Investors were licking their chops at the prospect of a red-wave midterm election, but a strong Democratic performance caused markets to tank. Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur discuss on The Young Turks. Watch TYT LIVE on weekdays 6-8 pm ET. http://youtube.com/theyoungturks/live
“Stocks were lower on Wednesday — following recent market gains — as results of the midterm elections provided no clear answers about who would control Congress yet. A crypto selloff also weighed on markets.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 646.89 points, or about 1.95%, to 32,513.94. The decline was led by Disney, which fell 13.2% after the entertainment giant missed analysts’ estimates on the top and bottom lines. The S&P 500 shed 2.08% to 3,748.57, and the Nasdaq Composite slid 2.48% to 10,353.17.
Stocks fell to session lows during Wednesday afternoon as the price of bitcoin dropped to a new bear market low. The declines occurred after crypto exchange Binance said it’s backing out of plans to acquire its rival FTX, citing the results of a due diligence exam, as well as recent reports of mishandled customer funds and alleged U.S. agency investigations of FTX. The decision weighed on overall risk sentiment and dragged down the tech sector.”
Donald Trump ended his pre-midterm rally blitz in disgusting fashion, calling House Speaker Nancy Pelosi “an animal,” championing the death penalty, and giddily imagining the prison rape of the journalist who reported on the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. “The leaking from the Supreme Court is unbelievable,” the former president said Monday night at a rally in Ohio.
“But you get the information very easily. You tell the reporter who is it … and if the reporter doesn’t want to tell you it’s ‘bye bye.’ The reporter goes to jail. When the reporter learns he’s going to be married to a certain prisoner who’s extremely strong, tough, and mean, he will say, ‘you know, I think I’m going to give you the information.’” He laid out the same fantasy at a rally in Texas last month. The audience burst out in laughter, just as they did Monday night in Ohio.
Read the full article. The piece goes on to note that Trump has recently been asking advisers how to copy Russian and Chinese methods for imprisoning journalists. Last night Trump also praised China for executing drug dealers after a “two-hour” trial.
Several months ago, Trump briefly asked a small gathering about what would have to be done to curb the freedom of the press.
Trump has been wondering how he might be able to jail journalists since 2017. The New York Times reported then that Trump told then-FBI Director James Comey he should consider imprisoning journalists who publish classified information.https://t.co/3vyGA04zSQ

The majority of Americans do not vote because they can’t get to the polls or because they are so disaffected by past elections. And whats worst is that young voters are less likely to be engaged in politics because the dinosaurs in Congress have ignored every single one of their voting issues.
And thats on BOTH parties because we’ve got leadership in both parties that were born in the friggin 40s and do not represent the majority of Americans or our interests. The Rs at least believe their crazy-ass convictions where Dems are just trying to make everyone happy, mostly end up making their donors/wall street/billionaires happy.
Again, You dont just expect people to vote for you because you think that should be enough, and thats all dems run on. Meanwhile, Republicans ACTUALLY GET SHIT DONE for their voters.
Repealed RvW, stacked the courts, thwarted any real legislative changes, etc. etc. How bad are the Dems at this if we didnt see any of this coming?

Texas Paul shows a new viral MeidasTouch Ad and gives his commentary EXPOSING the GOP has allowing the most violent crime to occur in the areas they govern.
Both these guys are anti-trans. Walsh makes up a ridiculously large number to claim children are being rushed into puberty blockers. When told the true number is less than 1,000 a year Rogan laughs about it because he loved the idea scaring people on the idea that millions of kids were transitioning. Tomorrow I will read stories all over right wing media how millions of kids are being forced to use puberty blockers as they are forced to transition. This is the sort of dirty tricks and made up false information that the right loves to use against trans people and the rest of the LGBTQ+. Facts don’t matter to these people. Also not mentioned here but Walsh has a recorded show where he said girls at the age of 12 should be married and have sex and by 14 should be having babies because they reach their peak sexuality by 16. Yet it is the gays and teachers he calls groomers. Hugs
Daily Wire host Matt Walsh claimed “millions” of kids have now been put on hormone blockers before getting fact checked by Joe Rogan’s producer. “How many people have had this done?” Rogan asked. “Depends on what — I don’t think we have exact numbers, but it’s — if we’re talking about the drugs, it’s, I mean, millions,” Walsh replied in reference to hormone medication given to those who are transitioning.
The projection screen in front of Rogan and Walsh lit up and producer Jamie Vernon interjected with a fact check from a Reuters article. “That’s a very small number if that’s right,” Vernon said referencing the article, published October 6, 2022, which said only 4,780 children had been placed on puberty blockers within the last five years. “Less than a thousand people a year,” Vernon reiterated. “A million sounds great,” Rogan laughed.
Walsh, who has called for charging adults who bring kids to drag show as pedophiles, recently appeared on JMG when he declared that Disney’s black mermaid is “unscientific.”
The previous month he appeared here when he blamed the Buffalo mass shooting on pandemic lockdowns.
Earlier this year, we heard from him when he declared that lesbians will cease to exist over the next 30 years.
Before that, he appeared here when he called for banning adoption by LGBT people. And before that, he appeared here when he called for dissolving the United States.
Walsh also claims that shooting people “is not against the law.” Walsh has declared that “everybody would be happier” if arranged marriages were mandatory.

I’m just finishing up the agenda for the next Gay Conspiracy Meeting. Once we’ve made everyone get gay married, all children will be switched to the opposite sex, then we’ll make them switch back. Just, you know, because that’s how we roll.
Repost just because the only value folks like Walsh have is fun in mocking them.

A tip line set up by Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin for parents to submit complaints about CRT being taught in schools was quietly closed due to lack of complaints. This comes after Youngkin made nonexistent CRT the single most important issue of his gubernatorial run. Texas Paul reports.
