Dow hits all-time high as fired FBI director Comey testifies before U.S. Senate committee

“While many investors on Thursday were laser-focused on fired FBI Director James Comey’s testimony before the Senate intelligence committee, the U.S. stock market indices rose; the Dow rose to an all-time high, and the S&P 500 was in striking distance of its all-time high,” Rebecca Ungarino reports for CNBC. “Some say the market could be primed for a significant rally.”

“In a Thursday morning note to clients, Raymond James chief investment strategist Jeffrey Saut wrote that unless there is some kind of ‘headline shock’ in the forthcoming trading sessions, ‘we think the downside is contained and that the stage is being set for another leg to the upside,'” Ungarino reports.

“Political tension will likely continue as a ‘cloud’ over Washington, and this is a bigger problem than many people realize, wrote Miller Tabak equity strategist Matt Maley in a note to clients Thursday morning,” Ungarino reports. “‘Unless Comey drops a complete bomb shell … or crude oil begins to crash … the odds are pretty good that the stock markets will remain quiet until we hear from Janet Yellen next week,'” he wrote.”

      1. ha ha ha. Dirty Comey. At first I thought that was an excellent complement, referencing Comey as the American vigilante we all know and love: Clint Eastwood as “Dirty Harry”.

        But then I realized it was from botvinnik …so I knew there was absolutely nothing complementary intended.

        1. So sorry, professor. I forgot that this website, and especially your fine posts, have such high literary and editorial standards. Thank you for calling out my typo. I’ll never drink and post again.

      2. May 3rd:

        Grassley: Director Comey, have you ever been the anonymous source of news reports about matters relating to the Trump investigation or the Clinton investigation?

        Dirty Comey: Never.

        PERJURY.

        1. Absolutely and this should be BREAKING NEWS on every media organization in the world.

          But you and I know the OBJECTIVE, non-partisan media has been DEAD since Uncle Walt …

        2. You guys — you could be the same person — are sore the a special investigator has been appointed to look into Trump dishonesty, un-American activity, and selling the US out to Russia.

          But if you are sooooo sure Trump is not guilty, what are you worried about ?

        3. “Donald’s Silver Hammer”

          Moochelle and Valerie screaming from the gallery
          “Obama must go free!”
          The judge does not agree
          and the tells them so-oh-oh…

          just a matter of time, Muslim Usurper, just a matter of time.

        4. “…somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout; but there is no joy in Swampville; mighty Comey has struck out.”

        5. “It is associated with joy, sunshine, and the tropics. Orange represents enthusiasm, fascination, happiness, creativity, determination, attraction, success, encouragement, and stimulation. To the human eye, orange is a very hot color, so it gives the sensation of heat. Nevertheless, orange is not as aggressive as red.”

        6. Citizen X-Con: essentially, it is this: the president fired a dirty cop…those who the dirty cop protected are now vulnerable to prosecution.

          “elections have consequences.”

        7. I guess you have to be reminded that the head of the FBI felt so wrong after a meeting with the president that he had to go write it down to protect himself.

          You can deflect all you want. Deal with that. Tell me what universe is this something that is normal and something you accept.

          Bots daughter:
          Daddy, I just met the (insert authority figure here) and felt so sleazy I made notes cause he was acting like a sexual predator

          Bot
          Oh honey, it’s just you.

        8. I have nothing intelligent to say to an immature POS poster dying for attention that thinks VOLUME OF POSTS ACTUALLY MEANS SOMETHING.

          Facts and truth mean something. Not your CHILDISH VULGARITY and PERSONAL ATTACKS that amounts to the biggest ZERO on MDN.

          Have a nice day, BRAINLESS… 😈

        9. Since this is a tech site, I will point out the BREAKING NEWS about a nifty new invention. It is called a “calendar.”

          According to my copy of this marvelous innovation, May 3 (when Comey testified under oath that he had never been an anonymous source) came before May 9, when Comey was fired. That, in turn, happened before May 12, when POTUS threatened Comey with the release of “tapes,” which motivated Comey to leak material that was published on May 16.

          OBJECTIVE fact: You can’t be charged with perjury unless you lie, and you can’t lie about something that hasn’t happened yet.

        10. I did read it. If that is the best case, there is no case.

          The statute he cited does not apply because nobody can “knowingly affirm as true something he believes not to be true” when their testimony is objectively true at the time it is given. Do you have any proof whatever that Comey had leaked something prior to his testimony on May 3?

          If not, you cannot prove he committed perjury on that date. Recklessly claiming that he committed a crime without any reasonable basis for the statement may open you up to legal action for defamation. Good thing you’re anonymous!

          Director Comey certainly did leak certain information sometime prior to its publication on May 16, but so what? Other laws might apply, but certainly not perjury. The question Senator Grassley asked related to events prior to May 3; note the use of the past tense.

          In his only sworn testimony after May 12, Comey freely admitted leaking information in response to the President’s threat on that date, so the former Director didn’t commit perjury then, either.

          I have retired, so I am not in a position to offer a legal opinion about your mental state, but your inability to grasp simple facts does remind me of some of the folks I met in thirty years of doing mental commitments.

        11. Now you’ve gone to mental examiner? 😆

          Let’s see.

          FAKE conservative.

          FAKE prosecutor. And now, drum roll please…

          FAKE mental examiner!

          What’s next, PreDrag?

          Botty has more credibility on this issue than you do, sorry … 🤔

        12. In addition:

          “I have retired, so I am not in a position to offer a legal opinion about your mental state, but your inability to grasp simple facts does remind me of some of the folks I met in thirty years of doing mental commitments.”

          I am really tired of a continuous lecturing litany, TX user. User to give you red state COVER from working for the Democrat Party. Your listing of numerous FAKE anonymous credentials that go unchecked are negated when your own writings betray you in most of your posts.

          And lastly (your words above) I don’t appreciate when you go OFF TOPIC to denigrate me personally, time and time again. You have a serious problem and you need to seek professional help.

          If you can’t confine your comments and discipline yourself to remain on point, on topic, then I ask you don’t respond …

        13. If you do not want to be called out for saying stupid things, then stop saying stupid things. Or, if you do want to spew inane bullshit on a pubic website, don’t be surprised to be called out for it.

        14. “ooooo. Tough guy when posting, Crybaby when called out…”

          Well, well, well. The second anonymous poster born in a week specifically created to STALK GoeB. Who is the crybaby, again? 😈

          I have to give you credit for being half right. As the brilliant historical linguist and poetic poster @herself pointed out to me many months ago, it’s called TOUGH LOVE.

          But I also like puppies, walks on the beach, campfires, butterflies and beautiful babies. 😊

          I have no problem being called out on the FACTS ONLY. Not interpretation, not Libtard stupidity and not mindless political party talking points.

          TXuser continues a bad habit of personal attacks on character according to his fantasy misperceptions which have nothing to do with reality. Prosecutor my arse!

          Argue the FACTS, without the ATTACKS!

          Got it, brainless? Now go crawl back into the black hole you created for yourself today … 👊🏻🤕

        15. When botvinick accused Comey of perjury, that became the topic. Responding to him was not off-topic. Stating that you cannot be convicted of lying under oath when your testimony was true at the time it was given is not an opinion. It is a fact.

          Your alleged inability to recognize that simple fact is likewise a fact and not an opinion. I offered a possible explanation for that fact—that you have somehow lost touch with reality. Yes, that was an opinion, but one well supported by facts. Nothing that I said was off-topic. I only reflected on your character after you had repeatedly accused me of lying about myself and my personal history.

          Since I doubt anybody else is still reading this thread, you can answer this, just between us. What is your answer to the question I have asked at least four or five times now: how can somebody lie about something that hasn’t happened yet?

        16. Tedious word salad. I don’t appreciate your numerous made up fake post responses. That said, truth will come out.

          But not from a FAKE CONSERVATIVE…

        17. “in any declaration, certificate, verification, or statement under penalty of perjury as permitted under section 1746 of title 28, United States Code, willfully subscribes as true any material matter which he does not believe to be true; is guilty of perjury and shall, except as otherwise expressly provided by law, be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both. This section is applicable whether the statement or subscription is made within or without the United States.”

          the fired chief federal law enforcement officer of US needs to be indicted immediately.

          https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1621

        18. Your legal citation would only apply to this case if we lived in the world of “Majority Report,” where people can be charged with crimes they haven’t committed yet. How could Director Comey lie about something on May 3 that didn’t happen until after May 12?

        19. I may be stupid, but that doesn’t answer my question. How can a statement on May 3 constitute perjury about something that had not happened yet and would not happen until at least the 12th?

        20. OMG. Oh My Gawd. You just proved that Comey is a complete and utter liar! He is just like Trump ! He most certainly cannot be trusted.

          You will win the Pulitzer prize for excellent investigatory journalism. You have such a brilliant and penetrating mind.

    1. Hey bot. Want another story.

      Christmas 1983 Apple IIe promotion. Mom and dad buy the family an Apple IIe, 2 drives, monitor and printer. They could then come to our computer camp in Beaverton, OR. Circus themed. Bring the family, have a great time.

      We were so awesome the promotion had a caveat. You could not open your computer until you got to the computer camp because we wanted this fun camp to teach you everything about your new purchase. The whole family was invited. The computer camp was February 11th.

      Almost all of these customers didn’t open their computers for over a month waiting for the camp. Many of them came from the Puget Sound area to Beaverton. A good time was had by all.

      I got more stories if you’d like. All of them while I and other pioneers and visionaries built the PC business from the ground up.

      A

    2. See, I’ve made my mark on the world. unlike you unless you count the skid marks in your underwear.

      Lets see that quote again…

      In 1984 or so, upstairs in our offices at 2030 Fifth Ave in Seattle, Oscar told me the future of computers was as a communications device more than as a computational device. As someone who had just learned Lotus 123, this came a quite a shock. But as usual, Oscar was right and the rest of us were just too slow to see what was obvious to him. And with that he hooked up our first LAN, and I started down a path that I continue to this day. Thanks for the tip, Oscar.

      You can tell the pioneers by the arrows in their back.

    3. Oh botvinnik . I just thought of something. Trivia. Have you ever seeen War Games? We sponsored it in the theaters in the Puget Sound and Portland areas with an Apple II in the lobby running their demo.

      I almost made it into the film. The part where they are at the computer show. They filmed us during production. Decided not to use the footage. Damn.

      I did use to meet regurlarly with the geeks in the computer lab though. Had a Unix account with the University Of Washington. I wasn’t a student but since I was selling them their equipment (Soroc IQ-120’s and Apples, and you get my drift) they gave me an account.

      Anyway, since you don’t want to see Compukids, you almost saw me in War Games.

      Trivia.

      1. My oldest email account is from 1981. I can’t remember what it was. I think it was gandalf@ or maybe strider@. Could have been from the Source or maybe Compuserve. Connected to Citibanks banking computer once. Ack. Pretty much logged off immediately.

        Sold an Atari 800 Computer with 2 disk drives to some professors from the People’s School of Forestry in Nanking China. They had to have a ships Captain put it in his cabin to “export” it. It was a munition.

        I had a phone bill of 133 dollars on 1981 dollars trying to connect my Atari 800 to another owner in New Jersey. Just got an expansion module so I could connect a modem. Had a Hayes 300 baud modem. Wanted to connect our 2 computers. Sigh. Didn’t work, no matter what we tried.

        Gave a school a real good price on an Atari 800 computer and 2 disk. Basically cost. They were in Unalaska, Alaska. Surprisingly, UPS could deliver there. Unulaska, AK. They scraped together the funds from community contributions to buy this and called me. Socialism at work.

    4. Leaker Comey (gave confidential notes to a friend to LEAK to the NYT seeking an independent counsel now headed by his buddy)

      Snowflake Comey (“if I were stronger”).

      Political Comey (not an investigation, a “matter”)

      Bogeyman Comey (Russia attempted to infiltrate the presidential election, but, but, but, testifies Russia did not change a single vote)

      Partisan Comey (Hilliary is cleared for prosecution, never declared publicly until today that President Trump is NOT the subject of an FBI investigation, unequal)

      Ineffective Comey (no indictments, no conclusions, no closure of work spanning a year) …

      1. Oh geob… Let’s just put on your thinking cap for just a minute.

        The head of the FBI feels that the guy he is dealing with (the president) is so sleazy and probably committing a crime, that he writes up some memos and distributes (he did not use the word leak) them to the press to PROTECT HIMSELF FROM SAID PERSON LYING ABOUT THE INCIDENT.

        Ahem.

        1. But Comey never tried to make the entire USA a vassal of Putin’s Russia, like Trump, his family, and all the idiotic Republicans in dark suits are trying to do.

          botvinnik, GoeB, Dean Clark, et al — you are all Russian hacker trolls, right? You and your buddies are paid by the Russian army (or whoever) to troll dozens, hundreds, maybe even thousands of blogs and websites in the US, talking up Trump and trash-talking anyone with any other sentiment.

          You are also very keen on Big Oil & Gas …which, incidentally, Russia sells a lot of. (And not much else, besides.)

          Hello, hello NSA? FBI? CIA? Please subpeona web records for all the Russian trolls like these guys who have infected this website — and no doubt many others, besides — as part of their plan to sway public American opinion to put in a puppet government friendly to Russia’s authoritarian dictator.

        2. So sorry to read all the HATE you and CX have for people who don’t agree with you.

          While your party has lost a record number of seats the last eight years and has a nut job to lead the DNC and still can’t figure out a winning strategy — in the immortal words of Bill Clinton, “I feel you pain.” …

        3. So pathetically weak. So your final drowning rational for your defenseless position is that enough fucked up racist, got off their recliners, in 3 states to elect a, I’ll be kind, incompetent sexual predator boob as presdident.

          Thats your final offer?

        4. Except I am quite serious. I have been a Republican most of my life. I am a fiscal conservative. But the Republican Party has been drifting away from its core principle, policies, beliefs, and supporters for decades. Today’s Republican Party is unrecognized to many long-standing Republicans. The Party today embraces evangelical extremism, racism, & xenophobia; it rejects modern science, and curries favor to the wealthy at the expense of taking steps to remedy poverty. It also willingly abuses the environment — it will probably surprise many Republicans today that most of our tough and effective environmental regulations were enacted by Republican administrations. So, ya, I am quite serious: I have been a Republican most of my life. But not now…

        5. Yep. We have reached the stage where there aren’t any republicans or at least admitted republicans. Saw the same thing happen with W.

          Pretty soon you won’t be able to find anybody that voted for the sexual predator.

        6. “lost a record number of seats the last eight years”

          There is no accounting for racism. How hard was it to have to tell your sister/wife that she would have to forgo another pabst so you would have enough to get to the polling place because you hated that black guy so much you were going to vote for the first time and for a sexual predator at that?

    1. The bigger wit*h is AG Lynch who pressured Comey to define investigation of Shrillary as a “matter.” The same words used on her campaign trail.

      Then met with Bill Clinton in secret on a plane to discuss grandchildren she does not have.

      Obstruction of justice, anyone? If not, certainly partisan pressure on public officials to work for the Democrat team.

      Libtard heads faced with inconvient facts heads to explode in 3… 2… 1…

  1. The assumption of the critics of the president, of his pursuers, you might say, is that somewhere along the line in the last year is the president had something to do with colluding with the Russians … to affect the election in some way. And yet what came apart this morning was that theory. Flynn wasn’t central to the Russian investigation. [That kills the idea that Flynn might have been in a position to testify against Trump.] And if that’s not the case, where’s the there-there? – Dem/Lib/Prog MSNBC host Chris Matthews, June 8, 2017

    1. The media/establishment describe the supposed hacking of the DNC as “a historical attack on democracy”, “election meddling” or something similar. Those phrases are their Orwellian reframing for the exposure of the corruption within the DNC. By the way, so far not only there is no evidence that the Russian government has carried out/ordered the “hacking”, but also anyone from Russia at all, and even the very fact that there was a successful hacking is not confirmed. The only source for the bulk of the “evidence” is “pay-to-attribute” contractor CrowdStrike with a history of questionable claims that was hired by the DNC that has also repeatedly banned real investigators from accessing their network and servers.

      CrowdStrike tries to make you believe that the Russian government/military intelligence (the “GRU”) would use serially implicated “hacking groups” that use the biggest Russian mail service Yandex for their operations as well as sign their edits by the name of the founder of the KGB. Yes, you have to believe in this caricature of “evidence”. At the same time, Wikileaks’ staff has been claiming from very beginning (former ambassador of the UK) that they got the data from a leaker within the DNC.

      1. I really don’t see why there’s so much effort from the conservative side to “fight” this story. Get focused on getting that overseas money back into this country, that’s where you put your energy. I mean, think about it, even if it WAS proven to be 100% true, what difference would it make? A Republican House and Senate wouldn’t prosecute anyway and NO one wants to see a President Pence. And, there’s not a single one of his supporters that would be bothered by a direct connection between Trump and Russians. Just blow the media’s mind completely by tweeting:

        “Yeah, I had help from my friends, so what?”

    2. You are cherry-picking your arguments and your media citations. Moreover, there is no reason to cite any particular media source because you can actually hear the words Comey himself used.

      If you heard what Comey actually said, there is no uncertainty Russia conducted focused, active, expensive, highly organized, technical attacks in attempts to influence the US Presidential election and, moreover, they did this as a hostile nation against the US government. It has worked for Russia in other countries; just look at some of the puppets Putin has managed to “help get elected” in various former Soviet satellites. It is a pattern.

      The only reasons that anyone could possibly be okay with this is if they look with disdain and contempt on the democratic experiment that is the USA, in favor of the authoritarian dictatorship that is Putin’s Russia.

      You, Sir, are one of the latter.

      1. Yep. They tRumpanzees will fight tooth and nail to defend the lying sexual predator traitor occupying the white house rather than admit that they put their faith in a clown. In a clown car. And they don’t even get to watch a bunch of clowns climb out.

        1. What you say would be bad enough — if they were simply being chimps and clowns. But they are actually trying to subvert the US government so we are a puppet of Russian. They want to hand the USA over to Putin. I cannot see any red-blooded American being okay with that.

        2. I don’t understand it either. Then again, I didn’t expect that the rabid alleged christians would vote for a sexual predator for president.

          But we know why. A Black Man dared to be President and keep the country from collapsing.

      2. You neglected to mention in Comey’s testimony he clearly stated — ZERO evidence was found by U.S. Intelligence Agencies of the Russians changing a SINGLE vote at the ballot box.

        Please go on with your selective obfuscation …

        1. Russia did not need to change any votes in the election booths.

          Because they swayed American public opinion in advance of the election. They persuaded many Americans, through public opinion and sentiment, based on Fake News — the very same thing Trump and his pals pretend to argue — to vote for Trump.

        2. Did you hear Comey testify that U.S. intelligence agencies HAVE ZERO EVIDENCE RUSSIA CHANGED A SINGLE VOTE AT THE BALLOT BOX?

          You push guilt by association. I push factual testimony. I win … 😆

        3. No one has said that. Why are you arguing against a non fact. The fact is that simple minded fools like yourself, were swayed through propaganda in the final weeks of the election to follow a foul mouthed, racist, misogynistic, incompetent boob who was an admitted sexual predator and to vote for him.

          Poor, poor geo. Trying so hard to remain relevant and collect his deflection points.

      1. Meltdown? No Teflon pants? 🐂💩!

        Trump did not just waltz into the presidency without opposition from a record billion dollar war chest, majority of media, unions and Hollywood non-stop opposition. Continues until today.

        And your calling him a snowflake?

        I have never witnessed a public person in my life with relentless and vitriol opposition from all sides on a daily basis for over a year remain not intimidated and sticking to his vision for America.

        If that’s not Teflon pants — NOTHING IS …

        1. You continue to make the same mistake over and over post after post.

          Your HATE FILLED and STEREOTYPICAL diatribes amount to absolutely NOTHING.

          Got it, good.

        2. So two terms of Obama being pilloried with laughable accusations of ‘birther Muslim usurper’ conspiracy nonsense didn’t happen?
          What a whingeing twat you are.
          Your baboon hero has no class, no shame and no clothes. And his supporters?….Pathetic, compliant and unquestioning, delusionally worshipping a toad in a gilded cage, intent on flushing your rights down the crapper along with America’s hard won international standing, whilst stealing the contents of your pocket and feathering the nests of his own billionaire swamp buddies.
          You got own3d. You’re toast. Your future is the tainted meat in a sociopath sandwich of ill-educated despair.
          The orange comb-over git will squeal like a speared hog before the year is out.
          Bet on it.

        3. Lookie here boys and girls: Streaming UNconscious of insults, vulgarity, wishful thinking, revisionist history, stereotypes, hyperbole and blind partisanship RANTING — to name a few.

          Bet on this. You did not dispute ONE WORD of my response — GOTCHA! 😆

        4. Just as I thought…dumber than a gatepost. What points are there to answer? You didn’t make any, brainlessly parroting big game slaughterer trumpy junior’s Sean Hannity cry-baby whingeing meltdown is not making a point other than your inability to think for yourself.
          Apologies to gateposts.
          #kakistocracy

        5. I neglected to mention, sorry.

          Please, do anything you can to keep up your mindless ranting posts. You are a shining and sterling example of the present day Democrat Party.

          Thanks in advance …

    3. Pick and choose your quotes. I see you’ve hidden the elephant in the room, the one up tRump’s ass and yours. Obstructing justice. This was not about collusion. This was about the sexual predator, russian mole occupying the white house that tried to obstruct justice.

      Sheesh. 2014. Try to keep up.

        1. How old are you goe… 15…. or still living in your parents basement?

          By the way. Not going to put the joint down. I have a better idea. Open your mind as much as your sphinchter muscle is open to tRumps member and you will be fine. I have some orange sunshine that will help with that getting your mind open to reality.

      1. You are right, GoeB: no media has reported that Trump’s pants are actually on fire. But they have been reporting Trumps lies and falsehoods, and pussy-grabbing headlines ad nauseam for 140 days now. But you are right, Trumps pants are really NOT on fire !

        1. That’s more than fair.

          The media is out of their minds and greatly exaggerates Trump’s every move. No president in history has been under such intense scrutiny day in and day out.

          Don’t know if read the Harvard study that found over 80% of Trump’s media coverage is negative, the highest ever recorded. And the guy doesn’t lose a step … remarkable. 👍🏻🇺🇸

  2. Comey confirmed that under our Constitution, the president has the authority to direct the FBI to stop investigating any individual. I paraphrase, because the transcript is not yet available: the president can, in theory, decide who to investigate, who to stop investigating, who to prosecute and who not to prosecute. The president is the head of the unified executive branch of government, and the Justice Department and the FBI work under him and he may order them to do what he wishes.

    As a matter of law, Comey is 100 percent correct. As I have long argued, and as Comey confirmed in his written statement, our history shows that many presidents—from Adams to Jefferson, to Lincoln, to Roosevelt, to Kennedy, to Bush 1, and to Obama – have directed the Justice Department with regard to ongoing investigations. The history is clear, the precedents are clear, the constitutional structure is clear, and common sense is clear.

    Yet virtually every Democratic pundit, in their haste to “get” President Trump, has willfully ignored these realities. In doing so they have endangered our civil liberties and constitutional rights…

    I think it is important to put to rest the notion that there was anything criminal about the president exercising his constitutional power to fire Comey and to request – “hope” – that he let go the investigation of General Flynn. Just as the president would have had the constitutional power to pardon Flynn and thus end the criminal investigation of him, he certainly had the authority to request the director of the FBI to end his investigation of Flynn.

    So let’s move on and learn all the facts regarding the Russian efforts to intrude on American elections without that investigation being impeded by frivolous efforts to accuse President Trump of committing a crime by exercising his constitutional authority. – Alan M.

        1. …and it is up to the hundreds now. The Washington Post is keeping a running log of Trump’s lies. They are up to, like, 300 or 400 so. ha ha ha ha ha Though you won’t find it on Breitbart news or Fox.

          If it comes down to Trump v Comey’s words, there is absolutely no contest. Come will win hands down. At least among those with more than a 6th grade education who are members in good standing in society.

        2. “…and it is up to the hundreds now. The Washington Post is keeping a running log of Trump’s lies.”

          Fair enough.

          Tell me, where was the Washed Compost counting Obama lies?

          Where was the Washed Compost counting Hillary Clinton lies?

          Where was the Washed Compost counting Bill Clinton lies?

          Where was the Washed Compost counting Donna Brazille lies?

          Hmmm? Answer: Democrat jurnos partisan counting only applies to Republicans.

          “If it comes down to Trump v Comey’s words, there is absolutely no contest. Come will win hands down. At least among those with more than a 6th grade education who are members in good standing in society.”

          Keep telling yourself that, sonny boy. Comey has proven in his own words he is the leader of the WASHINGTON SWAMP. He corrected his congressional testimony more than once. He is an admitted Washington LEAKER and a tall spineless wimp that folded to AG Lynch pressure to call Hillary’s investigation a “matter” in the middle of her presidential campaign. And how e kept secret notes on our president on his government computer. Comey possibly could be indicted.

          Comey will win hands down? Good luck with that …

        3. … Or we can just sit back and watch the show. But I don’t find these clowns to be very funny. It’s obviously not a total washout. TPP was an abomination of corporatocracy, good riddance. Pestering the rest of lazy, cheapass NATO to contribute their fair share is excellent. Melania Trump may be the most beautiful First Lady ever. I didn’t mind Comey being fired at all (but what a brain dead way to do it).

          As for the rest of The Trump: I consider this an age of destruction, of demolition. According to my Angst Theory, that means an equal and opposite generation of creativity, at least outside of a totalitarian system. Despite the traitorous drive to make my country totalitarian, we’re not there! So create on kids. The control freaks hate it! And that’s a great thing.

        4. “Clowns to the left of me
          Jokers to the right
          Here I am
          Stuck in the middle with you…”

          Part of the problem of course is the bombardment of propaganda, left and right, in our new information society. It’s all about manipulating the populace who have a weak sense of perspective outside of their designated political boxes. Then add in the desperate crazies factors.

          I definitely need an awesome most excellent term like New-Hate. Or Neo-Loathe. Or Neu-Hass to give it that Nazi feel. Or how about Vogue Vicious.

        1. Golden showers?!? 👿

          Seems this particular MDN post has spawned a record number of newly minted anonymous posters.

          The only leak you feel is the urine on your head …
