I was told that I shouldn't worry because my portfolio is diversified and the strategy is over the long term. That I should call back if they don't lift the debt limit to re-evaluate. But again the debt limit will be short term vs. my long term strategy. They better be right.

Can you point to what exactly target was selling that was inappropriate?

May 25, 20232 yr A lot of these guys have significant investments of their own. Would be shocked if they're willing to tank them at the behest of a guy who stares at solar eclipses, but then I'm also reminded of the fact that MTG is presiding over the house so I guess there really is no bottom to their stupidity.

The cult's gonna do what the cult leader says. But surely there are enough in the mix that aren't willing to douse themselves in gasoline and light a match....right? The really insane part is the amount of Republican rank and file that would be happy to see the country slip into a depression because they hate liberals. It really speaks to how little these losers have to live for.

And anyone who tries to tell them is just some Ivy League alarmist that is part of the deep state.

The leadership, I mean, I know the base wants it, but they can barely tie their shoes.

McCarthy probably knows the risks, but he cares about being speaker a lot more than global economic catastrophe. He had to agree that any one Congressman can call for a Motion to Vacate, and it takes just a simple majority. So 218 votes and he's out -- all 213 Dems and 5 GOP, and no more speaker McCarthy. Any deal would likely lose 15-25 GOP votes from the Freedom Caucus. So the only way to get a deal is for Biden to deliver Democratic votes not only for the deal, but also votes that wouldn't remove McCarthy when someone like Gaetz brings a Motion to Vacate. But if you're McCarthy -- do you trust Biden and the Democrats not to stab you in the back? If he is removed, the House is paralyzed and the GOP looks like clowns -- all of that helps Biden and Dems in 2024. So how does McCarthy do a deal that guarantees he stays speaker? I'm not banking on McCarthy putting the good of the country above his own political ambition. On Monday the market was pricing in like zero risk -- no reason not to step to the sidelines for 2 weeks.

I don't worry about Dems uniting and agreeing on keeping McCarthy in. If Biden tells them to do it, they'll do it. I guess I don't know if McCarthy will trust them or not, but he probably should. There's a segment of the Republican side that actively wants the doomsday scenario, so working with Dems is easily the best chance he has.
