    Oh absolutely about why he had that peak, just pointing out that it was inconceivable he would lose at this point in the 1992 cycle.

    Once the Gulf War stopped being a distraction, the economy cratered him.

    He was still at 70 on 8/11/91. On 1/6/91, his disapproval was even with approval at 46. He did not have another net positive approval until after the election.

    5 of the world's biggest economies are at risk of recession
    By Charles Riley, CNN Business
    London (CNN Business)Five big economies are at risk of recession. It won't take much to push them over the edge.
    The British economy shrunk in the second quarter, and growth flat lined in Italy. Data published Wednesday show Germany's economy, the world's fourth largest, contracted in the three months to June.
    "The bottom line is that the German economy is teetering on the edge of recession," said Andrew Kenningham, chief Europe economist at Capital Economics.
    Mexico just dodged a recession— usually defined as two consecutive quarters of contraction — and its economy is expected to remain weak this year. And data suggest that Brazil slipped into recession in the second quarter.
    Germany, Britain, Italy, Brazil and Mexico each rank among the world's largest 20 economies. Singapore and Hong Kong, which are smaller but still serve as vital hubs for finance and trade, are also suffering.

    German economy shrinks as 'golden decade' comes to an end

    While growth has been dragged lower in each country by a specific cocktail of factors, a global manufacturing slump and a sharp drop in business confidence have made matters worse.
    China's massive economy is growing at the slowest pace in nearly three decades as the country wages a prolonged trade war with the United States, which will impose new taxes on Chinese exports in September and December.
    "The common feature is the weak global backdrop," said Neil Shearing, group chief economist at Capital Economics.
    The International Monetary Fund last month cut its forecast for global growth this year to 3.2%, the weakest rate of expansion since 2009. It also downgraded its expectations for 2020 to 3.5%.
    Investors are increasingly worried. The bond market is flashing warning signs and more than a third of asset managers surveyed by Bank of America expect a global recession in the next 12 months.
    5 economies at risk
    Germany relies heavily on exporters that sell a disproportionate amount of goods to China and the United States. Lackluster global auto sales have also hit its carmakers.
    "Today's GDP report definitely marks the end of a golden decade for the German economy," said Carsten Brzeski, chief economist in Germany at the Dutch bank ING.

    While fears of a chaotic Brexit are helping to drag down the German economy, that issue is causing the most pain in the United Kingdom, where the economy is shrinking for the first time since 2012.
    The British economy should rebound in the third quarter and avoid an immediate recession. But if Prime Minister Boris Johnson pulls the country out of the European Union without a deal to protect trade on October 31, a recession would likely be unavoidable.
    In Italy, weak productivity, high youth unemployment, huge debt and political turmoil are to blame for its continued malaise.
    Investment has dropped in Mexico and the country's services sector is under pressure. Brazil, the largest economy in Latin America, is suffering from weak industrial production and high unemployment. Data due in the coming weeks will confirm whether it has fallen into recession.
    Storm clouds
    Shearing argues that some of the gloom and doom is unjustified. At a global level, he says, spending by companies on assets such as equipment have stabilized. The labor market is resilient.
    "While there are pockets of extreme weakness in the world economy — particularly in manufacturing — other parts are holding up relatively well," he said. "All of this is consistent with our view that global growth is slowing rather than collapsing.
    A major iron ore mine in northern Brazil.
    Yet he also points to three big risks.
    The first is the trade war. If Beijing and Washington continue to ratchet tensions higher, business confidence could plummet. The International Monetary Fund has warned that growth in 2020 would be slashed by half a percentage point if the dispute escalates further.
    Another big risk is that central banks fail to act, causing a negative reaction in financial markets that feeds through to the real economy. The US Federal Reserve cut rates last month for the first time in 11 years, and the European Central Bank has hinted that it will unleash more stimulus in September. Pressure is building on China to cut its main interest rate for the first time in four years.
    Other central banks from India to Thailand have slashed rates, and more cuts are expected.
    The final risk is that the global services sector, which has supported growth, begins to mirror the downturn seen in manufacturing.

    The difference is, with the way he controls every aspect of public discourse, trump has the ability to create a new gulf war to distract his supporters every day. It would take losing life and limb for 25% of the population to turn on him.

    Trump will never lose his base. I completely agree.

    His net approval/disapproval and long term trends are literally the worst in modern presidential polling history. Only Jimmy Carter is comparable.

    Supporting King is example 1.A on how low a GOP voter is willing to go due to their hatred of democrats. We still do not know how low they will go before turning on him, if it is possible. Crazy what religion (I include abortion and 2nd Amendment beliefs as a religion here) will do to a voter's moral compass.

    Investing in US equities, debt, real estate, etc. investing in the US is considered a safe(safer) harbor than say developing nations or Europe (right now). Foreign capital flows into the US have been a significant driver in the 10 year run we are on, particularly the last 3-5 years.

    At a base level he is trying to distract from the inversion of the yield curve which happened today. This is where the interest rate on 10 year treasuries becomes lower than the interest rate on 2 year treasuries. Fundamentally this suggests that it is less risky to invest in an instrument that will pay you back in 10 years than it is to invest in something that will pay you back in 2 years which is illogical in a strong economy. The inversion of the yield curve has predicted the last 7 recessions and there have been no false positives, ie the yield has inverted and we have not had a recession. Each of the recessions has occurred within 24 months of the inversion I believe. It’s a canary in the coal mine, and the investing world will (or should) take it seriously which could (should) constrain or contract the market - something he will try and lie about and obfuscate.

    Did you say this bolded part backwards? Shouldn't a long term investment (10 year) be less risky than short term (2 year) but also have lower interest/yield?

    edit: nvm, we are saying the same thing.

    This state actually has the highest rate of black homicide victims in the entire country


    [​IMG]

    While Donald Trump likes to talk a lot about homicide rates in cities like Chicago and Baltimore, he’s really just using coded language to get his racism across. When we look at the actual numbers around gun control, however, rates of homicide vary pretty significantly when it comes to race and sex. And the state that leads the nation in black homicides isn’t where Trump probably thinks it is.

    It’s in the middle of America. Namely, Missouri.
    As reported by the Kansas City Star, Missouri has the highest rate of black homicide victims in the entire nation. The paper came to this conclusion using a study by the Violence Policy Center. Let’s look at some hard numbers: 90 people were killed in Kansas City this year alone. Of those 90 people, more than 80% were black. When you look at all of Missouri, the homicide rate per capita for black people comes in at a horrifying nine times higher than the overall rate for the nation. Any guesses why Trump isn’t describing Missouri as “rat-infested?”

    While these upsetting numbers aren’t actually a new status for Missouri—murder rates for black residents have been topping the charts in the state for a long time—it’s important to contextualize now, in light of recent conversations about gun reform. What does Missouri have? You guessed it: Weak gun laws.

    Here are some examples of the state’s lax gun reform. Missouri lawmakers lowered the age you need to be to carry a concealed weapon from 21 to 19; approved a “stand your ground” law; stopped local government from banning open carry; and you no longer need to get a firearms permit to carry a concealed weapon. In fact, you don’t even need any firearms training to carry a concealed weapon.

    Missouri, for example, lacks any kind of “red flag” gun laws that are important for protecting people who are victims of domestic violence, among other vulnerable populations. Basically, if you think someone is a danger to themselves or others, “red flag” laws may help get their weapons removed for a limited time. A judge can grant these orders which are basically forms of risk protection. But in Missouri, that’s a no-go.

    “If you want to hunt an animal in Missouri, you must attend a hunter’s safety education course and obtain a license,” Kansas City Police Chief Rick Smith wrote in a blog post. “But recent state legislation has removed any requirements on carrying or using a gun around people.”

    The rural-urban divide makes this one especially tough for Missouri. While Kansas City mayors, including Quinton Lucas, the new mayor, have long advocated for the ability to make stricter gun laws for the city itself, suburban and rural legislators consistently vetoed them. For example, Mayor Lucas wants an ordinance to ban giving handguns to minors, pointing out that when people pick up guns at 18, it’s probably not the first time they’ve held them.

    Oh—And remember not too long ago, when a white man who wanted to “test” his right to bear arms caused mass panic in a Walmart by walking around with armor, a rifle, and more than 100 rounds of ammunition? That was in Springfield, Missouri. He has since been arrested on terrorist threat charges.
