Bloomberg’s Noah Smith said that while it’s too soon to reach a definitive conclusion, it does appear that the Republican tax cuts are failing to provide much of a boost for American workers. The only thing that’s booming is stock buybacks, while business investment is only moderately higher and
wages are falling. “Huge, immediate gains for wealthy shareholders combined with tepid increases in business investment and decreases in real wages don’t paint a flattering picture of the tax cut’s impact so far,” Smith wrote.
Oh looky, sardis...it came with a chart.

John Brennan’s anti-Trump tweets grow more and more maniacal. His latest tweet holds that Donald Trump’s Russian diplomacy in Helsinki “rises to & exceeds the threshold of ‘high crimes & misdemeanors.’ It was nothing short of treasonous.”
That tells people all they need to know about the unseriousness of the left’s impeachment drive, not to mention exposing once again the demented malice behind the Obama administration’s spying on the Trump campaign.
The unhinged criticism is also hilariously rich, given that John Brennan, who supported the Soviet-controlled American Communist Party, meets the textbook definition of a useful idiot for the Russians. At the height of the Cold War, he was rooting for the Reds, casting his vote in 1976 for Gus Hall, the American Communist Party’s presidential candidate. If anyone is adept at serving as a dupe for the Russians, it is John Brennan. To paraphrase John Kerry, he was for them before he was against them.
What changed? ...Brennan deplored Reagan’s description of the Soviet Union as an evil empire and joined other leftists in demanding that he pursue détente with Marxist thugs who make Putin look like a piker. Were Russia still collectivist, he would be using his Twitter account, which boasts his belief in the “collective future,” to praise, not trash, diplomatic gestures.
Anybody familiar with Brennan’s past, which includes not only supporting the evil empire of the Soviets but also the evil empire of radical Islam (his time as Obama’s CIA director was marked by apologetics for the thugs of the Muslim Brotherhood, ludicrous attempts to sanitize the concept of jihad, and nonstop whitewashing of the problem of Islamic terrorism), can only laugh at his anti-Trump antics. That the media gives this fulminating fool and fraud a platform is a measure of its own lack of seriousness and absurdly sudden hawkishness.
The outrage about the Trump-Putin meeting is empty noise, generated by the America Last crowd to hurt an America First president. It won’t work. From Hillary to Pelosi to Brennan, they are the little lefties who cried wolf — after decades of feeding wolves. Their credibility is nil; their counsel is immature and reckless.
“Not only were Trump’s comments imbecilic, he is wholly in the pocket of Putin” gasped Brennan. “Republican Patriots: Where are you???” Other than members of the resistance and reflexive Trump-haters, no one takes these juvenile smears seriously. It is humorous to see these self-proclaimed “adults” hazing Trump for not behaving like a childish hothead. If another president were prioritizing peace over retaliatory tit-for-tat, they would praise him. But since the diplomacy is coming from Trump, it has to be “treasonous.”
Brennan isn’t just throwing stones from his glass house but boulders. He once said that he feared his support for Soviet stooge Gus Hall threatened his entrance into the CIA in 1980. This sounds like a wild satirical parody, but it isn’t: a dupe for the Soviet Union rises to the top of the CIA, uses his position to shill for Islamic radicals, eggs the FBI into spying on the Trump campaign, then leaves the CIA only to resume the radicalism of his youth, calling for civil disobedience and the overthrow of a duly elected president. Brennan’s only expertise on treachery comes from his own.

Obama loyalists still at CIA fuel radical Islam
Jerome Corsi | Infowars.com - February 16, 2017
WASHINGTON, D.C. – It’s time to “drain the swamp” at the CIA, as former CIA Director John Brennan, a clear Muslim sympathizer, packed the agency with Obama loyalists determined to bring down the Trump administration. Looking for anti-Trump leakers, President Trump needs to be as concerned about the CIA as the NSA.

The Muslim part is nonsense, but Brennan DID vote for the Communist Party in the 70's.
I wonder why Brennan liked the Russians back when they had all Eastern Europe walled in, threatening Western Europe with a YUGE army, putting nuclear missiles in Cuba, invading Czechoslovakia, sending hundreds of thousands off to gulags, etc. but he HATES the Russians now...

FFS he was a college longhair who voted for Gus Hall over Jerry Ford and Jimma Carter - a protest vote. It's not like he was a streaker or he butt-chugged beer. Hell, as a joke I voted for a WWE wrestler as our next county mayor and he won his primary by 17 votes. "Kane" is almost surely going to be elected next month.

After the Helsinki summit, when TDS media hysteria reached even greater heights, the NBC/WSJ poll shows Trump's approval numbers went UP. That increase came from the GOP base, whose approval of Trump is now the highest in his presidency.

Here in GA, one gubernatorial candidate's polls jump 6 points the day after Trump endorsed him.
This just keeps getting better and better.

(NBC News) Young voters are flocking to register to vote in key battleground states in the wake of the February school shooting at a Parkland, Fla. high school, according to a new analysis from Democratic data firm TargetSmart.
The report, released exclusively to NBC News, shows that young voters between the ages of 18 and 29 years old make up an increasing share of those registering to vote in a handful of key states.
Pennsylvania has seen the sharpest increase—61 percent of new voter registrations come from young voters, compared to 45 percent before the shooting.

Republicans will counter by circulating on Snapchat and instagram 50% off coupons for video games, 420, skinny jeans, lean, tats, gages, piercings, Uber rides, psych meds, yoga, tide pods, and snortable condoms. The new young voters will be so distracted they will forget to vote.

For the G.O.P., these midterms are a puzzle box of a kind that they haven’t faced in several cycles, if ever. “Republican consultants in the last eight years have had a very easy job—that’s running against Barack Obama. . . . Now we have to do things differently and nobody is used to it yet,” a G.O.P. strategist, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told me. “That boogeyman is gone.”
And arguably, the new Republican boogeyman is the leader of the party. Since he ascended to the Oval Office, Donald Trump has maintained a vice-like grip on the base of the Republican Party. And yet, while Trump’s popularity has largely proven to be non-transferable, his flagging approval rating—which, despite a recent uptick, is still hovering in the low 40s—augurs suppressed Republican turnout and heightened energy on the left in the midterms.
So Republican candidates are facing an impossible strategic choice, one that is to some degree independent of the president’s approval rating or any economic factor: tack toward Trump, and potentially lose the center, or forgo Trumpian red meat and watch the base stay home. “What you do when you appeal to that 33 percent is you peel off another 50 percent of the voters who will go, ‘Fuck you, I will crawl over broken glass to vote against you because you are a goddamn Donald Trumper,’” Rick Wilson, a G.O.P. strategist and vocal Never Trumper, told me, adding that without Clinton, Trump “has to stand on his own two feet.” And although Trump won’t be on the ballot in 2018, every Republican candidate this fall will be viewed as a Trump proxy. Meanwhile, Democrats will have the luxury of focusing their energy elsewhere. “They get to do that because they’re out of power. That’s a big advantage to them,” the Republican strategist told me. “They let the national environment take care of it and they run on issues that are local and important.” -from "The Canaries are Dying", Vanity Fair

That can't be correct, Prof has assured us that the split b/w virulent Trumpers and everybody else is dead even, a 50/50 split. This guy clearly doesn't know what he's talking about. 33 percent? Pfffffttt....

I just listened to Judge Napalitino on Faux describe the 1st released Cohen/Trump audio tape as a conspiracy to commit fraud, and almost a sure violation of campaign finance laws.
Then you have Rudy claiming Donnie said check instead of cash, when the whole world hears "cash". Rudy believes Trump's role in the conspiracy is mitigated if it's accepted that DJT wanted a record of the hush money transaction...a transaction that he as president claimed he had no knowledge of, whatsoever.
Then you have the WH changing the transcripts of the Helsinki press conference, deleting the AP reporters direct question to Putin about whether he supported and directed his underlings to help Trump win his election. And how the WH won't correct the official record. The word "Orwellian" keeps appearing in lamestream media headlines.
Then you have Trump tweeting something as obnoxious as "I'm so tough on Russia that they are supporting the democrats." Later he stood in front of a podium and declared that "what you are going to see and hear (in the media) is not real." Basically, don't believe your senses, believe me. As a handful here will gladly do.
You can't make this stuff up, yet we're living through it

Meanwhile, the Midwest keeps looking at the ever-escalating mass insanity of the MSM, the transformation of the Democrat party into the Socialist Workers Party, and then notice the economy started booming after Trump’s policies were enacted, and see Trump keeping one campaign promise after another, and they just keep getting redder and redder.
