Sadly, it maybe the only way. How many people has Trump ripped off over the past 50 years. How many lives has he destroyed. How many people would have suicided after being ripped off by Trump over the past 50 years. A bullet maybe too good for the Trumps. Problem is there's more gun tootin thoroughly bad people in the Republican camp than the Dems camp. So Biden might get targeted now.
I feel very sorry for this whole country. I really think this is all began in Charlotte I think that is where the violence began. Good people on both sides. Then the whole lock her up stuff that seeded a malevolent nature to the politics. And then of course the riot at Capitol Hill that equated violence with rooting for a political side. What are we left with? Too many 20 year -olds with AR-15's !! This is a gun that should only be sold to 40+ year olds. And I would prefer if it was not sold at all. The Dems are in a tough place. They are losing and they have to crank up the rhetoric - they have to use fear. Just as the other side uses fear on Mexicans and Immigrants. They are taking your jobs and killing your women... It is amusing to see the Republicans try and blame Biden for saying we have to target Trump. Joe did not mean it that way...But the bigger picture is the threat to Democracy. And that catchphrase could stir up trouble. The problem is.. what if it is correct? What if we all feel sorry for Trump and elect him and then he does just what he is predicted to do. Can we risk that? All that BS about replacing everyone who is democratic in Gov, making folks sign loyalty oaths and going after 300 or so enemies... What happens then?/// Very depressing. I despise Trump but I am surely glad he was not killed. It seems to me to be a terrible lapse in security but we'll wait for the official report.
How will the market react? // Those telling me it's too early to make decisions based on the politics have some egg on their face now...
It came to me-- Jackson Hole Wyoming is the town that I saw profiled with the local residents being priced out.///
Asia-Pacific News Japanese warship entered China’s waters near Taiwan despite warnings, domestic media reports Published Wed, Jul 10 202411:53 PM EDT Hello There! The Suzutsuki temporarily ventured into waters off China’s eastern province of Zhejiang on July 4 in spite of warnings by Chinese vessels. An investigation into the navy destroyer’s captain has been launched by Japan’s defense ministry. A Japanese maritime self-defense force destroyer entered Chinese territorial waters recently in spite of warnings by Chinese vessels, Kyodo News reported Thursday. The Suzutsuki temporarily ventured into waters off China’s eastern province of Zhejiang on July 4, according to Kyodo. China’s Maritime Safety Administration, Zhejiang authorities had issued a no-sail zone from July 3 to July 5 where a live-fire drill was conducted in some waters in the East China Sea. Japan’s defense ministry has started an investigation into the navy destroyer’s captain after Beijing raised “serious” concerns. The Suzutsuki, which was sent to monitor the live-fire drill, was asked by Chinese vessels to leave the area when it advanced within 22 kilometers off the coast of Zhejiang. Instead, the vessel “sped up and navigated” into the Chinese waters for about 20 minutes before leaving. The Chinese government considers the incident to be an act of “intentional provocation,” Kyodo News reported, citing sources. The destroyer did not adhere to Chinese laws that foreign vessels need to seek prior authorization to enter, the report said, adding that Japanese destroyers in charge of surveilling Chinese vessels usually keep away from territorial waters off Zhejiang. During unofficial talks between the parties, a Japanese official suggested that the entry could have been a “procedural error.” Japan is holding the position that the destroyer’s entry into Chinese waters was not illegal, Kyodo News reported. The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea grants the right of innocent passage to traverse through territorial waters so long as the vessel does not compromise the safety of coastal countries. China often sends its coast guard and military vessels into Japanese territorial waters near the disputed Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea. The uninhabited islands are controlled by Japan, but China claims them as its territory.
Right or wrong the perception is this event will help Trump in the polls. Certainly Wall Street will attach itself to Trump Trades sooner now... and we have a few already chosen... Other assets positively linked to the so-called Trump trade include the shares of energy firms, private prisons<-------
