    How dare the ultra-liberal Senator Lankford undermine muh President like this! Maybe you aren't worried about the hordes of illegals in <<checks notes>> Oklahoma... but in the heartland we have real concerns! Coastal elite scum!!

    465,000,000 is the annual cost to the state of Oklahoma of illegal immigration.

    • DSL, you are correct that there are things, Trump tweets in particular, that can roil markets.

      The problem is that once a sell off starts because that 30% of market investors that are actually human beings sell, for example, on word trade tensions are rising with China, the machines take over and magnify it out of proportion to that which humans probably would sell based on actual economic realities. It works in reverse too.

      My point was that this machine trading has become a huge part of the massive volatility - the 1000+ swings during a Dow trading day - that are literally sweeping billions of investor dollars off the table and then putting it back on in the next 24h. It can be distressing. It shouldn't be.
      Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.

                The problem is Trump is truly the first president to start publicly cheerleading the stock market and taking credit, that is a dangerous game for any president. When you start talking about firing cabinet members and the Fed chair because of a sell off and you get the treasury secretary putting out unvetted stupid comments from a beach in Cabo it is enough. Get the adults in charge, imagine the fiasco if a Lehman Brothers crash happened with this crew.

                • I saw people upset that the market rebounded on Wednesday. They want our economy into recession to increase their chances in the next election.

                    • couple of things--yeah cop killings went up 12% --every year seems to be 125-160 I don't know if you can blame it on anything specifically but when you have a severe shortage of applicants to boot this last year or two the pendulum has once again swayed too far

                      • Want to take bets on whether the gun that killed officer #RonilSingh is illegally owned? What are the chances that an #IllegalAlien would go through proper channels to own a LEGAL firearm?

                        • Yep. Whatever "law abiding citizen" who wasn't responsible enough not to lose his gun should be held accountable.
