Merry Christmas from Donald Trump

Not sure where you work, but when people leave my company, whether it be voluntary or involuntary, we shut of vmail, email and access to systems. Even for the employees who we love and they love us. Just good business. This clown doesn’t need top secret clearance. Just another opportunity for him to be hacked or get compromised. Think Anthony wiener using that skinny ho huma’s computer to sext with underage girls, etc. bad judgment by Hillary, and yes, it all comes back to Hillary

Many people like him work for security and defense contractors that help the country. We need people like Brenan who have a lifetime of knowledge and service to the country to continue in that capacity. They're not on government email servers - it's just discussing classified information when necessary.

If Trump was voiding clearances for everyone that would be one thing. But he isn't - it's targeted only at a few who have spoken up against him or worked for Obama. He's not even smart enough to make it look anything less than trying to shut people up. But don't fret tRumpie - the GOP congress won't do anything about it. After November that will change. That's when you need to start worrying

Another false narrative.
Why should 50 % of Americans that have increased their wealth be viewed as a negative ?
What about the Pension Plans and Investments that are funding the income of current and future retirees ? Their isn't an advantage there ? That's isn't a positive ?
When the stock prices increase it creates value. When corporate are reduced , it makes businesses more competitive on a global scale, and frees up more dollars for other ventures including increasing employment levels.
Of course, those are not guarantees, but together with the relaxation of specific regulations and the decreases appears to be responsible for the increased economic growth.

wage increases have not been " wiped out by inflation " . you are spending too time paying attention to short bursts f propaganda for those with short attention spans. Most of those claims are based on the a specific list of consumer goods, out of the illions and millions of products available. Prices n America vary by region, availability, access, the weather, and hundreds of other factors.

And right on course, the class warfare argument that the Leftists like to bring up. If you think the present economic rise and tax benefits are only helping the rich, do some research regarding the current economy of New York City. Home of the rich, the very rich, the poor, and very poor, and everyone in between.

Currently, New York City has some of the lowest unemployment figures in history. And that is happening in all the boroughs, not just Manhattan. The overall economic GDP growth is slightly behind the national trends, but the economy there is doing very well. And it is across all the different races, ethnic groups, every group.

The irony is that New York City didn't vote for Trump, they were with her. Now they are reaping some of the benefits .

They didn't vote for him because they know what a smarmy con man he is. He was a life long Democrat and is a Republican of convenience. Also, NY is doing well for many reasons at the state and local level, not because of anything he has done. Smart steps like no taxes for new companies that set up shop in NY are adding jobs to the state.

Making the already wealthy more wealthy does not help the country. Trickle down is a failed economic theory. Real wage growth was 2.7% over last year. Inflation grew at 2%. Wage growth prior to 2008 had been clocking in at 5%. That's real growth, not .7%. Multiple sources of flat wage growth including government statistics. The rising tide is not lifting all boats. https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/realer.pdf

"That mismatch has puzzled economists, although they have proposed some possible explanations: The decline of worker bargaining power, the erosion of labor standards and the high cost of living in big cities that keeps people from moving there for better jobs.

Meanwhile, unemployment is expected to keep dropping through the end of this year, https://money.cnn.com/2018/06/13/new...ex.htmlmeaning it's not hard to find a job — it's just hard to find one that covers all the bills. "

Stick to the facts. Did you research the income gains across the board? Why the deflection back to the " rich " and trickle down ? The working class in New York City are doing better than when Obama was President. That is a fact.

Once again you are basing an argument on figures without much application to real life. Those economic figures of earnings do not reflect unreported income. They only involve wages , not the addition of other wealth. My friend just sold two buildings in New York. made a profit and bought three others. That economic gain was not registered in your statistics regarding wages. Same with millions of other America. E Bay ? Even Flea markets, Craigslist , all areas where people generate income. On and on and on.

" covers all the bills "
Quite a generalization. Does " cover the bills ' include the ever increasing amounts spent on cell phones ? Additionally , so many consumer products are cheaper , and you now get more for your money. Living and dying on statistics and figures keeps you in the shadows of ignorance.

It is just the standard line from the left that America is doomed under Trump. It just can't be that America will prosper under his Administration. Despite all the evidence of economic growth, there is always the " but " and then the conversation goes back to racism, " constitutional crisis " , " attack of our democracy " , the " dictator " .

He has the Authority under the US Constitution. Congress isn't even part of the equation. If Brennan , or any other person with their access taken away wants to make a case, they need to go to Court. And it will eventually end up in the Supreme Court. And similar to their ruling on the Travel Ban, they would most likely not interfere with the decisions of the President regarding National Security. Regardless of what he says was the reason, the access to highly classified material is a national security issue , and right now, the MSM and everyone else does not have all the facts of the matter. Of course, there are no guarantees, but the ball is in Brennan's Court if he wishes to pursue it. Good Luck.

The rhetoric you hear about " free speech " doesn't hold water. Brennan was on Twitter MSNBC and whoever else would buy him lunch within an hour after he was notified.

Your friend is a real example of a typical American benefiting from the economy. SMH. Beside which, all real estate is local. CT real estate is in the crapper. So by your logic NY is benefiting from Trump, not local factors, but CT isn't growing because of local factors? Is that how it works?

When treatment of workers is politically motivated and not justified by any other reason that's a real issue. That's what authoritarian regimes do.

You miss the point. The example of the sold real estate was just to indicate income that does not show up in reported wages. The amount of " profit" gained isn't relative to the point, just that there was profit made. And that profit is not reported as wages.

The reason CT isn't growing is too long a list for this thread.

PS Do less cut and paste and more thinking.

Authoritarian Regimes don't have SCOTUS.

Half of all Americans don't own one stock, not even in a pension or IRA because they don't have that. His fans haven't fully realized they're not benefiting from the stock market rise or even the tax cuts. They got a few $ in their paychecks but next April will be the real test. Not all will be happy with what they see. There's been no real rise in wages either - it's all been wiped out by inflation. The top 10% and corporations are the beneficiaries - along with Trump, his family and all his wealthy donors and pals. Once his fans finally realize they aren't getting what he promised the turn will be vicious - if he's even in office that long

Oh that's what's going to get Trump, when his supporters figure out that they more money in their pockets? Yup, that'll get him for sure.

Elections have consequences. And SCOTUS is just the tip of the iceberg. While the MSM media keeps the Russian Hysteria, the Gossip, innuendo and outrageous behavior front and center, Conservative leaning Judges have been , and continue to be appointed all over the country. Hundreds of them.

Trump trying to lay blame D.C. for cancelling his ill conceived ego fest/military parade. Claims it's because of what DC. is charging. D.C. mayor responded immediately calling out his bullsh**. He's only cancelling because of fierce backlash at its stupidity and $90M price tag.

He also claimed Aretha Franklin worked for him "many times". She performed she at his casino in the 1980s. She refused to sing at his inauguration when asked. Everyone is playing the clips of her performingfor Obama. I'm sure he'd live to call her a dog but at least has enough decorumoney not to speak I'll of the dead.

Keep following the narrative of the MSM . It is very important to get worked up over those issue. meanwhile....

The confirmation on Tuesday of Britt C. Grant, 40, a Georgia Supreme Court justice who was once a clerk for Judge Kavanaugh, was Mr. Trump’s 24th circuit court appointment — more than any other president had secured at this point in his presidency since the creation of the regional circuit court system in 1891, according to an analysis of judicial records by The New York Times. The Senate did not confirm President Barack Obama’s 24th nominee to the regional circuit courts until the fourth year of his presidency.

Of the 167 spots on those courts nationwide, Trump nominees will now occupy one of every seven, though the majority of those nominees replaced judges who were also appointed by Republican presidents.
