    I heard 6 to 24 million. Betting it's on the lower end after this sentence.
    This is what it's like to be a powerful, wealthy, white man in America. No remorse, no apology, nothing.  And he gets less than 4 years - with 9 months served - not sure if that comes off of the 47 months. 

    Blameless life? Are you kidding? 

    And his lawyer basically only said 'no collusion' afterwards. Didn't thank the judge or say his client is grateful.  Both Manafort and the attorney were speaking to one person and it wasn't the judge. 

    I wonder if the pardon is in the works for after his Washington DC sentencing........

    apparently, what i read, is that the idea is he went light as it lessened the possibility of trump pardoning him, and also, he faces sentencing next week by a judge for other crimes who is likely to throw the book at him and can make the sentences run consecutively.

    This sounds like a silver lining more than the intent by the judge.  But perhaps...

    Get ready for some CRAZY cooked job numbers today.

    A quick stop down Jeff Sessions way, where said phony job numbers will be touted (because what says massive tornado relief better than jobsjobsjobs) and then off to Florida!  2 hours is PLENTY of time to solve what ails sweet home Alabama.  

    Hit em straight Don Trump.  Hit em straight.

    The material is endless. Everyone knew what a joke he was and remains to be.

    And the US elects him to serve as president? That's a major f**king turnover of the cosmically ignorant variety. I mean... there are people that eat mattresses for kicks- so I understand that the fat orange man would have a fan base... but electing him as the president?

    Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

    ooops  my bad.

    Weak Jobs Report Clouds the Economic Picture

    Employers increased payrolls by only 20,000 in February, a stark contrast to the two preceding months.

    It's probably because all those job numbers are phony.

    Only 20,000? Wow. Canada apparently added 56,000 full time jobs in February. Given the population differences, that's pretty striking.

    I came to realize this during my last trip to the US. I had multiple Americans tell me that the jobs numbers are complete bullshit - they told me not to believe those phony baloney numbers at all. This seemed to definitely be the overwhelming majority opinion, and it came from individuals from across the country, as I was at a big corporate conference (which is why so many conversations I had touched on this subject - just about everyone there was mostly talking about the economy and jobs the whole time). I was frankly surprised by this. I didn't realize they fudged numbers so much by essentially not including a ton of unemployed people in the unemployment numbers.

    Team Trump Treason claimed that the very honorable judge in the Manafort sentencing said “there was no collusion, didn’t collude with RussiAh.” So, there was that.

    During the Super Bowl, an otherwise incredibly boring event, Donald Trump was photographed at Mar-a-lago with Li Yang, who goes by Cindy, the Florida businesswoman who founded the massage parlor where Trump’s friend and Patriots owner Robert Kraft was charged with soliciting prostitution late last month.

    Sure, but there have been several indictments already, though usually not when expected. I don’t think the expectation was for the report today.

    If team Muller put out a tweet that tomorrow they were dropping indictments I’d tend to believe them ! Outside of that I don’t believe anyone who proclaims tomorrow is the day I’m not sure why some posters here do ? If you didn’t hear it from the horses mouth it’s not true ...
