    The Democrats acted like children having a tantrum... Literally... that's exactly what they looked like. Not at all like adults. And I heard THAT comment from a Nigerian friend of ours that was visiting at that time. He commented what is wrong with those people acting like a kid that did not get the toy they were demanding.

    Even the blacks in attendance did not applaud this because they know Trump had nothing to do with it and that he is a racist.

    Employee bonuses are a joke. A drop in the bucket compared to the corporate giveaways. Corps sucking up to Orangeman. Wait and watch where the windfalls from Trump actually go - can you spell dividends, executive compensation, stock buyback? Like his tax "cut", his intention was never to help the workers - he said as much to his rich cronies.

    Jobs - Again, nothing to do with Trump. And included jobs created under OBAMA. The actual number created since his presidency is lower than his claim. But dopey Donald is NEVER bothered by FACTS!

    Flag - does anyone actually believe Trump cares a whit about the flag? He cares about money - nothing else.

    National Anthem - He has accused the NFL players of not supporting the military when anyone with an IQ of 2 knows they were protesting police gunning down unarmed blacks and getting away with it. Duhhhhh.

    Border - Do you mean the Wall that Mexico will pay for? Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.

    Merit immigration - Thank your lucky stars this didn't apply to your ancestors, tomder, else you'd still be back in some bog in some swamp somewhere in the old country.


    Trump's taking credit for the economy is so far-fetched that even Republican economists agree that it is the result of years of OBAMA correcting what the Republicans contributed to in the first place to create the world-wide financial crisis.

    What is truly amazing is that this revolting swine got any applause at all. The White House will have to be fumigated when the American people finally throw him out and send him back to wallow in his pigsty of ill-gotten gains. Trump University, anybody?

    I wonder how many workers will get a bonus out of the 160 million who deserve them? For the ones that get them, it's probably the first ever in their life, and more than likely the last. So let's just wait, and see who will applaud for what. Certainly not the folks who get a pink slip instead of a bonus.

    But Athos....even the left wing loons at my local CBS affiliate fact checked the Black unemployment number claim and said it was true.....its the LOWEST black unemployment rate since 1972. And its significantly lower for all other groups as well.

    Loons, you say? Can you read, Smoothy? To help you, I'll repeat it - Even the blacks in attendance did not applaud this because they know Trump had nothing to do with it and that he is a racist. My statement refers to Trump taking credit for something he was not entitled to. Get it? Who's the loon now?

    From the day OBAMA inherited the horrendous world-wide Bush/Republican recession to his last day in office, Black unemployment declined 9.1% during those years. One year under Trump, the rate declined less than 1% (7.7 to 6.8). Trump has no chance to equal OBAMA'S accomplishment for Black employment.

    Try researching the numbers, smoothy. Then you won't look so foolish.

    I saw it, they are brain damaged idiots. Trump had EVERYTHING to do with it... Do a search yourself how BAD the employment rates were BEFORE Trump took office. The bozo's sitting there like lumps of manure were the Racists in the room. Where are you pulling your so called facts from? Certainly not anyplace CREDIBLE like the Bureau of Labor Statistics that do not back your claims of this non-existent Utopia for blacks or anyone else during his 8 years.

    Its amazing how Liberals STILL try to Blame Bush for all the stupid mismanagement Obama was responsible for... and trying to credit Obama for stuff he had absolutely NOTHING to do with.

    CBS is anything but Pro Trump...they were 110% pro Hillary and they agreed Trump did more for Black employment than anyone has since 1972. At least in this universe. Can't speak for any of the alternate ones.

    Trump inherited a CRAP economy from Obama....and Turned it around, didn't spend the last year blaming everything that happened after he took office on Obama.

    *sigh* (Sometimes I wonder why I bother.)

    My facts come from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

    December 2016 was OBAMA'S last full month in office. The Black unemployment rate was 7.9%. In January 2017, partially OBAMA and partially Trump, the Black unemployment rate was 7.8%. (Interestingly, the first two full months of Trump's presidency, the Black unemployment rate increased.)

    Prior to December 2016, OBAMA'S Black unemployment rate for the year ranged downward from 8.9% to 7.9%. From the beginning of the recovery (roughly 2010) to OBAMA'S leaving office, the Black unemployment rate decreased from 16.5% to 7.8%.

    Every fact cited can be verified at the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

    The financial crisis began while Bush, not OBAMA, was president. It was Bush, not OBAMA, who began the bailout stimulus packages. OBAMA continued that policy, which the Republicans, after supporting that policy under Bush, now did a 180 and condemned OBAMA for the same policy.


    Quote:

    No. The economy was recovering and had been since it bottomed in 2010 as the Bush recession ran its course, leaving many casualties in its wake.

    Your claim that Trump "didn't spend the last year blaming everything that happened after he took office on OBAMA" is preposterous. That is precisely what Trump did - blamed OBAMA. He still does it. Whenever he wants to change the subject as the truth gets too close for comfort, he brings up OBAMA - or Clinton.

    Some of us try not to deal in "hyperbolic truth" or "alternative facts". We stick to the actual facts. Something you should try.

    The Trump tax cuts are handouts too. Carrier is a prime example of what companies will do, and always done with their tax cuts. Even Walmart who has always sucked off the local tax teat has raised wages, given bonuses and laid off thousands. I bet that helped some communities too huh?

    Amazing The Dufus bragging about what he has done hasn't said a darn thing about Carrier. You seem happy to ignore those details Tom, nor made no comment about rising prices that are lowly becoming evident.

    One company alone ;Amazon ,because of the improved Business climate ;is going to invest $350 billion in the US economy . That is almost half of the amt we wasted on the emperor's "stimulus " . Every day you are seeing more and more companies announcing pay raises ,bonuses ,investments in the country since herr Donald assumed the Presidency . But go ahead and keep on mocking these developments as insignificant . I hope them Dems keeps on calling it crumbs . Let them go into the fall campaign and claim their constituents aren't better off .

    Seems to me that the only thing they have on their plate is helping the children of illegals instead of the "dreamers "of legal America . And even with that ;Trump offered a better deal for them in his opening bid in the negotiations for immigration reform.

    America gets a raise: Wage growth fastest since 2009 - Feb. 2, 2018

    glad you brought up the fact that FISA warrants for a counter intel investigation (aka using the law enforcement agencies to spy on your opponent in a Presidential election) were based SOLELY on the bogus Steele "dossier " that was compiled with fallacious evidence by an operative paid for by the Clintoon campaign.

    I saw the movie 'The Post ' this weekend . You know ;it's about a time when the Dems thought it was worthy to go to jail to show the public classified documents . The Dems used to be suspicious of the and the intel agencies of the government . Now they are cheerleaders for them and questioning the legitimacy of an investigation is not allowed because it impunes the integrity of the agency .

    btw ;did you read today that Hostess has joined the growing list of companies giving employees bonuses due to the new tax law ? Well part of their bonus is getting free Hostess products . So in this case I agree that some of their bonus is just crumbs .

    Nothing good ever came from giving the keys to your brand new car to your unreliable buddy and his friends and he peels off down the road. That's how I characterize this Nunes memo release and repubs tax cuts. Keep watching the clown show and wait for prices to rise, and Rosenstein fired. Obviously Nunes is a stooge for Trump, and Trump is scared to death that more will be revealed later and blow his world up. We can only wait to see the effect of those tax cuts on city budgets and services this year, let alone government services and functions.

    The prospect of transparency has triggered panic in the Dems & among its praetorian guard in the media. When transparency hurts Dems, the media oppose transparency.It is important for the American public to know if the dossier was paid for by another candidate, used in court pleadings, vetted before and after it was used , and whether all relevant facts were shared with the judges approving the FISA application. Nunes' memo shows that the FBI used a partisan campaign document to get a warrant to spy on a rival campaign. And shows the FBI omitted crucial information from the FISA court. No spin can change those basic facts.


    I look forward to the release of Pathfinder Schiffs memo too (which had a unanimous vote by the committee for release to the public as opposed to the Dem attempt to stop this release ) .
    Next release 4 FISA Applications and the name of every Obot who made an unmasking request . Sunshine is the best disinfectant for a corrupt government . So far the emperor has been immune from the scrutiny . But I find it all but impossible to believe that he wasn't the puppet master behind the scenes . We just need to be patient and peel this onion one layer at a time .

Why is Trump distracted from the real issue of Russian interference? In his words Tom, "It's a disgrace what happening in this country!". We agree on that!

    Even the repubs aren't saying that Mueller's investigation is not legit. Nor that Page is innocent, and we know Flynn, and Papadopoulos have already pleaded to a lesser charge, and Gates and Manafort are set for trial. Yeah let's peel the onion we have NOW?

    or it could be that Mueller knows that Flynn was tricked into having the interview with disgraced FBI agent Peter Strzok without a lawyer. Why did the original judge hearing the case recuse himself (the same judge
    Contreras who the emperor appointed to the FISA court and probably granted the FISA applications to spy on the Trump campaign)?
    Actually he did not recuse himself ;he was removed from the case byThe whole Flynn case stinks . He plead guilty because his defense was draining his families finances :AND Meuller began threatening going after his son.

    I can't resist this - Donald the Dope tweeted that "I am responsible for the lowest Black unemployment rate in history". He tweeted this repetition from his Tuesday night false speech - false in almost every way, not just Black unemployment.

    Today, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the biggest INCREASE in Black unemployment in YEARS! It jumped from 6.8% to 7.7% in January. The world waits for the stupid man to take credit for the bad news. HA! Don't hold your breath. He will ignore the bad news as he always does.

    For the record, I only challenge Trump on this issue because he's such a blowhard when it comes to Black unemployment. Unemployment, Black or White, is the result of many factors, not whose fat a** sits in the White House.

    Here's another one for the idiot. The stock market dropped 666 points today!!!!! The evangelicals will love that one - maybe it will help them realize exactly who it is they they are supporting. Like unemployment, the stock market has many factors affecting its performance. Donald the Dunce is clueless on that score also.

    So far, not one Democrat has broken ranks. They will surely find procedural problems with the House memo.

He won’t go soft on politicians who saw no problem in issuing FISA warrants in the midst of a presidential campaign and then keeping them operational into his first term in office. As the information comes out, the Democrats’ FISA subterfuge will be seen by much of the country as a soft coup attempt. There’s no other way to put it.
