Market breath and macro environment is already bearish. I doubt anything would have been different if McCarthy remained speaker.
A budget will be eventually passed. If the budget is smaller, it should be helpful for bonds and equities. If the last rating agency lowers US credit quality a notch from its current highest rating, what effect would that have on US Treasury yields at this point?
I recently vacationed in the states with my teenagers to spend time with relatives and ex-military friends (a few of the states: Kentucky, South Dakota, Tennessee). We came across a lot of people like that dickhead ignorant guy in the video. Sadly, some of the congressional GOP members believe that shit too, or pretend to believe it in hopes it will bring in more votes. Seriously, people like that could put the next President (GOP) into the Oval Office. It made me think about my first girlfriend. She was Dutch (South Dakota) and had a bulge in her crotch only because she had a beautiful uncut hairy forest down there...very similar to the sexy teenage girls across the street when we moved to Illinois that every little boy on our street had a crush on. Yet, I will say it was a sexy look especially with her pubic hair sticking out the sides of her bikini and it was actually once a popular thing with young adult women in the South during the 70s to 80s. #nopersonalgrooming The album cover notably featured a close-up photo of the pelvic region of a woman wearing a U.S. flag thong with pubic hair showing at the top of the thong. The photo was taken from the cover of the July 1976 issue of Hustler magazine. The album with this cover was subsequently banned from chain stores like Walmart and Kmart, resulting in the cover being censored with a solid black background displaying only the thong. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amorica wrbtrader
Reminds me of some of the alt right blogs (Roissy aka Heartiste) I used to read during the GFC up until 2015. Some of the bloggers used to refer to Obama as the Gay Mulatto.
