Andrew Cuomo, Governor of New York,

I just signed a legislation closing New York's double jeopardy loophole, authorizing the state to prosecute individuals pardoned by a President.

Nobody is above the law.

sell that, Magots:

Most Americans have to work to earn a living. But the rich are different: They get most of their income not from labor but from what they own — companies, stocks, real estate and the like.

These income-generating assets are what economists call capital. And because capital is heavily concentrated among the rich, the U.S. government taxed earnings derived from capital at a higher rate than earnings made through labor for the entirety of the 20th century.

But that’s no longer the case, according to economists Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman of the University of California at Berkeley. In their new book, “The Triumph of Injustice,” they present data showing that in 2018, labor income was taxed at a higher rate than capital income for the first time in modern U.S. history.

Oh My Giddy Aunt, what a sh-tshow all around:

WASHINGTON — A former top White House foreign policy adviser told House impeachment investigators this week that she viewed Gordon D. Sondland, the United States ambassador to the European Union, as a potential national security risk because he was so unprepared for his job, according to two people familiar with her private testimony.

The adviser, Fiona Hill, did not accuse Mr. Sondland of acting maliciously or intentionally putting the country at risk. But she described Mr. Sondland, a hotelier and Trump donor-turned-ambassador, as metaphorically driving in an unfamiliar place with no guardrails and no GPS, according to the people, who were not authorized to publicly discuss a deposition that took place behind closed doors.

Ms. Hill, the former senior director for European and Russian affairs at the White House, also said that she raised her concerns with intelligence officials inside the White House, one of the people said.

Mr. Sondland’s lawyer declined to comment.

In her testimony, Ms. Hill described her fears that Mr. Sondland represented a counterintelligence risk because his actions made him vulnerable to foreign governments who could exploit his inexperience. She said Mr. Sondland extensively used a personal cellphone for official diplomatic business and repeatedly told foreign officials they were welcome to come to the White House whenever they liked.

Ms. Hill said that his invitations, which were highly unusual and not communicated to others at the White House, prompted one instance in which Romanian officials arrived at the White House without appointments, citing Mr. Sondland.

Ms. Hill also testified that Mr. Sondland held himself out to foreign officials as someone who could deliver meetings at the White House while also providing the cellphone numbers of American officials to foreigners, the people said. Those actions created additional counterintelligence risks, she said.

Mr. Sondland is scheduled to meet privately with impeachment investigators himself on Thursday, despite directions from the State Department and the White House that he and other witnesses should not cooperate with an investigation because the president and his senior advisers view it as illegitimate. Mr. Sondland’s lawyer has indicated that his client will testify.

De voorgenomen empeachment van Trump is een verkiezingsstunt van de Democraten.

Zoals de heer Briden nota bene als vice president met dekking van Obama zijn gang kon gaan met het toedekken van de malversaties van zijn zoon

Zo leiden democraten de aandacht af door een poging Trump te ontdoen van het presidentschap.

Dat gaat niet lukken.
De waarheid zal zegevieren en de waarheid omtrent de malversaties van de vice president onder Obama zal eens boven water komen.

U.S. consumers unexpectedly pulled back on retail spending for the first time in seven months, reviving fears that a weakening economy could finally be taking its toll on American shoppers just before the pivotal holiday season.

Retail sales dipped 0.3 percent in September from the month before, the U.S. Commerce Department said Wednesday, as shoppers spent less on automobiles, building materials and sporting goods. Sales at department stores fell 1.4 percent from the month before, while online shopping slipped by 0.3 percent.

Concerns grow about whether consumers will spend as economy weakness spreads

Retailers, already rattled by President Trump’s ongoing trade war with China, are watching closely as they prepare for the all-important holiday shopping season. Recent sales declines signal “an early chill for retailers,” Diane Swonk, chief economist at professional services firm Grant Thornton, wrote in a Wednesday note to clients.

Oh sh-t

Briden ging al door het stof

Obama zat te slapen omdat hij niet doorhad wat zijn vice president uitspookte.

Een president van niks.
Goed voor een voedselbonneneconomie.

Daarop zitten Amerikanen allang niet meer te wachten,

The House voted 354-60 on Wednesday on a resolution condemning President Trump's decision to withdraw U.S. troops from northern Syria, which paved the way for Turkey to lead a military offensive against Kurdish forces who allied with the U.S. in the fight against ISIS.

Why it matters: It's a significant bipartisan rebuke of Trump's decision, which he defended at a press conference earlier Wednesday in which he suggested that the Kurds are "not angels." The resolution calls on Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to cease his military operation and urges the White House to "present a clear and specific plan for the enduring defeat of ISIS," which could see a resurgence as the U.S. plans a total withdrawal from Syria.

Ik vergeef Obama nooit dat hij een economie in vrije val erfde van de GOP, en alles op alles zette om het land uit de prut te trekken, daarbij veel van zijn krediet verspelend. En het lukte nog ook! Onvergevelijk!

Ik vergeef Obama nooit dat hij een universeel ziektekostenprogramma door het congress wist te loodsen (met dank aan Biden) en zodoende tientallen miljoenen kinderen een betere toekomst kon geven.

ik vergeef Obama nooit dat hij een belastingverlaging doordrukte die miljarden naar de rijkste 1% van de bevoling stuurde, en zo iedere mogelijkheid om John Modal op te stuwen naar een betere toekomst verpletterde.

Oh wacht, dat was Obama niet.....

It’s true that the number of people enrolled in SNAP initially increased during the Obama administration — reaching a peak average monthly enrollment of 47.6 million in fiscal year 2013. That rise was a consequence of the deep recession that began in 2007, according to a 2012 report by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

However, as the economy recovered and poverty and unemployment rates decreased, so did SNAP enrollment, according to the USDA’s Economic Research Service. Enrollment was down to 42.7 million in January 2017, when Obama left office.

That decline has continued under Trump.

Enrollment went down by 1.35 million from January 2017, when Trump took office, to December 2017, according to the most recent monthly figures from the USDA, which administers SNAP. By comparison, enrollment declined by 1.88 million over the same time period in 2016 when Obama was president, from 44,852,347 in January 2016 to 42,969,079 in December 2016.

Oftewel:
SNAP steeg toen Obama bezig was de rotzooi van de GOP op te ruimen, en de VS op de rand van de afgrond stond.
En toen hij dat had gepresteerd, daalde Snap enrollment..

Zo zie je maar, feiten en context.
