The market is down 15% from its highs, 20% would be a Bear market.
Many stocks like Apple, Amazon, Facebook, Netflix, Google are all in a bear market territory.

Tech is what lead the way to the top and is now leading the way down,

I would bet that is the very first time in his life he every touched a pitch fork, a straw hat and put on a pair of overalls.

You can tell he never actually raked a yard with that rake the forest stuff. I don't do it nowadays, have a lawn crew but after that hurricane last year, I did. It takes awhile.

That GoFundMe is now trending, on CNN, the other networks, up to 7 million:

We're in the hype stage, where the bulk of the donations will come in. Then it will die down. So now is the time to get that number up.

Glad to see the pull out of Syria. The only thing is with all the new "refugee-fake-immigrants" from ME that the liberals will fight in the 9th circuit to allow into the states. Good luck with that.

The US doesn't really need to be in Syria anymore. The Russians have much more influence there and it's mostly thanks to them that ISIS has been weakened. ISIS, just like Al Qaeda, Al Shebab, Boko Haram, as well as other terrorist organizations, will never be totally destroyed.

The US should also leave Afghanistan. They are just wasting human lives and money on a backward society that doesn't really care about democracy and mostly hates America and the West.

Just let them kill each other off, I say, but first lets send all the lazy, blood sucking, freeloading, illegal invaders back to their sh*t holes and if possible send the "Refugees are Welcome" liberal jackasses, along with them.

Build that fu*king wall Trump!

Ain't ever gonna happen.

Yep, they flat out don't have the votes. They need the Dems. Looks like they finally developed a spine, in the past they would fold too often it seemed like.

He just threw up another video - https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1075870519046610945

Democrats, it is time to come together and put the SAFETY of the AMERICAN PEOPLE before POLITICS. Border security must become a #1 priority!

He doesn't get it, no wall.

Looks like Mattis is going as well:

General Jim Mattis will be retiring, with distinction, at the end of February, after having served my Administration as Secretary of Defense for the past two years. During Jim’s tenure, tremendous progress has been made, especially with respect to the purchase of new fighting....

....equipment. General Mattis was a great help to me in getting allies and other countries to pay their share of military obligations. A new Secretary of Defense will be named shortly. I greatly thank Jim for his service!

If there are 30,000 Isis remaining, then that is about as many as there were a couple of years ago, damn

With the amount of gangs we have in the US , I would venture to bet we far exceed 30,000 , so we actually could have a bigger problem in our country as opposed to Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria combined. f*cking incredible

Maybe Trump should send the American Gangs over to Syria to fight the remaining ISIS trash. After they kill themselves off this may solve the Gangs and ISIS problem in one go!

Never say Never... I mean, "Ain't ever"

No there’s an idea! And it would take care of both problems.


I am pulling my money from a 401k I had built up with a long time employer.I see similar forecasts to the last recession, I lost 7k in investments last time, had a friend that lost 30k, not gonna happen this time.

General Mattis didn’t just up and decide to retire, not while we are still deep into wars. There is far more to his decision to retire, I guess we will find out in due time

Arizona.

No problema hombre... the Gringos will clean it!!!

I know what happened there,

Mattis Resigns as Defense Chief, Citing Differences With Trump
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/poli...ief-citing-differences-with-trump/ar-BBReYyY?

Reading this now. Here is his resignation letter:

https://assets.bwbx.io/documents/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/r1s3MmEom1_8/v0

Damn, he basically says, why don't you go and get a Secretary of Defense that shares the same views as you do. He doesn't want any more part of this Shit Show. What a mess.

He actually said this last month:
Trump insists White House is running smoothly, bashes media

haha, I'm watching this quack Stephen Miller on CNN trying to spin all this. It seems like he's trying to stop himself from breaking out laughing, he doesn't believe any of this stuff he's spouting. He's just happy to have a job. It's like a bad movie, except it's really happening.

Mattis was basically the last "Sane" person in the Trump administration.

It's all "C" and "D" lemmings now

 

[offthehandle]

The US should also leave Afghanistan.

Govt shutdown looming. Great news if no wall funding. I figured Trump would cave in yesterday.

Afghanistan withdrawal looming just announced. Let the all the shitholes in ME implode. Russia failed there years ago, no way to win by chasing after a bunch of guerilla terrorists who actually sleep in dirt floor caves, create IED’s, etc. it was sad, so many lives damaged or lost. Lock up borders, ban all “tourism” flights to USA from these ME countries, screen all visa requests from ME business travel, etc.

A huge salute and honor goes to all the veterans and troops who served in these horrible wars under shithead politicians bad decisions.

CBS reports gofundme Wall fund at $7,000,000. Now donated for the Campaign started by the Combat Veteran who started it.

WOW! I hadn’t read any such thing, that is huge coming from a 4 star General.

Do you have any opinion on all the investigations going on as far as if President Trump may resign or a possible sealed indictment???

My understanding is, they can not arrest the president while in office, and if impeached, the president does not have to step down, that is my understanding of it all

I think we'll probably get his personal taxes, and he'll get beat bad next election. Don't know about the other stuff. I think they could impeach him but some might be worried about political implications. We shall see, 2019, with Dems running the House, it's going to get even worse. That, all the investigations, the Mueller investigation should wrap up.

These Generals are used to certain protocals, and ways of diplomacy. Trump doesnt follow any such structured, traditional role. Trump obviously is hard to work for, especially if you are a career govt employee. He leaves it sounds like on a good note. No surprises.

You read that resignation as leaving on a good note? Or am I reading that wrong?
