One more step, in the guidelines to becoming a dictator, that Trump took today!

Oh Bull crap!

The whole reason they are so OFF initially is because they do NOT have the staff anymore to give you more accurate preliminary numbers early.

Elon Musk and DOGE fired a third of the staff.

This very low 75000 jobs created for July that Trump is having a tizzy fit over, is likely only 15000 job created, and much much worse than the bad 75000 preliminary number once they have the time to do the accurate counting.

The final numbers are accurate and have a paper trail....they can be checked and are double checked.

Just screaming like Trump that the numbers are fake or a hoax when dozens of staff have checked and double checked before they even give them to the Head Lady that Trump fired on his created lie.

Wake up!

Wake up Sleepy -- dreaming again.

This has been going on for years and manipulation is almost standard practise in most places .
Your views or how bureaucracies actualy operate is naive .
The Chain of command is exactly the opposite of your imaginings .

The Top Dog sets the desired end figures and bottom line conclusions and then the team work to get figures to match the targets as closely as possible .

Wake up!

Meister is old and failing, like his silent pal, but fun to read some of the time.

But you are never even fun Horsey .

The old man who has got on the wrong end of every major issue ever since I joined this chat site .

Remember when you believed every word about the Covid bio- weapon and then thought the Killer Shots were good!
What a disaster .
Let alone your drivel about Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine . Sheer ignorance .

Then Ukraine, with Russia having now basically destroyed the UAF and well as being on the way to finishing off the NATO and mercenary proxy forces .

Horsey -- the weather vane for forecasting the Wrong and Untruthful.
What an Obituary awaits you

This is what MAGAs truly want:

 

[22lcidw]

The Emmy's were rigged

The Iowa caucus was rigged

The 2020 election was rigged!

The jobs numbers are rigged!

Everyone is out to get me!

What a loser.

And somehow, we ended up with men in dresses reading to 6-year-olds in public schools and tampons in male restrooms in the same as just one crumb of craziness. Progs need to wake up from woke. You handed the working class to Trump.

 

[JoeB131]

How do you know she wasnt a political appointee and lib political activist?

Well, because she doesn't make the decision by herself.

The BLS is hundreds of people crunching data, and the method they use is non-partisan.

The thing is, we should have expected an adjustment. Elon fired hundreds of thousands of people fromt their jobs, companies are having to cut staff because of tariffs adding extra expense to their budgets.

You voted for this, you got this, and now you are complaining that you've gotten it.

 

[j-mac]

And replacing it with a hollow shell st added by flunkies and yes men.

Forget about a professional civil service.

Competent people are not Trump’s thing.

He loves clowns.

And a clown that tosses out red meat on Fox is your idea of competence too.

Of course, you will lie, deny and deflect when the buzzards come home to roost.

Trump is running circles on your dumbass, and there is NOTHING you can do about it…

 

[Blaster]

This statement would be hilarious if it weren't so pathetic.

Prove me wrong dumbo.

Kevin O'Leary disagrees with trumpy on this on. You don't shoot the messenger. But I guess trumpy is better at math than a statistician.

Not to derail your thread but trumpy also said Caroline Leavitt had a nice face and lips. mmmmm

She is a biden political apointee

Thats all the authority trump needs to replace her

 

[TimFitz]

In the beginning Trump said we need to isolate the vulnerable and let the healthy people go along with their lives. You loons crapped your diapers over it. Then he went with fuaci's plan, worst mistake he did.

There was no plan.

What Trump said is irrelevant, since it changed from hour to hour.

plans require leaders, and Trump was busy clowning, diverting and campaigning as the crisis festered.

He may have the authority. But he also has the stupidity.

He and his reactionary base hated Fauci for telling them what they didn’t want to hear.

And the resultant leadership failure was one of the worst in US history.

He fired the messenger when his employment number weren’t what he wanted to hear.

What will he do when the numbers continue to show warning flags?

You can only go through so many scapegoats before people know where the real problem lies.

Trump did not like the weak employment numbers.

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/08/01/trump-erika-mcentarfer-jobs-report-fired.html

In another age this would cause an outrage.

Trump accused BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer of being a political appointee who was manipulating jobs data.

Anything Trump does not like is rigged or fixed.

It is a lie.

If she can't present an accurate count without having to revise it later, she needs to be fired.

Incompetence will generally get you fired, no matter what job you're doing.

 

[JoeB131]

Except Trump felt no need to replace her when he was getting news he liked (i.e. his dumb policies weren't affecting the job market yet.)

BLS has to be neutral and trustworthy. Companies and banks plan based on the accuracy of the data.

If we start on this third-world shit of firing people because they give Cheeto Hitler news he doesn't like, nothing good follows.

Uh, guy, get real. Employment figures are adjusted all the time. It's not a matter of "accurate data", it's a matter of fine-tuning the data as more becomes available.

The numbers were calculated down because of the effects of deportations, mass firings, and tariffs.

That's on Trump.

Everyone told him this would happen, he did it anyway.

 

[Luckyone]

I don't think Biden fired the BLS commissioner while in office, but his administration did make significant revisions to job numbers during several months.

While I agree that the distortion of info is a typical characteristic of dictatorships, a comparable behavior under Biden was the push for a "disinformation tsar." Disinformation, as defined by the previous administration, was rather broad and tended to be politically convenient for the Dems back during COVID.

To be fair, our government has a long history of propagandizing. Even the food pyramid turned out to be a lie.

You do know that most economists have been predicting for months that there would be lower job growth because of tariffs, don't you?

AI Overview

Yes, economists have been predicting a slowdown in job creation and potential job losses due to the tariffs for several months
. The July 2025 jobs report showed weaker-than-expected job growth, lending support to these predictions.
Here's why economists are concerned:

• Tariffs can raise costs for businesses: Tariffs are essentially taxes on imported goods. When businesses rely on imported materials or components, these tariffs increase their production costs. This can lead to reduced profits and make companies hesitant to expand or hire new employees. The manufacturing sector, in particular, which is supposed to benefit from tariffs, has seen job losses.
• Uncertainty harms business decisions: The on-again, off-again nature of tariffs creates an uncertain business environment. Companies may delay investments and hiring decisions when facing unpredictable costs and trade policies.
• Impact on consumer spending: Tariffs can lead to higher prices for consumers on imported goods, impacting their spending power and potentially slowing down the overall economy.
• Weakening labor market: The recent jobs report indicated a notable deterioration in U.S. labor market conditions, with job gains averaging just 35,000 per month over the past three months (May, June, and July 2025), a significant decrease from the previous year's average of nearly 123,000 per month.

While some proponents argue that tariffs can incentivize domestic manufacturing and potentially create jobs in specific industries, the overall consensus among economists suggests that the current tariff regime is likely to have a negative impact on job creation and the broader economy, according to CNBC.

and here is proof that it is happening!

US employers slash hiring as Trump advances a punishing trade agenda​

Fauci is a and example for you since he was a lair and maybe a communist chinese asset

He was wrong about everything

My guess we will find that the biden flunky cooking the numbers

Then Trump handed Biden the vaccine and he killed more people on his watch. If we did what Trump wanted in the beginning, it wouldn't of been as bad. But for some stupid reason, he took fauci's advice.
