Mueller's next big reveal

Stunning economic ignorance, fiscal year of the U.S. runs from October to September, fiscal year 2017 included the 1.2% first qtr 2017. Again profits are up, dividends are up, personal income is up, take home pay is up, federal, state and local tax revenue is up. keep whining and complaining which you always do about the federal bureaucrats not getting as much money as you want them to have
GDP is measured Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 for the calendar year, not the federal budget year, oh ignorant one.
 
One is as bad as the other. Yes?

Not in all cases, Sexual assaults can just involve touching while rape is quite quite worse. Rape is a form of sexual assault, but not all sexual assaults are rape. Pretty horrible that people have to actually explain this to you.
 
Oh, by the way what happened to 2016? Hmmmm,

What you want to ignore

Fiscal year 2017

First qtr 2.3
Second qtr 2.2
third qtr 4.2
Fourth qtr. 3.4

Total 12.1 Average over 3%

Calendar year

2.2+4.2+3.4=9.4 so fourth qtr growth of 2.2%= over 3 % growth for both the fiscal and calendar year. Again you cannot seem to admit when wrong

Just try to copy and paste the numbers correctly you show what we already know, you have NO idea what you are talking about. Let the Bureau if Economic Analysis school you:

1st quarter 2018, was 2.2, not 2.3
2nd quarter 2018, was 4.2 not 2.2
3rd quarter 2018, was 3.4 not 4.2

Moreover, 3% isn't some magic benchmark. If 2018 is over 3% (2015 was 2.9%) it's because of the 2nd quarter outlier of 4.2% -- all other quarters are similar to the last few years. Worse, GDP estimates are falling. The 4th Qtr estimate is 2.7%. The estimate for 2019 is 2.2%.
 
The Steele Dossier and the Perils of 'Insurance' Policies
Jonathan Turley, The Hill

[FONT=&quot]". . . Later, confronted with the evidence, Clinton and her campaign finally admitted that the dossier was a campaign-funded document that was pushed by Steele and others to the media.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]In one of his answers to an interrogatory, Steele explained: “Fusion’s immediate client was law firm Perkins Coie. It engaged Fusion to obtain information necessary for Perkins Coie LLP to provide legal advice on the potential impact of Russian involvement on the legal validity of the outcome of the 2016 U.S. Presidential election. Based on that advice, parties such as the Democratic National Committee and HFACC Inc. (also known as ‘Hillary for America’) could consider steps they would be legally entitled to take to challenge the validity of the outcome of that election.” . . . "[/FONT]
 
Here is what matters,

4.7 million NEW jobs created, 3% Annual GDP growth, 7.4% U-6, historic low African/Hispanic American unemployment, record revenue growth for the state and local govt.

The economy has been on this trend since Obama's term in office. In fact, Obama held the lowest African American unemployment numbers until Trump took office. Interestingly, though, Obama's final six months were better economically than Trump's first six months.

Furthermore, none of the numbers prove Trump's economic policy helped our economy. There is a strong argument that while the tax cuts give a temporary adrenaline shot, they are costly in the long run. Some will point to this month's stock market numbers as evidence the tax cut influence is already waning.
 
One is as bad as the other. Yes?

Groping can be considered sexual assault. And no, groping is not as bad as rape, both according to the law and basic common sense.
 
Pretty horrible that people have to actually explain this to you.

Right? Something tells me he's trolling, though.

Please take a civics class and learn about your govt. the first qtr of FISCAL YEAR 2018 began in October 2017 NOT JAN.. This is truly embarrassing and you continue to do a great job of letting the left make a fool out of you

Define an upturn and post the data, until you do you aren't credible

As explained in this case it doesn't matter, Trump needs a 2.2% GDP growth in the fourth qtr. OF CALENDAR YEAR 2018 for 3% GDP growth. Truly is a shame how partisan and poorly informed you are

3% is the ribbon that must be raced through? Obama's 2.9% you called anemic but 3% will be magical, because your ideological icon presided over it. Got it.

The fact is that as the economic sugar wears off, GDP is set to decline. According to The Balance's GDP forecasts, 2018, 2019 and 2020 will be 3.1, 2.5, and 2.0%, respectively. Sorry, that will not hardly be remarkable performance. Oh, in case you are to blame Democrats for that, those estimates were long before the midterms.

First of all I gave the GDP growth both ways, fiscal year and calendar year, second as stated Obama never generated that number coming off what you called the worst recession since the Great Depression and after adding 9.3 trillion to the debt much of which was govt. spending which is a component of GDP. You are truly clueless on economic and civics data and it is embarrassing reading your posts.

Obama vs. Reagan both with similar recessions

There is obviously some reason you continue to promote the Obama disaster along with others, the 2.9% wasn't the issue as that wasn't until 2015, then 2016 dropped again, why? It is obvious to most that you and the anti trump cult will continue to post anything you perceive to be negative just like the 3% number. Projections matter to you when negative but never when positive. that is nothing but a partisan liberal hack who wants America to fail because when America fails liberals celebrate and hope to regain their power and massive promotion of more federal spending, higher taxes, and more dependence. Isn't that accurate?

Interesting how Obama compares himself to JFK and Reagan but not Bill Clinton

https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/01/16/obama-compares-himself-to_n_81835.html

My quote from the past converted to Obama terms


I knew JFK and Reagan, both were friends of mine, and you Barack Obama are neither.

So leftists let's keep the Russian issue on the front burner and work on indoctrinating more people into believing the left's lies, distortions, and negativity.
 
another day, another alt left radical clinging to any hope.

when this is over and trump is still your president...are you gonna keep up the whining and temper tantrums?

The only reason and there is only one, is that the right (GOP) in the senate wouldn't vote to remove Dillinger or Capone

have surrendered all moral values and will keep trump.

That's actually ok, so he and the repubs will suffer a total loss and complete removal from power come 2020.

They should add 2 judges to the SCOTUS.

Hopefully this precipitates the GOP going the way of the Whigs...into the dustbin of history.

BTW for general knowledge, trump has nearly 200 conflicts of interest in total.
