National Dept Under Trump $21 Trillion 1st Time Ever - 5 Billion for Wall Dumb

Under Trump's watch, national debt tops $21 trillion for first time ever

About a year ago, President Trump pledged to eliminate the national debt "over a period of eight years." But for the first time in history, the national debt surpassed $21 trillion this week, according to the U.S. Treasury.

The landmark comes shortly after Congress passed, and Mr. Trump signed, a suspension on the federal debt limit last month, allowing the government to borrow an unlimited amount of money until March 1, 2019.

When Mr. Trump took office on Jan. 20, 2017, the national debt was $19.9 trillion, according to U.S. Treasury data. Since then, the GOP-led Congress has passed a $1.5 trillion tax cut bill and a two-year spending deal which, together, are expected to drive the deficit and debt further upward. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates annual deficits could top $2.1 trillion p

Republicans Set Up Clinton With Monica Lewinsky Starrs GOP - Bull Shit Fars

TIME magazine There's Something About Linda Tripp may have helped trigger the Lewinsky scandal, but tales of her manipulations may now be key to Clinton's counterattack

(TIME, October 5) -- Notes for a book proposal: How to Bring Down Bill Clinton, by Linda R. Tripp. Part 1: Befriend a young woman who has caught the President's wandering eye. "Tripp advised Lewinsky that she was the kind of woman the President would like, and an affair with the President would be a neat thing to tell her grandkids," according to an FBI report prepared for Ken Starr. Then she discovered that Lewinsky and Clinton were already involved. "Tripp kept hounding Lewinsky until Lewinsky finally said, 'Look, I've already had an affair with him and it's over,'" the report said.

Part 2: Fuel Monica's obsession with Clinton--and get the evidence. Tripp coached Lewinsky in her campaign to rekindle the affair, secretly tape-recorded her confessions and got her to document her encounters and preserve crucial evidence. Claiming she was good at identifying "patterns" in relationships, Tripp had Lewinsky create a spreadsheet detailing her visits and phone calls with Clinton. She talked Lewinsky out of having the semen-stained dress cleaned, telling her not to wear it because it made her "look fat," and advising her to lock it in a safe-deposit box because "it could be evidence one day," according to Lewinsky. "And I said that was ludicrous." Tripp helped her compose letters to Clinton and sent her e-mail messages praising a tie she had given him ("stupendous, no kidding, clean, crisp, texture, color, pattern, bright, without being at all over the top&quot and a valentine Monica placed in the Washington Post.

Part 3: Set the trap. In October Tripp told Lewinsky that a friend at the White House had heard rumors about Monica and thought she should "get out of town" and that Clinton should find her a job. "They create jobs at the White House, you know, six days a week," Tripp quoted the friend as saying. And Tripp apparently planted the idea with Monica that Clinton should get lawyer Vernon Jordan to find the job for her. Lewinsky told FBI agents that Tripp had suggested it. Monica later testified that "I know I had discussed [Jordan] with Linda. Either I had had the thought, or she had suggested Vernon Jordan would be a good person who is a close friend of the President and has a lot of contacts in New York."

Part 4: Push for a quid pro quo. When the job hunt was on, Tripp made Lewinsky promise not to sign a Paula Jones affidavit denying sex until her new position was locked up--"because if you sign the affidavit before you get the job, they're never going to give you the job." Had Lewinsky taken her advice, it would have looked like an explicit deal--lies in exchange for employment--when in fact Lewinsky started asking Clinton for job help months before she knew she was a Jones-team target. But here's a neat plot twist: Lewinsky says she lied to Tripp about the affidavit, pretending not to sign it because she hoped to keep Tripp on her side. Monica also says she lied to Tripp about the alleged cover-up, telling her that both Clinton and Jordan had urged her to lie about the affair--which she now says they never explicitl

Trump Economy in YO-YO Decline -600+ Stock Market Today: November 12, 2018

After The Close - Stocks opened lower this morning, and weakened further as the session progressed. Ultimately, the bulls and bargain hunters remained on the sidelines, making it difficult for the major averages to rebound.

At the close of the session, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 602 points; the broader S&P 500 Index was off 55 points; and the technology-heavy NASDAQ was lower by 206 points (nearly a 3% drop). Market breadth showed broad based selling, as declining issues outpaced advancers by a roughly 2 to 1 margin on the NYSE.

Most of the major equity market sectors declined, with steep losses in the technology names. Specifically, shares of Apple (AAPL – Free Apple Stock Report) slipped following investor concerns regarding its business outlook. In contrast, the defensive utilities managed to stage a slight advance.

Matthew Whitaker Pawn for Trump the Biggest Liar In World History!

From October 2014 to September 2017, Whitaker was the executive director of the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust,[27] and the organization's only full-time employee in 2015 and 2016.[28] FACT, founded in late 2014, is a conservative nonprofit organization specializing in legal and ethical issues related to politics.[29][30] The Washington Post reported in February 2015 that "The group is backed by $1 million in seed money from donors who support conservative legal causes", and that Whitaker had declined to identify the donors.[31] According to the organization's first tax return, its funding — $600,000 in 2014 - came from a conservative donor-advised fund called DonorsTrust, a pass-through vehicle that allows donors to remain anonymous.[32]

During Whitaker's tenure at FACT, the organization had a special focus on the Hillary Clinton e-mail controversy and perceived favoritism in the business dealings of Clinton.[33] While the head of FACT, Whitaker wrote opinion pieces that appeared in USA Today and the Washington Examiner, and appeared regularly on conservative talk-radio shows and cable news.[34] For four months, from June to September 2017, he was a CNN contributor.[35]

One month prior to joining the Justice Department, Whitaker wrote an opinion column for CNN titled "Mueller's Investigation of Trump is Going Too Far."[36] He stated that Mueller's investigation should be limited and should not probe into Trump's finances.[37]

Constitutional views
The New York Times' Charlie Savage reported that Whitaker said in a question-and-answer session during his 2014 Iowa Senatorial campaign that "the courts are supposed to be the inferior branch."[38][39] Whitaker was critical of the United States Supreme Court beginning with Marbury v. Madison (1803), the decision that allows judicial review of the constitutionality of the acts of the other branches of government. In the same interview, he criticized a long line of Supreme Court cases.[38] Harvard Law professor Lawrence Tribe described Whitaker's views as “extreme and the overall picture he presents would have virtually no scholarly support,” and they would be “destabilizing” to society if he used the power of the attorney general to advance them."[38]

Yes, Donald Trump will make money for CNN

08/20/2015

At the end of a recent interview with Time Magazine, Donald Trump floated an idea: What if he told CNN that unless they made a $10 million donation to charity, he wouldn't show up at the Sept. 16 GOP debate?

"If I go to CNN and I say, Look, you’re going to have a massive audience, and if I say to them, I want $10 million for charity, nothing for myself, what happens? I’m not showing up, right?" he told Time's

Dow -600+ erases gains for the year - Trumps & GOP Lies Destroying Markets World Economy

Dow erases gains for the year, tumbles more than 600 points as stocks extend October swoon

Stocks plummeted on Wednesday as a sharp drop in tech shares and worries about corporate earnings added fuel to this month’s steep pullback.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 608.01 points at 24,583.42 and erased all of its gains for 2018. The S&P 500 dropped 3.1 percent to 2,656.10 and also turned negative for the year. The Nasdaq Composite fell 4.4 percent to 7,108.40— entering correction territory — as Facebook, Amazon, Netflix and Alphabet all traded lower.

“An increasingly murky macro picture is clouding the 2019 earnings outlook leaving investors to largely shrug off a solid start to the third quarter earnings season,” said Alec Young, managing director of global markets research at FTSE Russell. “While valuations have certainly come down in recent weeks, at 16 times forward earnings for the Russell 1000 index, they aren’t in the bargain basement by any means, especially if earnings growth slows more than expected next year.”

Stocks have taken a beating this month. The Dow has dropped 7.1 percent in October, while the S&P 500 has pulled back 8.9 percent. The Nasdaq, meanwhile, has tumbled 11.7 percent.

Dow -89 Morgan Stanley: The stock sell-off is going to get worse

The stock market is in the middle of a rolling bear market, says Morgan Stanley's Mike Wilson. The stock market sell-off is only going to get worse, predicts Morgan Stanley's chief U.S. equity strategist, Mike Wilson. In a note to clients Monday, he wrote that the pain is not over for growth, discretionary and tech stocks, which been the final holdouts until last week.

S
ell-off. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed 89.44 points lower, while the S&P 500 fell 0.6 percent and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 0.9 percent.

The action followed last week’s rout that saw the major indexes suffer their worst weekly loses since March thanks to fears about rapidly rising interest rates and a possible global economic slowdown.

Wilson said last week that those rising interest rates served as the “tipping point” for the rolling bear market to finally hit the U.S. and “take out the last holdouts.”

Dow/Trump Slump -1300 last 2 days Constant Lies Add Up @ Bonds-Increase in Yields-Tariffs-Debt

U.S. National Debt Clock : Real Time
www.usdebtclock.org/

The Associated Press BY MARLEY JAY, AP Markets Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks sank more than 2 percent Thursday, the second day of steep declines around the globe driven by concerns about rising interest rates and trade tensions that could slow economic growth.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 545 points after dropping 831 points Wednesday. The two-day loss of 5.3 percent is the biggest for Dow since February. The S&P 500 is also down more than 5 percent over the two days and after falling for the past six trading days is almost 7 percent below its Sept. 20 high.

The recent turbulence in financial markets is a contrast to what investors have grown accustomed to in a bull market that has lasted more than 10 years, the longest in history. A hallmark of the past decade has been ultra-low interest rates, which the Federal Reserve used to promote growth in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis.

The Fed has been gradually raising interest rates over the past two years, after not having increased them since the recession. Those higher rates have been the catalyst for recent selling, stoking concerns that slower growth would impinge on corporate profits.
