"socialism" is the Repugs' slander spewed at anything the Dems propose.

Repugs know their stupid, ignorant, brainwashed base will believe that the Dems' so-called (by the Repugs) socialism will turn USA into Cuba, VZ, USSR, and their stupid, ignorant, exploited, lied-to base is gulled every time.

:lol :lol Nor does his cult mob understand

Does Trump understand how global warming works?

Morgan interjected. “What people want to hear about climate change,” the host said, “is that you, basically, understand that almost every scientist that looks into this believes climate change is a very real and present danger. That if we don’t tackle it now — and America has to lead the way, along with China and India — then we’re going to be in serious trouble. Do you accept that?”

Trump replied: “Well, you know, you just said it. China, India, Russia, many other nations, they have not very good air.

Not very good water, in the sense of pollution and cleanliness. If you go to certain cities — I’m not going to name cities, but I can — if you go to certain cities, you can’t even breathe. And now that air is going up. So, if we have a clean — in terms of a planet, we’re talking about a very small distance between China and the U.S. or other countries.”

“I believe that there’s a change in weather, and I think it changes both ways,” Trump said. :lol

He then went on to his established riff about how “climate change” used to be called “global warming” but “that wasn’t working.” :lol

This isn’t true (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2018/11/26/where-governments-climate-report-undercuts-trumps-rhetoric/?utm_term=.b12ab6bd1e58) and doesn’t make much sense. :lol

When he’s talking about clean water, he’s not expressing concern about carbon dioxide absorption in our oceans.

He appears instead to be talking about old-school 1970s-era pollution: smog and soot

Before the 2016 campaign,

he slammed concerns about carbon dioxide because they would lead to more wind power,

a nemesis of his (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/04/03/trump-claims-that-wind-farms-cause-cancer-very-trumpian-reasons/) because he worried about the aesthetics of one of his golf courses in Scotland where a wind farm was built nearby.

the process behind global warming involves a complex set of contributors, but the effect itself is fairly simple.

During his time in politics, though,

Trump doesn’t seem to have ever articulated an understanding of the case that scientists are presenting,

choosing instead to talk in gauzy terms about clean air as though he were channeling Woodsy Owl (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=co0Vh1C9NfY).

Maybe Trump chooses to make that transition to downplay the importance of climate change.

Or maybe he doesn’t understand what climate change is.

Morning Joe panel cracks up laughing after Trump busted for spotlighting ‘the same black guy’ at rallies

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough busted President Donald

Trump for planting the same black supporter behind him at multiple rallies

— including his 2020 campaign kickoff in Orlando.

The “Morning Joe” hosts watched video of Trump attacking his 2016 rival Hillary Clinton, who isn’t running again,

and

compared (https://www.rawstory.com/2019/06/morning-joe-hilariously-compares-trump-2020-to-elvis-in-1977-lumbering-across-the-stage-trying-to-sing-the-old-hits/) his stale themes to Elvis Presley’s concerts in the months before he died from a heart attack in 1977.

“Hillary’s not running, sweetie,” co-host Mika Brzezinski said. “Come on, old guy.”

Scarborough recognized the one black supporter seated behind Trump, among a sea of white faces wearing red “Make America Great Again” hats.

Rick Wilson hilariously ridicules the ‘formal flip-flops’ and ‘dress cargo pants’ worn by Florida Trump supporters

“First off, it is grievance-palooza,” Wilson said.

“There is not this affirmative feeling about the greatness of our country or some vision for the future.

It is, he is the avatar of my anger,

he is going to smite the people I can’t smite.”

there were a lot of people there, classic Florida, a smattering of Q-Anon (https://www.rawstory.com/2018/12/qanon-conspiracy-believers-complaint-isolated-loved-ones-holidays/),”

“There were people wearing their formal flip-flops and their dress cargo pants,”

the speech as “a greatest hits tour.”

“This is the boy band now reduced to touring the state fair, :lol

the same song from a couple of years ago :lol

it hasn’t expanded his base one iota,”

there is no boundary he can cross with them that loses their vote.

The ones committed enough to go show up in that room tonight

live in a completely separate political sphere that is hermetically sealed,” Wilson argued.

“They live inside Donald Trump’s definition of reality.”
“He can tell them the wall is 3,000 feet long and made of solid gold and has alligator moats and they’ll say of course it does.

It is all in their head, of course, but they believe what he tells them and it doesn’t matter,”

Here are 7 wild, bizarre and pathetic moments from Trump’s ‘campaign launch’

1. He said Democrats “want to destroy our country as we know it.”

2. If Democrats win in 2020, “they would shut down your free speech,” Trump said.

3. He continued to make up lies about and attack Hillary Clinton — who isn’t running.

4. After saying Democrats would go after their enemies with the law, Trump suggested Attorney General Bill Barr might still go after Hillary Clinton.

5. Trump continued to deny that the tariffs he imposes, which are just import taxes, are actually taxes on Americans.

6. Trump claimed he was “officially” launching his campaign, and much of the media bought into this lie. But it made no sense.

7. Trump rolled out one of his favorite and most absurd lies: that he was responsible for legislation that was passed under President Barack Obama.

Colorado Senator Cory Gardner is “arguably the most endangered Republican senator running for re-election in 2020”.4 A poll shows him losing by eight points to a generic Democrat.5

'Absolute immunity' isn't executive privilege, it's just another unprecedented Trump abuse of power (https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2019/6/19/1865963/--Absolute-immunity-isn-t-executive-privilege-it-s-just-another-unprecedented-Trump-abuse-of-power)

So-called absolute immunity was the claim White House and Department of Justice lawyers made Wednesday at a Judiciary Committee hearing in order to

rebuff every question asked of former Trump aide Hope Hicks regarding her time serving as White House communications director.

At the closed-door hearing, Hicks wouldn't even divulge where her desk was located (https://twitter.com/kyledcheney/status/1141355973761802241) in the West Wing due to her made-up immunity shield.

The blanket immunity claimed by Hicks and administration lawyers is akin to the blanket assertions of executive privilege Trump has made over all redacted portions of the Mueller report, all documents related to the 2020 census citizenship question, and other materials.

Just to be clear, absolute immunity isn't a thing, nor are blanket assertions of executive privilege—or at least they weren’t pre-Trump.

What the White House is now claiming on a regular basis amounts to a form of executive immunity,

which is wholly different from the way limited assertions of executive privilege have been used by presidents in the past.

"It's important to distinguish between executive immunity and executive privilege,"

Bush's White House tried to claim executive immunity to block his former White House Counsel, Harriet Miers, from having to testify about a scandal involving the mass firing of U.S. Attorneys.

The intellectual roots that have made the Trump presidency possible are trifold:

The American Political Science Association’s (APSA) advocacy for strong political parties;

Neo-conservative unitary executive constitutional scholarship; and

Nietzschean-Postmodern journalistic theories denying the validity of objective truth.

Trump's campaign manager blackballs all polls, calling them 'too complex' (https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2019/6/19/1865914/-Trump-s-campaign-manager-blackballs-all-polls-calling-them-too-complex) :lol

Trump's campaign manager is declaring (https://www.politico.com/story/2019/06/19/brad-parscale-2020-polling-1370224) all polls "the biggest joke in politics."

“The country is too complex now just to call a couple hundred people and ask them what they think," campaign manager Brad Parscale told CBS

why it was so wrong in 2016. It was 100 percent wrong. Nobody got it right. Not one public poll,” :lol

Actually, the

national polling pretty accurately predicted the popular vote count

, which ultimately favored Hillary Clinton by nearly 3 million votes.

the polling in 2018 turned in some pretty accurate (though not perfect) results (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/21/upshot/polls-2018-midterms-accuracy.html)regarding Democratic pickups in the House and the Republicans maintaining control of the Senate.

Trump’s inability to accept any reality in which he's unpopular—

the very same reason

he can't admit that Russia intervened on his behalf in 2016 and

Hillary Clinton trounced him in the popular vote.

But as ludicrous as Parscale's comments are,

they also reflect the campaign's basic approach to winning reelection.

They are simply not trying to appeal to anyone outside of Trump's rage-filled base.

What Trump's campaign aims to do is to find and mobilize voters who perhaps haven't voted in decades—or even ever—because they are so disgusted with the system.

Parscale's comments are both a convenient way to

dismiss what the polls are reflecting back to Trump and

a telling reminder of how Trump's campaign plans to navigate the 2020 cycle.

I'd like to hear Moore's take on Trump's chances in the Rust Belt - he was pretty spot on last time around. Here in FL, De Santis is surprisingly popular and Trump is not an unknown (as president) VS felons who've completed their sentences, Puerto Ricans who moved to FL and the young.

Trump threatened Time reporter with prison — and then griped about never being named Man of the Year

President Donald Trump threatened (https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-threatened-time-reporter-with-prison-over-photo-of-kim-jong-un-letter) a reporter with prison after a photographer tried to snap a photo of his letter from Kim Jong Un.

According to a transcript of his interview (https://time.com/5611476/donald-trump-transcript-time-interview/?utm_source=CNN+Media%3A+Reliable+Sources&utm_campaign=587b704680-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_09_11_04_47_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_e95cdc16a9-587b704680-83028405) with Time‘s Brian Bennett, the president asked to go off the record to show off the letter.

When the magazine’s photographer tried to take a picture of it, Trump became enraged.

“Excuse me — under Section II :lol :lol — well, you can go to prison instead, because, if you use, if you use the photograph you took of the letter that I gave you,” Trump said, according to the transcript.

“Confidentially, I didn’t give it to you to take photographs of it,” he said. “So don’t play that game with me. Let me just tell you something. "

You can’t do that stuff. So go have fun with your story, because

I’m sure it will be the 28th horrible story I have in Time Magazine because I never — I mean — ha.

It’s incredible. With all I’ve done and the success I’ve had, the way that Time Magazine writes is absolutely incredible.”

“With all I’ve done, with the tremendous success I’ve had,

that Time Magazine writes about me the way they write is a disgrace, okay?” he added. “Let’s face it, it’s a disgrace.

And some day within the next 20 years, maybe you’ll pick me as Man of the Year. Okay, big deal.”

Federal prosecutors have intensified their criminal investigation of Republican fundraiser Elliott Broidy.
They’re investigating whether Broidy — a top fundraiser for President Donald Trump who was later named deputy finance chairman of the Republican National Committee — gave clients special access at the 2017 inauguration in exchange for money,

The GOP fundraiser invited several Angolan and Romanian officials to inaugural events, and introduced some of them to multiple members of Congress, after the Angolan government agreed to pay his company $6 million.

former Fugees rapper Pras Michel, was recently indicted on a campaign-finance charge after detailing in court documents a scheme to funnel millions of dollars in illicit funds to Broidy.

Trump accused of raping author E. Jean Carroll in department store dressing room

She ran into the future president at the Manhattan department store in 1995 or 1996

“The moment the dressing-room door is closed,” she said, “he lunges at me, pushes me against the wall, hitting my head quite badly, and puts his mouth against my lips.

I am so shocked I shove him back and start laughing again.

He seizes both my arms and pushes me up against the wall a second time, and, as I become aware of how large he is,

he holds me against the wall with his shoulder and jams his hand under my coat dress and pulls down my tights.”
Carroll recalled with astonishment that she kept laughing as the situation escalated.

“The next moment, still wearing correct business attire, shirt, tie, suit jacket, overcoat, he opens the overcoat, unzips his pants, and, forcing his fingers around my private area, thrusts his penis halfway — or completely, I’m not certain — inside me,” Carroll wrote.

“It turns into a colossal struggle. I am wearing a pair of sturdy black patent-leather four-inch Barneys high heels, which puts my height around six-one, and I try to stomp his foot.

I try to push him off with my one free hand — for some reason, I keep holding my purse with the other —

and I finally get a knee up high enough to push him out and off and I turn, open the door, and run out of the dressing room.”



Carroll is now at least the 16th woman to accuse the president of sexual misconduct.

of course uncle thomas dissented :lol

[boutons_deux]

Justice Thomas just handed down an opinion that would make it legal to kick black people off juries

The Supreme Court just undid the work of a prosecutor whose astounding incompetence was matched only by his racism.

This prosecutor somehow managed to try Curtis Flowers, an African American man from Mississippi, six times for the same murders — and he botched every single trial. :lol

two members of the court, Justice Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch, dissented.

most strikingly, however, was the nature of Thomas’s dissent, which went so far as to suggest that

prosecutors should be free to remove jurors because of their race.

As Kavanaugh explains in his opinion, “the Constitution forbids striking even a single prospective juror for a discriminatory purpose.”

Over the course of six trials, “the State employed its peremptory challenges to strike 41 of the 42 black prospective jurors that it could have struck.”

It also grilled black potential jurors in an apparent effort to find reasons to strike them, while largely letting white jurors go by without much probing.

even this slight helping of racial equity was too much for Thomas.

Thomas spends the bulk of his opinion disagreeing with Kavanaugh’s factual conclusions — and these parts of his opinion are joined by Gorsuch.

He then spends the final eight pages of his dissent arguing that

racial jury discrimination should effectively be legalized.

Not even Gorsuch was willing to endorse that view.

As Thomas notes, there are some virtues to peremptory challenges.

Among other things, they “eliminate extremes of partiality on both sides.”

Yet, in the hands of a racist prosecutor, they become a weapon that can be directed entirely against jurors of a particular race.

The seminal Supreme Court opinion prohibiting lawyers from using these challenges to engage in race discrimination Batson v. Kentucky.

Thomas’ dissent goes to war with Batson — which, in Thomas’ words “requires that a duly convicted criminal go free because a juror was arguably deprived of his right to serve on the jury.”

As a practical matter, that means that

virtually no one would ever challenge racist juror exclusions,

since the juror is unlikely to care enough about the outcome of a trial to sue because they were kicked off a jury.

And, in any event,

Thomas argues that excluded jurors should not be able to challenge other people’s convictions.

So Thomas’ would neutralize Batson altogether.

Thomas disagrees with the entire project of Batson.

“The ‘entire line of cases following Batson,‘” he writes, is “a misguided effort to remedy a general societal wrong by using the Constitution to regulate the traditionally discretionary exercise of peremptory challenges.”

Trump's Fourth of July Salute to Himself will feature 'military' parade and flyovers (https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2019/6/20/1866138/-Trump-s-Fourth-of-July-Salute-to-Himself-will-feature-military-parade-and-flyovers)

The festivities will lean heavily on military themes,

with the Interior Department somewhat flimsily billing it as an event to "honor America's armed forces."

This is in keeping with Trump's longstanding obsession with recreating France's Bastille Day parade (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trumps-marching-orders-to-the-pentagon-plan-a-grand-military-parade/2018/02/06/9e19ca88-0b55-11e8-8b0d-891602206fb7_story.html?hpid=hp_hp-top-table-main_no-name%3Ahomepage%2Fstory&utm_term=.f079cc7a3b75).

Trump's new Fourth of July event is indeed to feature a 10-block "military-themed" parade down Constitution Avenue—likely news to D.C. city officials who will now have to scramble with the additional logistics.

It will also feature flyovers by military planes, including one used as Air Force One (https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/trump-plans-air-force-one-flyover-of-mall-for-july-fourth-celebration/2019/06/18/b974b796-9210-11e9-b570-6416efdc0803_story.html?utm_term=.7a03565a5e8a).

The location of the traditional fireworks display will be moved in order to accommodate Trump's additional events.

District officials are already peeved at Trump's past interactions with the city, including

his stiffing the city of $7.3 million (https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/dc-politics/trump-still-owes-dc-7-million-in-inauguration-costs-as-he-plans-july-fourth-gala/2019/06/13/c55565b6-8df5-11e9-8f69-a2795fca3343_story.html?utm_term=.18420e3e5555) for logistics surrounding his inauguration celebrations. :lol

you can call me whatever you'd like... i don't have a problem whatsoever with free speech but to dismiss alinsky and what he stood for is ridiculous. you call me right wing because i see how his tactics are used by the left & by the MSM. seeing his doctrine infiltrate that party and those around that party isn't anything right wing to begin with; it's simply an observation and one that's so intertwined you can't convince me otherwise.

Trump To Profit Bigly From His D.C. Hotel During July 4th Bash Starring Him

President Donald Trump (https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/donald-trump)’s Trump International Hotel (https://www.huffpost.com/topic/trump-international-hotel) on federal property in downtown Washington (https://www.huffpost.com/topic/washington) will make a mint for him as guests enjoy a July 4th (https://www.huffpost.com/topic/july-4th) extravaganza paid for by taxpayers — and featuring the president. (https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-july-4th-changes-speech_n_5cd62a55e4b0705e47dc5e68)

Rooms were sold out for July 3 and July 4 by mid-June,

Rooms for July 5 were still available Thursday from $964 a night to $4,200 a night for a “premier one-bedroom suite.”

Trump earned nearly $41 million from the hotel last year after reneging on a campaign promise to divest from his businesses, according to financial disclosure statements.

Ivanka Trump pulled in $4 million (https://www.huffpost.com/entry/ivanka-trump-washington-hotel-emoluments-135-million_n_5d0434b6e4b0304a120fbec3) from her share in the hotel last year as she worked as a White House adviser.

"We are deeply troubled that the president’s involvement at the event will turn the long-standing, nonpartisan celebration into a

de facto campaign rally conducted at taxpayer expense (https://vermontbiz.com/news/2019/june/18/leahy-demands-answers-president%E2%80%99s-fourth-july-event) that

will serve to further divide rather than unify the nation,”

Today - Trump was accused of ANOTHER rape.

The woman who was raped went home, told a couple of friends. One said - "go to the police, I'll go with you- he raped you - you have to report it"
The second woman said, " he has 200 lawyers - he will bury you - don't say anything"

The victim went home, took off the clothes she wore when Trump raped her, hung them in a closet and never used them/never laundered them/never touched them - and she has them today.

New York state has no statute of limitations for first degree sexual assault/rape -
the clothing could be evidence in this rape.


In YOUR opinion - mr "I don't care about Trump" - should Trump be prosecuted for first degree sexual assault?


If this was Obama - would you wanted him charged and prosecuted?

Chuck Todd Bewildered By Trump Claim He Didn’t Lose Popular Vote: ‘What Are You Talking About?’

Chuck Todd was bewildered by President Donald Trump again claiming he did not actually lose the popular vote in 2016, and appearing to cast doubt on the vote total.

“You didn’t like the fact that you lost the popular vote. That bothered you didn’t it?” Todd asked.

“There were a lot of votes cast that I don’t believe.

I look at California–” Trump said before Todd cut him off saying “Mr. President.”

Trump has often bristled in interviews when it is mentioned he lost the 2016 popular vote to Hillary Clinton.

“Excuse me,” Trump continued

“Take a look at Judicial Watch. Take a look at their settlement. California admitted to a million votes.” :lol

Trump appeared to be obliquely referencing a settlement announced by the conservative watchdog group, which

aimed to have Los Angeles County remove inactive voters from voting rolls (https://nypost.com/2019/06/23/trump-spars-with-chuck-todd-over-2016-popular-vote-totals/).

However, the lawsuit did not expose widespread voter fraud as Trump suggested. :lol

Todd was still confused by what Trump was talking about.

Republicans Fear Losing Senate Because Trump Is So Unpopular

Trump’s enormous unpopularity (https://shareblue.com/319-national-polls-americans-dont-like-trump/) is making Republicans worry about not only holding on to the White House, but also about key 2020 Senate races, the Hill (https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/449220-gop-frets-about-trumps-poll-numbers) reported.

“His numbers are problematic,” :lol

a Republican pollster told the Hill. “Folks are nervous, :lol but no one is surprised.”

Polls conducted by the Trump campaign (https://shareblue.com/trump-aides-lie-poll-numbers-bad/) and outside organizations (https://shareblue.com/trump-losing-top-democratic-challengers-new-quinnipiac-poll/) show Trump trailing nationwide as well as in key 2020 battleground states, many of which also have competitive Senate races.
A June Quinnipiac University poll showed (https://shareblue.com/trump-losing-top-democratic-challengers-new-quinnipiac-poll/)

Trump losing to every single top Democratic candidate polled:
Vice President Joe Biden,
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA),
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).
Mayor Pete Buttigieg,
Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), and
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).

The news is just as bad for Trump in major swing states (https://shareblue.com/trump-approval-tanks-2016-swing-states/) like Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania,

where Trump’s approval rating has dropped by nearly 20 points since he entered the Oval Office. :lol

seven GOP senators running in 2020 in either battleground states or states where Trump lagged in recent polling.

According to the Hill, those senators are:

Sens. Martha McSally (AZ),
Cory Gardner (CO),
Susan Collins (ME),
Thom Tillis (NC),
David Perdue (GA),
Joni Ernst (IA), and
John Cornyn (TX).

Trump has a 2020 election ‘challenge’ as suburban voters and wealthy donors flee him: Vanity Fair reporter

Gabriel Sherman said Trump

has solidified his base,

but that independents are fleeing.

Add to that, rich benefactors who have been big supporters of the GOP are backing off.

“It seems like maybe his die-hard base will still stick with him. :lol

But clearly the [Trump] campaign is worried about the

voters, suburban voters, who seem to be able to go in another direction.”

“Another problem he faces is his biggest financial backer in 2016, the Mercer family, has all but disappeared from politics and pulled back,”

Agreed. Pelosi calls & requests that he "fold." The same fuckin' palsied bitch who wants him not only impeached, but, imprisoned. He immediately acquiesces. Why? Easy, Pelosi & the Dems don't & won't have to live in the shit hole that the Dems are arranging as we speak. They'll be above the shit hole-behind Walls. And you know who else will be above said shit hole? President Trump & his children. & I told him this in Tweet yesterday.

& another thing:::He's fuckin' around, but, they're waiting on him in New York. "Do anything, you motherfucker, just don't ever win the Presidency." What does he do? Leaves Clinton dead in the ground & places his hand on the Bible 2 months later. He thinks its a game. It ain't a game. He needs that statute of limitations to run for that 4 years after the first 4.

He needs to start arranging a beach somewhere off shore that he, the kids, & Mel can sit on & earn that 20%. They ain't fuckin' around.

As sanctions bite in Cuba, the U.S. — once a driver of hope — is now a source of pain

Just like that, the cruise ships are gone, along with thousands of cash-toting Americans who oohed and aahed — and shopped — amid the crumbling grandeur of Old Havana.

For Cubans, it’s a bitter reversal of fortune.

President Barack Obama’s opening of relations here, leading to his historic visit (https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/report-cuba-frees-american-alan-gross-after-5-years-detention-on-spy-charges/2014/12/17/a2840518-85f5-11e4-a702-fa31ff4ae98e_story.html?utm_term=.7ebe451159d8) three years ago,

inspired hopes of an economic boom,

bringing American investment and visitors back to this communist island largely shut off from the United States for more than a half-century.

A new crop of restaurateurs, IT entrepreneurs, artists and fashion designers, reveling in a fresh sense of optimism, began building businesses to tap into the seemingly lucrative detente.

But as a deepening frost settles in between the Trump administration and Havana (https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/trump-administration-announces-new-measures-against-cuba/2019/04/17/cfc2bc96-6132-11e9-9ff2-abc984dc9eec_story.html?utm_term=.c5f685084f5e), Cuba is instead confronting its worst economic setback in years.

Trump busted as a ‘complete idiot’ for threats against his own Fed chairman:

‘You would fail junior high economics’

“Despite a Federal Reserve that doesn’t know what it is doing – raised rates far to fast (very low inflation, other parts of world slowing, lowering & easing) & did large scale tightening, $50 Billion/month, we are on course to have one of the best Months of June in U.S. history,” Trump tweeted.
“Think of what it could have been if the Fed had gotten it right,” he added. “Thousands of points higher on the Dow, and GDP in the 4’s or even 5’s. Now they stick, like a stubborn child, when we need rates cuts, & easing, to make up for what other countries are doing against us. Blew it!”

His claims — which he deleted and reposted without misspellings :lol — were quickly fact-checked and ridiculed by other Twitter users.

This is so lame-brained. Short term interest rates are around 2.4%, extremely low by historic standards. Mortgage rates are extremely low. Borrowed money is cheap. Tariffs and presidential miscues are holding the U.S. back, not interest rates.

the president actually has a negative net approval rating in the states of North Carolina and Arizona,

which are two states that he will need to hold if he wants to win in 2020.

"Her conduct hurts both federal employees,

who may believe that senior officials can act with complete disregard for the Hatch Act, and the American people,

Under Trump, Manufacturing Job Growth Slows to a Trickle

The average hourly wage for manufacturing workers is, for the first time ever, slightly below the overall average.

While Trump has engaged in considerable bluster in his trade negotiations, they have not led to much of a payoff for U.S. manufacturing workers to date.

At the most basic level, instead of shrinking, the trade deficit has gotten larger under Trump.

Manufacturing job growth has slowed to a trickle in recent months.

In the last four months, the economy has added a grand total of 13,000 manufacturing jobs, just over 3,000 a month.

The index of aggregate hours worked in manufacturing is down 0.3 percent from its January level.

It is back to where it was in August of last year.

It is good that manufacturers would cut back hours rather than lay off workers in response to weak demand, but

it doesn’t change the fact that

we are seeing less demand in the manufacturing sector.

The Federal Reserve Board reports that its measure of industrial production (https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/IPMAN) for manufacturing has been falling since December 2018 and is now back to its level of April 2018.

when the number of manufacturing jobs was rising under Trump,

this was not translating into substantial wage growth, as wage growth in the sector has lagged overall wage.

We can speculate as to the motivations of current or former manufacturing workers who voted for Trump,

but if they expected that his presidency was going to bring back good-paying jobs in the sector,

they were badly mistaken.

It’s not clear that they will see their MAGA hats as much compensation. :lol

but if they expected that his presidency was going to bring back good-paying jobs in the sector,

they were badly mistaken.

It’s not clear that they will see their MAGA hats as much compensation. :lol

What the fuck do you expect, _? We're at 3.6%. I was told since knee high to a grasshopper that full employment is 5% & below. Too many job openings, not enough skilled, or, unskilled workers/legal available.

Agreed. Pelosi calls & requests that he "fold." The same fuckin' palsied bitch who wants him not only impeached, but, imprisoned. He immediately acquiesces. Why? Easy, Pelosi & the Dems don't & won't have to live in the shit hole that the Dems are arranging as we speak. They'll be above the shit hole-behind Walls. And you know who else will be above said shit hole? President Trump & his children. & I told him this in Tweet yesterday.

---------

& another thing:::He's fuckin' around, but, they're waiting on him in New York. "Do anything, you motherfucker, just don't ever win the Presidency." What does he do? Leaves Clinton dead in the ground & places his hand on the Bible 2 months later. He thinks its a game. It ain't a game. He needs that statute of limitations to run for that 4 years after the first 4.

He needs to start arranging a beach somewhere off shore that he, the kids, & Mel can sit on & earn that 20%. They ain't fuckin' around.

Good to have you back, Thread.

I like your banter even though I dont agree with most since our political ideals are separated by a mile. :tu

Same back at ya, Recky. I enjoy seeing///reading opposite views, that why I watch CNN & MSNBC. I never watch FOX. I enjoy being tortured. That fuckin' Morning Joe starts 3AM here. I set my clock next to the couch, rise up & turn it on. Most of the time either he or Mika won't be there and it sucks then, but, when they're both there it's a gd riot. They start right in + that Willie guy drives me crazy too. They all are arranged there to punch buttons. That fuckin' Joe, within 30 minutes I'm ready to fight.

No, but, proclaimed the same exact verbiage that I had the day before. I know it sounds preposterous, but, I'm serious, AY. I was absolutely floored, ran and told the wife even. "That's nice, Dale, now go and clean up the urine where you didn't quite make the bowl."

"Okay."
Sounds like an unprincipled thief

CNN and MSNBC are sensationalist, ratings-driven cable news, though. It's not going to give an accurate portrayal of the everyman on the "other side" any more than Fox will.

I know, but, I still like getting riled up, + on CNN the women are bountiful & healthy. They got anew one now Susan Hennesey who is just a dynamo. It's her turn & she ignites...yadayadayada. I'm like in love. A lot of 'em on CNN are pregnant, heavy with child. I like that in a woman as long it ain't my wife...tee, hee. No skinny women on CNN. All are robust with nice rumps & heavy thighs. I want them to beat me like a red headed aged man on the precipice of geezership.

That tariff thingy by the old man scared the tamales out of 'em. WTF was he on 1-20-17? That should have been first on the list. Now we have all these rug rats with heavy diapers & no on to change 'em. Mom & Dad are on vacation in a another building, having the time of their lives. "Si, Muchacho. These is like our honeymoon, beeg mon. Keeds are heavy in diaper, but that beat no diaper like back a home. Si? Now you Esmeraldo the big burrito. Si?"

"Nyet! I watch color, how you say t, a v? We have only radio free Guatamala back at a home, esmeralday. Si?"

"Si."

i think price transparency in medical care is a great goal to strive for, though i question if executive order is the way to get that done...

A loser because of what someone does not because you looked at the party affiliation you fucking moron

He is far left... no doubt about it and he's a loser so it was a fitting description just like cuck is a fitting description for you Blake. :tu

This is why I usually avoid responding to you. You have the mind of a child.

I'm directly talking about what I specifically quoted you on, dumb fuck. You avoid real discussion here because you're nothing more than a cheerleader with a Trump crush.

Yet you think taking all the pressure off of providers to provide fair pricing by supporting shakedowns like Obamacare is a good idea.

He says the reason he didn't rape his recent accuser is just that she's not his type.

corollary (https://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+corollary&spell=1&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjO4Ly91oPjAhWids0KHe3tBv0QkeECCC0oAA): had she been my type, of course I would have raped her

Agreed, but even if it does get done, pricing disclosure by itself doesn't do anything for cost. We all know pricing is a big mashup of factors like risk pools, and come associated with a lot of fine print.

I mean, this happens all the time already, with services or products that advertise "Free for qualifying customers".

Poor Mayor Pete, up to his ass in black alligators. He's used to gay baiting his adversaries. Uh, uh, not this time, Pete. This time you're being race baited by the blacks in your shit hole. The little piss ant couldn't even raise his eyes from the table in front of him. At least the Chief met eye. Not Mayor Pete. Turns out he's been a bad boy for years with this shit. CNN/MSNBC protected him though, kept all that silent. No more, Pete. You're busted, buster-Brown.

And the poor schnook cop who stopped this criminal. He's caught in the middle of a Presidential Campaign that his Mayor wants to flee back to. Uh, uh, Pete, your place is with those BLM alumni. Chop/chop, Pete. "See ya on the seesaw, Cindy!"

My ass. You know exactly what I'm talking about. Media was treating him with kid gloves in full knowledge of his shit hole's troubles. It took that gaggle of BLM'ers to shine the light on Mayor Pete's dirty laundry. Ain't such a big shot now, Pete. You're down in the do-do with Biden, boy. Everything was going along swimmingly & the whole fuckin' time he was being stalked by BLM alumni just waiting for another kill shot. They got it & lowered the boom on the Mayor Pete. C'mon, Pete, pick yourself up, dust yourself off & tally forth, sweetheart. That cop walks and what's happened to you since Sunday week will seem like a Sunday school picnic.

How's that for the justice system, Pav's? Crawl, you motherfucker, get on that pot belly & crawl!!!
