Morning Poppers (something is wrong with America edition)

I don’t know have eloquent enough words to express my disappointment with society right now, in light of the tragic events in Las Vegas. Some of you animals are able to digest this sort of news and instantly spin it to whichever agenda you’re peddling for the day — but I just get dispirited. What sort of person perches up and fires into a crowd of people, reveling in the joys of a festival? Maybe it’s best I just stick to the markets moves right now — because there’s really not much else to be said.

Yep, gun stocks are sharply higher — due to the belief that this event will rejuvenate efforts to ban guns.

Look for hotel/casino stocks to be bid lower: WYNN, MGM, CZR

Crude is sharply lower by 2.1%, while the dollar is +0.63% v the euro. Nasdaq futs are +15. The satanic worshippers love mass killings/war/death/mayhem, so do not expect stocks to trade off a bit.

I don’t see how airline stocks aren’t negatively effected by this. Who the heck wants to visit Vegas after this? Oh, that’s right, we live in America — everyone.

Spain is off by 1.5%, due to their MUH fascism. Everyone else is ripping higher.

    What sort of person perches up and fires into a crowd of people, reveling in the joys of a festival? A person aided by deep state would be a pretty good guess…. with black ops shooters helping.

    America is a mad, hot mess. Our kids are bombarded with one horrific event after another.
    Our country desperately needs wisdom and leadership and all we have are loudmouths and incompetents. Who will step up?

      Leadership is not needed. A culture change is needed.

        That’s what great leadership is all about. Think dim-wittted Americans are going to change without it? Ain’t going to happen.

          Obama was as eloquent and sharp as a person could be, politics aside. The problem with America isn’t a President, it’s the fact that we have a culture that is degenerate, from the top down.

            You bought uvxy + yang and then hoped for nuclear attacks, what does that say about your contribution to the culture.

            The fact that Obama had great abilities did not make him a leader. For whatever reason, he followed. He built, but refused to spend, political capital (with the exception of the Iran agreement) in any significant way.

            I don’t know TC. Best we can do it instill morals in our own children and encourage them to make a difference.

            I think ferd is correct. A great leader is needed, and Obama had the skills and goodwill to get it done. If he had taken on Financial Reform instead of Health Care, he could have pulled Schumer and the Congress kicking and screaming with him. Instead he waited for the Repubs to take back the House to provide the cover resistance to reform that he needed. Also, he should have let Geitner go as soon as he found out that his Treasury Secretary didn’t pay his taxes.

          I don’t get it. You have to be a twisted fuck to do something like this. How did he have a weapons cache like that?

      Knowing you, for sure you wished the answer was that warmongering shabbos-shiksa Crooked Hitlery to orchestrate terror acts. And she would oblige.

      There are ALWAYS warning signs:
      He had a roommate, he likely sad things that let roommate/folks know he was snapping,
      SEE, HEAR SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING
      SEE, HEAR SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING

        So he was “snapping” and NOT a TERRORIST? Is that right? Less than 24 hours in?

          You can call him anything you want, what difference does it make?
          ISIS car drivers give warning sings talking jihad, that idiot at Charlotsville and Dylan Roof were posting things online associated with race.
          Your point is stupid

    Seriously Fly, the ban hammer is almost needed. Shut this muppet up ffs. FYI, I’m Australian and I really feel for you guys. I love the US but you are spot on – a culture change is truly needed. Not cool… 🙁

    Firstly, there have always been nuts …and there always will be nuts. But I agree with Fly. A culture which is unified around tolerance of the views and behaviors of others (“I do not agree with what you have to say, but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it.”) is less likely to grow this particular kind of nut. American symbols that unify us need to be made to mean liberty, rather than perpetual war against people we do not understand. Leadership matters, but sadly, too many leaders, have chosen the easy route of identity politics, fear and division.

    Relatedly, Sarc says some outrageous things, but what concerns me is not someone’s words as much as those like lapens who scream for censorship when they read/hear something inappropriate or with which they disagree.

    My gf lives in Las Vegas she’s pretty shook up. I go to Vegas all the time. This is fucked. They say that guy was firing from 1000′ away. Sounds like he had some crazy weapons. What a tragedy.

      1,000 ft shots are not that difficult. I mean a newbie isn’t going to pull it off, but anyone with anything more than cursory training should be able to put lead on target from that distance especially when the target area is jammed pack. That’s where the saying “fish in a barrel” comes from.

    Talk to actual people, then comment about the culture.

    It’s amazing that the “blacktivist” Twitter account news isn’t getting more airtime. It shows (1) just how involved Russia is and (2) their goal was not to make Trump Popular, bt to sow US dysfunction and divisiveness. The RIght should be jumping all over this and should fianlly get onboard with the Mueller investigation.
