Ya the foundation of the investigation is based on lies and rumors, zero evidence. And it appears the prior administration helped push the narrative to their Pravda media.

I suspect a correct interpretation of that would be:

"While I've been winning in public, the old knuckleheads have been under quiet investigation. Hold on to your hats, folks."

I suspect a more correct interpretation of that would be:

"My lawyers just realized that Mueller has more evidence that directly links me to Russia than we thought he had and I really wish I could fire his a**... I'm so screwed."

They ain’t good guys, according to an ex-CIA agent...

Former CIA Officer John Kiriakou: John Brennan and Robert Mueller "Set Out To Ruin People" | Video | RealClearPolitics

"The injustice is incredible," he said, "this is why I'm so happy to have this opportunity to speak with you tonight because I know Robert Mueller and I know John Brennan, and this is what they do. They set out to ruin people."

"Russiagate that has nothing whatsoever to do with Russia, by the way. And none of these indictments have anything to do with anything. They're what are called throw-away indictments," he said. "So, what you have is a man, Robert Mueller, who chooses a person, and then looks for a crime to hang on the person rather than discovering a crime and then investigating to see who committed the crime."

I was just watching the 10:00 news on WKRN and they were talking about Trump's rally for Marsha Blackburn. They interviewed a few Trumptsers inside then showed some of Trump's address.... then they interviewed some Williamson Democratic Party member there to protest and let her bash Trump a little... they then said the auditorium wasn't totally full, but that a good crowd showed up..... then they said the weather kept the numbers down for both sides and showed the democratic group there to protest and there were three people standing there.... lol.... three!

It's a basic economics term to describe people who have fallen out of the core statistics of the unemployment rate after long-term unemployment and are therefore classified as "discouraged". In some cases, this may derive from a variety of factors including a shortage of jobs in their locality or line of work; a lack of necessary skills, training and experience or chronic illness or disability. It is also possible that a "discouraged worker" has found a source of income in the underground economy substantial enough to sustain their desired lifestyle.

As a general practice, discouraged workers, who are marginally attached to the labor force, on the margins of the labor force or as part of hidden unemployment, are not considered a part of the labor force, and are thus not counted in most official unemployment rates - which influences the appearance and interpretation of unemployment statistics.

Although some countries offer alternative measures of the unemployment rate, the primary existence of the category of "discouraged workers" is to account for the likelihood that the employment status of these people could not be altered by a government change of policy or the upswing of the economy. In some cases, these people (including some housewives who may have left the labor force after getting married and having children) do not have a job because they do not need a job. It would skew the statistics to include them as being unemployed.

While that sounds like you copped it from somewhere, there are other groups of older workers that belong in the unemployed category.

One is the highly skilled highly paid worker in a niche market that no longer exists. After losing a job they go sign up at the unemployment office, check the local and regional listings, search the internet job listings, send out dozens of resumes, go for interviews and do not get hired. They are told they are "over qualified" or "we just do a much simpler work here, we don't need what you can do here". All because they know if the level of job skill that provides commensurate remmuneration reappears, you'll be gone in a heart beat. You can't lie or leave out huge blocks of time on a resume.

Another is where one spouse retains a well paying job and can meet loan obligations even though the other well payed spouse's job ceases to exist. There is no option of packing up the fam and moving to what is known to be a temporary job. The family is tied to a specific location because of the necessity to make the ends meet, but the quality of family life has been hugely diminished.

Leaving these "discouraged workers" and most of those you describe out of the work force calculation is BS.

Sure, there are those who don't care if they work or not. But to leave out long term unemployed who would indeed work if someone would hire them, ... that's just wrong.

And those who say they could find a job if they wanted to... they've just got a cob up their ass.

Each Trump-goes-golfing weekend costs $2 million, so he's far outpacing Mueller. And Mueller is actually doing important work, not shanking 5 irons.

Take it up with the Secret Service and see if they’ll let him fly commercial or use his own 757?

Presidential travel has always cost ridiculous money. I imagine if you liked the President this wouldn’t be an issue tho.

Oh. And Mueller is doing zilch that’s important.

And you'll get results. Either there will be something or nothing. What we're paying for is the high degree of confidence we are going to have with whatever he finds (or doesn't find).

I want my share of that money back then. I haven’t got the confidence he could catch the clap in a Nevada chicken ranch.
