I’m getting a little dizzy from all the psyops swirling around me. Just last week, it appeared Trump had been captured by an evil version of himself, inspired by Bill Kristol, to carry water for the neocon war party. This morning, he’s talking greasy about the democrats, Comey and most importantly Mexico.
Check out the article he just retweeted. HAHAHAHAHAAHAH
Mexico beat the fuck down.
Comey lost the confidence of almost everyone in Washington, Republican and Democrat alike. When things calm down, they will be thanking me!
James Comey was trying to inspire confidence in his underlings at the time of his dismissal. He was giving a speech to them when someone said that he had been fired, after learning from it from the teevee.
According to the NY Times, Comey thought it was a jolly-good prank, well done old sport. He gave a hearty chuckle, maybe even cracked a smile, and then continued to orate in front of the Los Angeles office.
Then it happened. It fucking happened.
Mr. Comey was addressing a group of F.B.I. employees in Los Angeles when a television in the background flashed the news that he had been fired.
In response, Mr. Comey laughed, saying he thought it was a fairly funny prank.
Then his staff started scurrying around in the background and told Mr. Comey that he should step into a nearby office.
Mr. Comey stopped addressing the group. He proceeded to shake hands with the employees he had been speaking to. Then he stepped into a side office, where he confirmed that he had been fired. At that point, he had not heard from the White House.
Shortly thereafter, a letter from Mr. Trump was delivered to the F.B.I.’s headquarters, just seven blocks from the White House.
Mr. Comey’s day had begun in Florida, where he spoke to a group of police officers. He then flew to Los Angeles, where he was also scheduled to speak at a diversity meeting.
Fox News neocon in chief, Charles Krauthammer ponders why Comey was treated with such ‘malice.’
I bet Mika Brzezinski husband, Joe Scarborough, was ordered by his wife to shill out on Twitter this evening — after President Trump fired the incompetent James Comey.
In a litany of inane tweets, The Morning Shill is looking pretty pathetic here. It really is quite SAD!
Here’s Joe calling on republitards to stand up to this tyrant, else feel the ramifications or the ‘blow back’ as Joe Hairdryer says.
Hey, Republicans. Stand the Hell up. This is your moment to be counted.
It is critical Republicans call for the appointment of an independent prosecutor. Not just for the good of the party but for their country. https://t.co/5VBWViX2D8
Senate Republicans, you will be judged forever by how you check this abuse of power by a lifelong Democrat who took over your party. https://t.co/pD00zSuXzv
Other democrats are equally triggered, but not nearly as pathetic as Scarborough.
Delusionally, Sen. Pocahontas Warren says Comey was fired because of the Russians, obviously a ploy to cover up the fact that Trump is a secret agent. Retard tier thinking here.
And here’s the overly dramatic, definitely gay, Rep. Schiff saying this ‘harkens back to Schiff.’
Wait, there’s more.
Sen. McCain is ‘disappointed’.
“While the President has the legal authority to remove the Director of the FBI, I am disappointed in the President’s decision to remove James Comey from office,” McCain said in a statement.
Everyone is making such a big deal over the firing of James Comey. First of all, everyone hated him — shills from both parties. Second of all, Trump doesn’t have ‘Russian ties’. That’s fake news. Thirdly, Trump is Mcfooling all of you stupid politcal bird-brains — pissing off the libtards and giving red meat to the conservatards; meanwhile, he’s about to send more troops to Afghanistan.
All of you will have an opinion. This is mine: it’s a distraction and a gigantic nothing-burger.
Here are some quick hits on the topic.
Comey shit-canned whilst making a speech to employees, introduced to the idea by media reports. Severely beat the fuck down.

China’s official propaganda outlet adds levity to the situation.
Hillary Clinton should be nervous. This is the primary reason the AG’s office recommended Comey’s dismissal.
“I cannot defend [Comey’s] handling of the conclusion of the investigation of Sec. Clinton’s emails.”
Bill Clinton is a rapist. He was the last and only President to fire an FBI director.
Here was the NY Times article from 1993.
WASHINGTON, July 19— President Clinton today dismissed William S. Sessions, the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, who had stubbornly rejected an Administration ultimatum to resign six months after a harsh internal ethics report on his conduct.
Mr. Clinton said he would announce his nominee to replace Mr. Sessions on Tuesday. He was expected to pick Judge Louis J. Freeh of Federal District Court in Manhattan; officials said Judge Freeh had impressed Mr. Clinton favorably on Friday at their first meeting.
Mr. Clinton, explaining his reasons for removing Mr. Sessions, effective immediately, said, “We cannot have a leadership vacuum at an agency as important to the United States as the F.B.I. It is time that this difficult chapter in the agency’s history is brought to a close.” Defiant to the End
But in a parting news conference at F.B.I. headquarters after Mr. Clinton’s announcement, a defiant Mr. Sessions — his right arm in a sling as a result of a weekend fall — railed at what he called the unfairness of his removal, which comes nearly six years into his 10-year term.
“Because of the scurrilous attacks on me and my wife of 42 years, it has been decided by others that I can no longer be as forceful as I need to be in leading the F.B.I. and carrying out my responsibilities to the bureau and the nation,” he said. “It is because I believe in the principle of an independent F.B.I. that I have refused to voluntarily resign.”
Mr. Clinton said that after reviewing Mr. Sessions’s performance, Attorney General Janet Reno had advised him that Mr. Sessions should go. “After a thorough review by the Attorney General of Mr. Sessions’s leadership of the F.B.I., she has reported to me in no uncertain terms that he can no longer effectively lead the bureau.”
Despite the President’s severe tone, he seemed to regret having to force Mr. Sessions from his post. He said he had hoped that the issue could be settled at the Justice Department without the necessity of using his authority to dismiss the Director, who has a 10-year term but may be removed by the President at any time.
But Mr. Sessions’s intransigence had festered into an awkward situation for Mr. Clinton.
A Republican stranded in a Democratic Administration, Mr. Sessions was appointed to head the F.B.I. by President Ronald Reagan in 1987 amid the turmoil of the Iran-contra affair. Mr. Sessions arrived as a respected judge from San Antonio, but after five and a half years in office, he leaves with his star fallen, his agency adrift and his support at the F.B.I. all but drained away. Troubled Tenure
He served under four Attorneys General, and each complained privately about his absentee management style, his frequent traveling — often to unimportant events — and his inability to take command.
During Mr. Sessions’s tenure, the F.B.I. has struggled to redefine its mission, which has shifted focus dramatically with the collapse of the Soviet empire.
Comey brought ‘disrepute’ to the agency.
Krauthammer ponders why this was done with ‘malice’.
Schumer chimps out, calls for special prosecutor due to MUH Russia.
This is the worst earnings report Yelp had ever produced. Perhaps their extortion racket is getting old and lame?
I never dine out without first consulting with my Yelp app. Nonetheless, the company seems to have an issue now. For them to warn like this means the train fell off the tracks. This is not a buy.
Don’t buy businesses in decline. Their stock prices do this during earnings season.
Reports Q1 (Mar) earnings of $0.19 per share, $0.03 better than the Capital IQ Consensus of $0.16; revenues rose 24.4% year/year to $197.32 mln vs the $198.51 mln Capital IQ Consensus.
Advertising revenue totaled $177.0 million, representing 24% growth compared to the first quarter of 2016.
Co issues downside guidance for Q2, sees Q2 revs of $202-206 mln vs. $215.29 mln Capital IQ Consensus Estimate.
Co issues downside guidance for FY17, sees FY17 revs of $850-865 mln (from $880-900 mln) vs. $889.45 mln Capital IQ Consensus Estimate.
“We had strong financial performance this quarter doubling adjusted EBITDA compared to a year ago,” said Lanny Baker, Yelp’s chief financial officer. “While we are lowering our revenue and adjusted EBITDA outlook for the year, sales productivity has rebounded, transactions revenue has accelerated and we’ve seen promising results from our newly expanded retention efforts, giving us confidence in our ability to grow and scale in 2017 and beyond.”
I’m sure the Politico article that
I’m about to reference was written by a white man. The new thing amongst slimeball lefties is to publicly shame themselves and their race. It’s so nice of these liberals to hijack the civil rights movement from ‘people of color’, making themselves immune to the ire because, well, they’re against whitey so therefore cannot be considered racist or oppressive.
Here’s Politico citing White House records showing that 70yr old rich white guy met with other white men 62% of the time at the White House — about in line with the demographics.
Fucking cucks.
But alas! The filthy gremlins at Politico compiled a list of their own — which makes the outrageous claim that Trump met with white males 75% of the time.
About 75 percent of the executives who have gotten time with Trump are white men, according to POLITICO’s analysis. That lack of diversity also reflects the reality at many large companies: According to Forbes, women made up just 4.2 percent of the CEOs last year at the 500 largest U.S. companies. And a recent study found that women and minorities make up just 31 percent of the 500 largest U.S. companies’ boards.
When will Politico start categorizing visitors by religion? Now that they established that Trump is a racist, can they somehow prove that he is anti semitic too by proving less than 3% of his visitors were jewish?
Please Politico, we must know the truth, for the sake of tolerance.
They posted a good quarter today and the stock is soaring today. With it, other pharam scam stocks are pressing gains, like ENDP. The whole sector of orphan drug shills, like MYL, MNK, ALNY and ENDP might just be a buy here, considering that Trump pulled a Costanza here, doing the exact opposite of what he promised.
As an aside, I’m blogging from a shitty iPhone today, out on a business trip. I have an important investment model that I will be releasing this week and have been busy with other things, none of which are of a concern to you.
Markets appear to be heading higher, sans oil. Airlines and retail are doing well and short sellers are simply being tortured at this stage in the upcycle.
Back to my original question. Will VRX undergo a recovery now that the curse of death, Bill Ackman, is out of the stock?
I’m sorry republitards, but you’ve been had. I have a lot more in common with you than libfags; but, ultimately, I’m an anarchist who wants the world to burn.
For a brief period, my ineradicable passion for fire and brimstone was upended by the great orange one. He was like a friendly orangutan, a very rich one, offering yuge promises of winship — at the expense of others. This, as you know, is my favorite form of winning. How could I not support a man who threatened to build a gigantic wall and then force Mexico to pay for it? I’m alpha. This appeals to my inner primate.
Alas, the veil has been lifted and Trump is nothing more than Hillary with a penis.
MOAR troops are heading to Afghanistan — because nothing says ‘winning’ like fighting and dying for poppy fields in the literal asshole of the planet.
Washpo is reporting as many as 3,000 Americans will be sent to protect the heroin lands of Afghanistan. NBC says 5,000 and a request for NATO, Trump’s new besties, to match it.
A U.S. official told The Post that Trump wants to “start winning” again and has the backing of top Cabinet officials. He is expected to make his mind up on strategy before attending a May 25 NATO summit in Brussels, the newspaper reported.
One senior administration source told NBC News a decision would happen “soon.”
Let’s revisit some wistful propaganda, shall we?
Let’s get out of Afghanistan. Our troops are being killed by the Afghanis we train and we waste billions there. Nonsense! Rebuild the USA.
If this blog was about Trump or Obama, the comments section would quickly fill with shills telling me how wrong or right I am.
But since I’m broaching the subject of trading, all of you faggots will remain silent. And then you have the stones to give me a hard time about news blogging.
You’re god damned monsters.
At any rate, what is your favorite trading strategy? I’m doing some research and want to know what the layman, housing tenement, miscreant does with his money.
No models will be laughed at. I eagerly await your fucking comments.
I had a discussion about Bitcoins the other day, while at a Derby party. One of the lads there was a ‘miner’, not in the traditional sense — but for bitcoins. Even an old man there thought bitcoins were heading higher — due to its transfer value.
I tried to convince the others that it was a ‘fucking scam’ and that it was nothing more than ‘horseshit’ designed to obscure chinese money laundering. I further illuminated the fact that bitcoin ATMs in ‘horrible denizens of perfidy’ in Brooklyn could only signal that the ‘end was near’ and that very soon ‘the four horsemen of certain death’ would visit them.
Boy was I wrong.
Bitcoins have broken out above $1,700, now higher by yet another 5.5%. Fucking lunacy.
In other news, I am developing some quant based models for Exodus and will soon have something to unveil. I’ll be traveling today — so bloggeries might be scarce.
