Has more to do with fraud being legal for the next 4 years! The very first thing this congress did was try to close the house ethics office. Tells you everything you need to know about Republicans!

More and more stories like
More and more stories like this:
That was fascinating. As a coda to our family vacation, when we came through customs at JFK last night we learned that (actually it took some time to learn what was going on) Daniel, our eight year old son, had been flagged as a person of interest for additional questioning and possible detention. So without being told what was going on, we were told to wait in an endless line made up mainly of foreign nationals (possibly some green card holders, wasn't altogether clear). Our ten year old Sam was beside himself because he was being inconvenienced; Daniel was deeply sad sac thinking he'd done something wrong - other than founding the criminal syndicate he runs.
Someone either from the airport or perhaps the TSA (I think not actually CBP) kept asking/insisting * repeatedly suggesting that the rest of the family go sit in some separate waiting area while Daniel waited in the line alone. This got me, I confess, somewhat belligerent. We all waited together, obviously.
When we finally got to the CBP officer, the fact that Daniel is eight seemed to put a pretty quick end to the whole thing. Daniel answered a few questions, was asked to sign his passport and we were off.
Recent events have made me increasingly see the CBP as something along the lines of a rogue federal agency. I have a very negative sense of the whole organization. That said, the guy we dealt when we finally got through the line with was friendly, professional and pretty chill.
We learned in a subsequent line that Daniel's is a "common name" and what had happened was that some law enforcement or intelligence agency had put a hold on someone by that name. (I'm wiilling to believe "Daniel Marshall" is a common name; "Daniel Eytan Marshall" I'm not so sure.) And that's how we ended up in that situation. Will this happen again if we have to return to the US from overseas? Depends. Depends on what? How long the hold is in place.
It's nice to know the system isn't advanced enough to cross check for age.
WTF?
*(I revised the above line because several people have noted it. No one 'insisted'. It is fairer to say that it was repeatedly suggested that we do this, with the clear implication that it was what we were supposed to do. We made clear we would stay together as a family.)

Not even a nice try. But given the fact that the market didn't take off until it was clear that Democrat wouldn't be President I can understand your defensiveness.

Perhaps that's why it initially went up, but it doesn't explain the long sustained growth.
Data from Goldman Sachs put out earlier this week also shows that a basket of stocks tracked by the firm that should’ve been set to gain from lower taxes are now trading below where they were ahead of the election.

>“They were rude and belittling to me,” he said. “They would call me up and then send me back to my seat.”
He was asked why his husband was not with him. He had his phone and wallet searched and was asked about their contents. They asked about his hometown of Olds, Alta., and why he relocated.
Potter alleges he was then taken into a small cell where he sat for about 15 minutes.
Officers entered and next told him to remove his jacket, shoes and belt and to put his hands on the wall. Officers frisked him on “every part of his body,” he said.
“I was given no reason at all,” Potter said. “I asked and they would not answer.”
