It seems like there’s a crying need for a forum to vent and fume over the latest outrage the Circus Peanut in Chief has committed; but Elections doesn’t seem appropriate any longer. Should we start an equivalent of the never-ending SRIOTD, here in the Pit? ---

I know people are too scared to say it but I have bravery and big brass balls so I’ll say it for the weaklings. Trump is worster than Hitler. ---

Among progressive types that I have encountered there are three schools of thought about trump: 1. That his will be a bad presidency in the normal range of bad presidencies. 2: That his will be a bad presidency of “unpresidented” proportions. 3. That his will be a bad presidency of biblical proportions. (Old testament, wrath of God stuff.) Some seriously postulate him as the second coming of Hitler. Me, I’m more of an optimist. I think he’s the second coming of Warren G. Harding and/or Herbert Hoover. Republicans have not had this much of a lock on governmental power since, one source said, 1926. Less that three years later, October 1929. Seriously, I urge everybody, particularly older folks like myself, to contact your money guy (or gal) and see about “trump-proofing” your portfolio. You may “miss out” on a tremendous upswing, but you might also miss out on having to cook squirrel meat over an oil drum fire. ---

I have liquified my entire portfolio, and bought beer. ---
