Obviously, if you don't like the statistics, the answer is to fire the statistician! /s

    This was his thing during Covid. He seriously thought the only reason US covid numbers were so high was due to the testing. Stop testing, people stop getting covid.

    It's like a witch made a stupid gollum out of orange mayonnaise.

    In relation to all the other evil shit this seems like small beans. Still, made my gut drop. Bet his handlers tried to gently dissuade this move but he really popped his top.

    Cannot overstate how bad this is. Now we've lost faith in the federal government to do one of it's core duties. And the message is clear, report what Trump wants or get fired.

    This is false as is fails to take account how glorious and great Trump is and how the economy is roaring. The traitor that wrote that headline is gonna be deported into an El Salvadoran prison camp. Thank you for attention to this matter.

    Maybe if he gets jobs to zero it will roll over?

    Surely AI can fill those jobs. You can't get injured on the job if you don't have a body!

    This is obviously due to Democrat fiddling with the numbers. Despite having very little to do with our active government, the evil influence of the Democrats remain! From planting evidence about Epstein, to infiltrating our Department of Labor to fake numbers, just to make Trump look bad.

    Even though the swamp has been thoroughly drained and Mexico has finally finished paying to build the wall, there is still more work to do! We can't rest until America's numbers (which are already great) get even BETTER!

    Anyone complaining about job shortages is obviously a millennial that only knows to to eat avocado toast. Now that the tariffs are in full swing and America's factories are busy cranking out all kinds of goods instead of importing from China, anyone complaining about a tough economy or a job shortage is just a whiner. Get with it people! If you're sick of winning, just wait until we start winning even more!

    This is obviously due to Democrat fiddling with the numbers

    Literally what they're running with. The person ultimately responsible for those numbers was a Biden appointee and Trump didn't like the result so she's been fired under the excuse that those job loss number are "inaccurate". Her replacement will of course make those numbers whatever best suits Trump rather than anything tethered to reality, but that's what MAGA thinks truth is - whatever best polishes Trump's knob.

    Ever since I removed my car's flat tires things move so much faster. Specially other cars! Once flat, tires are just not good for your car. Get rid of them and you'll be a happier person.

    This sounds far too poetic and distant when it needs to be specific and immediate.

    As someone with a career in manufacturing who lived in the rust belt most of my life: I knew I was fucked financially each time Trump won, even without the needing to move to avoid hostile laws. What American manufacturing needs is affordable housing, reasonable trade, subsidies to start, and to accept that thr future of american manufacturing is high tech manufacturing that relies on our high numbers of engineers and our skilled tradespeople. Well paid, unskilled manufacturing jobs aren't coming back, but sensible forward thinking policies can ensure we have plenty of jobs designing, building, operating, and maintaining advanced and modern manufacturing systems.

    Also the fact that our currency is highly valued isnt the best strategy for manufacturing, but it's an excellent strategy for other industries like finance and provides us a powerful ability to purchase foreign goods.

    To shift to manufacturing america needs to move to machine manufacturing and not just goods manufacturing since they are already being done very well in china, american labour cannot compete with china for cheap items the Chinese are just too good. But when it comes to advanced stuff like cars, solar panels, machineries etc that's where USA needs to work on.

    While I appreciate the liberals calling balls and strikes in the Trump administration I am frustrated at this point that that is all that is being done.

    Like, there is a point at which pointing to a broken judicial, electoral, and economic system and saying "hey! They are fucking this up" is just a shield to that administration to make people feel like something is being done to resist it. And they are not.

    It's like, if I was a investigator and I kept pointing to the stabbing victim and saying "I know exactly who is at fault!" But I never actually opened a case and those guilty never saw their day in court. All I did was give people a false sense that justice would be served when they saw the victim. So, those that heard me shout "I know who is at fault" are left with the false satisfaction of justice (or at the very least resistance) and never look much beyond that and continue with their life wondering why there are so many people on the street getting stabbed still.

    That's what it feels like when I listen to the Democratic party and it's leadership. It feels like they are the party of "acknowledging bad things" and nothing more.

    Like, you can call balls and strikes. But if you're going to tell us for years that "Trump is a threat to democracy" and have zero plan or effort to throw him out of the game when he charges the pichters mound. Then you're not an "umpire" for democracy. You're just an announcer in a game without an ump.

    Edit: sorry, double analogy in my scattered brain.
