This week's news cycle is loving killing my index funds.

Investors are mad that Trump isn't going to be able to bring us back to the Gilded Age.

I'm mostly in tech stocks, so they're doing fine, but my mutual funds definitely took a hit.

Its not really that crazy. The only way that this can pass via simple majority in the senate is via reconciliation. The senate cannot pass a bill via this means if it's got a negative CBO score. Ryan is just waiting to see the score monday and preemptively adjust the bill so they don't have to vote again after the senate does. It'll probably pass again in whatever horrid form the senate needs to pass it.

I'm not sure if this is about the confirmation that Rosenstein knew about the Comey firing before he wrote the memo or if there's something else coming. It's not the DANGER ZONE of news, 5pm-6pm.

We're halfway through the hour and this feels like it's going to be a normal Thursday and nothing big is going to drop.

There's video exposed of how Erdogan's goons fighting the peaceful protestors were literally part of Erdogan's detail and he was watching the fight, but that's not earthshattering.

Erdogan is a gigantic piece of poo poo? Who knew??

So he basically just unleashed his detail onto protesters (who are American turks?) and they all get away scot-free?

I kinda wonder if it was autoerotic asphyxiation. I don't know what his marriage is like, but he has two daughters who are just 12 and 16. Seems like a strange thing for a dad to off himself with two kids that young.

It was a fun book with a neat style to it (John Hackett and Sterkel) but :lol: Brooks was really big into using tropes for different countries.
