Posts: 5483[QUOTE=CaliGuy;2646844]I am a financial advisor for a major firm in San Diego. Our firm does not give any Credit to the current administration for increased market prices. In fact it rarely gives credit for good or bad in the market to any administration. The market increased dramatically in 2017, 2018 and 2029 when Trump reversed a lot of Obama regulations especially for energy industry and financial industry. By end of 2019 China virus hit the world and business stopped in USA and the world. After a bleak 2020 and 3 vaccines hitting consumers in late 2020 it was expected that the market would stabilize and return to the gains made from 2017-2019 and it did. Since the new virus is less deadly than the last the market is stable. No credit is given to current administration. With the BBB virtually non existent now and Biden facing an election year our firm is expecting stable market. Most of my clients are 401 k and retirement funds so last 5 years have been extremely good. Once Biden tried destroying the oil industry we saw an increased opportunity for our clients in oil stocks once the administration drove down production and drove up oil and gas prices. Our average return on the energy side for oil was 68 per cent. For the wealthy and middle class who funded their 401 K to the max 2021 was a good year. It is an election year and the democrats are going to try to jam some socialist program or green program through but we do not expect that to happen. Expect a slight correction in March when feds raise interest rates for first time in years. /QUOTE]Really, this post is such a cornucopia of delights, I can't resist another reply. LOL.
Aside from his historic 2018 CDC defunding disaster and his incomparable contributions to creating Trump's Pandemic in the first place, you do remember that Trump's lamebrained policies slammed the USA Manufacturing and Agro sector, right? Gee, we're all happy that he further subsidized the oil and energy sectors. Those poor dears need all the additional subsidies and corporate welfare they can get.
Meanwhile, thanks to his zero gain trade war against China, Trump had to send more Socialist welfare checks to USA Farmers just to keep them afloat:
Administration announces $12 billion in aid to farmers hurt by Trump's trade war.
The president tweeted on Tuesday that "Tariffs are the greatest!" Farmers don't think so.
July 6, 2018.

And he drove the USA Manufacturing sector directly into Recession:

Yep, all pre Trump's Pandemic, Mr. Financial Advisor.

The broad USA Stock Market as quite accurately represented by the S&P 500 Index was down -4. 38% in 2018. There was a broadly based Bear Market Decline (20%) in December of that year. Did you not notice it? Or remember it?
They are in particular big trouble if you were advising them to invest just as large and enthusiastically during any previous Repub administration as the Dem administrations, which means they have not dodged but ridden every Great Repub Bear Market Crash to the very dead bottom and gained almost nothing but anxiety by the time the next Dem administration came in to recover it.

That's probably the year Kamala gets inaugurated.
For her first or second term.

"The fact that you and many so-called conservatives don't care about January 6th is what is really concerning. When was finding out who organized and funded the January 6th assault on our free elections a petty partisan exercise to be disparaged by virtually every elected Congressional Republican?" Come on. "Everyone knows" that it was a false flag operation organized by the FBI. Tucker said so, so it must be true!

The only person killed inside the Capitol that day would not have been killed if she had stayed home. Instead, she forcibly and illegally tried to enter the barricaded Speaker's lobby. I thought Republicans believed that "actions have consequences". Or does that only apply to black people, LGBTQ persons, etc?
G. O. A. T? ROFL. Undoubtedly, though, the G. G. O. A. T. Greatest Grifter Of All Time.
Oligarchs stole the election? How? By having Chinese thermostats change votes? Every one of Donnie's 60+ lawsuits failed. Why? Lack of evidence.
Think about this for a minute. Here's what the cult believes! Voters can't be trusted. The voting process can't be trusted. Local election officials can't be trusted. County election officials can't be trusted. State election officials can't be trusted. Local judges can't be trusted. State judges can't be trusted. State Supreme Courts can't be trusted. Federal Circuit Court judges can't be trusted. Federal Appellate Court judges can't be trusted. The Supreme Court can't be trusted. The only person who can be trusted is Donald Trump. If you need more than the time it took to read the above to realize how appallingly stupid it sounds, you are part of the problem.
Like I said earlier, if Donnie runs again, he could lose the EC by 538-0 and you cultists will still crown him king.

Oh, BTW, court documents, video evidence and news coverage show that some of Trump's rioters were armed with guns, many later seized by the police.
This was a mob of idiot Trumpsters intent upon stopping an Electoral College count submission and, if necessary, killing a few cops and elected officials along the way. That is still an Insurrection. They were not prepared and organized enough to represent an anti-America military force capable of running the American government for so much as a single hour.
This time.

Just to measure you're grip on reality.
Do you believe that Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election?

General Election 2016 RealClearPolitics Average: Clinton +3.2%.
Final Results: Clinton +2.1%

General Election 2020 RealClearPolitics Average: Biden +7.2%
Final Results: Biden +4.5%

When you look at the consensus of polls for the Electoral Map Results in 2020, they were even more amazingly accurate. Simply switch the very close states of Florida and Georgia and they got it 100% right:
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/ep..._toss_ups.html
The people who still cling to this idea that "the polls" were wrong in 2020 are apparently the suckers that Team Trump and the Repubs were targeting to fall for that crap during the brief window between election night and several days later when all the ballots were counted including the record number and percentage of mail-in ballots submitted in the midst of Trump's Pandemic.
LOL. That was the whole purpose in Repubs preventing all those mail-in ballots from being counted prior to election night and in some cases even on election night in all those states with Repub legislatures; to allow for a few days' delay in producing the final true results wherein Trump could work his con magic to sucker his cult followers and rubes into accepting his Big Lie about the election being stolen from him.
And that was the basis for his and Team Trump's plans to overthrow American democracy legally or illegally, by hook or by crook over the next couple of months and, failing that, which they did, to incite a violent Insurrection to prevent the peaceful transfer of power no later than the day those Electoral Votes would be formally recorded on January 6, 2021. Which is exactly why January 6 was definitely not a matter of just a few radical nuts getting out of control. Nope. They were Trumpsters, Repub cult followers, being prepared, primed and controlled by Trump to do exactly what they did on his behalf going back to at least November 3 and technically even earlier than that.
