To me, it sounded a bit like Fox is thinking about turning on him.  This was put out there to test their viewership's responses. 

Sinclair is flanking them to the right, so they're probably trying to find their new sweet spot.

It would be funny if the press corp decided to just stop going to the briefings. What's the point anymore.

I've long maintained that no one...not a single news entity...should carry these fucking things live.  They should be tape delayed and fact checked, and all the bullshit should pop up on the screen like Pop Up Video.

I don't for a minute think they'd quit lying, but the presentation would at least be entertaining.

The underlying report would have been destroyed by Republicans under Obama. Increasing # of people leaving workforce and minimal wage growth.

Also, even though I realize that we aren't supposed to see gains on the tax cut for a while, we are spending a lot to get jobs created. We can't be at 164,000 a month if we are spending trillions for it.

Having said that, I liked the slow and steady pace under Obama and I like it now. I just rather not have the deficits to accompany that pace.

[Mojo Hand 4580]

He's trying to thread the needle on the Stormy thing, but it just doesn't make sense.  He admits that he knew of the allegations and that Cohen was handling it for him.  He admits that Cohen paid her and that he reimbursed Cohen.  He admits there was a binding settlement agreement in which Stormy agreed not to talk.  But he's gone all in on claiming that he didn't know Cohen paid her or that he repaid Cohen.  Well, if that's true, what did he think the terms of the settlement agreement were?  What did he think Stormy got for her silence?

Actually the tax cut to the average family was never there. Their entire argument is that the tax cuts to corporations and wealthy would led to higher wages in the future, which we can't currently disprove unless you look at every economic report ever from the past. It will go to stock buybacks for at least the short term.

If I were the average family, I would be calculating take home pay and future tax burden to make sure they aren't fucked next year.

I know this is obviously nothing new, but reading his statements before boarding AF1 this morning has my blood boiling.  His complete disregard for facts, or even just the superficial appearance of being truthful is insulting to his office and this country.  He thrives in creating chaos and spreading disinformation, and we are all suffering for it.  When he finally dies, whether that is next month, next year, or a decade from now, it will be one of this country's finest days.  Fuck him, fuck his family, and fuck all of you fuckers who still support this piece of shit.

Happy Friday.

indeed.  most of my life i've hoped for a situation that would expose the gop for its true objectives.  one outcome we are already seeing in this debacle is a lot of people waking up.  some are beyond hope, and we must move on and isolate them to whatever extent we can.  rebuild with the people whose eyes can see and ears can hear.

[Dr. Teeth 5737]

He also has help in it. We are going to hear 3.9% all weekend long from every news org. He spreads it the way the news can easily disseminate it and how people consume it. He wins not because he is piece of shit but because we eat the shit sandwich that the cook makes for us.

Quote

resident Trump has ordered the Pentagon to prepare options for drawing down American troops in South Korea, just weeks before he holds a landmark meeting with North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong-un, according to several people briefed on the deliberations.

Reduced troop levels are not intended to be a bargaining chip in Mr. Trump’s talks with Mr. Kim about his weapons program, these officials said. But they acknowledged that a peace treaty between the two Koreas could diminish the need for the 28,500 soldiers currently stationed on the peninsula.

Well, that and the fact that a prissy pantywaist like Ted has clearly never spent much time around firearms until he decided to suck up to the gun nuts.  Real man of the people, that Ted Cruz.

There is a 99.5% chance that Ted Cruz was picked last for every sport in P.E. when he was in elementary school.

[kevwun 15189]

On the last episode of Vice, they interviewed Grant Stinchfield who is on NRA TV.  He proudly showed off his gun safe and gun "collection" which consisted of one AR and one Glock in the safe and another pistol that he carried around on his hip.  I don't understand how people are blind to fake assholes like that.  The only reason he gives a shit about owning guns is because the NRA pays him to.  I owned more guns than he does before I started High School.  He was also so disingenuous while answering questions that I wanted to puke.  He wouldn't accept it as a fact that there are more mass shootings now than 20 years ago because he wasn't around back then to know for sure.

Another weak jobs report. The White House will focus on the unemployment rate that fell to 3.9% because of people leaving the workforce.

Which is exactly what the GOP used to say when a low unemployment number came out under Obama. Now it's because of what Trump is doing. I believe that's the definition of hypocrisy.  And yes the Dems are just as bad.

I haven't seen any Dems deny that the numbers are what they are. Wouldn't they have to do that in order to be "just as bad?"
