President Trump- The Implications

[swake]

Man, they must...or his mental degeneration is worse than Reagan's

Does spray tan cause brain damage?

[Conan71]

So we have gone from $400 billion deficits with Obama back to $1 Trillion annual deficits with Trump - back to the good ole days of the last Bush years....



The lie they were telling last year was that the debt would 'only' go up $1.5 Trillion over 10 years. Last year it went up over $500 Billion. Next year is $1 Trillion. The entire $1.5 Trillion in 2 years. Plus the remaining 8 years beyond that at more than $1 Trillion each.  Trump and Minions are on schedule to increase the debt by more than $11 Trillion.  But it must be 'good' debt if the Republicontins do it...!!

That is IF they don't get the new tax cuts they are talking about last week.

And it's the White House's own numbers. It seems that the growth from tax cuts isn't generating the tax revenues they promised.

Shocking I know.

The findings of our intelligence community on the matter of Russian aggression are not matters of opinion, no matter how powerful and strong Putin's denial. To reject these findings, and to reject the excruciating specific indictment against 12 named Russian operatives in deference to the word of a KGB apparatchik is an act of will on the part of the president. That choice now leaves us contemplating the dark mystery: Why did he do that? What would compel our president to do such a thing? Those are questions that urgently beg for an answer, and it is our job to find that answer. What isn't a mystery is that by choosing to reject object reality in Helsinki, the president let down the free world by giving aid and comfort to an enemy of democracy. In so doing, he dimmed the light of freedom ever so slightly in our country.

White House put out the note a few days ago...saw it on a couple of news things.  (You gotta watch a little more TV...lol....or internet, or something...this was all over the place for a little bit.)  They probably all came from same reporter or two in contact with White House...

That stock market has been flat to declining all year.

GM announced that they stand to lose 2 million car sales just do to the steel/aluminum tariffs.  And 700,000+ jobs are likely to be lost.   Their words, not mine.


Hey, Minions...!  How ya gonna like them apples...??

[heironymouspasparagus]

Yeah... Jim, and Kim Jung Un!   And Donald Trump - another one we don't wanna see...!!  Especially at Olive Garden!

It's been 10 years since the last recession, just based on cycles alone, we are due to be in the crapper again soon.

Too hot to post.  But when I do, it's gonna be about the latest Trump fail - revoking security clearances...   Really?   Just gonna throw away any expertise that may have been available there...   Good move, Minions!    But Congress is bound to push back, right??   I mean, they are doing such a stellar job of keeping the excesses in check...!!

[BKDotCom]

revoking security clearances...   Really?

https://twitter.com/benjaminwittes/status/1021485887383851008

I just texted @Comey asking whether he even has a security clearance to revoke.

"Nope," he responded. There's nothing for POTUS to revoke. Comey says he was "read out" when he left government as per normal practice.

He even recently declined a temporary clearance from the IG to read the classified annex to the IG's recent report. He didn't want to see any classified material lest the president accuse him of leaking it.
