"Less Math, More MAGA" - Trump Fires BLS Chief for Using Facts

If you don't test for Covid then the numbers won't go up.

Funny, that.

That's a dictatorship.

It was only a matter of time. Authoritarianism has a common playbook.

"Slow the testing down!"

He thinks the employment numbers are too low so he fires someone?

How many more traitors will commit micro-aggressions against our dear lord and savior.

How much more treachery can a man stand before he breaks?

I’d like to see an AI-generated version of Dee Plorable. I feel like she wears yellowing underwear.

How is the market reacting?

The market will react very poorly r8. The last thing they want is to make investments based on shitty data.

R9 it won't be shitty if you invest in TRUMP

R10 You're fired. I'm not hearing my name in the first three syllables.

CNN this morning:

"THE WORST ECONOMIC JOBS REPORT SINCE THE END OF THE PANDEMIC."

You don't need AI, r7.

I need a break from this afternoon. I have to go watch some cute dog videos before I lose my mind.

R14, this African waterhole is very soothing too -- & fascinating when elephant herds show up.

Trump can grab my pussy if he can find it under all those rolls of fat

He’s a dumb cunt and so are his shit-for-brains supporters.

Thanks r15, it looks very soothing indeed.

Tom Nichols:

This is how the old Soviet Union managed its statistics: Make sure the people doing the statistics knew what was expected of them.

Now the African waterhole cam is showing a giraffe, 2 rhinos, & some kind of little critters.

It’s really cool, r20. They are blissfully unaware of the mayhem humans are causing (well, one “human” in particular).

There are facts. And then there are "alternative facts." The latter must be "created."

Bad timing. If he was going to fire her, he should have done it at the beginning.

There are no words for this wreck of a man- who is literally wrecking the US aided by the most idiotic clack of incompetent Cabinet lunatics in American history.

R14, here's a tiny clip of Nori trying to explain to Minka why this is HER storage room, and that Minka has her very own room, complete with queen-size bed and a chesser full of bedazzled collars where Nori is NOT welcome.

Minka no care; Minka's no TACO.

No bullshit, law and order president is a 34 time felon and a master manipulator. Color me shocked.

Pics please.

They can jerry rig the numbers all they want but if employment declines further, prices go even higher and the stock market declines enough, the numbers they publish won't matter to the general population. People will be pissed but have no recourse.

This is all planned - cut health care, education, any Govt. assistance programs, cause hyper-inflation, food scarcity and you have a stew of social unrest which will be tamped down by some sort of ICE brigade or even Martial Law. Slowly they are chipping away at once was American Democracy.

Fun times ahead.

Trump took office a little over 6 months ago. We're only 1/8th into this term. This is just the beginning, folks. In 3 years our country is going to be unrecognizable.

It already is, r29.

Good news! The concrete Rose Garden patio is finished.

Pottyo iz hard on knees for when I entertain president’s guests after State Dinner ends, so I get Swarovski crystal crusted knee pads in contract renewal.

" I am very proud to announce the appointment of a new BLS Chief, Ghislaine Maxwell. Her record of significantly adding to the employment rates and economy has been well publicized. Although I have never met her, I am positive that she will make a HUGE difference in keeping America #1."

Many times, I've thought to myself - why can't he just die?

Nice one R33. You're probably correct...

"This is a Biden job report. Sleepy Joe. The worst president in history. But we are coming back greater than ever."

I defended Melania's rose garden rehab but this is atrocious. This isn't Melania's doing. Who did this?

Of course , those bad job numbers are the only fresh evidence that would actually support his demand to lower the fed rate. But he’s too stupid to see that.

Do you mean concreting over the rose garden R37?

Normally, yes, they would be r38. But it’s very troublesome that inflation is still having a huge effect on families. Yes it has eased, but: “inflation rate was 2.7%, according to Bankrate, down from a high of 9.1% in June 2022. However, while the rate of price increases has slowed, prices are still higher than they were before the recent inflation surge.”

Powell knows this, hence his holding interest rates where they are. What a clusterfuck. You are so right that Dump would perhaps get his wish to lower interest rates based on these bad jobs reports, but now we should expect to have glowing reports coming out.

Bearking News!

Has MAGA tried her as a witch yet?

I think that is terrazzo with flimsy white painted drain covers and a concrete border?

I initially assumed it was unfinished, but I can’t imagine any changes that would improve the appearance. It looks very bad.

I’m assuming this is some type of entertaining space? The only thing I can think of is they want to be able to have functions where people can do sliding dance moves. And that is a real stretch and still doesn’t explain the choice of color. It’s not like people are gong to go barefoot. It doesn’t need to stay cool.

This is Biden's economy!

And don't forget the enablers in the Republican party. Even the so-called moderates like those old cunts Murkowski and Collins.
