POLITICAL THREAD

Until there is negative job growth and/or the unemployment rate goes above the 4 percent range you really have nothing to say.

Not a good start for you.


As mentioned yesterday....current unemployment is 4.3 %.

4.3 >>> 4. You do understand which is greater, right?

https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/empsit.pdf

The unemployment rate rose by 0.2 percentage point to 4.3 percent in July, and the number ofunemployed people increased by 352,000 to 7.2 million. These measures are higher than a year earlier,when the jobless rate was 3.5 percent, and the number of unemployed people was 5.9 million.

The number of people employed part time for economic reasons rose by 346,000 to 4.6 million inJuly. These individuals, who would have preferred full-time employment, were working part timebecause their hours had been reduced or they were unable to find full-time jobs.


Oh.....and they just took away 800K jobs from Biden's incorrect numbers.

Pollster John McLaughlin Says Polls Are Oversampling Democrats to Pump Up Kamala's Numbers | The Gateway Pundit | by Mike LaChance

One of the most confusing aspects of the 2024 election is the polls.

www.thegatewaypundit.com

Imo the only reason any of these public polls exist in their current form is to make the cheat easier to sell. If they really showed 60/40 but dems win anyway, the cheat would be too hard to pull.

How long has it been since the assassination attempt? And still no report.

I mean , how long does it take to white wash something and scrub all of the pertinent (meant to say "incriminating") evidence.

Hoover would have had this wrapped up in 3 days, or he would have started firing b***es by Wednesday.

[OHIO COLONEL]

Sort of. RFK fits in a narrow window. His position on vaccines is popular with most Trump voters and him as CIA director would be fire. He doesn't have to campaign generally but very specifically he can flip some votes and energize the base on certain issues.

And bring to Trump the old fashioned, moderate Dems who don't like the direction of the 'new' Dem/lib party, but are hesitant to pull the lever for a R.

I guess he could have blown up his budget and passed the recession down the road.

Eisenhower was a True Believer in the Treasury View.

 

[DreadLox]

You do realize this was a record and last year was 3rd largest. 2nd largest was when Obama was in office. Coincidence I assume.

As I asked before, if it were a purposeful fraud why would you time it for the middle of an election year?

 

[WTF Cat]

Increase the rate of inflation and that takes care of itself.

Exactly. I don't think must folks understand the REAL effects of inflation: bracket creep, etc.

A back door way for the govt to raise taxes.

 

[Girthang]

She MIGHT still win, but even if she DOES, it will have little or nothing to do with HER. It would be an organizational/system win.

Kamala as the candidate is like having a great team/defense, but Trent Dilfer at QB, and he/she/it only has to concentrate on one thing, "not f***ing it up"

Even that may not be enough. People love to make fun of Trump, and he deserves a lot of it. But, he IS a legitimate threat. In spite of the fact that he hasn't spent his entire life manicuring his persona/learning how to "do politics" he has pushed an entrenched and indescribably corrupt system, using the full weight of their resources against him, to the breaking point for going on almost 12 years now.

My personal opinion is, and always has been, that he's going to win, with about 312 electoral votes. I've seen nothing to make me reconsider that. Kamala has closed the Biden gap (on the back of some, and this only my opinion, questionable polling) but for her to win, that isn't good enough. She has to have a formidable lead by election day, and I don't think she's got the mud to do it. She is such an absolute lightweight that, at the end of the day, I don't think even the Democrat political machine (which is a peerless force of nature) can drag this one over the finish line. If they DO though. If they can get THAT elected, considering their late start, then it means they've got their foot on our throats, and it's game over.

There was a video I tried to link here that was removed from you tube. A woman working at a polling location gave testimony that she saw ballots that were marked for one candidate and were switched to another in real time. The imaging software was in the machine itself as they were scanned. It captured the marks of the voter, separating out the pre-printed image on the ballot (names, boxes, etc), and moved the voter generated marks to the other candidate.

The video was removed from the tube. Cannot find the video on other sources again, when it was on multiple platforms originally. Saw the original linked on Fb and it was gone within the day. Without election security and voters being able to verify/confirm their selections online, the elections aren't going to be legit.

 

[DreadLox]

So you think we added over 10 million but the number is still the same? Ho Lee Chit you are bad at math.

Contacts with the Border Service. As has been pointed out, multiple contacts do not mean multiple persons.

 

[WTF Cat]

I have no idea what actual polling data shows but you can tell the dems ramped up spending in the online troll department. Just look at out and out lies posted on here the last few days.

Im not saying some of these posters are paid trolls, but im definitely not saying they aren't. However the two in particular all pull from the same troll research bank where the machine stores all their canned responses, support, and messages. So its hard to tell if theyre being paid, doing it for free but have the same access, or just part of the hive mind who happen to gladly pass along some of the same troll content.

Bbbbbuuuuutttt JOY!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd lol all day long at them if the election wasn't so important.

OK.. So the people who think Vance is a horrible pick but don't say anything about Walz stealing Valor or shutting down his state... Watch this video and tell me he seems "weird".

I've said why he is weird. Multiple name changes. Multiple sexualities. Multiple religions. Dichotomous opinions on Donald Trump. He seems like the ultimate Hollow Man with more positions that a windsock in a hurricane. He even invented a slur on his family to sell a book: grandma set grandpa on fire. (There's no record of that.)

 

[BigBlueManSouthCentralKY]

Not going to waste time listing more lies at the DNC but fact checkers said that Dick Durbin had two or three lies, mentioned another from O'bama, Sara Rodriguez and Bernie Sanders has said something that is not true. A party of liars, anti Americans and power is their number 1 goal. Once they are in from spewing non-stop lies they will continue their surge of tearing down and reshaping America.

I said 4 percent "RANGE". You even quoted it.
You do understand that 4.3 is around the 4 percent range. Any unemployment rate between 4 and 5 percent is kick AZZ by any historical standard.

They’re fact. Some people are rednecks. Some people are racist. MAGA is their own term, if it’s a slur it’s by their own making. I call it like I see it, if that offends then so be it.

 

[OHIO COLONEL]

Exactly. I don't think must folks understand the REAL effects of inflation: bracket creep, etc.

A back door way for the govt to raise taxes.

What gets me is on these corporate earnings calls, quarterly reports, etc how the media goes on and on of how 'x' company 'beat expectations'....'revenue up by x%....and so forth. Like the company is really increasing their revenue/earnings by doing well, new marketing strategies, etc. When all it is is that inflation is up 5-10-15-20-25%.
Many cases unit sales are down....but 'revenue' is up.

Once Trump takes office (hopefully) they'll start reporting the other way....revenue is up BUT unit sales are down.

Original SNL cast level hilarity!

Not once did anyone talk this psycho down or call him racist for ' pronouncing her name "wrong" ' as the racist and misogynistic man did to a woman recently on air. Once again, as long as it's the party line being repeated ad nauseum, NO ONE will correct ANYTHING.

The economy SUCKS right now. Restaurants are struggling and closing. Retailers are shuttering their brick and mortar stores. Online retailers are seeing greater sales, but the overall sales production is down. The economy is much worse than stagnant, and this govt is hemorrhaging money overseas by giving money to illegals (who then wire much of it home to family) and foreign govts. They aren't spending the money here.

The programmed, leftist trolls/libvidiots here need to wake up. There won't be anything left for them to steal, if they don't.

I wish someone could explain to me where all these jobs 'created' by the administration are since the workforce participation rate is still below pre-COVID levels. Coupled with the >800k downward revision of jobs, seems the 'robust' economy that MSM keeps trumpeting is a mirage. More likely, the 'created' jobs are mostly jobs recovered from the COVID shutdown and its repercussions. According to the statistics, one job is equivalent to every other job. So, a part-time gig making $15k annually is, statistically, equivalent to a nursing job making $80k. A job is a job is a job. But,the record numbers of Americans working more than one job while household credit card debt is at all-time highs (>$1T) also points to an economy that is not nearly as healthy as we're being told.

If the economy was hitting on all cylinders, the last thing the Federal Reserve would do is cut rates, which STIMULATES the economy. Stimulating a healthy economy drives inflation, which would violate one of the main mandates of the Federal Reserve. Obviously, the Fed feels the economy needs a boost of adrenaline, otherwise why consider dropping interest rates?

Just one more example of gaslighting, misdirection, willfully drawing the wrong conclusions from data, etc. that the MSM perpetrates on the American public. Unfortunately, way too many voters (on both sides) decide who they'll vote for based on one issue be it abortion, border, LGBTQ+, et al.

Vance is very composed, he will destroy Walz on the debate stage. One other stark difference is that Vance gladly went onto CNN and would go onto MSNBC, ABC or CBS or NPR or any mainstream news outlet while you would NEVER see Walz or Harris go on Fox. and most of us aren't even big fans of Fox News anymore. Maybe a handful of their shows but by and large not. I will give Jake Tapper credit for letting Vance speak and respond without interruption or snarky comebacks or even trying to challenge him on his responses, so that was good.

I wish someone could explain to me where all these jobs 'created' by the administration are since the workforce participation rate is still below pre-COVID levels.

It must include the paid camlaign attendees, the extra time for the national guard at the DNC, illegal foreign operatives currently on the payroll and waiting for marching orders, and all of the financially supported media outlets that are reporting exactly what the party orders.

Coupled with the >800k downward revision of jobs, seems the 'robust' economy that MSM keeps trumpeting is a mirage.

It IS one giant, poorly operated casino, so the Mirage comparison is fitting.

More likely, the 'created' jobs are mostly jobs recovered from the COVID shutdown and its repercussions.

New IRS hirings and increased govt positions, as well as what you mention below...

According to the statistics, one job is equivalent to every other job. So, a part-time gig making $15k annually is, statistically, equivalent to a nursing job making $80k. A job is a job is a job. But,the record numbers of Americans working more than one job while household credit card debt is at all-time highs (>$1T) also points to an economy that is not nearly as healthy as we're being told.

Shell game, smoke & mirrors, long con... There are only a few industries doing well right now. One is non-food entertainment, but we may see that drop off, too, as football season progresses.

If the economy was hitting on all cylinders, the last thing the Federal Reserve would do is cut rates, which STIMULATES the economy. Stimulating a healthy economy drives inflation, which would violate one of the main mandates of the Federal Reserve.

It's a cancer, really, but it's inoperable.

Unfortunately, way too many voters (on both sides) decide who they'll vote for based on one issue be it abortion, border, LGBTQ+, et al.

I don't see many conservatives voting based on one issue. 1st, 2nd, and 4th amendment as well as the precepts in the preamble are all just as important to them as those dealing with justice and equality (not equity), in addition to protecting life and property from those who would end, abuse, or destroy it.

California is a lead weight, pulling us all under and eventually drowning us.

If Trump wins, he should use an EO to forbid one dime of federal assistance to California as long as programs that assist lawbreakers are in place.

It’s that or just accept the dissolution of the country. There’s no path forward if they enact that.
