There were frequent anti-trans, anti-Harris attacks on TV (many during sporting events) and on the internet during the election. The tagline was something like "Harris is for 'they/them', Donald Trump is for you."

yep. Biden kind of miraculously managed full employment and low inflation, and seemed ready to continue that indefinitely.
and basically no one cared or credited him for it.
and now we're in hell.
I really think trump doesn't even understand that he's making the jobs number worse by throwing people out of jobs.
like, his whole policy is to cut federal jobs and refuse to pay federal money to other people who are creating jobs.

NBC News: Ghislaine Maxwell was ineligible to be transferred to a minimum security prison camp β like the one she was transferred to in TexasΒ β because she is a convicted sex offender, according to the Bureau of Prison's own designation policy.

TRUMP: Because I thought her numbers were wrong
In my opinion, todayβs Jobs Numbers were RIGGED in order to make the Republicans, and ME, look bad β Just like when they had three great days around the 2024 Presidential Election, and then, those numbers were βtaken awayβ on November 15, 2024, right after the Election, when the Jobs Numbers were massively revised DOWNWARD, making a correction of over 818,000 Jobs β A TOTAL SCAM. Jerome βToo Lateβ Powell is no better! But, the good news is, our Country is doing GREAT!
There is no covid without testing
There is no bad economy if we cook the books
Electing Trump in a free and fair election is one of the greatest own goals in human history
The BLS firing is a textbook example of how personalist authoritarianism causes policy nightmares. It's like Trump is trying to prove why liberal democratic guardrails aren't some kind of luxury, but essential for good governance
01.08.2025 20:34 β π 503 π 128 π¬ 5 π 5We have had stable, professional, vouchsafed information about the physical & economic world for so long that we entirely take it for granted.
