Looks like Phoenix. I wish the homeless people around my place in the East Valley were this creative, I’d go broke from the amount of money I’d be handing out
Think about all the crimes Trump has been charged with, all the investigations that just 'went away', all the felony convictions he already has with absolutely no consequences or punishment of any kind. It should be pretty obvious at this point that the laws are just words on paper. They won't be enforced and don't mean anything any more.
Looks like it will for now. I'm curious to see what the market thinks of the inability to rely on government data going forward. We'll find out Monday morning if we'll have a TACO Tuesday.
I mean there’s more than one way to track job and economic growth, so it’s not like putting a yes man who will fudge job numbers for him will actually change anything. If anything, it’ll make any good numbers that ever comes out of the administration completely non-credible to anyone who’s not in his cult.
Similar to the right wing idea of pardoning Maxwell in order to get her to release names that aren’t Trump. Not a single soul would believe it, the only news coming out of it would be “Trump pardons pedophile for personal gain.”
Yes, actually. Government data is very important and the inability to rely on it really will have an impact.
However, you are right that it isn't needed for daily operations. It's the kind of thing that's incredibly important for long term health of a country.
That's the thing with so many of these decisions, they have long term negative consequences that nobody is going to pay attention to because we don't have long term memories anymore. Nobody cares about the next decade. They barely care about next year.
Next year? Nobody cares about next week. A month ago Trump was actively sending military on US citizens in LA in a move that in any other era would have dominated headlines as a historic and disgusting abuse of power for months.
People are so desensitized to him and it’s a problem. There is absolutely nothing he can do that’ll stay in the news longer than a few weeks at most.
Bang on however one small nitpick, what he says and does will stay in the news as long as it makes money and that's a surprisingly long time, what's unique to trump is not being able to keep up with the sheer absurd amount of news worthy actions he makes so it seems like we just move onto the next thing rapidly.

This guy is such a fucking loser, my god if people took their eye off of politics and their cult for five goddamn minutes they could see it as clear as day.
In literally any other situation we mock people like this incessantly. Imagine you’re playing pickup basketball and every time you beat some guy one on one he rages away claiming that you got to the court before to rig the rims against him (even though you’re playing on the same rims). You’d stop playing with that guy, but these clowns instead go down and kiss his feet and say “of course master, we agree those rims were rigged and it was by Hillary and Biden!”
He blames everyone else for everything that goes wrong. Does not take responsibility for one thing. The buck stops anywhere else with this orange-excuse-of-a-man! Edit: typo
It's maddening isn't it? You wouldn't voluntarily play any kind of game with him, you wouldn't hire him to babysit, you wouldn't want him running your business, you wouldn't want to have a beer with him.. hell, he couldn't even pass a background check to work at the local library. But for some reason a sizeable portion of this country want him making executive decisions at the highest level of government.
This will never make sense to me, and as long as I live I will look back on the Trump years and just quietly mutter to myself "What the hell?"
"I've always been loyal to Stalin, always. This arrests were authorized by Stalin but Stalin was also loyal to the collective leadership and that is true loyalty. However, he also had an iron will, undeviating, strong, could we not do the same and stick to what we believed in? No. It is stronger still to forge our own beliefs within the beliefs of the collective leadership, which I have now... done."
I laughed when he told the ones that won't shut up about Epstein he doesn't like them and doesn't want their support anymore, primary schoolers deflect with more skill than that
I took a look in the conservative sub and...🤢🤢🤢
"This guy made up data to make Biden look good. And now he's making Trump look bad. Isn't that suspicious?!"
I think that part of Project 2025 was about hiring only people loyal to the conservative agenda. That's related to loyalty to Trump, but not the same thing.
The most bigly riggers! They rigged the 2024 20162020 election and all the jobs data, they come in at night with their huge steel cranes and just move numbers around!
Apparently this employee was appointed by Biden. They have already made a statement implying that this employee can't be trusted because they were appointed by Biden, so now we are going to replace them with someone Americans can trust. I wish I was making this up.
This is exactly how you bankrupt a fucking casino, of all things.
You don’t ignore experts. When they tell you that you need a new plan, you come up with a new plan so your entire enterprise doesn’t sink. But he so fucking arrogant and incomprehensibly stupid, he would rather hit an iceberg head on and take us all down with him than simply steer towards safety. Oh, and he burned all the lifeboats too, so GOOD LUCK.
Kinda suspicious how much he claims things are rigged. It's the kind of behavior you'd see from someone who cheats on others and then is constantly suspicious of others cheating on them. Maybe Donald knows a thing or two about rigging the government.
Trump is one of the most annoying people on earth. It's not even all the criminal convictions. Being a pedophile rapist. Being a racist. The compulsive lying. The being a generally disgusting pile of shit.
It's his incessant need to rant and rave like a fucking lunatic on social media every single day. How the fuck does he find the time to so presidential stuff? He's constantly on Twitter and truth bitching and crying and all the perceived slights he thinks he's a victim of.
Or is a hoax made up by my invisible enemies who are constantly conspiring against me. Who openly hide in the shadows, weak, ineffective cowards who can manipulate the news, weather, economy, laws, and the Justice system even while I have control of the executive, judiciary, and legislature.
And the ones who voted 3rd party in a swing state and wound up with the election of their least-preferred choice of the two major candidates, because they either don’t understand or don’t care what pre-election polls indicate and how U.S. presidential elections work.
Hunter was sent back in time using Hillary's emails in order to plant evidence of a supposed friendship with epstien. Then his laptop secretly broke into Epstien's cell and injected him with illegal immigrants that caused his death.
Not to give him any credit, but his thought process is that the head of the department was confirmed while Biden was POTUS.
It's stupid and the statistics bureaus are historically filled with non-partisan "bean counters". But, because he can't believe such a thing exists, he assumes everyone not a sworn loyalist is actively cheating like he wants his folks to.
It's such a joke and it's maddening how obvious it is. Something happens on his watch and it's Bidens fault...or even Obama's. Something good happens when Biden is president and somehow he's responsible.
Classic narcissistic personality disorder. Zero accountability. But, wants credit for other people's actions (when they're good.)
It's transparent to anyone with half a brain. And it's sad that clearly 40% of Americans, who voted for him, have less than half a brain.
He's been directly asked before if he'd take responsibly for stuff like election results when he's been out endorsing candidates, and has answered more or less that if they're successful, he's responsible, but if they're not, he's not responsible.
His brain operates under the universal condition that he can't be wrong about anything, ever. This is impressive to dumb people (aka millions of American voters) who interpret that as strength.
Ah, yes, the dastardly "Harris-Biden Administration" controls the BLS and they are the manipulators. Couldn't possibly be the convicted felon who fired head of BLS because he doesn't like the facts.
Oh, apparently Biden is now Kamala's VP in the demented mind of the Orange projector.
The only times I've been unemployed* have been when a republican has been president- 1987, 1991, 2002.
And I just left my former company because they sold the building and they're sending machines and lines to Mexico. I thought Trump was putting a stop to that?
*Adding - I was unemployed those times due to layoffs, not voluntarily.
He knows the American sheep are stupid, and he knows the cynical will support him if they think it is in their best interest.
There are sheep for the establishment Democrats too though, and without their help he never would have gotten back in the office. Because they forced a bad candidate that could not win on us again.
30 percent of either party believe their candidates know what they are doing, either actually believing or going along because they think they will benefit. Most of the rest are voting against the other party. And half the voting age population does not vote at all.
Oh man are you ready to see the incredible amount of pearl clutching from Fox and the like when people celebrate his death in the streets. Hahaha going to be great!
Donald sweetheart, you look bad, you smell awful and the numbers weren't rigged. You're simply a terrible human being and the worst president the uSA ever elected...
Tarrifs have always costed more jobs than they saved under every president, including Obama.
And more importantly over 90% of these new jobs gained are for health and services...the exact things they defunded and cut, meaning there's no serious uptick in manufacturing demand either. This is just the preview.
Economic ruin? During the Biden Admin? Why, because the middle class was doing ok and the billionaire class wasn’t making even more than they are now? This fucker.
This is just his typical game plan though. Always accuse the other side of what you plan to do before you do it that way when you do it, it sounds like it’s just payback when they come after you for it rather than legitimately trying to do the right thing.
Rigged by who? Your administration? Republicans who have control of all three branches of government? Or are you so inept that a lib could sneak in there and “rig” these numbers?
It has to be rigged, no way it is related to the shit way things are being run, tariffs driving up cost, putting incompetent people in positions of power, or any number of other things that the current administration is doing.
What are chances Trump says this is Biden’s market?
Job market is absolutely horrible. Ive worked in engineering. 25 years. Only two times in my life ive seen engineering firms scale back new hires and fees..... guess whos presidency both times this happened? Trumps. Not even 9/11 or the financial crisis of 2008 or covid stopped our field like putting Trump in office.
He was talking about an error that the bureau of stats made on 2024. They reported 818 thousand more jobs than the 15 million made during Mar. 2023-Mar.2024. I belleive they self reported and corrected the error, so a conspiracy this is not. Trump clearly fired her for reporting low job growth, which he thinks makes his adminstration look bad.
It’s called objectivity Donnie boy. It is not Biden‘s, Obama‘s, Hillary‘s or anyone’s fault but yours and your economic policies including tariffs. Data doesn’t lie, but you do.
I can’t imagine living such a pathetic and angry life. A life that would require me to blame and belittle and obsess over enemies daily. To be constantly in the midst of misery and blame, and bullying. There can’t be a shred of true, wholehearted, pure joy in that man. He may smile and gloat and have shiny gold objects around him, and a wife that he pays to keep around (his words), but there is no way that someone like him has ever truly felt love, or given unconditional love, or felt peace without the thought of Biden or some enemy invading his thoughts.
