Schumer breaks down in tears while denouncing Trump’s travel ban.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer broke down in tears on Sunday as he announced that Democrats are considering legislation to overturn President Trump’s controversial executive order temporarily banning immigration from seven predominantly Muslim countries.

“This executive order was mean-spirited and un-American,” Schumer said at a press conference in New York City, where he was surrounded by families affected by the ban.

This guy is better actor than cousin Amy

Ironman says

Rosie O’Donnell, Amy Schumer, Miley Cyrus and George Clooney are part of a group of celebrities calling for a total Hollywood strike “until Trump resigns”.

The hubris is mind boggling....other than Clooney, the other three completely forgettable and can't think of anything they're in that I would even think of watching

As stated by many here, lot of new and innovative programming by independents on Netflix

Apple at 125 after hours.

Sounds like a plan.

I'm thinking the Conservative celebrities would not participate, and not mind helping new conservative minded talent in the door. They would help progressive minded talent too, if they were interested in defying the protest. :)

Sound's like a WIN all around! I'm for it!

I really would not mind a bunch of Clint Eastwood movies along with The Expendables parts 13, 14, and 15.

Grab them by the pussy Trump says

Ironman says

delusional and narcissistic as

#triggered you all day

then patrick pulls the piggy plug you go away

ooohh hooo hooo fire in the troll hole!

Pot, kettle, black.

Yup, 900 "former" State Department officials.

Pussiest! If they had balls they would quit.

Fucking White Male says

Pot, kettle, black.

Oh stop crying and have another drink, LOL, wanker bitch!

Looks like there are about 24,000 State Department employees total: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Department_of_State

So 900 / 24000 = 0.0375, or a bit less than 4%.

OK, let them quit.

Republicans that don't protest or quit are teat sucking SOCIALISTS!

How many Republicans have BIG GOVT. SOCIALIST jobs?
How many Republicans make less than their elected trash?
How many Republicans can't get the healthcare that their elected trash have?
How many Republicans can't get an expense funds?
How many Republicans can't get a pension like their elected trash?

HOW MANY REPUBLICANS ARE BRAINWASHED STUPID?

You said something?

Excellent counter sir

Ironman says

Considering up to 10% of employees in an organization are a liability and drag on the organization, cleaning out this dead wood probably wouldn't be missed at all, and would be a benefit.

So you know those 900 are deadwood? As you so tediously say, link please.

And you need to proof read the captions you post...

Have they been fired yet??

Ironman says

Why don't you prove they're not. Considering they're government employees, there's no doubt they're useless.

Though not half as useless as you.

Well if we get the feminazis to agree that this chick is not hot-we men have won!!!!!!

These people got jobs at State so they could transfer into NGOs and International Organizations like WTO, GATT, UNHCR, etc.

Wouldn't you be pissed if you spent your adult life working towards transitioning into a cushy "Eurocrat" type job, joining the 1% in Center of Zurich, Brussels, or Manhattan, only to find a Pesky Meddler got Elected who was going to pull the rug from underneath you?

Maybe they hope to be fired, because if they get fired now, they can run to the European Commission on Straight Bananas or the World Customs Organization and get sympathy from other Globalist Neoliberals. "Oh, you were fired or resigned from that evil, backward barbarian who doesn't understand the importance of crushing wages and reducing national sovereignity for World Peace and Technocratic Excellence? Oh, poor dear, you are hired. Let's Get HIM!"

"When you intend to have a revolutionary administration, you expect that the bureaucracy (deep state) will object: they are members of the old regime, that’s what they know and what they like. So you want them to oppose you openly. You want them to stick their heads up and scream. You want them to block you in ways you can see. You need to know who the people are who won’t “go along to get along” so you can get rid of them."

AAPL has great upside potential short term. Samsung phones exploding, $250B coming to shore (i.e share buybacks), new iPad and iPhone 8 this year, Airpods selling like mad.

i predict $155/share by Jan 31 2018.

Tim Crook still needs to go however. he's disposable.

good because Trump had planned to reduce the size of the federal gov.

now he doesn't have to waste his time deciding which one to let go and make the mistakes of "firing the wrong one."

Ironman says

You all can go thank Trump:

LOL!! - It has nothing to do with trump but ok...

The naysayers of apple can choke on it...

They need to innovate. I can't tell a difference between the last 5 models.

I don't us an Iphone, but I know people who do, and one reason to upgrade if yours is getting old is that some of the newer ones are bigger and have more built in memory. Plus the newer ones have better cameras.

If you read everything in this graphic, that's pretty much Trump on the left and Hillary on the right.

FortWayne says

then you are one of "those" people...

I own pretty much everything apple makes...use family sharing calendars, reminders...iphone, watch, mac mini's, iMacs, desktop etc.., calendar, reminders, alarms, home automation - It's there all day and its made so many things so much easier. Every now and then a hick up, fine. Easy to figure out and fix. Disclaimer, I do know my way around Macs...maybe different for the non tech types out there.

I have not owned every iPhone - but from 1 to 3 to 5 to 6...skipping the 7 and will most likely go 8. You can't tell a difference between the phones? Hm...I don't get it. That's like saying...there is no difference between a 1980 BMW and a 2016 BMW. Both just cars. One has a better stereo...so what? I can't tell the difference. Both use gasoline. One is slightly faster...whats the big deal?

You have to be part of the cool kids club to get it I think. The apple products get better the more stuff you have. It's fantastic to be on the phone and text somebody or look up a website and then get to the computer and continue to text from the computer and browse the exact website without having to search it again. This "handoff" is very practical for somebody that does that a lot. I happen to be one of those. It's from one machine to another - from one device to another.

I have my moments of curse also but overall I am extremely pleased with their products.

Ironman says

Yes, because we all know Apple stock for the year before Trump was elected was so stellar, right??

Not sure what you mean - here is Apple under Obama...

But ok - lets give trump the credit....9 days in office...sure - if it makes you feel better

Intraday high over 130. Will have to check my mutual fund watch list after close.

Trader Tries To Short Apple Earnings, Pukes Up Life Savings

On Tuesday, a day trader allegedly took gambling to a whole new level. And, if his act was in earnest, he lost big.

According to MarketWatch, Canadian investor F.S. Comeau bet his last $249,000 against Apple Inc.in an attempt to reclaim $2.5 million lost in poor investments. At the time of the trade, shares were valued around $122, and MarketWatch reported that an increase of just $6 would deplete Comeau’s savings.

Apple shares shot up Tuesday after-hours when the tech giant blew out its Q1 earnings estimates... and Comeau lost significantly.

Benzinga reported that analysts average a Buy rating on Apple shares with a price target of $133.40. Analysts also expect reports of a 2-percent revenue increase and growth in iPhone sales figures.

But Comeau's self-described “YOLO” investment was a calculated one. Comeau took to the WallStreetBets strand on Reddit to explain his prediction of Apple’s big earnings loss.

He predicted a total earnings drop of 15 to 25 percent.

I lost $100,000 in one night to Brexit. Another $50,000 betting on Hillary.

i'd say a big part of the optimism is Trumps tax holiday. but i'd agree that it has mostly been due to introductions and updates of products.

So basically, California wants to secede from the Union, because they want to keep their cheap slave labour...sound familiar?

"Fame Whore Psychotherapist, breaches ethics to state the obvious about Trumpligula and call it a revelation!"

Guess he must teach how to be unethical at John Hopkins.

Is he a member of that noble organization that took an immediate, firm stance on Torture?

Heraclitusstudent says

They don't care about Trump, or California. They just want to divide. And it works well with morons on both sides.

Yep. Never not try to weaken a rival.

California would never leave, because all the MIC employees would be jobless. California can't maintain 9 CVBGs, 1000s of F-35 Lead Sleds, all by itself. Or all those Space Tech Companies that receive heavy Federal and State subsidies and breaks. And then what would Lockheed do?
