smoothy statistics don't swing in your favour, black unemployment has been in decline for a long time, as has unemployment generally, actually Trump created less jobs but we won't let the facts get in the way of a good story, that unemployment is low. It may just be that all those displaced older workers are no longer looking for a job

You aint seen nothin yet. Now that business tax rates have been revised to match world rates ,and Trump continues his campaign of deregulation ,American business will surge ..... and as the saying goes.... a rising tide lifts all boats . That is what the Dems still refuse to see. We had 8 years of Obama's schtick of American reductionist thinking . We would've had more of that with Evita and her crony pay for play RICO schemes .

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.

We have no budget and no roads bridges or schools being fixed. The yachts are floating just fine, but the rowboats are still grounded.

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.

Can you hear the cheers?

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.

The Trump tax cuts are handouts too.

Typical Democrat logic . Taking less of your hard earned money is called a handout .

[talaniman]

If you can spew Trump talking points, can't call it logic, then you should have no trouble with my logic. I am waiting to see how the plan works out for ME, but I don't intend to give up my plan anytime soon, and trust the lying cheating Dufus. Miss Porn Star has him by his balls. Today is the day The Dufus releases his sycophants memo, and normal people stock up for the Super Bowl. I hope your tax break buys you more than Doritos!

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 .

[tomder55]

am waiting to see how the plan works out for ME,

I already know it is not going to be as good for me because I live in a state that screws it's residence under the logic that the money they plunder could be deducted . Now the equation has changed ;but you won't see il duce Cuomo rushing to reduce the tax burden of the residents . Instead he's looking to add to our misery with things like "congestion tolls " . Now that they have figured out that they can electronically collect plunder from commuters there is no end to the imaginative ways they'll pick our pockets .

Cigna announced today it will increase the minimum wage for its employees to $16 an hour and raise contributions to retirement accounts .

here is the link to the Nunes memo .

[talaniman]

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 .

[talaniman]

Nice rant from a repub want to be! I'll just wait for the rest of the story because Trump, his sycophants, and stooges have NO credibility. Monday is the day. 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?

Stop looking at Fox FAKENews!

[tomder55]

Why was sentencing of Flynn delayed ? The whole group got nabbed for process crimes or unrelated issues .

[talaniman]

Come on you know he's working for a better sentence. That's what criminals do when they get caught. I heard that Gates is going to rollover for Mueller too!

[tomder55]

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 by

either the Chief Judge or the DC Circuit.

The whole Flynn case stinks . He plead guilty because his defense was draining his families finances :AND Meuller began threatening going after his son.

[Athos]

. No spin can change those basic facts.

Those are NOT the "basic facts" - as anyone who watches media other than FOX News would know in a flash. When will you characters learn?

[Athos]

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.

[talaniman]

What's more disturbing than The Dufus allowing the Nunes clown show, was this little tidbit,

https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/01/polit...ing/index.html

I mean the Dufus makes a very big PUBLIC deal of disgraceful stuff and people, but mum is the word when Russia is involved. Even Punk Paul is in on this distraction. Nobody can make this guy obey the law? I can't believe repubs are attacking the FBI or DOJ, when their appointees are the ones running it.

What are we missing here? What are we being distracted from?

[paraclete]

The fix is in, Trump stole government from the people

[tomder55]

The fix is in, Trump stole government from the people

Wrong ... on the contrary......

So far, not one Democrat has broken ranks. They will surely find procedural problems with the House memo. They will continue to wage their fight, a la Hollywood congressman Adam Schiff, on behalf of “the resistance.” But a resistance is not an opposition. The numerous landmines Obama and Clinton left behind them, intending to waylay the initially awkward Trump administration, are starting to detonate—on Democrats.The vulgar Trump isn’t constrained by convention. 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.

https://www.city-journal.org/html/nu...act-15704.html

The Obots in the emperor's adm (and probably the emperor himself ....along with the DNC and the Democrat compliant press all conspired to fix an election (going as far back as fixing the Democrat primaries ,and later the general election)by deceiving the FISA court to spy on the Trump campaign . Russians could not have done a better job destroying American institutions than the Democrats have.

[talaniman]

Why is The Dufus defending Carter Page? That's the bottom line as more of The Dufus's Russian ties comes to light. Surely the Alt right loony fringe is not suggesting we should ignore Goofy Pages business practices, that no doubt lead to Trump? Come on Tom, even you cannot believe that if so far 4 former flunkies are criminals that they acted without instruction from higher up?

More blame it on Obama BS, so w don't pay attention to what The Dufus and his sycophants are doing NOW!
