I'll try not to be too flippant but... he thought the US ever _wasn't_ an oligarchy?

Flippant be hanged! IMO, it all started with W Bush, who put the icing on that cake by invading Iraq based on a televised lie. He was "sneaky" but the current administration doesn't even try to sneak. The mid-terms may be our final chance to save our nation.

> The mid-terms may be our final chance to save our nation.

I don’t understand anyone who believes that. What do you expect to happen during the midterms exactly that would bring the US back on some mythical track of rule of law, with a just and fair government? The corruption runs so deep, the institutions have been gutted, there are no good people in charge left. This ride is going to last a while, and the way out (if there’s one) looks nothing like the way in.

Republicans are on track to win the mid-terms…

S&P500 is all you need

Fed cuts interest rate, jobs go up, 401k go up, RSU go up, credit card points go up, everyone is happy

Colin Powell must be shaking vials of yellow powder in his grave right now.
