Pam, the Dow is at 48,850 as I type this.

It's not over 50,000 anymore.

And Pam, it's not expressed as 50,000 DOLLARS. It's an index number, not money.

As attorney general, you should know that, Pam.

Which is, of course, not at all!

Her sole job is to carry water for Trump and kiss his ass.

5. The Big Lie about the markets

Since Trump took office, the DOW is up 9.7%, that's solid for these last 13 months, just below average/

Yeah that's right, the last 30 years, the average return is 10.4% a year. So this "greatest market ever" is below average.

This just doesn't get questioned in the media. They let them make ridiculous claims about the markets that are clearly untrue. And it even filters to here where posters will say things like, "All he has is that great stock market..."

I know this isn't the biggest takeaway, but Pam Bondi claiming that Dow is at "over 50,000 dollars" is pretty funny, as it shows how ignorant she is. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is indexed. The 50,000 doesn't represent dollars. And if I did, the entire Dow couldn't afford a single Land Rover.

She is stating that pedophilia can be excused if the economy is doing well?

And if the economy was bad, we should discussing pedophilia?

What a sick individual.

That always end up destroying our economy. When companies start losing money because consumers aren’t buying or using goods and can’t afford services because of the layoffs due to AI and natural disasters due to global warming the $hit is going to hit the fan and drag the markets down.

and is likely in anticipation of Fatso doing something monumentally stupid against Iran.

The problem is that the Shiller ratio has been in crash territory for months. Whether another Middle East quagmire will provide the nudge to push the market over the edge is anyone's guess. My own gut says there is still a lot of available cash that can be used to shore up a shaky market but sometimes a gut is just a gut so don't make any bets based on mine.

... and depressing how often a pretty face hides a blackened and shriveled heart. Bondi is soulless sociopath, utterly devoid of any redeeming qualities whatsoever.
I so wish there really was a Hell, so I could savor the schadenfreude of knowing she would boil in it for all eternity.

to respond at her Congressional hearing - OMG!
It looked like a 'frat brother' who had spent the night boozing prior to his 'Orals' for his degree!

In her mind . "What can I say now to SLAM them and let them know how smart I really are!"

Yeah - she failed - bigly!
