In terms of modern calculation of real Gross Domestic Product, the last
eleven years in the United States have been worse overall than the
Great Depression.

Michael Cohen to Cuomo in 2016: Certainly hoped to go into Trump's administration
2016 Michael Cohen Interview Shows He ‘Certainly Hoped’ He’d Be Offered a White House Job:
The hope that Cohen expressed during that interview directly
contradicts what he told the House Oversight and Reform Committee on
Wednesday.
New House lefties tell moderate Democrat Blue Dogs and Republicans to STFU, just like lefty social media deplatforms the right, threaten primarying and draconian rule changes
House Democrats explode in recriminations as liberals lash out at moderates:
[T]he [Democrat] party's moderates - many of them freshmen taking their first congressional votes ... insist that they are not going to be dissuaded from voting with their districts, and many are warning that majority control is at stake."It's this class of members that got elected that are the reason we have the majority," said Rep. Stephanie Murphy, D-Fla., a co-chairwoman of the moderate Blue Dog Coalition. "Many of them come from these (moderate) districts, and their promise to their constituents was that they were going to put people over politics."
What amounts to the second estimate of Q4GDP is out today, and the calendar year 2018 figure is just 2.9%
2016: 1.6%
2017: 2.2%
2018: 2.9%
America has not had a 3.0% real GDP or better year since 2005 . . . fourteen years ago.
Pathetic. Disgusting. An indictment of the policies of both political parties and of American business.
No jobs, no hope, no America I once knew at all.

Sentencing document shows Michael Cohen had administration ambitions
Rush Limbaugh had this right today: Cohen Caught in Multiple Lies Again.
THE GOVERNMENT’S SENTENCING MEMORANDUM:
THE GOVERNMENT’S SENTENCING MEMORANDUM:
[These crimes] each involve deception, and were each motivated by
personal greed and ambition. ... his desire for even greater wealth and
influence precipitated an extensive course of criminal conduct ... .
His actions suggest that Cohen relished the status of ultimate fixer --
a role that he embraced as recently as May 2018. Cohen was driven by
a desire to further ingratiate himself with a potential future President --
for whose political success Cohen himself claimed credit --
and arranged for the payments in an attempt to increase his
power and influence. ...
Cohen privately bragged to friends and reporters, including in recorded
conversations, that he had made the payment ... .
Cohen’s criminal violations of the federal election laws were also stirred,
like his other crimes, by his own ambition and greed. During and after the
campaign, Cohen privately told friends and colleagues, including in seized
text messages, that he expected to be given a prominent role and title in
the new administration. When that did not materialize, Cohen found a way
to monetize his relationship with and access to the President.
Coulter thinks talk of a Cohen motive is idiotic, believes prosecutors suborned perjury by Cohen in previous and today's testimony
Pretty wild thing to say about Robert Mueller? Well, he did knowingly prosecute the wrong guy in the anthrax case. Cohen could've been put away for a loooooooooooooong time. When the elites discard the moral absolutes taught by Christian civilization #democracydiesindarkness.
The Cohen testimony today shows Democrat Congress' contempt for the American people, and for itself
Cohen is going to jail for lying to Congress, so nothing he says today could possibly be trusted. In fact, he lied to Congress again in today's testimony, saying he never wanted a position in the Trump administration, when his sentencing documents show that he did, and earnestly. The fact that he was passed over for a position shows he had quite the motive to turn against Trump, and make unfounded accusations.
If the Democrat Congress had any integrity, it wouldn't put up such a bald-faced liar. If it had any self respect, it wouldn't put up someone who lied to it, and lies to it again.
This is self-hating shit.
LA Times: No construction for Trump's wall has begun anywhere because he signed border deal
If Trump had been serious about building the wall, he wouldn't have signed a border deal which ties his hands. He would have vetoed it and proceeded with the national emergency.
Had he done so, legislators would have had little choice but to pass a continuing resolution to fund the government departments threatened with a shutdown at existing levels.
That's the art of the deal, Mr. Big Stuff, but Mr. Big Stuff is all bark and no bite.
No construction for Trump’s wall has begun anywhere, although officials have started or completed fence replacement projects in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.
Trump, who made building a border wall a central promise of his campaign, declared the emergency on Feb. 15 to bypass Congress and shift up to $6.6 billion, mostly from the Pentagon budget, to build — or rebuild — 234 miles of fencing.
Trump acted after Congress had appropriated only $1.375 billion for 55 miles of border barrier in the Rio Grande Valley, far less than he wanted.
But the 1,169-page appropriations bill Trump signed into law when he issued his emergency declaration also contained restrictions on construction in specific towns, parks and wildlife reserves along about 150 miles of the border in the Rio Grande Valley, which is the administration’s top priority for building new barriers. The restrictions have thwarted Trump’s efforts to build a wall there, at least for now.
An aide to Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas), who helped negotiate the restrictions, said it’s not clear if the terms of the spending bill would override the emergency declaration, or vice versa, leaving landowners and town officials in limbo.
13 Republicans vote with Democrats against National Emergency
Two in Michigan, two in Wisconsin, two in Washington.
The wall will stop the cheap illegal agricultural migrant labor used to pick the apples, grapes, etc. and pour profits into the hands of greedy Republican farmers, who are the real problem.

Trump approval at 52% in the Rasmussen poll was 15 days ago but Rush Limbaugh is still repeating it
Rasmussen has Trump at 49% for the last six days.
Norway is Europe's most anti-semitic country, and Minnesota, home of Ilhan Omar, is the Quisling State
"You're blowing our cover, Ms. Omar, and making us look bad".
America finally becomes East Germany as men posing as women triumph in athletics
A wall that needs tearing down is needed though, to complete the analogy.
Oh wait, the prototypes are being demolished!
