The stock market panic is pretty funny, everyone is acting like the correction is a crash... Poor unintelligibles are trying to somehow relate/blame the drop to political scurry but don't know the difference lol

Just what do you think you're doing?! You dare to come between me and my prey? Is it a habit of yours to scurry about, getting in the way and causing bother?

 

What are you still bothering me for? I'm a Knight. I'm not interested in your childish games. I need my rest.

 

Begone! Lest I draw my nail...

A crash would be something more akin to the 22% drop that happened in the 1980's, this one as a percentage was only like 4%. Certainly looks dramatic compared to the constant upwards movement that the stocks have been going in for a while.

Yep, exactly!

 

It's just funny how the panic spread so quickly yesterday, the interruption of the tax reform speech in order to cover the stock drop. Instantly, people questioned the economic growth and success because of the drop. Of course these are people who have no business knowledge so it just tickled me a bit is all.

 

I mean, with more and more knowledge of the stock drive, a reset is normal and certainly was due so it (in hindsight) will only support the acknowledgement of economic success, as corrections are daunted upon resets - as has always been cased in history of Wall Street's stock trade.

Joys of a 24 hours news cycle.  Local news here was pretty calm about it, said they can't call it either way after just 2 days.

4% drop is clear indication that investors don't believe that current economic measures will bring growth at least on short-term view, so they are shorting stocks. Which is not best development for Trump and GOP who marketed their tax cuts to bring economical growth, as markets are betting opposite effect, even though stocks it is probable that stock will soon turn back to growth after prices have drop enough for shorters to start buy stocks again, such drop will most likely reflect badly on GOP's claims about economical growth which isn't necessary thing that you want to happen during election year.

Are we sure this isn't what the GOP want? There is a lot of profit to be made by shorting stocks, dipping the market and buying low. I'm sure there are people who saw this coming and have been offloading for a while now. Some people really love recessions.

Trump likes veterans who didn't lose their legs in the line of duty.

How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart.

In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

Most likely there are republicans who are happy about this turn of the events, but members of GOP in congress and Trump have parroted narrative about how stock market growth shows what economy growing under their leadership and for said narrative big stock market drops isn't best turn of the events.

If someone hadn't incessantly bragged about record-breaking stock markets this would hardly even be news.

I like that excuse, let's protect our international reputation by limiting what our own citizens can say

not that I agree with any censorship, but most EU states have some hate speech laws, not sure how this one is different

I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiene"

And we don't give those countries any credit for limiting their free speech either

 

To say it's to protect their own image is a weak argument 

 

Also, is it hate speech to say that some Poles may have sided with the Nazis? That doesn't mean all of Poland is complicit.

I have a hard time believing Paul Ryan would tweet that out. That would be tremendously tone deaf. $1.50 a week is a pittance.

Well I'm trying to avoid putting political related jokes in the funny things thread to keep politics out of one place. ;)
