Huh?

I exposed you as either a liar or massively dumb

No, you exposed yourself as a boot licking coward. I posted facts to back up what I said, you ran when your opinion couldn't fight the facts.

NEW YORK TIMES -

Federal layoffs and an end to diversity initiatives have weakened a historically strong labor market for Black workers.

The Biden years masked the job market because of woke initiatives.

1) ok
2) the fact he's won, repeatedly.

Won what? Being used as a lapdog flunky. Give me one bill Scott has pushed that amounted to anything.

3) sure, i've repeatedly shown you've lied.

You've repeatedlyshown you're a coward. Waiting for you to show where this is in error. The Republican goal, we can see that from the racist SC decision and how quickly Southern states moved to gerrymander districts in black dominated areas, like Memphis TN for example. Next year there will be ONE black Republican senator and NO black republican Congressmen. In the mind of a boot licker ONE black GOP Senator shows the party of inclusion.

4) ok, don't know who he is, or keep up with TX politics.

Oh now you don't know who Wesley is. Let me help you out.

Trump has made it crystal clear that America and Americans are NOT at the top of his priority list. Making real estate deals and making the Epstein donor class rich is his only real concern. That's why he repeatedly talks about "the Stock Market." For him ... that's the only measure of a President's success. Nothing else matters.

Ok, that’s fair. So trump inherited Obama unemployment trend and Biden rode the coat tails of Covid.

But let me ask you, Obama lowered unemployment by borrowing money to support industry to hire people, and trump continued decline in unemployment by deregulation and tax cuts. Which version is worse?

What? Trump borrowed money almost twice as fast as Obama.

 

[Political-Junkie]

Um yeah giving someone a job is hiring them

Because Trump did away with DEI

Not in his first term. And actually, not now either beyond the federal government.

Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the Federal Property and

www.whitehouse.gov

Key Aspects of the 2025-2026 Federal DEI Pivot

• Targeting Contractor DEI: The March 26, 2026, Executive Order requires federal contractors to certify they do not engage in discriminatory DEI activities, with strict compliance monitoring.
• Elimination of Agency Programs: Executive orders have directed federal departments to dissolve diversity councils, remove DEI training materials, and put staff associated with these initiatives on administrative leave.
  • Redefining Gender/Sex Policies: New policies define "sex" as a biological binary, moving to remove gender identity considerations from federal workplaces and funding.
  • Focus on Merit-Based Policies: Official rhetoric emphasizes replacing DEI frameworks with merit-based opportunities, claiming that previous DEI practices were wasteful and illegal.
  • Legal Scrutiny: The EEOC and federal courts are increasingly utilized to evaluate whether DEI policies violate Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]

Obama inherited a depression, and he had to spend to stimulate the economy. MAGATS seem to forget that.

Trump's policies did little to decrease black unemployment, and it's time these MGATS stop trying to give him credit for something he did not do.
