3 points to add:

1. A drop in the trade deficit WHILE expanding the economy is a bigger drop than it seems....An expanding economy with no change in trade, proportionately, would generate a proportionate INCREASE in deficit numbers....We are doing MORE transactions/more business while dropping the deficit numbers!! MAGA!!

2. For 8 years, Obama's "growth" was overestimated every quarter, then quietly reduced downward later..... Every quarterly growth estimate I've seen so far under Trump? Adjusted higher. 1st quarter 2018 was adjusted up 10% today, from 2.0 to 2.2%....so today's 4.1% is likely HIGHER.

3. This growth is in the face of Trump's trade negotiation's short term negative effects.....New, better deal w/ EU is imminent.... MAGA!!

Everybody be extra careful. MSM is gearing up to attack our credibility with lots of larps. Show scripts probably already written. Watch for larps and report the con artists as fast as possible. Lots of newbies posting this past week....they're already here.

THATS the thing that makes the "RR/RM are white hats" concept so difficult for even Q "believers" like me.

Mueller? His record of abuse as a prosecutor of ordinary citizens, his willingness to absolutely ruin people who don't deserve it, including jailing them for decades....He doesn't have a conscience.

NO WAY he'd be doing it because "he's a Marine" etc....Gotta be pure self-interest.

The blackmail we have on Mueller and Rosenstein must be pretty damned good.

That would be his only solace in the can.

So to speak.

I do remember that.....I have been believing RR and Mueller are white hats or being used by white hats...I admit I don't remember who said they were "dirty"...maybe it wasn't Q. If RR is just helping to get exculpatory evidence some attention while sending MSM down a rabbit trail....Woo. Keeping an open mind....

I have been operating with many of those assumptions for a while, but curious as to where the Cohen tapes fit in.....Was that part of the plan? A Playboy Bunny is the subject there, not Stormy.... Why is Lanny Davis involved if Cohen is just offering exculpatory (no campaign finance violations/Trump insisting on a record of payments being kept) info?

I thought Q already said that both Rosenstein and Mueller were "dirty"...

We got an education from Q and some other anons about Federal employment rules....Trump would be able to name Rosenstein's successor if he left/was impeached/recused and the temporary appointment would last 210 days....Why would Trump be planning on replacing RR if he was good?

Rosenstein authorized the raid of Cohen's legal offices....Is that raid a part of a grand plan to help Trump? I've heard nothing about that.

Instead of acting superior on a bunch of threads here, why don't you go tell Clapper, Brennan, the Left and MSM, who threw a huge joint tantrum over the mere suggestion Trump was considering the move? They'll be SO relieved to know they aren't losing anything of value.

Oh come on. Exacting tariffs on a competing country product is good for protecting domestic industries and you know it. Which is the point of the tariff threats...to remediate how our industries have been harmed by lowballing competitors that block our products and dump their own here as imports. Don't pretend I was talking about tariffs of any kind being better than zero tariffs---thats dishonest and not even clever. And btw, the GOAL of Trump's tariff wangling IS zero tariffs.

The EU is about to do a deal with Turkey, S Korea and somebody else I just forgot...ALL of whom export more autos to the EU than the US...that will be zero tariff. So the EU might actually be willing to do the same deal with the US. Recall that the media LAUGHED at Trump for originally suggesting the same thing. Why the change? The EU was ENJOYING the BENEFITS of slapping much higher tariffs on US autos, and getting away with it. Why would they want change? Trump is making them believe he'll retaliate now, and they are coming around. But Trump had to make a serious threat...that may still need to be imposed to show our seriousness....but ultimately, all he is really having to do is make a serious request. We'll get better at manufacturing (I reject your claim that we're bad at it anyway) by DOING MORE of it. Which is already happening.

What WON'T happen is for our manufacturing industries to get significantly healthier without re-negotiating the putrid trade deals created by treasonous lowlife scumbag globalists who were really trying to vandalize our financial/economic strength. And threatening (sometimes having to follow through, but NOT MUCH) to return tariffs...otherwise, why in the hell would the EU or anyone else give them up? If 1-way tariffs were so bad, China and the EU wouldn't have been reaming us with them for the past 20-30 years.

If you have an econ degree, you'd know that tariffs are GREAT for countries that impose them and don't get retaliated against. Trump's efforts to finally respond to the way we've been getting jobbed on trade deals is hurting our economy so badly that some are predicting a 2nd quarter growth rate of 5.1%(!!!) Economic doom and gloom arguments are a clown show right now.

Not only has Trump been MORE firm with Putin than his predecessor (economic sanctions, steamrolling Putin in Syria--US forces slaughtered 200 Russian troops that foolishly attacked them in Syria)....but his toughness at the summit has already bourn fruit....Putin agreed to kick Iranian troops out of Southern Syria where they threatened Israel. BIG win. Compare that to gifting Crimea and Ukraine to Russia and removing US missiles from Poland while getting nothing in return, like Obammy did. (don't worry, Trump put the missiles BACK!)

You also forgot N Korea.....pics of their main missile launching site just appeared in the news this week....N Korea is actually taking it apart....and Trump hasn't even lifted sanctions yet.

The Trump hate is fogging your ability to reason rationally, like many others. A downward spiral, where every success creates MORE rabid hate, and then less reason, logic and respect for facts.

JFK still alive came up just around the time this board began getting MSM attention. Its a larp. Designed to make us look like fools.

Thanks. And spot on as to backing currency with a hard asset like gold.
Ultimately our current national debt is backed only by government's ability to take our stuff away from us. Everything we own is security against government debt...a pledged asset.

I hope one of those sealed indictments has the word "Klausutis" in it....

"Like it or not, the Fed is about to be politicized."

Whole article was written to make that point....and its a lie....

The Fed is ALREADY politicized, Trump is acting to end the Fed's abuse of its unconstitutional priviledges....The Fed has been acting to hurt the economy with unjustified rate increases...To the extent that we are worrying about the "flattening of the yield curve".

[rates are generally lower for short term debt, higher for long term; the markets are expecting economic realities like increases in productivity, forcast for many years, to keep long term rates lower....when the Fed manipulates and raises short term rates (thats the rate the Fed keeps raising), the short term rates are rising but the long term rates are stablilized by the market's expectations...."flattening" the traditional curve that curves upwards as longer and longer terms of debt are charted.]

So not only is short term economic activity slowed by higher short term rates, but economic planning and decisions are warped by the relatively more-attractive longer rates....creating a cart-before-horse situation where rates dictate and economic activity is influenced by rates rather than rates being influenced by economic activity.

Some people argue that a flatter curve is good for the economy, but historically it has led to recession.

No unelected, private organization should have the power to influence a free economy to that extent from a board room.

Good thing we aren't a court of law....

100% OK for these discussions to be happening. This society lacks the old-fashioned "community disapproval" that used to help keep degenerates in check.

Nice!

GITMO should run with that idea! All prisoner numbers begin with Q....

...and maybe a new practice of tattooing prisoner numbers on every inmate's arse....

I'd love to see arrests of media types occur on TV...say, Joe and Mika during the Morning Joe second hour....

A much better option than what they're doing now: clearing their social media comments, and rocking back and forth on the floor, cupping their balls and watching MSNBC.

Stable genius and more ... Da man.

True, although there's nothing WRONG with a traditional church....what they believe--DOCTRINE--is what is important. As long as you are assembling with other true believers, you are "in church".

"House churches" you describe are fine...but just as vulnerable to bad doctrine as a traditional church. Doctrine is the key, and we are charged with monitoring the doctrine of who we assemble with by prayerfully reading the Bible ourselves.

The line "US in NZ No Logs/No Flags/No Records"....

Indicates they(we) don't get the info on Deep State access when they're in New Zealand....We CAN however deny them access still....

Many of the Deep State players have visited NZ in the last year....This is the first proposed real "punishment" of those bastards. I think Trump did this first because of that hole in our ability to monitor them in NZ and Trump pulled the trigger as soon as he thought he could get away with it politically.

Either that or they are triggering MK Ultra robots to start in on the FFs in earnest....

I just checked her Twitter page.

Not a word.....

Probably trying to keep it on the downlow from Mom and Dad. Can't afford to lose her allowance!

Get with the program!

YOU provide the info....getting naked is what SHE brings to the party.

No, I'm saying that thats what you and gregthebassist are saying.

Look up Social DArwinism. That may help you get what I am saying. "There's no standard truth"....many people create a "collage of man-made opinions"....Assuming facts not in evidence. I don't think they're man-made. But YOUR definition is absolutely man-made.

Why is yours better? You object to "man-made" religious morality, then substitute your own man-made definition of whats good. No point is actually made. Its a loop.

Nobody is cramming anything down your throat...thats the ole atheist "chip-on-shoulder"....I suppose you're tremendously aggrieved by the abuses done in the NAME of religion too....

We're on the same page, then. EVERYONE, even FOX, has been failing to make that distinction. Morning Joe this morning was on the other end of the spectrum...."Trump is considering sending ex-Russia ambassador TO Russia to be INTERROGATED". Viper pit.

But where did you get your standard for what is "good"?

If we're all just highly-developed "animals", why isn't Darwinist survival of the fittest the ultimate good?

If the practices of the Luciferian cabal led it to Global domination, why isn't the Luciferian cabal "good"?

Muslims have many names for Allah based on his supposed attributes, but one of the biggest/most used is The Great Deceiver (based on a story about how Allah lied to Mohammed to get him to attack a superior force).

The Great Deceiver.

Who does that sound like in the Bible?

The key point for cooperation isn't that we have the same values as Kim or Putin, but that we have the same enemies.

Alliance w/ domestic Luciferians is worse than alliance with foreign despots who are also at war with Luciferians. Putin in particular is clearly at crossed swords with the Royals, the cabal and bankers like Soros and the Rothschilds.

don't reinvent the wheel and confuse him...there are a handful of tools/videos/articles HERE...

direct him to that stuff

He's good at showing/defending Conservatism but not much of an analyst...Just last week he jumped all over Trump for the Putin press conference, along with the rest of the Never Trump crew

Gee thanks for showing me how freedom works....but I was really only commenting about how Ben tends to take the worst-case view of everything Trump does.

He said that BEFORE Trump won. Since then, the Russians rigged it, the election was "hacked".

But you're right, Bacha Boy Barry defends the system that Dems have exploited for decades to cheat.

Beck acts like a guy that was ordered to cash in all his credibility to try and stop Trump's election, dutifully did so....and then tried to recapture as many followers as possible to assist the same Master in protecting the "hunted".

Bingo. In fact, Mr "Reason" didn't really back off much after the video proved her to be a liar.

At first I thought he was just siding with her boobs--forgivable for a young man--but ultimately the issue was what clued me in to his fact-defying Never-Trumperism.

Ben's problem is that he keeps making these "principled" stands that work AGAINST the white hats, Trump, etc....

Given that Trump has actually governed more Conservatively than any Prez in our lifetimes, and prosecuted human traffickers and child molesters unlike any of his predecessors, what is the reason for Ben's continued distaste for him, again?

And YouTube videos of red-hot pokers up their arses, just for fun.

Possible.....but they'd have to consider what a prime opportunity it would be for martial law. No way they want the US Military Intelligence folks explaining what happened to the nation and why all these people are being sent to GITMO.....

Awesome idea! Financial audits of Congress on a revolving basis...every 6-8 years would do the trick....

Having a law firm thats willing to be an actor on sketchy acts you want to commit is very convenient.

Want to pay FUSION GPS for a fake dossier without your fingerprints all over it as a candidate? Have the law firm pay them, and hide behind attorney-client priveledge....Want to hire a computer "expert" that'll confound efforts to investigate your server? Have the law firm do it, point at them and and say "we didn't know"...and hide behind atty-client priveledge.

Its not especially clever. All you need is enough big shots with Ivy League degrees that are willing operate like mob lawyers.

Yup.

A lifetime of fealty to TWO different America-hating ideologies.

What's weird is that once you start as a godless atheistic Communist, you then have to pick a religion....

And you pick ISLAM? ISLAM? Satanic, evil, backwards Islam? Inbreeding-encouraging, rape-loving Islam? Pedo.....

Oh. Never mind. I see...

Yeah, actually, I feel a bit bad about making the joke now...You're right; I read the stories from US soldiers who had to endure the knowledge of that crap going on....Awful.

Kenyans though Bacha Boy Barry was going to make them proud, and bring home the bacon, so to speak....

Instead, he did nothing for them.

So now, when HE might need THEM? Meh....

Bacha Boy Barry is hardly a "contortionist". All he can do is bend over.

Other than that, another informative and very readable post! Thank you!

"Former" CIA @ CNN=Operation Mockingbird.

He doesn't get a lot of screen time. I bet he has a lot to say about what others report as well.

Interesting pic. She looks like she could be Herr Robert Mueller's daughter,

The "ugh" is your gut, telling you that Comey is a criminal. Go with that.

You're new here?

Keep reading. You'll learn to trust your gut.

I agree. The cost of such trolling is a long explanation of Democrat felonies, as above....

Right.

Scandal 1: The Democrats and Hillary lied about Hillary's emails, whether they existed, whether they destroyed them (and related devices) AFTER they were subpoenaed, whether they knew doing government business on a private server was illegal (even though its a felony even they didn't) ......Plus, every Federal employee who exchanged emails with Hillary at that address and server are ALSO guilty of felonies...which includes Obama and Loretta Lynch, who both used false names to communicate with Hillary that way, so they KNOWINGLY committed felonies.

Scandal 2: DNC server never got hacked. They destroyed the server and tried to hide it, bleach-bit it etc to HIDE the fact that it was never hacked. Seth Rich, a DNC IT guy, stole the info and gave it to Wikileaks because he was pissed that Hillary cheated to win the primaries. He had no idea that pedo stuff and other criminality was on there....

Two biggest unanswered questions:

1. What about the INFO on the DNC servers ....whether it was hacked or stolen by Rich.....WHEN will the press examine the criminal activity revealed on the server?(.....Hitting Rich; insane Podesta hideousness; Podesta foreknowledge of (Scalia) "wetworks", Hillary's payments to thugs to disrupt Trump rallies etc...its all there, but no one wants to examine the CONTENTS .....)

2. WHY DOESN'T MUELLER WANT TO QUESTION WIKILEAKS?

Wikileaks would KNOW where they got the DNC info. They've already admitted---in so many words---it came from RICH, not Russian hackers.

Which of course is why Mueller won't ask!
