There was a heinous canard about my failure to research statements made here on the blog but the fact is everything is researched and the claim about the stock market rising in election years was based one source. (The Balance: Presidential Elections and Stock Market Returns)
The table at the bottom of the page shows the return of the S&P 500 Index for each election year since 1928. At a glance, you can see that of the last 21 election years there have been only 3 years where the S&P 500 index had a negative return during an election year.

Ed: what is a canard?
It's a false charge as in ... I canardly believe you said that.

It was observed the stock market declined for Obama's election and increased for Trump's but that only shows the vacuity of Americans in failing to see there's no functional difference between two Republicans. Besides, that was in 2008 when Bush's incompetence had dropped the failure of the big banks into Obama's lap. The vacuity was further demonstrated when the stock market went up in 2012 after they didn't get it Obama was just another GOP flunkie like Bush and Clinton.
The Clintonistas tried to ram Clinton down our throats after eight years of blazing incompetence from Obama and just could not understand why we told them to fuck off. There's not much capacity for inductive reasoning in that lot.
In the post-election this season, gun sales took off and that usually happens mostly after school shootings so other gunners won't miss the fun of wasting children but this time it appears it's the Disenchanted Left preparing to shoot back. We're counting on Trump to so savage the economy and make it so repressive here that the revolution starts. The big bet in Vegas is on how quickly he can put the Federal debt over thirty trillion. Here at the Rockhouse, we're thinking first term since he's already started the Fed giveaways and he's still talking about tax cuts. America is so screwed (larfs).
The revolution is when gated communities become known as internment camps and rich people become known as easy targets. It'll be grand with cities burning and blondie newscasters on TV wailing, "Why, why why???"
Can...Not...Wait (larfs)
Finally something on TV besides these chickenshit pony wars with IS-IS.
Jean-Paul Marat didn't know about automatic weapons as he only had the guillotine at his disposal. He could be wasting republicans to his heart's content in the modern age. Kill 'em all, JP. We just don't fuckin' need them; no-one does. They're the same ones who killed Jesus and Joan of Arc. The world never needed them.

The market is up almost every year. Pick a 5 year period and you will find very few are down.
I am speaking to the period following the election not the calendar year following an election
The Trump effect has been in effect long enough to anymore than a blip in the market just like any post election bounce or drop.
And betting that the deficit will hit 30 trillion is not much of a bet since it has always increased and the average increase is about 60% per president both parties do it so like the market it will be higher in 4 years probably not $10T higher but probably about $4T. Chances that a politician actually spends less than the government makes is far beyond hope
Defending or blasting politicians is an endless game they are all corrupt
Take your latest endorsement of Jill Stein and her election recount fiasco. She has raised over $6M to fund recounts far more than tje total amount needed to file the recount paperwork. She is now dropping the Pennsylvania effort as to expensive. Also citing that the $1M charge is the state stopping the little mans voice but it is her dropping the effort
The revolution will never start. Government know that if you keep the masses fed then the will be too lazy to rebel. So ironically the entitlement programs are the biggest roadblock to the revolution. So in order to facilitate your revolution you would want to support the elimination of those programs.
But I ramble.
If the gated communities become internment camps the residents would hardly become easy targets as you have well documented how heavily armed they are
I defended her for a while but noting flaws in her positions (i.e. anti-vaxx, etc) but Bernie remains the man. I have no doubt that man is honest. If he were not, he would probably be President now (larfs).
I know the revolution is a joke and it's been a bit of a concern in 'whoa, what if people think he's serious' ... but then I decided it would be funnier if they didn't get it.
As Syria has shown, heavy arms don't guarantee a win. Vietnam showed it too. US generals fight like it's still WWII only now they keep losing in guerrilla wars but don't understand why.
There's some thinking everyone on the bottom is soaking up dollars on entitlement programs but it's not true. I can quote multiple examples of people who are not. In any case, I disagree such phenomena will keep people out of the streets since it sure didn't work in Ferguson.
I don't believe America is in as deep trouble as it would have been with Clinton but I do believe it's in serious trouble nevertheless with Trump. They became, quite literally, the Dixie Dregs.
