I think Phil Mudd may actually turn into the Incredible Hulk today.

At this point in the business cycle things are looking pretty inflationary (wages increasing with productivity flat), so the pace of interest rate increases by the Fed would increase if inflation pressures continue/increase. That's bad for the stock market and financial asset prices in general (and ECB tightening).
Also, a tax cut with no govt spending offset, late in the economic cycle doesn't help.
I love that guy.
The fact that's the number is actually 666 makes it even funnier.
I can’t even tell anymore

Dammit langster.
I had to look twice. Says it all, doesn't it
Sour grapes.
He is the devil.
It's a parody account.

Wonder whether he'll now stop obsessing over the stock market. The economic data released today was pretty damn good, so maybe he should stick to talking about that instead.
The Mooch is on Maher in a few minutes. I can only imagine the dumbfeckery that will spew from his bowels.
I just posted the 666 tweet to my Facebook to see if anyone bites
Damn I wanna see that. Could be good but I have a sleeping kid in the room. The Mooch is weird tho - he was on NBC as a commentator following the SOTU and he was surprisingly mellow. It's almost like he s Jekyll and Hyde
So he is going against the FBI for Russiagate with a document only approved from the GOP. So much for being diplomatic 
Strength in depth, I’ll give them that
The desperation is palpable.
He’s knows there is an inevitability about it, he’s just desperate to have the public behind him, or at least give the impression they are when the charges come. If the public is behind him, it will give the GOP something to think about when calls for impeachment start.
What? It proves nothing

"Mr. Trump joins Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, Pope John Paul II and Martin Luther King Jr. in the pantheon of great champions of freedom from the past half-century."
This makes me physically uncomfortable.
I thought the Washington Times was a proper paper? Or am I thinking about The Post?
I wonder how the author manage to type that, with his head firmly in Donny's arse
The Post is a proper paper (mostly), the Times slants right and is a garbage editorial echo-chamber.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Washington_Times#Political_stance - "There is even a daily newspaper—the Washington Times—published strictly for the movement's benefit, a propaganda sheet whose distortions are so obvious and so alien that it puts one in mind of those official party organs one encounters when traveling in authoritarian countries," in a 2008 essay by liberal historian Thomas Frank.
https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/The_Washington_Times - The editorial slant of the Washington Times is notably conservative and partisan in favor of the Republican Party. On occasion, they do some bang-up investigative journalism and muckraking, sometimes on other conservative groups which the Moonies are involved in intramural feuds with. Usually though, the Times is a quaint bore, ever pining for a return to the glory days of the 1850s or 1920s, and Ronald Reagan's befuddled dreams of reactionary radicalism.
The post is owned by Amazon's Jeff Bezos and he hates Trump.
Disappointed in CSPAN.
They've got Gorka on and he's boasting about Fox News' high rating and peddling lies about the Trump campaign being spied on and Scully isn't calling him out on it.

He bought the Post in 2013 - has its editorial and news content changed massively to the left?
The Times has been a hard right paper since creation.

They are a but right leaning.
At what point do Trump's statements about the FBI become not only dangerous to the stability of the country but also a true threat to the FBI and federal government as a whole? Waco and the Oklahoma City bombings made it quite clear at the time that at least then (and I assume not much has changed) - there is a decent sized radical group of citizens out there who will only use this as more ammunition to oppose an agency like the FBI and other federal agencies.
Perhaps I am taking this too far now but is it that much of a stretch to think this could possibly lead to extreme radicalization of some of our citizens against its own government with possibly disastrous consequences?

That's the fundamental problem when someone like Trump attacks institutions. There is always a knock on effect down the road involving anything from a lack of public trust in said institutions or else in more perverse cases, nutjobs who threaten or attack their employees because they are wound up from Trump's words.
I can't imagine any scenario in which he goes quietly. He'll be a thorn in governments' sides for years, sadly.
I've said it a few times but that's why I think the Nixon route of offering him a pardon if he steps down and disappears quietly is not an option.
There is also a big difference in that Nixon's crimes were committed acting as President whereas Trump's crimes were committed before his Presidency and it is becoming apparent that his entire Empire is built on corruption so can they really just let him step down and return to his criminal empire? If they're going to go after the financial crimes of the Trump corporation, he's going to have to face the music.
It's why I think there is a very good chance that Republicans will allow a situation where he faces some form of imprisonment. It'll be a lot quieter for them if he can't organise the "IT'S A CONSPIRACY TOUR" of his strongholds and taunt the government on social media. What sort of classified information has he had access to during his time? Can they trust him not to share it with a country that will look after him should Trump Corp assets have been stripped?
