Maybe a simple quiz to recognize spam or fake accounts should be required before setting up accounts or renewing them once a year.  I'm just tired of the liars taking advantage of the stupid.

This might be doable, with some sort of software 

Time to download the app again

I agree that until they met the numbers ore COVID they didn't really deserve credit. Now they do.

 

If the US population grows the government also must grow, would it not? 

Fair enough. So from here out I will try to keep an open mind and pay attention to full time, actual creation of new jobs.

Actually, natural population growth has virtually flatlined. And, at the current rate of adding $1 trillion in debt every quarter, I will disagree. Stop the spending. 

Can Rs trade this guy for MGT, Boebert and a future draft pick?

We regained what was lost from COVID sometime in 2022 or 2023 if I remember correctly, so not sure what you're talking about. Also, I was one of the most vocal in saying that until that point it wasn't truly job creation. I was constantly criticizing a poster here who kept posting those "creation" tweets.

 

There's nothing wrong with government jobs, and they should actually be a sign of a healthy economy as well. Seasonal jobs are typically adjusted for in the numbers that are reported.

 

You realize this happens under every administration, right? The jobs report from the previous quarter is almost always adjust in the next quarter. Don't really remember you criticizing much when Trump himself was tweet even fuzzier math... But all that began the question, what's the point of that specific tweet you decided to post? 

So, if you were aware that jobs created are not the same as jobs recovered, up to 2023 sometime, then you agree that this administration has not created 13-15 million jobs. See we agree.

I believe we need to shrink the Fed government, not grow it. So here we disagree.

I do realize this likely happens under every Administration, which proves my point there are currently no good choices. If it was from Trump, and is was fuzzy math, I would have called it out because I am anti Trump, but don't recall specifically, so we'll call that a draw.

I mean, clearly employment is way up.  I suppose if you want to argue over the word "created" or "recovered" you can but all that really matters is that people have jobs. 

Yep...2 or 3 of them...

You just posted a rebuttal to Biden's job report from a guy from The Heritage Foundation, and you're arguing the point right now.

 

The Heritage Foundation is the foundation of Project 2025, Orange Man Bad's fascist agenda.

 

 

I don't agree with the idea of P2025. The Heritage Foundation has been around since long before Trump. The post provided visual evidence the announcement was wrong.

Did you have anything proving the post wrong, or do you just not like the source.

The person you're trying to reason with admitted to trolling P&R for laughs. 

 

The tweet they're basing this conversation on came from someone from The Heritage Foundation. 

Care to show when or where I "admitted" trolling for laughs?

Are the numbers wrong? Or you just don't like the source?

What do they have to retract regarding the latest jobs report?

First and foremost is the repeated lie that there have been 13 million jobs created. It's would be realistic if they used the term recovered. Check out March 1st 2020 employment numbers compared to March 1st 2024. They are virtually identical.

Every single jobs report for over a year has been revised downwards...by ad many as 100k in June of 2023.

The March press release touts 303k. But forget to note that full time jobs were actually down 6000. 71k were gubmint jobs, and 49k were seasonal construction jobs returning after winter.

But you will never see Biden's team alluding to the truth.

And yet here you are!

If I make a mistake I say so. If Biden's handlers make a mistake, or are wilfully disingenuous, they double down, and it gets repeated by the masses. 

I have never seen a retraction or admission from the WH staff when this jobs nonsense proves false. Have you?

And how do you feel about this?

I think that trumpeting stats that are prone to lose accuracy with any sort of scrutiny doesn't help.

Really?  No good choice?  A continuation of democracy over authoritarianism isn't a good choice?  That's exactly what this election comes down to.  

Thank you for repeating what literally fills my timeline every day. 

I won't vote for Trump, so I don't need more reminders, but thanks again.

This isn’t in response to @DevoHusker but just wanted to point out that some folks are going to “virtue signal” with a write in vote (hopefully I used that term correctly.

 

As it stands today, The next POTUS will either be Biden, Trump, or RFKJ.  

Thanks for not singling me out. I had been looking at Kennedy, but will likely not vote, if nothing changes.

Agree.  Opinions are good.  Do you care to explain why you think he’s a bad choice?   Or who would be a better choice.   Other than the age thing, which is dumb, I’ve not seen logical people give very good answers to this question.  

I think my opinion is good enough, but thanks. There is no better choice, which is what I was lamenting originally.

Biden is a good choice.  

That is your opinion, which is fine.

I disagree, which is also fine.

So, I was with two guys last night that are very Republican. I thought for sure they would never vote for Trump again. 
 

Nope. They both ranted about how horrible Biden is and how they would vote for Trump over him….Biden isn’t going to live 4 more years….he can’t find his way off the stage….Kamala is horrible….bla bla bla….

 

Meanwhile. 
 

 

As I have been saying...

There is NO good choice.

Winner winner chicken dinner 

This kid is having a blast!
