Take it to the election thread.

Better yet, can we just have a Capp's Special Spam Thread to contain it all there?
You could have responded to the post here by going over there and doing a copy/paste. It's not just about everyone doing what you want them to do. Actions speak louder than words.

I will at least be amused if Cocaine Mitch demands a confirmation before the election.

The economy's going down during his campaign, probably with the help of Dems. Trump's spin will be that they did it just to win an election. It's a good bit.
No it's not, it's damage control. The Dems might be so incompetent they can't take advantage of it, but the economy in the shitter doesn't help Trump at all.
Of course, it's not good for Trump, which is why it's too good an opportunity for Dems so they'll do what they can to make it happen. Trump will say they did it on purpose. Trumpers agree (me), so he's not losing any of us. All he needs is the deflection; it's not like there's anybody decent running against him.

p.s. It was going to happen on this president's watch, whoever it was. Trump just extended the deadline.

Trump needs swing voters, not just his base, and a lot of swing voters won't buy it, which opens up the door for the Democrats to have a chance of beating him, instead of having no chance of beating him. The Dems only hope is a recession.

Literally everybody expects the democrats and the bankers to wreck the economy to get at Trump. Trump is right now accusing the Federal Reserve Chairman of doing just that with the interbank loan rate, and Trump has a good case. Meanwhile democrats have been openly pressing for an economic recession, even praying for it on television, so they can defeat Trump.

You can't pin a recession on Trump. If anything, the guy staved off the recession for a while by propping up the labor markets.

Furthermore, this trade war with China really fucked up the plan to induce a recession because if China goes back into a recession, we are booming.

It's just not an election factor. Would it be bad for the American people. Yep. Bad for Trump's election chances? Not really. Trump's "We need millions more Mexicans because the economy is so good" did more damage to him than a recession ever would.

I'm going to call it the "Trump Pump."

This bubble's gonna fucking hurt, man.

Ask Zlaxer how the real estate market is looking in CT currently. Then take stock of the PNW. It's the same devil's potion brewing up.

Zombie companies aren't going to withstand much of an interest-rate bullet to the head.

The problem with the interest rate situation is the opposite of what I mentioned about the oil prices leading up to the Gulf War. Leading into that war, oil prices ticked up slowly. It was an openly planned war with a timeline and everything. Bush repeated the timeline thing for the same reason.

This is a few days after Rock the Casbah was playing over Baghdad:
The world of oil defied expectations on the second day of the Persian Gulf War.

Oil prices crashed Thursday in their biggest one-day fall. Oil companies froze or lowered wholesale gasoline prices. Lines failed to appear at service stations. And oil supplies remained ample.

One day after the United States and it allies launched a massive attack on Iraq, oil prices in New York plunged an unprecedented $10.56 a barrel to $21.44--a dime below its price on Aug. 1, the day before Iraq invaded Kuwait. The free fall confounded predictions that a war would cause oil prices to soar as high as $60 a barrel.

Everybody knew it was coming and just planned for it. The speculators did what capps foolishly does here: believe the media narrative and bet on the narrative being real. Then the war happened and they realized it wasn't happen, and the bottom fell out from beneath them.

If the Federal Reserve just laid out a working plan for how interest rates will ramp back up, it would just get priced into the markets over time without the sudden corrections.

This is why media junkies like Capps are so God damned wrong always. They are living in a fictional world spun by television actors.
