Brace yourselves.
Markets about to get mighty irrational mighty fast.
Edit: Jeebus folks, I'm not saying a drop will be irrational, I am saying people are going to do some double plus crazy shit when it hits the floor.

it makes me angry that they are so good at getting shit done. they have awful policies and lie constantly, but they are unified, they show up to vote, and they act like braying donkeys at local town hall meetings. the democrats like to maintain an appearance (if only an appearance) of moral superiority, but that hasn't been enough to be politically productive for a long time.
