Trump fires BLS commissioner for reporting his terrible jobs numbers

Don’t worry. The lack of transparency will be countered by the long soup lines and riots at your local Goodwill.

 

Hilarious. It's weird how there's no bottom when approximately half the electorate and an entire former political party, now criminal organization, decide to totally eschew truth and tolerate criminality.

 

After Steve Bannon called for “a MAGA Republican” to run the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Trump fired its commissioner

 

The mirror and weigh scale are next on the chopping block

 

You misspelled “morons.”

 

You also misspelled “morons.”

 

Great point.

 

Steve Bannon, a bought and paid for tea pot. What all conservatives should aspire for?

The latest jobs data amounts to a "bright red flare that the economy is being hurt by the tariff policy," Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's, told ABC News. "And that's before the tariffs are fully implemented."

Trump's executive order late Thursday laid out rates to be applied against nearly 70 countries, ranging from 10% to 41% in what a Trump administration official hailed as the beginning of a "new system of trade."

 

looking back at past statements from Trump about who he wants doing his books, the nominee will likely be a little Jewish guy wearing a yarmulke.

 

It will be TPS data going forward, assuming that TPS stands for Trump Piece of Shit data.

 

Weak minds are very suggestible.

 

Well they still haven't arrived. Guess they're hoping this thread gets to page 2 asap.

 

Finally a thread that’s free of sycophantic, bend the knee, bullshit.

 

I agree it's not a good look. He should have fired her on day 1. She overcooked 818,000 jobs last year. That was either political or she's not good at her job. My guess is it is both.

818,000 Fewer Jobs Added to the Economy than Previously Reported | The U.S. House Committee on the Budget - House Budget Committee

 

And she 'overcooked' Trump's jobs numbers by 258,000 for May and June. If she'd just kept overcooking, she'd still have a job. Trump actually likes political people who are not good at their job, as long as their politics go in the right direction.

 

Not really. She had been on the job for about 5 weeks when that report came out. Doubtful that she did anything at all regarding that report.

And the annual benchmark review almost always has revisions 100s of thousands, particularly during or after times of economic turmoil. (The previous highest revision came after the 2009 financial crisis numbers.)

So, sorry to disappoint you, but this is just example 26,783 of Trump being a whiny man-baby who needs to find an escape goat to blame his failures on. It's not a good look for you to just blindly parrot whatever lies are circulating in the MAGA-sphere. After all, they're pretty much all complete liars.
