Here is a prediction.

If the republicans keep the house the stock market will go up.

Main street needs the stock market to go up.

My prediction is that my supply of give-a-shits was completely exhausted some time back.

Looks like I'm not alone.

Confirmed.    

Sadly interesting how things have changed here since 2012.  The Politics section was pretty damn lit from about 2004 up to the 2012 election.  Rollicking and contentious but with a lot of legitimate argument and debate and a whole bunch of contributors on both sides of stuff.  And a lot of fun.  Completely evaporated after BO's re-election.

Facebook stock peaked at $217.50 and now it is $144.22

a bargain.

I predict Facebook will innovate itself to a better future.

The following is an example of my sarcasm directed toward the liberals.

A long comprehensive investigation is necessary to seek

the truth about how Russia was able to interfere with

the midterm elections and install a majority of democrats

back in the house.

Since I'm here, here's a short list of some of the long-departed folks who were a big part of making this place so much fun, in random order:

• Kingbee
• TexasWahini
• Tova7
• Myrrander
• Mumblefratz
• Gene Nash
• Jill User
• Dabe
• Blogic
• DrMiler
• Moderateman
• BakerStreet
• ParaTed2K
• Dr Guy
• Paladin77
• San Chochino
• Bahu Virupaksha
• Col Gene
• Taltamir
• Stevendedalus
• Lulapilgrim
• BoobzTwo
• Jafo (even)(though hardly departed, long or otherwise, except for his mind)

Does Big Tech lean liberal? Some would say yes.

Are the people who run Big Tech extremely smart? Some would say yes.

Are we to believe that the Russians spread propaganda in 2016

using Big Tech to beat Secretary of State Hillary Clinton? Some would say yes.

What was Big Tech's answer to this problem? Ban Alex Jones.

Is Big Tech run by geniuses?

They could compromise and give us the border security Speaker of the House Pelosi wants

and the border wall President Trump wants.

The hordes that are trying to bring down President Trump don't have the

brains of a toe nail and they are the ones committing the crimes.
