Wall Street Opens Lower In Shortened Session

J. D. Vance mustered up all his compassion, i.e. none, after two students and two instructors were shot to death and nine others wounded by gunshots in a Georgia high school this week. The suspect is a 14-year-old student who allegedly used an assault-style rifle to commit the mass murder and carnage. Vance’s response? “I don’t like this, I don’t like to admit this, I don’t like that this is a fact of life,” Vance said. But Vance doesn’t dislike this “fact of life” enough to want to keep assault-style rifles out of the hands of 14-year-olds or anyone else.

MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell nailed it after Donald spoke at the Economic Club of New York over the audience applauding after the felon rambled incoherently. O'Donnell pointed out that they were “clapping for the man who they watched try to overthrow the results of a presidential election.” The MSNBC host played a clip of Donald saying: Caracas, Venezuela, has almost no crime. Next year, I'm going to suggest that the Economic Club hold its meeting in Caracas because we'll be safer than we are in our country if they win. We'll be far safer. "Now, just think about how stupid you have to be to say that," O'Donnell said.

[Above: SNL parodies a presidential debate, October 2020. -- eds] Donald Trump is a serial liar unrivaled in modern politics. He often goes on weird tangents that have nothing to do with a question, either because he can't retain any knowledge related to any policy or legislation or because he lacks enough attention span to do so. Since he rode down the escalator in 2015, Trump has been implementing Joseph Goebbels's strategy: when you tell a lie long enough, people will believe it.

Stephanie Ruhle didn't hold back over the biased media's non-coverage of Donald's incoherent rambling. If Kamala Harris had said what Donald said about his child-care policy, then the media would be all over it. "If Donald Trump was 'inarticulate' yesterday when he was explaining the child care policy, when he had to answer about the deficit, we could accept that, right?" Ruhle said.

Just when you think Marco Rubio can't go any lower he stoops to this, defending Russian shills against the interests of the United States. just innocent victims taking their $100k a week and not asking questions. History will look back on this era as one of the most perverse in American political history. Source: New Republic Senator Marco Rubio doesn’t think that Russia paying off right-wing influencers is a big deal. The ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee was asked on Fox News Thursday about the Justice Department revelation that several conservative commentators were paid by assets of the Russian government to produce propaganda and disinformation.

Trump was asked at the Economic Club of New York what he plans to do about making childcare more affordable if he wins in November and outside of repeating the term childcare over and over, he veered off into how much money his tariffs on other countries are going to bring in. When will the media look at this guy's mental acuity on policy proposals and questions?
