Trump needs to release his taxes . Period . Releasing taxes will show another lie of his . Trump really wants to play around with
everyone's 401K and other investments ? Words matter Trump , does he want another melt down like at the end of Bush's term or worse ?

that would be just fine by him.

I can't believe the GOP is putting up with this... how morally bankrupt can they be?

The GOP is afraid of alienating their base, which is 100% pro Trump.
They are just going to the motions, but they are already preparing for a Hillary victory and on how to "Obama" her.

and if they had morals, they would tell their base the base is wrong by disavowing Trump.

But of course, they are the GOP, so morally bankrupt is pretty normal.

it's really strange to see the GOP in a "victim role", but tRump is actively destroying their party and they're in a really tough spot with what to do now. imho the healthiest thing for them to do would be for the RNC to disavow tRump and all he stands for, but they have no idea how to do that with their elected nominee. they're in a huge bind.

abandon tRump and piss off their base bigly, or let the tRumpFuckery continue and lose every national election for the next 20 years?

either way, this is why i've said his nomination signaled the death of the GOP. we're watching it squirm and wriggle around now, but it's pinned to the mat, partially through its own choices and inability to adapt. the M$M has the GOP on life support, because they're nervous about what comes next and how to cover it profitably, but in the end they know what's up too, they're just scared to talk about it.

Let's hope it is as dire for them as it seems.

despite everything. He's such a bizarre force and the media is being COMPLETELY irresponsible. Fuck.

try this thought experiment if you like:
1. in 2000 W got a lot of help from sympathetic media outlets
2. the 2000 election was exceedingly close, and W actually lost the popular vote
3. W got nearly half of the Hispanic vote in 2000 (well over 40%, like 45% iirc)
4. after the 2012 election, the GOP published a post-mortem in which their "best and brightest" concluded that they needed a strong minority outreach to remain viable in the context of changing demographics
5. (and this is the important part) how much of the Hispanic vote do you honestly believe Trump could win? (personally, i see his ceiling at around 30%, and ~20% is far more likely)
6. similarly with other minority demos, Trump underperforms Romney with Blacks, Asians, Women (not really a minority but face a lot of similar circumstances), people with college degrees, and LGBT. seriously. in some recent state polls of Ohio, Trump actually got 0% of the black vote. 0%. that's goddam amazing.
7. now ask yourself this: "what, outside of a massive terror attack in October and/or voter suppression on a previously unseen and unimagined scale, could turn this election around?"

consider: recent polls put Arizona and Georgia in play. HRC's campaign is actually buying ad time in Georgia. it's been a while since a presidential campaign ran ads in Georgia. if that's how the battleground has shifted, the GOP is in real trouble. which leads to
8. "which states that Obama won in 2012 can Trump possibly win in 2016?" cos he has to win a few of them, and right now President Obama is posting around 58% job approval.

in some ways, the Republican implosion really isn't all Trump's doing; it's partly a consequence of the gradual demographic shift that's coming over the country, and the GOP's staunch unwillingness to adapt accordingly. Trump is simply acting as a catalyst, speeding up a process that was already underway.

Don't get me wrong, we all need to stay active, contribute, and GOTV for this to play out optimally, but this time you can set your worries aside and operate from a position of strength

I just am appalled by the media attitude (granted it's not a monolith and some outlets are doing a good job), and their endless unhinged denigration and unfair treatment of Hillary, e.g., the Matt Lauer event last week.

to raise interest rates. The very rich are tired of not making more money on their money.

These low rates have inflated their assets massively if they are not in cash!

when the likelihood of a Fed increase rose on friday, the value of just about every single financial asset fell. Stocks, treasuries, corporates, high yield, foreign currencies, foreign stocks, foreign bonds, commodities - all down.

About the only things that didn't fall were the US dollar, the VIX and some Ag commodities.

People will lose confidence in financial markets if they think the Fed is making decisions based on political considerations.

Are we supposed to take his word for it?

LOL

for him and his family. If not for gaming the system, for the pure raiding of the U.S. Treasury, much like W did during his administration.

Take your government back. Vote for a democrat!

rates are good for business loans?

Even more horrifying that anyone would consider voting for this horror.
