Sanders has long accepted the patronage and help of alt-left figures like Mubarak and dopey bartender AOC, so his relationship with Grayson Lanza is no surprise. For a campaign and movement of people who claim to be inclusive… they sure don’t seem like it!

“The WEAKEST Economy Since the Great Depression” – President Trump RIPS “Con Job” Barack Obama After he Takes Credit for Economy — HERE’S THE TRUTH

On President ’ s Day former President Obama took a cheap shot at President Trump by taking credit for the Trump economy .
Eleven years ago today , near the bottom of the worst recession in generations , I signed the Recovery Act , paving the way for more than a decade of economic growth and the longest streak of job creation in American history .
pic.twitter.com/BmdXrxUAUf What a crock .
Recall how Obama used to blame everything on GWB ?
Now he takes credit for president Trump ’ s achievements ?
The notion that you did anything but destroy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hilarious .
“ Those jobs are never coming back .
What ’ s he going to do , wave a magic wand ?
” Yes , @ realDonaldTrump did exactly that .
Your only sad legacy was your blatant lies about ObamaCare .
https : //t.co/1vCePXZ3tv The Trump Campaign also hit back at Obama ’ s latest lie earlier today .
President Trump fired back : Did you hear the latest con job ?
President Obama is now trying to take credit for the Economic Boom taking place under the Trump Administration .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Great Depression , despite Zero Fed Rate & MASSIVE quantitative easing .
NOW , best jobs numbers .ever .
Had to rebuild our military , which was totally depleted .
Fed Rate UP , taxes and regulations WAY DOWN .
If Dems won in 2016 , the USA would be in big economic ( Depression ? )
& military trouble right now .
THE BEST IS YET TO COME .
KEEP AMERICA GREAT !

Fed Rate UP , taxes and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in 2016 , the USA would be in big economic ( Depression ? )

THE BEST IS YET TO COME .
KEEP AMERICA GREAT !
Of course , President Trump is correct .
Barack Obama had the worst recovery since the Great Depression .
President Trump laid out his historic successes to the American people in his State of the Union Address .
Here is how Trump started off his SOTU Address .
Three years ago , we launched the great American comeback .
Tonight , I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ results .
Jobs are booming , incomes are soaring , poverty is plummeting , crime is falling , confidence is surging , and our country is thriving and highly respected again !
America ’ s enemies are on the run , America ’ s fortunes are on the rise , and America ’ s future is blazing bright .
The years of economic decay are over .
The days of our country being used , taken advantage of , and even scorned by other nations are long behind us .
Gone too are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tired platitudes , and constant excuses for the depletion of American wealth , power , and prestige .
In just 3 short years , we have shattered the mentality of American decline , and we have rejected the downsizing of America ’ s destiny .
We are moving forward at a pace that was unimaginable just a short time ago , and we are never going back !
I am thrilled to report to you tonight that our economy is the best it has ever been .
Our military is completely rebuilt , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the world — and it is not even close .
Our borders are secure .
Our families are flourishing .
Our values are renewed .
Our pride is restored .
And for all these reasons , I say to the people of our great country , and to the Members of Congress before me : The State of our Union is stronger than ever before !
The vision I will lay out this evening demonstrates how we are building the world ’ s most prosperous and inclusive society — one where every citizen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ success , and where every community can take part in America ’ s extraordinary rise .
From the instant I took office , I moved rapidly to revive the United States economy — slashing a record number of job-killing regulations , enacting historic and record-setting tax cuts , and fighting for fair and reciprocal trade agreements .
Our agenda is relentlessly pro-worker , pro-family , pro-growth , and , most of all , pro-American .
We are advancing with unbridled optimism and lifting high our citizens of every race , color , religion @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , we have created 7 million new jobs — 5 million more than Government experts projected during the previous administration .
The unemployment rate is the lowest in over half a century .
Incredibly , the average unemployment rate under my Administration is lower than any administration in the history of our country .
If we had not reversed the failed economic policies of the previous administration , the world would not now be witness to America ’ s great economic success .
The unemployment rates for African-Americans , Hispanic-Americans , and Asian-Americans @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
African-American youth unemployment has reached an all-time low .
African-American poverty has declined to the lowest rate ever recorded .
The unemployment rate for women reached the lowest level in almost 70 years — and last year , women filled 72 percent of all new jobs added .
The unemployment rate for disabled Americans has reached an all-time low .
Workers without a high school diploma have achieved the lowest unemployment rate recorded in United States history .
A record number of young Americans are now employed .
Under the last administration @ @ @ @ @ @ @ added to the food stamp rolls .
Under my Administration , 7 million Americans have come off of food stamps , and 10 million people have been lifted off of welfare .
In 8 years under the last administration , over 300,000 working-age people dropped out of the workforce .
In just 3 years of my Administration , 3.5 million working-age people have joined the workforce .
Since my election , the net worth of the bottom half of wage-earners has increased by 47 percent — 3 times faster than the increase for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of flat and falling incomes , wages are rising fast — and , wonderfully , they are rising fastest for low-income workers , who have seen a 16 percent pay-increase since my election .
This is a blue collar boom .
Real median household income is now at the highest level ever recorded !
Since my election , United States stock markets have soared 70 percent , adding more than $ 12 trillion to our Nation ’ s wealth , transcending anything anyone believed was possible — this , as other countries are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reached amazing new heights .
All of those millions of people with 401 ( k ) s and pensions are doing far better than they have ever done before with increases of 60 , 70 , 80 , 90 , and even 100 percent .
Jobs and investment are pouring into 9,000 previously-neglected neighborhoods thanks to Opportunity Zones , a plan spearheaded by Senator Tim Scott as part of our great Republican tax cuts .
In other words , wealthy people and companies are pouring money into poor neighborhoods or areas that have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ creating jobs , energy , and excitement .
This is the first time that these deserving communities have seen anything like this .
It is all working !
Opportunity Zones are helping Americans like Army Veteran Tony Rankins from Cincinnati , Ohio .
After struggling with drug addiction , Tony lost his job , his house , and his family — he was homeless .
But then Tony found a construction company that invests in Opportunity Zones .
He is now a top tradesman , drug-free , reunited with his family , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Keep up the great work .
Our roaring economy has , for the first time ever , given many former prisoners the ability to get a great job and a fresh start .
This second chance at life is made possible because we passed landmark Criminal Justice Reform into law .
Everybody said that Criminal Justice Reform could not be done , but I got it done , and the people in this room got it done .
Thanks to our bold regulatory reduction campaign , the United States has become the number @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the world , by far .
With the tremendous progress we have made over the past 3 years , America is now energy independent , and energy jobs , like so many elements of our country , are at a record high .
We are doing numbers that no one would have thought possible just 3 years ago .
Likewise , we are restoring our Nation ’ s manufacturing might , even though predictions were that this could never be done .
After losing 60,000 factories under the previous two administrations , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ under my Administration with thousands upon thousands of plants and factories being planned or built .
We have created over half a million new manufacturing jobs .
Companies are not leaving ; they are coming back .
Everybody wants to be where the action is , and the United States of America is , indeed , where the action is .
One of the single biggest promises I made to the American people was to replace the disastrous NAFTA trade deal .
In fact , unfair trade is perhaps the single biggest reason @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Following NAFTA ’ s adoption , our Nation lost one in four manufacturing jobs .
Many politicians came and went , pledging to change or replace NAFTA — only to do absolutely nothing .
But unlike so many who came before me , I keep my promises .
Six days ago , I replaced NAFTA and signed the brand new United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement ( USMCA ) into law .
The USMCA will create nearly 100,000 new high-paying American auto jobs , and massively boost exports for our farmers , ranchers , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trade with Mexico and Canada to a much higher degree , but also to a much greater level of fairness and reciprocity .
This is the first major trade deal in many years to earn the strong backing of America ’ s labor unions .

Since my election, the net worth of the bottom half of wage-earners has increased by 47 percent — 3 times faster than the increase for the top 1 percent. After decades of flat and falling incomes, wages are rising fast — and, wonderfully, they are rising fastest for low-income workers, who have seen a 16 percent pay-increase since my election. This is a blue collar boom.
Real median household income is now at the highest level ever recorded!
Since my election, United States stock markets have soared 70 percent, adding more than $12 trillion to our Nation’s wealth, transcending anything anyone believed was possible — this, as other countries are not doing well. Consumer confidence has reached amazing new heights.
All of those millions of people with 401(k)s and pensions are doing far better than they have ever done before with increases of 60, 70, 80, 90, and even 100 percent.
Jobs and investment are pouring into 9,000 previously-neglected neighborhoods thanks to Opportunity Zones, a plan spearheaded by Senator Tim Scott as part of our great Republican tax cuts. In other words, wealthy people and companies are pouring money into poor neighborhoods or areas that have not seen investment in many decades, creating jobs, energy, and excitement. This is the first time that these deserving communities have seen anything like this. It is all working!
Opportunity Zones are helping Americans like Army Veteran Tony Rankins from Cincinnati, Ohio. After struggling with drug addiction, Tony lost his job, his house, and his family — he was homeless. But then Tony found a construction company that invests in Opportunity Zones. He is now a top tradesman, drug-free, reunited with his family, and he is here tonight. Tony: Keep up the great work.
Our roaring economy has, for the first time ever, given many former prisoners the ability to get a great job and a fresh start. This second chance at life is made possible because we passed landmark Criminal Justice Reform into law. Everybody said that Criminal Justice Reform could not be done, but I got it done, and the people in this room got it done.
Thanks to our bold regulatory reduction campaign, the United States has become the number one producer of oil and natural gas in the world, by far. With the tremendous progress we have made over the past 3 years, America is now energy independent, and energy jobs, like so many elements of our country, are at a record high. We are doing numbers that no one would have thought possible just 3 years ago.
Likewise, we are restoring our Nation’s manufacturing might, even though predictions were that this could never be done. After losing 60,000 factories under the previous two administrations, America has now gained 12,000 new factories under my Administration with thousands upon thousands of plants and factories being planned or built. We have created over half a million new manufacturing jobs. Companies are not leaving; they are coming back. Everybody wants to be where the action is, and the United States of America is, indeed, where the action is.
One of the single biggest promises I made to the American people was to replace the disastrous NAFTA trade deal. In fact, unfair trade is perhaps the single biggest reason that I decided to run for President. Following NAFTA’s adoption, our Nation lost one in four manufacturing jobs. Many politicians came and went, pledging to change or replace NAFTA — only to do absolutely nothing. But unlike so many who came before me, I keep my promises. Six days ago, I replaced NAFTA and signed the brand new United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) into law.
The USMCA will create nearly 100,000 new high-paying American auto jobs, and massively boost exports for our farmers, ranchers, and factory workers. It will also bring trade with Mexico and Canada to a much higher degree, but also to a much greater level of fairness and reciprocity. This is the first major trade deal in many years to earn the strong backing of America’s labor unions.

Last Monday Federal Judge Emmet Sullivan canceled General Flynn’s sentencing scheduled for February 27 “until further order of the court.”
General Flynn formally asked to withdraw his guilty plea last month and accused federal prosecutors of “egregious government misconduct.”
Federal prosecutors then backed down and offered Flynn probation after asking for up to six months prison time.
Flynn’s lawyers are still working through withdrawing Flynn’s guilty plea because the government asked for an extension to consider Flynn’s motion to withdraw his plea.
Flynn’s lawyer Sidney Powell opposed the extension and argued, “The Department of Justice should agree to the withdrawal of the plea. Accordingly we oppose any further extension of the briefing schedule.”
So Judge Sullivan indefinitely postponed Flynn’s sentencing hearing.

Four of Mueller’s thug prosecutors resigned last week after Bill Barr refiled their abusive sentencing memo recommending 67-year-old Roger Stone spend 7 to 9 years in prison.
The Department of Justice last week said it was “shocked” at the excessive prison term being sought by Mueller’s prosecutors because it wasn’t what the DOJ was initially briefed on.
“The Department was shocked to see the sentencing recommendation in the filing in the Stone case last night,” the official told Fox News. “The sentencing recommendation was not what had been briefed to the Department.”
The Democrat-media complex is now attacking Barr and claiming the DOJ is in crisis.
Eric Holder encouraged DOJ officials to stay in the Department so they can snitch on Barr for doing his job.
ERIC HOLDER: To the men and women of DOJ/FBI: do NOT resign, stay strong, in all your actions be true to the oath you have sworn, report wrongdoing. The era of Trump and Barr will pass-their slander, insults and corrupt acts will end. We – the American people – respect & believe in you.

This is rich coming from Eric Holder, the most corrupt Attorney General in US history.
Holder was held in both criminal and civil contempt over his failure to turn over documents related to the “Fast and Furious” scandal.
In December of 2010, Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was murdered by drug smugglers from Mexico who used firearms given to them by US feds in what was revealed to be Eric Holder’s “Fast and Furious” operation.
