Trump promised the stock market would crash if he was impeached – Nope, it shot up 7%

During his first two years in office, Donald Trump regularly pointed to the stock market as proof of his leadership’s effectiveness. Experts may have shaken their heads, saying that stock values aren’t an accurate measure of the country’s economic performance. But they are popular with voters, who check their 401(k) investments, and, thus, with politicians. Particularly since “presidents can have a major impact on the financial markets in the short run,” said David Kass, professor of finance at the University of Maryland. And getting short-term response in stocks is much easier than long-term fundamental economic gains that can take years to bear fruit. If there’s an election coming up, juicing the markets is something both major parties like to do. When it comes to talking himself up, Trump in particular has compared himself to Barack Obama. So, how do the two presidents measure up in terms of growth in major indexes, measured between their inauguration and May 31 of their third year in office? The short answer is that Trump has quite a way to go. Under Obama, the S&P 500 grew by 56.4%. The Dow Jones Industrials Average was up 50.6% and the Nasdaq, 92.9%. The numbers under Trump were 21.4% for the S&P 500, 25.2% for the Dow, and 34.2% for Nasdaq.

How so tried are we of the crap coming from the Orange Emperor IMPOTUS. As the House voted on articles of impeachment against President Trump this week, US stocks climbed despite the President’s warning that “they would crash.” x If they actually did this the markets would crash.

Even if the votes leading to it might not be secret, perhaps there’s a way to get to removal. it’s not hard to imagine three senators supporting a secret ballot. (A)ccording to current Senate procedure, McConnell will still need a simple majority—51 of the 53 Senate Republicans—to support any resolution...

Louie Gohmert tries to sneak the whistleblower's name into the Congressional record

America’s stupidest congressional representative decided to test his ethical responsibility. NEW: GOHMERT became the first lawmaker to publicly name a person purported by some Trump allies to be the whistleblower. Schiff warned there could be ethics consequences for something like this, though his office is declining to comment. https://t.co/nzDXoovdtc —...

Cases of the Mondays – GOP says nothing to see here, even if it's impeachable

The GOP is playing slow and tight with the truth as Monday in the Judiciary committee begins at 9am ET with more televised testimony.

Individual-1 still doesn't need to know who the whistleblower(s) are

At 1032 pm, Dear Leader tweeted another pathetic taunt in order to divert attention from the impeachment. This is Trump’s most-repeated lie of the Ukraine scandal, according to @ddale8. The whistleblower complaint was highly credible, and many of the key allegations have been confirmed by witnesses who testified. Here’s the...
