Whats the problem? He’s on the right side about the .0001% of the population being able to participate in sports, so why does this concern you?

JD Vance voted to confirm her by the way!!

This is like reporting your teacher because you didn’t like the score you received on your exam because you didn’t study and thought he/she will just pass you based on the vibes

 

[IIVI]

Jobs are dead and inflation on the verge of growing.

Maybe ~3 days before he blames Biden and Democrats?

Called it, but it took about 3 hours.

I’m sure this is how he graduated at this point


It wasn’t like he was learning shyt.

 

[Canon]

Problem solved

 

[beenz]

OK so going forward, we can no longer trust the job report, cuz clearly he's full of shyt. this dude is COMPLETE

 

[Ozymandeas]

I co-worker at work literally just showed me this to say that Trump's tariffs are working and the economy is doing great. But once I start quizzing his ass about how tariffs truly work and micro/macro economics he started copping pleas that he's not an economist and just wants lower interest rates to buy a new truck....these Trump voter are just dumb man. I'm going to show him these job report numbers and see if he still feels this way

Don't bother. You're literally wasting your breath.

 

[Voice of Reason]

Trump tryna cook the books

 

[Scaaar]

Don't bother. You're literally wasting your breath.

[Baka's Weird Case]

firing the labor statistics commissioner because you dont like the numbers is some banana republic shyt

 

[Ozymandeas]

To be fair, it's not like they could've anticipated social media and how dumb/reactionary/bigoted it makes people.

IMO it's the root cause of a lot of dysfunction in society. At this point I'm convinced the human brain isn't equipped to deal with it I think most people old enough to remember the world pre-social media would agree, it wasn't really like this in the 2000s. There were always stupid/racist people but the Internet just makes it too easy for them to congregate and spread their BS.

 

[Windows 91]

We in a straight up banana republic these days. The corruption is running deep.

 

[mson]

Trump tryna cook the books

It won't be his first time doing that.

firing the labor statistics commissioner because you dont like the numbers is some banana republic shyt

This is one of the most blatant and wildest things he has done in either term. This is some unhinged shyt. Wow.

 

[the bossman]

I will bet my account.. I will take a life time ban if you want. We are getting a rate cut. I believe one of the BIGGEST reasons Trump wanted to gut federal jobs was to force a cut. His economy will NEVER shift the direction he wants without the cuts.

Powell doesn't gaf what Trump wants so long as he's still the chair. Dude got crucified for the high inflation after COVID. He's not making any moves to appease someone for the short term. Trump's idiot tariffs are going to have him holding out on any cuts
