    You have to say though, the number fudging totally worked, just look and Biden's overall popularity and approval on the economy

    To be fair, this works well with the Trump's overall strategy; this will greatly assist in convincing his minions that all the upcoming bad economic numbers are fake. Look for them to soon begin parroting precisely that.

    So, TACOman wants another minion to report good numbers to him? Surely sounds like he has a serious cognitive problem!!

    The silence here speaks volumes. I'm sure there's panic in MAGA media land to come up with talking points to disseminate.

    The new “stay on topic” rule has them muzzled. Usually they’d be in here deflecting by now lol.

    They're arresting Bill Clinton for treason over these economic numbers.




    Kash Patel and Dan Bongina told us it's true.

    Oh boy, the guy who just said multiple obvious factual errors in his post is going to select a candidate to give him numbers that he might prefer. It should be noted that she shifted methodology that led to the big decline in employment figures for years without opposition from the Biden folks, despite the story that it caused and the fact that it would be used in bad faith.

    RIP believable employment numbers.

    Fear not, doom-mongers!

    "White House Council of Economic Advisers Chair Stephen Miran said Friday that the jobs report “isn’t ideal,” but “it’s all going to get much, much better from here.”
    “We’re creating trade deals left and right that have unlocked enormous new potential for the American economy. The tariff uncertainty is fading away. Tariff rates are settling in,” Miran said. “On top of that, there are such strong, powerful incentives in the one big, beautiful bill for investment.”

    Oh, I suspect that he and his people had a big problem with it. But they didn't interfere because this stuff is actually pretty important and the career people made a good methodological argument for why the new methods were more accurate.
