Full Title: "J.P. Morgan’s Dimon launches into expletive-tinged rant, saying ‘almost an embarrassment to be American’" Tell us what you really think, Jamie Dimon. J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.’s outspoken CEO on Friday broke into an impassioned, expletive-tinged rant on the state of Washington politics and its impact on the U.S. economy during one call to discuss second-quarter results.

read the article- not just the headline:

"So, no, in spite of gridlock, we’ll grow at 1.5% or 2%. I don’t buy the argument that we’ll relegate this forever. We’re not. If this administration can make breakthroughs in taxes and infrastructure regulatory reform. We have become one of the most bureaucratic confusing litigious societies on the planet. It’s almost an embarrassment to be an American citizen traveling around the world and listening to the stupid shit we have to deal with in this country. And at one point we all have to get our act together or we won’t do what we’re supposed to do for the average Americans. And unfortunately, people write about this being like it’s for corporations. It’s not for corporations. Competitive taxes are important for business and business growth, which is important for jobs and wage growth. And honestly, we should be ringing that along to every single one of you, every time you talk to a client."

From the article:

Indeed. We have become a sue-happy nation ruled by hordes of regulatory busybodies.

Jamie Dimon was not complaining about Trump. While most TV and cable news misinterpret him to mean that he is complaining about Trump he is definitely not. He starts with the phrase “Since the Great Recession...” which means, since the Obama administration. He also complained that, “the U.S. has become one of the most bureaucratic, confusing, litigious societies on the planet”. That does not sound like Trump.

Dimon was clearly talking about Obama without saying it. He may be frustrated that things aren’t changing fast enough. He may be frustrated with congress. But he is not complaining about Trump and Trump policies. He is complaining about democrats without saying it.

Would have been nice if he had said it when it counted instead of licking Obama’s ass.

Everything he said is true....aa long as he had the floor, he could have said how biased the media has been for every Republican president elected..[snip] He declined to say whether President Donald Trump’s administration was moving fast enough on those issues, but he did call out the media for failing to cover it.

He uses the phrase “stupid shit” ONE time in refernce to what is in fact stupid shit, and it’s “expletive tinged”. Yet a US Senator can drop F-bombs to her left-wing base and that’s just being cool.

I am totally in agreement with him.

Don't particularly like him, but I do agree with what he's saying about our damned do-nothing bunch of spineless turds in the Senate and pretty much all of the House.

McConnell is a pussy, Graham is a backstabbing asshole, McCain is a rotten bastard...must I go on?

We have one hell of a majority and could be sealing up the dimrats for generations to come, but with all the in-fighting and CYAing going on, nothing, NOTHING is getting done.

I'm for firing the damned bunch and starting over.

The only positive thing I have seen out of this bunch of RINO's is the confirmation of Justice Gorsuch.
