was once credible. And now, apparently @ 1, not-so-much.

    @13 I’m sorry you experienced technical difficulties while I was backing up the truck. I feel for ya, doc. Sounds like you could use a better rabbit’s foot, although mine aren’t available.

    P.S., why didn’t you have that info taped to your computer? You’re supposed to verify it ahead of time.

    P.P.S., forget your HA password, too?

  14. 14

    You make Steele the issue. He’s not. The question is whether or not the evidence he gathered is collaborated or not. Address that. What has been supported by collaborating evidence? What hasn’t?

    Market’s not doing much right now. Been squatting at +270 to +350 for the last 2 hours. I’m waiting for Unilever and Novartis to go down more before I spring for them. Meanwhile just browsing stupid troll comments on a political blog I’m known to frequent during my idle time.

    This is beginning to look more like a flash crash than a correction. I doubt it’ll come all the way back up, at least not right away, but a month from now it may be like it never happened and it’ll be all but forgotten.

    I suspect what maybe happened is macho boys who like to play games with other people’s money got their shorts yanked down. Also, fund managers who know better were forced to sell when the rubes panicked and pulled their money out.

    These things feed on themselves and snowball pretty fast once they get going. On days like that, it’s like coming across an overturned candy delivery truck. All you have to do is scoop up the free sweets.

  17. 17

    @14 “You make Steele the issue. He’s not.”

    Of course he does, because ad hominem is what Repukes always do when they can’t win on the merits, which is more or less all the time.

  19. 19

    @ 14

    No idea.

    And I agree with you that Steele’s not the issue. The professionalism of the FBI and DOJ regarding their treatment of Steele’s information is the issue.

    A lot of people on the right are calling for release of the FISA court applications regarding Page. It’s one way to determine what FBI/DOJ bias there may have been.

    When the allegations against Steve Wynn surfaced a couple of weeks ago the market overreacted.

    It was a good time to sell naked puts.

    Wynn’s out as of last night and today WYNN is up nearly 8%.

    I’ve never directly owned a casino stock.

    “DOJ is still pursuing charges and the Clinton link is still there.”

    That’s why I continue to buy 2 Powerball tickets every Wednesday and Saturday…..The link (the ticket) is still there, I even put it in my wallet each time (just before tossing it out).

  25. 25

    @19 now if Page were gay, then maybe their would be some bias going on. And then that bias would have been perfectly fine.

    This case raises intriguing issues. Under anti-discrimination laws, is declining to make a product different from refusing to sell a product? And if so, is motive relevant, or is production always optional with the producer, regardless of his/her reasons?

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: I’m not sure I wouldn’t side with the judge on this call. I don’t care for the outcome, but in terms of legal principle, he might be right. I question whether courts can force manufacturers to manufacture under the rubric of non-discrimination. Can you really make someone make something, as opposed to making them sell something that’s already made? Interesting question.

    @28 Why not send all of the misbehaving boys back to their playpens? That would create opportunities for women who want to move up. And we might have fewer pointless wars if all our politicians are women.

    “The professionalism of the FBI and DOJ regarding their treatment of Steele’s information is the issue.”

    The only evidence of a lack of professionalism I’m aware of are some texts which the GOP takes out of context in an attempt to discredit the investigation, and in doing so, display a willingness to discredit the entire FBI and DOJ as institutions. And yet, immediately after learning of the texts, Mueller dropped the guy. Professionalism at work, Doctor.

    Here you try to discredit the investigation, as well as the entire FBI and the DOJ, and seemingly it’s only because of where the investigation might lead. I support the investigation, FBI and DOJ because I want to know what really happened, letting the chips fall where they may.

  33. 33

    11,
    actually, most of what you posted there either isn’t true, or can only be said to be true when larded with mountains of qualifying statements taking it well beyond your original context.
    Is that really your response?

    DOJ’s Mikerin source lied to the FBI about the extent of his criminal activities. Are you saying Steele is engaged in criminal activities and lied to the FBI about it? DOJ’s Mikerin source reported details about his criminal activities to the FBI that were in contradiction to facts already known to the FBI. Are you saying Steele’s report contains statements that are known to be false?

    I doubt Robert Mueller is developing his cases based upon either testimony from Michael Steele or any memos or reports from Michael Steele. But thanks at least in part to Michael Steele he probably has primary sources.

    Hey doc, if you’re really true to your hilariously named “notadumbfuck” investing method, i.e. do the opposite of what Roger Rabbit does, then sell Novartis for 84.83 and sell Unilever for 53.87 right now.

  37. 37

    @35 Why do you hate FBI agents for keeping tabs on Russians? Are you one of Putin’s sleeper agents? When did you come to the U.S.? Whose identity did you assume? Are you a real doctor or a poser like that Frank Abignale guy?

    It’s one way to determine what FBI/DOJ bias there may have been.

    Now you’re echoing Shortbus? Jesus that’s a helluva decline, even for a Trumpublican like you.

    We’ve been over this. Claims of bias are bullshit. Other than the text messages from agents reassigned and facing discipline there is nothing else to it. But so what if there were?

    You claim to be the kid of an LA prosecutor. Did he ever prosecute drug cases based at least in part on evidence arising from search of premise? Were the warrant apps based on sworn affidavits of criminal co-conspirators or rival drug dealers? You know it happens all the time. It does not constitute a fatal flaw to trigger exclusion. Law enforcement rely on bias to motivate cooperation. And as for the bias of the officers themselves? Are you fucking (Cough! Gorrillas in the Mist. Cough!) kidding us? If LE bias formed the basis for a fatally flawed warrant app you’d never get another warrant against another organized criminal ever again (much less against a racial minority).

    IRL the kind of legal challenge you are mounting here requires real evidence and real facts, not just allusions to “concerns”. And the proper venue comes in the form of a pre-trial challenge to exclude. So are you really concerned about the civil rights of a career Russian spy?

    @35 And why should they rise above the level of nothingburgers in regards to Mueller’s investigation? It is, after all, the investigation which is your target. You want it stopped because of where it might lead. There’s no other reason I can see.

  42. 42

    @34 Little bit of a slow day, before I leave a bit early, but work isn’t all that bad.

    @38 lol, that was a pretty good one Bob. But I wonder why they don’t just skip the ER visit for the extraction and just have someone fist them and go after that little gerbils.

    I fixed it for plural – I didn’t want to assume that only one gerbil would need be extracted.

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: The main point is Trump’s vetting process — if he has one — didn’t screen out this alleged wife beater. These incidents occurred years ago; these allegations aren’t new. Everything points to Trump and his chief of staff not caring about them.

    Why shouldn’t Cadet Bone Spurs put on a military parade?

    The Russians have their May Day, and the French have their Bastille Day. When he picks a date, Trump should declare it a national holiday and call it Capitalism Day or Billionaires Day.

    If the Russkies and Frogs have big parades for their proletariats, then Trump should do one for capitalism’s overlooked 1%, who make the stock market great.

    After all, America is a land where government of the rich, by the rich, and for the rich shall never perish as long as the lobbyists reign.

    Well, this should make some of you breathe a lot more easily.

    Gilead Sciences Inc.’s GILD, +3.41% once-a-day HIV regimen has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration, the company said Wednesday afternoon. The regimen, Biktarvy, is intended for HIV patients who are new to treatment and will cost $35,859, similar to other single-tablet HIV therapies, said Mizuho analyst Salim Syed. The approval happened a few days earlier than expected, and the safety label for the product is clean, he said. Biktarvy is expected to become a “gold standard” HIV regimen for patients new to treatment because it has a high barrier to resistance, no liver toxicity issues, few potential drug-drug interactions, a small pill size and a rapid start to therapy, said RBC Capital Markets analyst Brian Abrahams.

    Apparently there’s a budget deal.

    Apparently the Dreamers aren’t part of it.

    You know, I care far less about spending discipline now that I’m retired and YLB’s kids are about to enter the workforce. Load those little fuckers up with as much debt as they can manage. Then pile on a bit more, and a bit more after that.

    So if your neighbor has a name that sounds Arab-y, and looks like an Aa-rab, he must be a Moo-slem, right?

    First of all, I take it you don’t have kids of your own. If you did, they’d look like unicorns. But mainly, how can you as a Republican have less spending discipline now than you and your ilk ever did? In this context a number less than zero isn’t possible.

    Be careful with your in-sink garbage disposal. Fibrous veggies can get them plugged up in a New York minute. Lettuce is one of the biggest offenders. Just put that stuff in a recycle bucket, a compost heap or in the garbage.

    The market is flip-flopping around. I’ll sit tight and maybe make a buy when things are down a bunch for the day. I might even do a bit of selling in some of my portfolios if there’s a big run-up in one particular area of the market.

    The national debt is in excess of $20 trillion now. Its time to stop arguing who’s responsible and start moving towards paying it down. If interest rates tick up a bit later in the year (which is likely) we could be paying $500 billion a year just in interest charges to service the debt load. Interest is a dead weight on the budget because it does not accomplish anything except make us atone for past mistakes. It’s not like paying interest is some sort of Keynesian stimulus package or some supply side miracle for the economy. It’s just the charge for using debt, and we’ve been using too much debt in the last 20 years.

    Demorat Death March News – Smoking Gun – Carter Page Was A Demorat Agent, FISA Warrant Was A Hillary Campaign Scam

    Arrogant and stupid Demorats use a former Clinton official to infiltrate Trump campaign and set up the FISA Warrant

    Headline –
    BREAKING: Carter Page – The Linchpin to Deep State Spying on Trump – Was Member of Clinton Transition Team

    http://www.thegatewaypundit.co.....tion-team/

    Snip-
    Carter Page previously worked with the Clinton Administration transition team in 1992-1993 while serving as a Research Fellow on the House Armed Services Committee (HASC) on Capitol Hill. During his Fellowship, HASC Chairman Les Aspin was selected by President Clinton as the Secretary of Defense in December 1992. From May 1993 – December 1994, Carter went on to serve as the Arms Control Action Officer for Counterproliferation Policy in the Nuclear Affairs and International Negotiations Branch of the Navy Staff in the Pentagon.

  66. 66

    “paying it down”

    yeah let’s ask those that make like tons of money to contribute a couple of pennies….we’ll pay it off all right.

    I’ve been talking about the deficit since 2003 with a Conservative friend of mine (guy is a brain dead college wrestler and football player); he told me that deficits are good and that you don’t want the government to run a surplus. But he kind of changed his tune when the Black guy became President. And now he no longer cares again.

    We’re busted. It’s over, I tell you. The special kind of stupid @65 has outed our conspiracy against Trump which originated a quarter century ago. It started with the Clintons, of course, who groomed Carter Page in 1992-94 as a Manchurian Bozo to be unleashed on the world 25 years later. So nefarious and far seeing were the Clintons in their devious and dastardly plan to transform America into a nation where women wear pussyhats and black men kneel at NFL games, thus destroying the very fabric of our society and thwarting any attempts by the future President Orange Buffoon to Make America Great Again!

    He’s on to us. It’s over, guys.

  76. 76

    Thanks to the ceaseless tantrums of the Roypublican Man-Baby and the utter inability of the Roypublican Party Apparatchiks to appease him, the public now knows (1) that the DOJ and FBI applied for a warrant from the FISA Court for authorization to electronically surveil Page beginning on October 21, 2016, as well the purported grounds on which the government sought the warrant; (2) the FISA Court granted the DOJ and FBI’s application on October 21, 2016; (3) the DOJ and FBI thrice requested extensions from the FISA Court to continue surveilling Carter Page; and (4) the FISA Court thrice authorized continued surveillance of Carter Page.

    This is all in the public domain now thanks to politically motivated stunts from people like Devin Nunes, Charles Grassley, and Lindsey Graham carried out at the urging of the White House.

    Wanna know what else that means? It means there is scarcely any reason for the FISA Court to maintain classified seal on any related application materials under sec. 215. They have it within their authority as granted under the statute and in the public interest of transparency to either publish the warrant application materials, or to publish a public statement explaining the basis for the grant.

    Ooops.

    Carl there is no guarantee it will pass the house. Usually it’s the Senate that holds things up, but once something passes there it can be the house. And a bill has to make it out of committee.

    I think the challenge to the bill would come after passage and it being signed. It’s going to get challenged by the Catholic church as they are going to object to paying for abortion. Same with other religious folks who will bring suit.

    It may also invigorate opponents. And it’s subject to being repealed in a future legislative session.

    @32 Why do you support the FBI? Maybe the US would be better off without the FBI. There is no constitutional requirement for the FBI. Plenty to criticize about the FBI. And you probably don’t really know what the FBI does. After Prohibition was repealed perhaps the FBI should have been disbanded, but of course J Edgar got his agents into the drug war, to maintain his kingdom.
    The DOJ of course is necessary in order for the executive to perform the functions assigned to it.

And yes the requirement on Mueller was to investigate all possible collusion and interference in our election from any foreign government. That includes friends such as Great Britain.

  90. 90

    @39 Part of the problem here you are mixing what is intelligence information, and what is criminal. The Church committee findings revealed serious issues, and made recommendations that separated the two. That way intelligence could not be used in criminal matters. Investigators would have to get the information through other means. 911, the Patriot Act and time has weakened the separation of the two. That is a great deal of the current situation. This has now allowed a political party to use intelligence resources to track it’s political opponents, beyond what Richard Nixon, it was wrong when he did, and it’s just as wrong now. When done by a Democratic politician against a Republican. Or you all need to start to admit tricky Dick was right and was a great President, and knew what he was doing.

    96,
    Nunes has been conducting a separate and independent operation within the committee, under the direction of the White House since the naming of the Special Prosecutor last year. The primary purpose of that operation has been to use the committee investigative resources to discover as much as possible about what the Special Prosecutor has learned about the campaign’s criminal activities and what leads are being pursued. And then feed that intel back to the White House.

    Now at the end of the day every defense attorney knows that they get to see it all through discovery once a criminal indictment is filed. And to be fair there are legitimate reasons why a defense might want an early peek. But we all know what’s going on here. And this sure as fuck isn’t about preparing a legitimate criminal defense.

    Up to now, the risk for Nunes has been that if he or Republican staff under his supervision, cross certain statutory lines they might be charged with obstruction. So they’ve had to walk a careful line. A line that Nunes tip toed over last year when he performed his late night unmasking interpretive dance at the insistence of the Man-Baby. His recusal pantomime was enough to quell the ethics committee and provide cover for Sesh.

    But now it looks like Nunes and his Republican staff intend to get seriously busy. And they can’t have any minority staff around to see them reading stolen documents and suborning perjury.

    i see that Roger Dumfuck Rabbit’s recommended stock, GE, is faring nicely again.

    He recommended it and informed us it was one of his larger holdings back on the 20th of October, when it was at $23.81. It had risen that day and Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit inexplicably used that one-day upward move in the stock price as part of the basis for his recommendation.

    GE today?

    @101 The DJIA peaked at 26616 on Jan. 26 (intraday high, not close). It’s down about 8% from there. A moderate correction in the 10% – 12% range would take it down to 23422 – 23955, which corresponds closely to your and Herman’s estimates. A 15% correction would go farther down to 22624.

    I think we’ve seen the bulk of the decline, but what happens next depends a lot on what long-term interest rates do next (which are set in the bond market, as opposed to the Fed’s overnight discount rate, which isn’t the driver this time. The “Yellen put” is over, folks).

    The 10-year rate blowing through 2.7% is what started this whole thing, pushed by signs of rising inflation, and the bond market will continue to drive it.

    That’s really difficult to predict; the TY is bouncing around a lot right now. In addition, there’s a lot of volatility noise. Keep your eye on the ball; the TY is driving this, so ignore the volatility.

    Stocks were overdue for a correction. It doesn’t really matter what triggered it, but the bond market was the most likely trigger, and that’s what happened. Logic says the correction should slice the top off frothy valuations as rising bond yields compete for investment dollars. Fund flows give us some clues about this; a lot of money leaving stock funds and going into bond is a tell. But it’s more complicated than that. Once it was triggered, this correction began feeding on itself because of margin calls, short squeezes, etc. That makes it difficult to evaluate how far it’ll go.

    What we’re seeing right now looks like bottom bouncing, but 8% doesn’t seem like enough to wring out the excesses, so it could ooze lower over the next 2-3 weeks. Therefore 23600 seems like a good ballpark guess.

    I see it as possible that the DOW will start building a base of support at the 10% correction level. But it hasn’t even reached that yet, but I’m pretty sure it will. If it goes past that, the 200 day ma is next at 22,775. I believe if it goes below the 200 day ma, 18,000 is where it’s headed. That’s the nearest level of meaningful support to be found below the 200 day ma.

    The 13 day ma is really taking a dive. I’m watching for it to cross the 50 day ma. Or not. I’m certainly not seeing any “buy” signals yet.

    When some competitors outsource jobs to low wage places, all others follow suit.

    When some competitors draw good employees by offering better pay and perks, other competitors follow suit to keep from losing their people. It’s expensive to find and train replacements.

    Kind of basic.. If the economy was in recession, they wouldn’t be doing this. The tax scam just lessens the pain for corps.

    “The bottom line of this is that they protected an abuser, and guess what, it’s a job qualification to work in the White House, to protect someone who talked favorably about sexual assault on the Access Hollywood tapes,” she said. “That’s the job qualification in the White House.”

    “This is the same president who laughs along with Howard Stern when he says disgusting things about his daughter,” Carpenter continued. “I don’t know how people in the White House let this man date [communications director] Hope Hicks… They protect abusers. There’s no way of getting around it.”

Even if the stock becomes a penny stock holders still own 100 shares. As RR has pointed out buying over a long period of time and holding is the best strategy. Sure your stock gets kicked when it’s down, but on those great days it goes up you are right there. In any case you still got 100 shares of ownership in a company. Sometimes that is even enough where the leadership may listen to you.

    @103 This whole thing really is not a criminal case, it’s politics. To compare it to a criminal process with constitutional protections misses the point entirely. In the end it’s Congress that would have to impeach and then remove the President. While it’s clothed loosely as a trial process it’s not. It’s pure politics and is about the removal from office, and nothing more. Doesn’t even mean the President is even guilty of the charges that congress laid against him. It does mean after the removal the criminal process can start, and the former President can be charged, and found guilty or innocent. It’s entirely possible the person will be found completely innocent of the charges.
    The fact Trump has orange hair could be a high crime or misdemeanor if Congress says it is and Congress can remove him from office for that. This means it’s all politics.

    Though for real fun Michigan legislature could impeach the Democratic judges on the Michigan Supreme Court. That get to the truth of what impeachment is about, and why it’s so hard to do under the US Constitution.

    @169 Only by law he would not be able to give it to the VA. Which is a separate pot of money separate from the DOD. Sure there are costs involved in doing a parade in DC, yet relatively shifting it to the troops recreation would not buy a lot of ping pong tables. The Air Force fly by at the Superbowl probably cost more than any parade, though that would probably be part of any parade in DC. And if you all are so gung ho about this then maybe you should tell Seattle that the Blue Angels are not welcome come next Seafair. Any parade in Washington DC would be justified for the same reason the Blue Angels exist to give public exhibitions, and would come out of that pool of money. I doubt the price of any parade in DC would top a million, and DC would get stuck with a bill. The Blue Angels budget in 2011 was 37 million so the expense of a parade in Washington is not excessive. It can be justified to promote recruiting for the military. Letting the public see what it pays for.

    Record deficits.
    Record debt levels.
    And once again it’s those Republukins who done it, ya hillbillies.

    From Raj Shah’s first ever press briefing regarding Hope Hicks’ Wife Beater Boyfriend:
    “There weren’t any concerns that could compromise national security or interfere with operations here in the White House.”

    Then ten seconds later when asked about FBI concerns about Wife-Beater-Blackmail that prevented sec clearance he says:
    “I’m not gonna get into any specifics of the investigation itself.. This is not our process. This is the process the U.S. government uses across agencies and has existed over numerous administrations.”

    Starts by specifically commenting on the results of the background investigation. Then when confronted about the specifics of the background investigation he backpedals and points at a squirrel.

    This one’s going places.
    The finest people.

    I’m fine with canceling all the stupid stadium fly-overs and such, they serve no real purpose.

    The Blue Angels at least demonstrate tactical maneuvers aircraft capabilities. Stadium fly-overs do no such thing, except maybe the missing-man formation.

    The Daytona 500 is coming up, maybe they could put a target in the lake at the speedway and when they do a fly-over they could make it a bombing run, really give the crowd a show!

    During a parade by Trump, would the Armed Forces be able to demonstrate tactical maneuvers? Probably not. Like anyone needs to practice drill in large columns and to see tanks parade by with there barrels protruding like phallic symbols.

    I realize the VA and DOD come from different budgets, it it they optics that make it look bad. They kind find money to pay for Trumps tin-pot-dictator parade but can’t find money to fix the VA. Simply shameful.

    Better yet, they should spend the money on training so our ships stop hitting commercial shipping and running aground on reefs in the Pacific near China/Asia.

    I see what we are paying for all the time, just watch the news. Most of the wars going on are proxy wars for the military industrial complex, poor countries are the proving grounds we could never do at home.
