Elizabeth Warren: Disastrous Obamacare Is Why We Lost The Election

Yesterday, an angrily pointing Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) told a bunch of rich liberals that Obamacare “wasn’t bold enough” and hurt middle class / working families.

Warren said that Democrats were not able to effectively tell voters that they were fighting for the little guy after making compromises on Obamacare” –Bahston Globe

Translation: Hey dipshits, you know that fucked up Affordable Care Act that White House frequenting, convicted Felon, and DNC birddogging mastermind Robert Creamer wrote in prison? The one that’s a total handout to the health insurance industry but fucks over voters? Yeah, it sucks. People are posting pictures of their fucked up premium increases all over the internet, and they’re PISSED. Oh, and they saw that Michael Moore speech which MADE IT WORSE!

Elizabeth, that’s true. You should have also mentioned that your party decided to nominate a neoconservative masquerading as a liberal, acting on behalf of the Saudi Kingdom, who was about to lead us into thermonuclear war with Russia over a pipeline.

Watching people like Warren try and explain what just happened is truly the gift that keeps on giving. You can tell she just wants to unleash with truth, ignoring that little burning coal of ambition that gets in the way of career suicide.

Home Depot Beats, Guides Up $HD

In what is quickly becoming the season of Orange wins, shares of Home Depot are up moderately in pre-market trading (basically recouping yesterday’s sell-off) as the retail giant posted earnings of $1.60/share on sales of $23.2 billion, topping analysts’ expectations of $1.58 / $23.05 billion. The lads at Home Depot also reaffirmed their full-year guidance and upped their 2016 earnings forecast. Same store sales were up 5.5% year/year (4.4% est.), and comparable sales were up 5.9%.

From a seasonality perspective,  found inside of Exodus, Home Depot has been up an average of 6.1% in November, 80% of the time (using 35 months of data). Of note, HD is already up 6.16% month-to-date. December’s stats are less reliable, with an average return of 5.63%, just 67% of the time, and January is consistently flat.

hdseasonality

That said, don’t forget to factor in all the latent testosterone President Trump will unlock inside men across America. Decks will be stained, drywall will be patched, carpets will be torn up, beards will get paint on them as hipsters take on all the projects daddy Trump inspire them to complete. Craft beer sales will skyrocket. All of this extra manly productivity will lead to a huge increase in the birth rate, and the future of America will be safe.

Reuters Caught Changing Headline And Article Within Hours Of Breaking Dimon Story

Three days ago, Reuters broke the news that Jamie Dimon had been directly contacted by the Trump campaign to run the Treasury. The headline, which remains in their original tweet, was “Trump team contacted JPMorgan’s Dimon for Treasury role” (here’s a screenshot in case they delete it).

The original article begins:

A senior person on President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team contacted JPMorgan Chase & Co Chief Executive Jamie Dimon to see if he would be interested in being U.S. Treasury secretary, a person familiar with the matter said on Thursday.

It is unclear how Dimon responded, said the person, who was not authorized to speak publicly. Dimon has said multiple times in the past that he is not interested in the job – most recently in September.

While doing research to follow up, I discovered that exactly FOUR hours and 30 minutes after breaking the Dimon story, Reuters sent out a NEW tweet with a totally different headline and article (which was regurgitated on Fortune’s website).

OF NOTE: The original article is GONE from the Reuters website (or at least I can’t find it), and the link in the original tweet redirects to the new article. Let’s compare and contrast:

dimonnopeEmphatically!

I found a copy of the original article as it was slapped up on RawStory before the change. Note how author Dan Freed, former Senior Writer for TheStreet.com, goes on to point out that while Trump was critical of Wall Street, his closest advisors include “several hedge fund executives, investors and former bankers.” BURN!

rawstory

The next day, Reuters tweets some stupid interactive “Economic Dream Team” thing which no longer lets you choose Dimon, to let it be known that Jeb Hensarling is a serious contender for the role. Click the link in the tweet below and check it out.

I wonder what happened? Perhaps old men in wood paneled rooms at the House of Morgan had their butler hand the oldest one a still operational antique telephone for an angry call to Reuters? Was Dan Freed madly re-writing the article on his iPhone from the Reuters bathroom while taking a panic shit? If so, let’s not be mad at Dan for what was likely a direct order from someone who drives a much nicer car. A tin foil thought though; What if Dan wrote the first version to make it look like Trump sold out to the establishment, and that angry phone call was from one of Donald Trump’s lawyers?

Whatever the case, Reuters’ dramatic shift in tone from the original article is both stunning and journalistically dishonest.

CABINET WATCH: GOP Chair Reince Priebus Tapped As Trump’s Chief Of Staff, Breitbart’s Bannon As Senior Strategist

Long gone are the days when Donald Trump was telling the GOP to get fucked. Old wounds, such as the Grand Old Party utterly rejecting Trump and trying to meddle with obscure delegate rules (Colorado / Arkansas) to find a way around having to eat a Trump cake, have been healed. The cake has been dispensed bitches.

Reince “God Bless, Thank God” Priebus, chair of the GOP, with his obvious man crush on Donald Trump, has just been named Trump’s Chief of Staff. Check out this love fest from Trump’s acceptance speech:

Now is that the look of a man who knows he’s about to become a Chief of Staff or WHAT?

Along with picking Priebus, Breitbart’s Steve Bannon – Trump’s campaign chairman, will be one of Trump’s senior strategists – a move sure to rub RINOs the wrong way (weasely bitch Paul Ryan hates Bannon). I like the Bannon pick. Not only is he’s going to be able to run interference on establishment tactics to coopt Trump,  he can probably phone the tip line at Breitbart to call bullshit on stories that would otherwise go unreported by the entire fucking MSM syndicate that actively campaigned against Trump.

60 Minutes Tonight: Trump To Immediately Deport 2-3 Million Undocumented Criminals

screen-shot-2015-07-12-at-4-59-36-pm-640x419

In tonight’s episode of 60 Minutes, President Elect Trump provides further insight into the mechanics of his highly controversial immigration policy, pledging to immediately round up and deport 2 – 3 million undocumented criminals upon taking office in January. Per CBS:

“What we are going to do is get the people that are criminal and have criminal records, gang members, drug dealers, where a lot of these people, probably two million, it could be even three million, we are getting them out of our country or we are going to incarcerate,” Trump said in an interview with CBS’ “60 Minutes.” “But we’re getting them out of our country, they’re here illegally.”

Perhaps in an effort to quell violence and fear stoked by paid #SorosRiots, Trump is also taking a “wait and see” approach on the rest of his immigration policy.

after the border is “secure,” immigration officials will begin to make a “determination” about the remaining undocumented immigrants in the U.S.

Trump’s immigration declarations face several hurdles; legal, logistical, and human rights. During a conversation yesterday with iBC reader “Trader Confessions,” I suggested The Don might back away from his hard line campaign trail rhetoric:

The problem Trump faces is minorities who are afraid right now, and other minorities who see that and can identify with feeling persecuted and fucked with by authority. You can’t just start ripping families apart and kicking people out of the country. Really bad optics, and could spark a race war for reals. My bet is that Trump is going to compromise on his immigration platform within the next month (week, if he’s smart), granting “extra close watch” amnesty to illegals with adorable doe eyed kids and their non-violent family members living with them. Then he’ll appease his base by rolling out operation “Safe Neighborhood Watch” where task forces go kick down doors to haul away illegal bachelors and gang members in major cities. Trump will make a public spectacle of busing them down to Honduras or something, and I’m sure he’ll notify all of the appropriate drug lords in advance.

Looks like Trump is doing both; Law and Order for undocumented criminals, while softening his rhetoric to a “wait and see” on the rest of his immigration policy.

I’m OK with that.

Rick Ross Calls For Trump Assassination

The tolerant left is thinking dark thoughts about Donald Trump. In addition to destroying their own towns and beating the shit out of Trump supporters, like assholes, calls for Trump’s assassination have been working their way through social media, all the way to mainstream entertainment.

Here’s Rick Ross, whose fucking ankle bracelet went off while hanging out with President Obama at the White House, mouthing “Assassinate Trump like I’m Zimmerman”

Apparently the “Kill Trump” wing of the tolerant left includes Facebook. Here they are (several months ago) letting a user know that an “Assassinate Donald Trump” hate group is A-OK.

6bahuo0

And what are we starting to see on Twitter? #WithHer supporters all over the place calling for Trump’s assassination:

3a3c68ec00000578-3924052-image-a-18_1478789976662 3a3c68f800000578-3924052-image-a-21_1478789991960 3a3c691800000578-3924052-image-a-11_1478789934501 3a3c693c00000578-3924052-image-a-13_1478789942991 3a3c690200000578-3924052-image-a-14_1478789949387 3a3c692400000578-3924052-image-a-15_1478789953784

First of all, don’t these morons know they can get in serious trouble for this shit? A California man was thrown in a halfway house for 60 days right before the 2008 election when he posted (regarding Obama) “he will have a .50 cal in the head soon” on a Yahoo message board. He would have likely gone to prison if a jury hadn’t determined he didn’t intend on actually doing it. Regardless, the Secret Service does not fuck around.

Given the spate of violent, hate fueled protests going on around the country, and people now calling for Trump’s assassination, I have to wonder why we aren’t hearing a peep out of leadership on the left denouncing these heinous acts of hatred and bigotry, starting with Obama. And while this trend is obviously a minority of #WithHer voters calling for Trump’s death, there are violent protests happening right now, and it’s crickets from the party that apparently forgot how to act like human beings.

Trump Voter Viciously Beaten By Racist Thugs Speaks Out As #SorosRiots Erupt Across Country

On Thursday Fly brought you shocking video of a violent encounter between vicious Hillary fans and an older Trump supporter, David Wilcox, in which they beat Wilcox senseless and stole his fucking car.

The Chicago Tribune caught up with the very banged up Wilcox who shared his side of the encounter.

What the fuck is going on? Hillary supporters across the country are losing their shit and getting violent with Trump fans. Even students in very the liberal, affluent, and apparently very intolerant town of Woodside, CA beat up a classmate for supporting Trump (this video keeps getting taken down by YouTube, so I will update with a mirror if needed).

The hits just keep on coming! A 23 year old “Anti-Bullying Ambassador” was arrested yesterday at Trump tower for shoving a 74 year old man to the ground.

3a42449a00000578-3927716-image-a-75_1478880568482

And a man in San Jose, CA was beaten for walking out of an establishment with a Trump sign:

These protestors, with their tens of thousands of professionally printed signs, and their craigslist ads for paid agitators, are anything but tolerant. If dark forces are funding paid agitators to amplify and turn violent otherwise peaceful protests (*cough*Arab Spring?), we need to get to the bottom of it and take down all involved. Hell, manipulating protests so that they become deadly is right out of the establishment playbook for meddling with contentious elections.

“The U.S. State Department under the leadership of Secretary Hillary Clinton continued a program to embolden foreign, revolutionary, social media activists to agitate for regime change in various parts of the world. The program arguably had major, detrimental consequences for the trajectory of the Middle East.”

Even President-Elect Trump weighed in:

It should come as no surprise that Soros, the man with the evil roadmap for America, who gave $33 Million in one year to fund activist groups, including $650,000 to fund the highly organized BLM movement, is intimately involved in this manufactured and amplified backlash against Trump. Many of these groups have legitimate grievances to air, however the line between peaceful protest and violent movement is consistently being crossed, and the hate and vitriol behind their message is bringing out the worst in people.

Maybe they’ll keep turning on each other after drinking too much haterade.

Trump To Keep Obamacare Clauses?

Today President-Elect Donald Trump told the Wall St. Journal that he likes two clauses in Obamacare “very much,” praising the following components of Obama’s disastrous crowning achievement in the ongoing mugging of middle class wallets:

  • The ban on insurers denying coverage for pre-existing conditions

  • Provision allowing children to be insured on their parents’ policies

I agree 100%, as obese basement dwelling 26 year old hypochondriac snowflakes across the land will be able to see a psychiatrist to cope with the debilitating triggering epidemic we face today.

Per the WSJ:

In his first interview since his election earlier this week, Mr. Trump said one priority was moving “quickly” on the president’s signature health initiative, which he argued has become so unworkable and expensive that “you can’t use it.”

Yet, Mr. Trump also showed a willingness to preserve at least two provisions of the health law after the president asked him to reconsider repealing it during their meeting at the White House on Thursday

Mr. Trump said he favors keeping the prohibition against insurers denying coverage because of patients’ existing conditions, and a provision that allows parents to provide years of additional coverage for children on their insurance policies.

During the interview, Trump also distanced himself from his campaign promise of a strict “Repeal,” by adding:

“Either Obamacare will be amended, or repealed and replaced.”

Is this capitulation, or is the 20,000 page legal behemoth known as Obamacare looking a bit difficult to untangle?

You’re Fired: Christie OUT, Pence IN To Lead Transition Team

Mike Pence and Jeff Sessions will replace Chris Christie as shot callers within Trump’s transition team. Whether this is because of the optics surrounding the ever smoldering Bridgegate Scandal, or because Christie always takes two sandwiches in meetings, is unclear.

Christie, as reported by the Washington Examiner, “will shift from leader of the transition team to a vice chair alongside Rudy Giuliani”

The changes come as Trump prepares to fill the most consequential roles in his administration. The people who hold top White House staff positions, such as chief of staff, communications director, national security adviser and press secretary, wield enormous influence over the president’s agenda and the operation of the government.

Mayhaps the Orange Merlin, Slayer of Saudi Agents and other pay-for-play puppets, isn’t so broken up over the prospect of New Jersey “Biff from Back to the Future” having to take a knee over his dick-move bridge closing legacy.

Chuck Schumer: TPP IS DEAD

Chuck Schumer, Sith Lord level Democrat and cousin of soon to be Canadian Amy Schumer, just announced that the TPP will not be ratified by Congress.

TPP IS DEAD

Yes, the job destroying, globalist enriching, secretively created, octopus feeding partnership that was to be Obama’s crowning achievement in his mission to destroy America – IS DEAD.

Per the Washington Post:

Obama’s signature global trade deal had been on life support for months as both Democrats and Republicans campaigned against unfair trade policies ahead of the Nov. 8 election. And Donald Trump’s triumph in the presidential race cemented its fate.

“There is no way to fix the TPP,” Trump said in a June economic address. “We need bilateral trade deals. We do not need to enter into another massive international agreement that ties us up and binds us down.”

Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) expounds:

“I think the president-elect made it pretty clear he was not in favor of the current agreement,” McConnell said. “But he has the latitude because [congressional negotiating authority] is in place through the next administration to negotiate better deals, as I think he would put it, if he chooses to.”

MEGA RINO bitch and alleged Trump Tape leaker Paul Ryan (RINO-Wis) simply said:

“the votes aren’t there”

Eat a dick Paul Ryan.

Let’s quickly review the last 48 hours:

  • Looks like we’re not going to engage in direct conflict with Russia over a pipeline through Syria
  • The President of the Philippines no longer hates our guts
  • TPP is dead
  • Kanye West and Kim are LEAVING!

So far so good. The Octopus has been slowed down, but there is still much to be done.
