I just find it odd that it took this long for a Republican Representative to finally go and see Assange, but I am glad to see it is finally happening, now just get this ball rolling, enough with the teases from everyone, getting peoples hopes up that something is finally going to break, now lets please have something break soon! This roller coaster is driving me crazy. Pardon Assange and let's roll!

Things are heating up, something has to happen for sure now, as Trump is (optics wise at least from what we can tell) ... seems to be increasingly isolated. This Charlottesville thing was a set-up to paint Trump as a racist so that none (repubs or media) would support him, in fact, forsake him (surprise) ... Trump is ready for his "nuclear option" now. He's waited long enough, he's growing impatient, but he's hanging tough. We will see who is on the side of POTUS and who is not more clearly soon.

Edit: I am concerned about how the markets will ride any big events out, though I myself have no dog in the fight, well, not directly.

I've been trying to get my friends' dogs out of that fight, and they stupidly remark about how much they've already "made" even though nothing was actually sold.

Haha. If they've "made" anything they better put it into something physical. I know an "institution" that has over $300,000 in the bank and I keep telling them it's not really there, the only way to get it is to buy some real estate, gold, anything. Such a scam. A rising stock market is NOT a good thing and even Trump knows that as he's consistently called it a bubble. But if the MSM wants to give credit to Trump, he'll take it. Cause he's a master player. I just hope the whole thing doesn't come crashing down on POTUS's head.

it will of course, but everybody knows that's shit. when the markets crash Trump better be ready to start handing out a lot of $300 checks and tell the TARPers to fuck themselves.

Sounds like you have a dog in the fight. Like we all do. But the next crash will bring societal collapse likely. I see no way out. Polishing the rails on the Titanic.

as much a dog as anyone. I want to see us all in a less corrupt society. I think that the pensions, 401s and ss that people are, and are going to be relying on will be stolen from them in some manner otherwise, and that is very worrisome. markets run by crooks are not sustainable in any form.
