  1. Panic-y Trump is the most genuine Trump. All of the bad news coming in on the economy gives him some cover for the bad news coming in about the department of defense abortion. I expect some huge tantrum today to try to change the headlines to something else. Trump announces his plans to rename Greenland ‘East Virginia’, thereby balancing out the state!”
  2. In the spirit of the times, if I’m Pope Larry, I am bringing back the sale of indulgences in a bigly way
  3. I think that during the Avignon Babylonian Captivity we had three Popes at once. Maybe we could try that.
  4. China and it’s very subtle “if you do what Trump wants and it hurts China, we are going after your ass” comment might be adding to the JPow threat concern in the market. I have no idea how to parse all of this out. (yeah, that quote is not an actual quote)
  5. Flag at half mast for Pope is worth a red live update headline, unlike the thousand point Dow drop. And the libs at Forbes are just making people upset for no particular reason.
  6. Then why, when you threw a rock on J6, did it bounce off 5 ex-military guys?
  7. Someone needs to do the Aggy roller coaster: “Nobel peace prize talk”, “Biggly DJIA increase” “ Early tariff talk setback”, “Clap-on, Clap-off tariff promise” “JPow threats”
  8. Man, they are really gonna be pissed at Joe Biden in about two weeks when they finally look at their 401(k).
  9. Down 1,102. So. Much. Winning.
  10. Dow is down 888 right now
  11. I, for one, welcome our new Saurian Theological Overlords
  12. I can’t imagine any negative views about an organization that would reward and shelter Cardinal Law. Amirite??!! Just like you are one united universal Catholic Church when it’s time to get your percent of the local tithes, but when it’s time to pay the judgments for the sex abuse you just have the parish go bankrupt - because now Rome has nothing to do with those people or their finances. Seems pretty Jesus-y to me.
  13. Far more likely that Trump will accidentally stumble upon Henry VIII, declare Stephen Miller the new American Pope, who will then sanction his divorcing Melania and allow him dispensation to marry Ivanka. Plus, he will get to sell all the church lands and distribute them to his oligarchs.
  14. That was clear as mud, but I agree with you. I was only talking about churches in the US subject to our tax laws
  15. You may be a Roy Cohn clone, but you are our Roy Cohn clone. BTW - how are all the markets whose indices I do not understand doing today? All up I guess…
  16. I’d settle for being able to tax the property of churches. They don’t need to be dissolved, they just need to pay their fair share by statute - ‘cause they sure won’t do it voluntarily. I’m not talking Catholics, I’m talking to everybody - the Joel Osteens and Billy Bob little church of the woods.
  17. I just saw on Bloomberg Asia that China has announced that other countries had better be careful and not enter into trade deals with the United States that have negative effects on China. 🇨🇳 To their peril, I assume. Just another day and free trade paradise
  18. Bespoke Warehouse?
  19. Ana is correct. He knows more about the DJI than I do. Lots, i’m sure. His big brain missed that I was not responding in any way to a post about the DJI granular influences. I should’ve said “I think we’ll be eating the shit sandwich sooner than we thought” and let it go at that. I have a friend who exports construction material and finished goods like cabinets to the Caribbean. A good start to the year in his growing business resulted in a complete shutdown of orders and cancellation of others because of the tariff crap. I see the volume of domestic freight reducing. I see my neighbors and friends and family and colleagues acting defensively in all things financial, either buying cars before the tariffs or putting off buying until after things settle down. I know people canceling vacations to Europe. It seems like everyone I know is getting out of equities. I might be completely wrong, but it seems like a whole lot of intelligent people are whistling past the graveyard regarding the inevitable. If Anna wants to continue stonking I wish him luck. I’m sure with the manipulator-in- chief in charge there will be opportunities for those with sufficient perspicacity, but that is not me.
  20. No, mostly informing me that Trump won the election and that I needed to get over it. And one comment about “Black Lives Matter winding up in body bags if they rioted again.” Essentially what you’d expect.
  21. There’s lots of articles about leopards eating faces, but there seems to be a large number of them originating in Pennsylvania. Damn shame.
  22. Other than the Braves winning in late innings, I had a fantastic time at Steinbrenner watching the Rays last Saturday. It was a beautiful day in Tampa and my buddy threw out the first pitch.
