2. I really can't fucking believe this,
I can't believe we've got to where we got.

I must be insane and hallucinating, or dead and in hell, or something.

I really think so now. Either I'm insane or the whole world is.


Expletive.

3. I cant believe it
We've gone from "hope & change" and "yes we can" to "I wish they wouldnt" and "where did my party go?".

4. I can't believe what's going on is what's going on....... The GOP was dead Jan 2009, how could they
possibly be able to get so much of what they wanted the past 30 months? And I don't like how the President keeps saying things like a deal is better than no deal at all. No, no Sir it is not. As my friend would say, "easy for him to say!"

13. "Citizens United" Has Changed Everything
Now the Repiglickins have access to unlimited quantities of corporate money.

I don't like how the President keeps saying things like a deal is better than no deal at all.


It's true. If we default, all social programs are toast.

5. I have a client, major hedge fund mgr with ties to the highest levels of politics.
Highest levels, a major Dem donor.

He says a default is now going to happen according to his sources in Washington. He's already positioned his fund accordingly. He's been told to expect a default, that the current thinking is that the markets will have a major meltdown next week, with a "swift resolution" within days after the default.

The PTB have already been warned. I am bummed.

7. Why bummed?
Swift resolution? Or you think it means a super bad deal for everyone who isn't wealthy?

9. Yes. A super bad deal for those who aren't wealthy. These folks are FRIENDS with the Clintons.
The major financial global power brokers are being given inside information which says we're going to default.

There are more than a few Americans who could also be helped by knowing this in advance.

The rich protect their own. The rest of us are screwed. We are going to default. There is going to be major chaos.

6. SO looking forward to the battalions who can swoop in and explain to me how it's all so complex and
awesome and stunning in its 23rd-dimensionalism, and how once it all shakes out it will be like a big cake with extra frosting and enough for everybody, if I would just not jump to conclusions or look for negativity.

Well, not really.
