How can anyone trust anything that emerges from the BLS when the person in charge of the agency will almost certainly have to come up with data to Trump’s liking?

Answer: They cannot.

Trump has destroyed the credibility of this extraordinarily important source of information.

Almost 90% Of Americans Are Worried About The Cost Of Groceries The cost of food has risen faster than overall inflation in the last year.

Also and while I’m at it — if you don’t say tariffs are taxes on US importers and consumers when citing the revenue the government celebrates that hey’ve brought in, you’re not credible.

Perhaps unpopular opinion — if you’ve been covering business and the economy for 25 years, you don’t have to cite “economists say” to state the truth — that firing the commissioner of the BLS is a bad thing.

Trump Still Polling Well With Working-Class American Pedophiles  WASHINGTON—Despite the president’s sagging approval rating overall, a Gallup Poll released Tuesday confirmed that Donald Trump’s support remained overwhelmingly strong among working-class American pedophiles. “Even though his polling numbers among Americans who are not sexually attracted to children have hit a second-term low, the president’s approval rating is still an impressive 80% among child rapists […]

Better be careful how much truth you tell, guys . . . Trump will come gunnin' for you!

And we're officially at the end of being able to trust the jobs numbers in this country ever again.

Okay, *now you can start to worry about data being manipulated.

Trump demands official overseeing jobs data be fired after dismal employment report President Donald Trump said Friday that he has directed his team to fire the head of the agency that produces the monthly jobs figures, after a weak report showed hiring slowed and was much weaker in ...

"Kill the messenger!"

Something else Trump has in common with Caligula.

Not only is today’s employment report uniquely bad, but revisions to the prior months show that, on average, we have seen 35k net new jobs created for the last 3 months:

JAN: +111K
FEB: +102K
MAR: +120K
APR: +158K
MAY: +19K
JUN: +14K
JUL: +73K

No way to put lipstick on this pig.

CNN: "We came into this week and we said it was a pivotal week for the economy. And I gotta say -- indicator after indicator has turned out worse than expected. Core GDP really showed that the US economy slowed down during Q2. Yesterday's inflation report -- that heated up."

“The president cut your health care so he could build himself a golden ballroom” is a pretty easy message to sell

Yep. Fight by the same rules, or get your ass kicked.

here’s Donny, digging himself deeper on Air Force One as he returned to the States yesterday. Reporter: “Mr. President, one of those stolen persons, did that include Virginia Giuffre?” Donny: “I think so. I think that was one of the people. yeah. he stole her. and by the way, she had no complaints about us, as you know, none whatsoever.” oh, so it’s just a couple of sleazy middle-aged degenerates, bickering because one of them ‘stole’ a teenage girl from the other, as if she were just property — as will happen when everyone in the story fucking sucks. but wait — did Donny say it was Virginia Guiffre? the same Virginia Guiffre who was 16 at the time she worked for Donny and was then trafficked by Ghislaine Maxwell and forced to provide ‘sexual services’ for Epstein and his piece of shit pals for the next two-and-a-half-years? so, Donny had teenage girls working for him at his skeevy Florida golf motel, and he and his dead pedo bestie fought over who got to ‘own’ them — and Donny thinks this story makes him look like the hero. first of all, holy shit. and second of all, holy shit.

from today’s post, on the stunning claims in Donny's ever-shifting story about why he broke up with Jeffrey Epstein —

What happened to bringing prices down on Day 1? Instead we get across the board price hikes because of tariffs.

The Democrats in the House Oversight Committee must hire Maurene Comey. Now.

Every fucking word of this. As a former Member of Congress, I’ve always believed members shouldn’t be allowed to trade stocks. And no way should the Prez or VP be able to. By coming out against the ban on stock trading, Trump proves again he’s the most corrupt DC swamp creature.

Fact: The President of the United States has a worse criminal record than 99% of the people he is deporting.

Dems should vow to impeach Bove and any nominee who did not testify truthfully under oath

Bove is going to be the new Clarence Thomas, but worse (until he gets elevated): A petulant, vindictive asshole who is going to use the bench to make up for his moral emptiness and deep sense of inadequacy

You're a Dem now? Glad to have you. Integrity, courage, and common sense are badly needed and always welcome.

Stable Genius strikes again:

Yep. 💯

Just so’s we’re all clear, almost 3/4 of everything we buy from Europe is now 15% more expensive.

Reminder: We don’t need Ghislaine Maxwell to tell us the truth—it’s already buried in DOJ files they could unseal today.
She’s not a witness. She’s a convicted child rapist and sex trafficker.
Blanche isn’t seeking justice—he’s cutting a deal to keep her quiet.
