Now correlate those trades with specific announcements that caused market swings.

The last guys that had to deal with these kinds of traitors, left us with a great tool to deal with this exact situation, called the 14th Amendment/ Section 3:

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

This perfectly describes Trump, and every person who gave speeches at the pre-Insurrection rally, as well as anyone who amplified the Big Lie that the 2020 election was stolen, which was the premise for the Insurrection.

All it would have taken was a Biden Administration courageous enough to use the exact words in the Constitution to protect us from the resurrection of MAGA. If Lincoln could have seen that, he would have been screaming: "Why the fuck do you think we went to the trouble of amending the fucking Constitution? To keep traitors like these assholes from taking over again, you dopey dipshits!"

Anybody who says they believe in this dopey mythology is either an idiot, or a liar.

Trump probably thinks he's being James Bond. If it WAS in English, it would have been deliberate misinformation, and Trump would be dumb enough to act on it.

I support all Unions, and all strikes. I don't even care why.

Can't take no chances. Better safe than sorry.

There were a bunch of compromises, but a lot of the budget closures came from cleaning up corrupt nonsense from past mayors, state obligations that governors had pawned off on the city, and the tax on wealthy second homes.

It isn't the perfect situation to be in, but it's a whole lot better than anything they've had before, and it can technically be called a balanced budget, something nobody else could pull off. And best of all, they did it without raising taxes on the people, or cutting services, something the wealthy insisted was impossible.

A Balanced Budget is the first step, and now that the city is on somewhat solid footing, it can use future tax revenues to shore up their position even better, address some the compromises they had to make, and build on their successes.

Or we can just invent all kinds of fantasies why the Socialist mayor's obvious successes are really failures.

I bet she demands wild sex all the time, too.

I used to believe that we needed to add 4 more SCOTUS seats, but I no longer believe that. Now I think we should add 20 more SCOTUS seats.

The distribution of the court shouldn't be so tight that one bad faith president can negatively influence policy for the next half century. We need a court that's too big to game with a few seats, along with term limits, and rolling election dates. That way, every president gets to appoint a few, but not enough to distort the results.

I just say I'm a "standard-issue white guy," and people know what that means.
