Damn, how many people does Trump have to fire before they learn to stop reporting these inconvenient facts?

2 million Americans are collecting unemployment in highest figures since pandemic
(www.independent.co.uk)
In any other universe that would be a joke, but in this reality, it's entirely possible that he will replace people who post the truth about his shit-show.
He is literally already doing that. After last month's jobs report, he fired the head of the Bureau for Labor Statistics.
Yup, but I can see this happening as a regular reaction to unfavourable facts. Mind you, he was doing this back during the pandemic, so this is just following the trend.
Trumpcession
Thanks dumbfuck conservatives. Maybe you could stop supporting pedophiles long enough to pick better candidates.
They're too busy doing their favorite pastime of being dumb racist ass racists.
And pedophiles.
This doesn’t include people who were ineligible for or have already run through their unemployment benefits, either.
I asked the person at the department of labor what the state expects to happen if my unemployment runs out and i, despite my best efforts, still don't have a job. She just laughed nervously.
Our society is a disgrace
Its such a wild part that there is an even greater number that has fallen off and even people who are on disability as a way to simplify state budgets because of how many people are truly unemployed or underemployed now in the US.
Trumps economy! It’s as worthless as we all imagined
I am tired of winning.
I get this. Its like we are in a shitshow. Its hard to keep talking about shit because of sick of all the shit.
Who released those numbers!? They are probably going to be fired.
Release the Trump-Epstein files!
I can't wait until his ICE raids lead to widespread famine and we call joke about eating our Trump Steaks.
I'm reminded of the phrase "Hoovervilles" which was used to describe the make-shift towns built during the presidency of Herbert Hoover at the start of the Great Depression. Apparently there were multiple terms named for Hoover in that vein:
Democrats coined other similar terms that were jabs at Herbert Hoover: "Hoover blankets" were old newspapers used as blanketing, a "Hoover flag" was an empty pocket turned inside out, "Hoover leather" was cardboard used to line a shoe when the sole wore through, and a "Hoover wagon" was an automobile with horses hitched to it (often with the engine removed).
Get ready to coin a new wave of disparaging terms for the things that Trump forces us to use to survive.
Exactly what I was thinking of
my trump limo (rickshaw) is almost ready to go!
are those dog or cat?
I normally heard about cats being called Roof Rabbit. I figured it would be groundhog, opossum, or skunk.
Trump’s America!
However, LET’S SEE THE EPSTEIN FILES!
Something tells me we're going to see way more Super Smash Bros characters in the next few months/years. The Blackstone CEO's assassination is pretty much the same as United Healthcare's assassination, but the Media learned not to call it what it is so they said it was a mistaken identity but the target was the NFL??? It makes no sense.
Also the VA councilman that got burned alive was involved in Blackstone real estate decisions, so it seems these two recent assassination attempts were very much related. It's like how a cancer starts to kill an organism but it triggers the body's natural white blood cells to re-balance things.
As Trump causes more and more fundamental issues, the "bread and circuses" will start to go away, and what comes after is... more white blood cells.
Reading some of the reports, the guy had CTE and had used the wrong bank of elevators.
The Blackstone CEO’s assassination is pretty much the same as United Healthcare’s assassination
The two are nothing alike
-
Shane Tamura wasn't targetting a specific person. That's why it's a mass shooting, and not a mass assassination
-
He had a note on him explicitly blamine the NFL for his CTE, on account of them downplaying the risks of Football
-
The Blackstone CEO wasn't even an intended target. He went up the wrong elevator, looking for the NFL HQ
They didn’t target Blackstone.
Anyone cheering it on like it was a situation similar to Luigi is misguided IMO. You gotta be principled imo.
I agree here. Im looking at peoples responses and its like dudes. He did not shoot a woman coming out of the elevator but he did shoot one at his destination. Sounds like he was not shooting random females. Seems to me the crux of the narrative is a note they "found" on him.
Go work at ice
I wonder if that will become mandatory. Apparently ice is struggling to find people to join.
Because MAGAts are cowards. They want somebody else to do the bad things they voted for.
I’m interpreting this as there aren’t enough magats that support the cause.
Honestly, people should
Get a job there, refuse immoral/illegal orders. Sure, you'll be fired pretty quick, but you at least get some pay and it gums up the works
Gotta get that nut.
Is America great again, yet?
No. Not until they get rid of all the brown people. Sigh.
But then it’ll be awesome, and I’ll be proven wrong and I’ll finally become one of the MAGA faithful. Also, I plan to have a lobotomy to help me get there.
Muh Biden's fault!!!! LMAO
I think the problem is that for so far the economy has just kept chugging along and the wealthy havent felt any different and the poors havent found any way to unteract with or make their issues felt by those that again are just doing fine.
I dont know how long that continues to last for but woth the world as it is today im not betting on tomorrow.
USA! USA!
