Another day in BuildBackBiden

Just mentioning Janet Yellen's name took the market down.

It was comments by Janet Yellen that caused the sell off. What ever happened to honest reporting? 🤔

It was Grandma Yellen brain farting? Report the truth?

Stock market= House of cards, please don’t allow the sheep herders to convince you that stocks are real

You see all the fun and cheering - inflation is very high - when this market is done falling - heads won’t wanna cheer like that at the end of the closing bell

Stocks fell bc it was a classic wall street rugpull. There was nothing new we found today and it matched everyone's expectations for rate hike. There was no reason for the market to crash today other than stock manipulation.

Thanks to Big Guy

Thanks joe Biden
