Trump says the -818k 2024 benchmark payroll revisions show BLS commissioner McEntarfer was political and incompetent. Let’s look at the facts.
1. The revisions were released in Aug 2024, not Nov 15 as the president said. So the BLS release showing far less job growth came 3 mos. BEFORE the election

New nuclear crisis for the weekend? Thoughts.

1. "Nuclear submarines" can refer to any type of nuclear submarine - SSN, SSGN, SSBN.

2. No need to worry too much about Trump's statements. After all, in 2017 he also claimed that he had sent two nuclear submarines to the Korean peninsula.

Haven’t been on much.

Not easy these days.

@dvsteff.bsky.social is one of my favorite people - was fortunate to meet him a few months ago.

Hope this thread makes folks calmer.

He also has an amazing gif game and a brilliant sense of American cartoons.

Ken Casey put a punk band together thirty years ago. He didn’t have to to do this. He’s a good man and the Dropkicks are righteous.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social - not your cup of tea, but thought you might appreciate it.

Not With a Bang, but With a Truth Social Post The president is rattling a nuclear saber as a distraction.

Trump has initiated a new era in which the chief executive can use threats regarding the most powerful weapons on Earth to salve his ego and improve his political fortunes. Once upon a time, America was governed by serious people. No longer.

In his later years, my dad “may have” gone into a theater at noon (paying for the early show) and kind of “made a day of it” between several shows until after dinner time…

At least he was out of the house…🤷🏻‍♂️😂

You’ve been decent enough to give a number of articles away. Re-reading the Carla one last week reduced me to a blubbering mess. Thanks btw…😉

The fact that this braying ass is a United States Senator is a daily reminder of what a sad, pathetic dump this country has become.

Another clown in the House? Fine. But Jesus, the people that vote for a moron like this should just be ashamed.

He’s gone SO FAR to protect the institution.

Kind wish he told the fat, bald, fascist to leave building or he’d slap him! 😂

But he’s a gentleman.🙏

Japanese automakers jumped after the tariffs news.

They still have it better than U.S. automakers - who now have much higher input costs - after the “brilliant” tariffs!

So much winning!

If Tim Scott wasn’t the most servile, bootlicking, pathetic attempt at a male human being in Washington, he certainly gave it his all!

Try to ambush Powell with your pet toad “Senator” Scott and get your ass handed to you.
