So the first Cohen tape has been released. There is allegedly more to come.

Quote:

In a newly published recording, President Donald Trump and his former personal attorney Michael Cohen talk about the process of paying former Playboy model Karen McDougal for the story of her affair with Trump. “I need to open up a company for the transfer of all of that info regarding our friend David,” Cohen is heard saying on the recording, referring to David Pecker, head of American Media. That company owns the National Enquirer, which paid McDougal $150,000 to “catch and kill” her story. Trump then interrupts Cohen in the recording, asking, “What financing?” Cohen responds that they would “have to pay,” to which Trump is heard responding “pay with cash.” Cohen is heard saying “no, no” before the tape cuts short. Cohen’s attorney Lanny Davis, who provided CNN with the tape, compared Trump to a mobster Tuesday night on Chris Cuomo Primetime. “Everybody heard just now Donald Trump say the word ‘cash’ after Michael Cohen mentioned financing,” he said. “Donald Trump, despite what Rudy Giuliani said publicly, the tape contradicts Mr. Giuliani and the word ‘cash’ is heard by everyone.”

Voters prefer a D House over a R House by a margin of 51-39%.

WOMEN support Ds 57-32%.

MEN support Rs 46–44%.

white men splits have to be like 80/20 R

The split for white men in that poll is 52-38. White women are 39-53 the other way. Whites with a college degree are 53-40 Democratic, whites without a college degree are 50-39 Republican.

Racism may very well be in their best interest. It gives them a social status above the bottom.

**** voting in your best interest anyway. If I'm ever somehow in a position to vastly benefit from conservative policies, I'm still never voting for that.

The only criteria I’m going to assess going forward is the candidate’s ability to own the cons.

4.1%.

Quote:

”The economy is doing quite well,” said Michael Feroli, chief U.S. economist at JPMorgan Chase & Co. “It’ll be hard to repeat this performance on a sustained basis,” as the boost to demand from tax cuts may fade, the dollar’s strength could curb exports and tariffs present a risk, he said.

Yeah, and basically all of it to the investor class. Wages aren't going up.

That's not true. Lifting environmental restrictions to boost economy means that global warming will come faster, and the lower class has to pay less for heating bills.

How many people actually own stock, anyway?

More wealth redistributed to the top .1%.

Uh, yes, that is exactly right. Roughly half of Americans don't own stock. They are worse off now, as wages have fallen. The next 40 percent of Americans own about 14 percent of all the stock value owned by Americans. They figure to be roughly break even. The disproportionate majority of the gains are going to the very wealthiest.

I'm looking at the weekly wages data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Like 52%. Most of the Red Hats jerking off over the economy are seeing little or no direct benefit from it.

Temporarily embarrassed millionaires...

also, apparently that is not a graph of the first derivative, showing us that the second derivative recently became negative... like the graph seems to say it is

it's a graph of the discount from some past baseline
