I can't believe I'm saying this, but it looks like Trump is actually making America great again. Just look at the progress made since the election: 1. Unprecedented levels of ongoing civic engagement. 2. Millions of Americans now know who their state and federal representatives are without having to google. 3. Millions of Americans are exercising more. They're holding signs and marching every week. 4. Alec Baldwin is great again. Everyone's forgotten he's kind of a jerk.... 5. The Postal Service is enjoying the influx cash due to stamps purchased by millions of people for letter and postcard campaigns. 6. Likewise, the pharmaceutical industry is enjoying record growth in sales of anti-depressants. 7. Millions of Americans now know how to call their elected officials and know exactly what to say to be effective. 8. Footage of town hall meetings is now entertaining. 9. Tens of millions of people are now correctly spelling words like emoluments, narcissist, fascist, misogynist, holocaust and cognitive dissonance. 10. Everyone knows more about the rise of Hitler than they did last year. 11. Everyone knows more about legislation, branches of power and how checks and balances work. 12. Marginalized groups are experiencing a surge in white allies. 13. White people in record numbers have just learned that racism is not dead. (See #6) 14. White people in record numbers also finally understand that Obamacare IS the Affordable Care Act. 15. Stephen Colbert's "Late Night" finally gained the elusive #1 spot in late night talk shows, and Seth Meyers is finding his footing as today's Jon Stewart. 16. "Mike Pence" has donated millions of dollars to Planned Parenthood since Nov. 9th. 17. Melissa FREAKING McCarthy. 18. Travel ban protesters put $24 million into ACLU coffers in just 48 hours, enabling them to hire 200 more attorneys. Lawyers are now heroes. 19. As people seek veracity in their news sources, respected news outlets are happily reporting a substantial increase in subscriptions, a boon to a struggling industry vital to our democracy. 20. Live streaming court cases and congressional sessions are now as popular as the Kardashians. 21. Massive cleanup of facebook friend lists. 22. People are reading classic literature again. Sales of George Orwell's "1984" increased by 10,000% after the inauguration. (Yes, that is true. 10,000%. 9th grade Lit teachers all over the country are now rock stars.) 23. More than ever before, Americans are aware that education is important. Like, super important. 24. Now, more than anytime in history, everyone believes that anyone can be President. Seriously, anyone. | ||

Hey, even Hitler was good for the Economy . Grizz Indeed, no human being has yet lived under conditions which, considering the prevailing climates of the past, can be regarded as normal. John E Pfeiffer, The Emergence of Man Those who can't skin, can hold a leg. Abraham Lincoln Only one war at a time. Abe Again. | |||

Grizzly,you are right. Not glorifying Hitler by any means but he did wonders for the economy after the Weimer debacle;partly by decaring all the past adminisrations debts null + void + not to be paid (I kinda like that one). Besides my Tante Rita in Nurmburg once told me that when he was in there was NO crime (unless you were a certain group of people,but I did'nt tell her that).She claimed at that time any little old lady could walk the darkest alleys with no fear.The average German citizen appreciated that change.(just kept the blinders on about the others). Never mistake motion for action. | |||

Don't see any vitriol here, just about anything motivates economic activity and some one makes a buck. Just watched a net flix documentary on Prohibition, now that really stimulated the economy. Corrupt politicians on both sides abetted and profited off the illegal liquor business.

Trump is gold. S&P 500’s on the path to a projected target of 2,300 is a real game changer. | |||
