How low can Trump go ?

Trump's US economy lost 32,000 private-sector jobs in September

Trump was the lesser of 2 evils.

It definitely was a bad month overall...certain sectors were up but most were down...

Anticipated to rise further....

Inherited economy.

@jpot34  "inherited economy"

 Trump inherited the strongest economy for an incoming administration since 2001 according to Economic policy institute.  He was lucky to inherit strong economies from Biden and Obama which ended under his lousy management.

Archived fact!    Thanks, thirdperson!

The job numbers are always very deceiving...here is an article from American Staffing Association:

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics failed to release its September jobs report due to the ongoing government shutdown.

Despite the absence of official numbers, it is clear that labor market growth is stalling. Private sector payroll data from ADP revealed a decrease in jobs by 32,000 in September, and total nonfarm payroll data collected by Revelio Labs showed an increase of just 60,000—driven by gains in education, health care, and government—still, these figures are far from an average of 82,000 jobs recorded in the first half of the year.

July’s Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey data revealed a marked slowdown in both hires and quits, and the latest layoffs report from Challenger, Gray & Christmas showed U.S. employers announced about 54,000 job cuts in September——while the quarterly average of such announcements declined by 60% between the first quarter and third quarter of this year. These data points affirm the low-hire, low-fire paralysis that is dominating the labor market.

Employers are cautious to hire and invest in their workforces while employees are hesitant to leave their current roles for new opportunities.

These statistics underscore the dangers of a K-shaped labor market in which different segments of the market are seeing different rates of recovery—in this instance, a labor market that is working for those who are gainfully employed but broken for those on its sidelines.

Should the federal government decide to pursue mass layoffs during this shutdown, it would needlessly augment labor supply at a time when demand cannot accommodate the current pool of job seekers.

Staffing companies offer a unique value proposition, at a time when companies are hesitant to make long-term personnel decisions, and could see the kind of increase in demand for employees that often precedes a broader recovery in labor demand. As shown by the ASA Staffing Index, demand for staffing services has reached a critical inflection point, which may signal that a recovery is on the horizon.

 EPI blue propaganda.

@fubah2

And that is the second key FACT!

Pew research poll reveals majority of Americans say Trump policies hurt U.S. economy. For example, illegal firing of thousands of federal workers can only worsen government shutdown and increase risk of recession.  Abnormal and illegal to cut spending already approved by congress. Apparently, democrats want to help Americans while republicans try to lie to them.

That ICE assault in Chicago was shocking and disturbing, how does Trump and all his gang forward and allow assault and intimidation to someone asking a question?

I hope that citizens who are being abused by Trump and ICE start filing lawsuits and begin the end of this disgusting daily takeover we see under the guise of removing illegals. The US is turning into an authoritarian ultra conservative disgrace and outside of citizens filing charges I do not know what can stop Trump and his fascist abuses.

@wallstreetcappers

 We see Congress or the SC are not giving a crap what he does and the court is making it much easier, plus when American's get shot by his orders he is immune. So yeh pretty tuff for us that do not support the EVIL REGIME to fight back at this point with those that were elected or appointed to keep each following the law. 

Within 8.5 months, Trump has turned the US from a country that some first-world countries looked up to into a country that the sorts of Mexico and Uganda use as a horror example, saying, "At least we are in better shape than them." I really don't want to see where you'll be in three more years. I guess the saying is true: "Be careful flying too close to the sun because your downfall will be so much greater."

  HEADLINES today . . .

The CONVICTED FELON/Fascist in the WH considers violating the very LAW he signed by NOT giving back pay to all federal workers when shutdown ends

This is because he believes that everything in Our govt is his and belongs to him, so giving anything back to federal workers is like its coming out of his own bank account

The man is a vile piece of crap and all his followers that condone what hes doing are vile also. The revolution cant start fast enough to take back our Country from trump and all his flunkies.

@fubah2  "no back pay for federal workers"

Illegal for president to withhold funding approved by congress, Under US constitution, congress is supposed to have ultimate power over spending.

The Government Employee Fair Treatment Act of 2019 referring to furloughed employees...back pay must be given once the shutdown ends and funding is restored

I have been on this web site 20 years plus and out of the tens of thousands of posts that i have read, this post is the funniest one of all time and deserves to be in the archives.

UNITED STATES HAS BEEN HERE 249 YEARS AND one orange criminal con artist who doesnt belong anywhere near the White House is going to completely dismantle our whole entire govt and turn it into his own personal country where he can do whatever the fuck he wants.  Anybody that enjoys the chaos and destruction is doing to our country, am sorry you are all as sick as he is. What hes already done to our country would take decades to fix again and to all the magas sitting on the sidelines laughing and drinking your beers while trump is sending in troops into cities on citizens, because they are democrat cities and not redneck ones, shame on all of you.

Yup am sure harris would have sent the military into all the red neck maga states to take over the country as her own if she was elected. At some point all the maga morons will face the music and thats a fact.

Anyone that thinks Trump or Harris were good choices for President is delusional. We were handed two bozos to choose from and yes, the lesser of two evils probably won and Trump had already been president so people thought they knew what they were getting. Harris may not have done what Trump is doing, but she certainly was not fit to lead anything. Her presidency would have been abysmal in a different direction. Would have been the same shit show just different topics. 

As I keep saying, both parties are sick. The system is broken and if you are siding with either the left or the right, I ask you, why? No way you can be completely impartial in any president elect if you are not actually reviewing policies and voting accordingly. Even then it's a matter of luck that the elects actually do what they say they are going to do. THEY ALL LIE! These fucksticks in office don't give two shits about the American people. That's not why any of them are in office. It's the most glorified position in the world for one to take. It's historic, but by no means does any politician give two shits about you or I. Stop with the nonsense about parties and whatnot because it's all a figment. You may care about the government and politics, but do you really think it cares about you? C'mon now.....

Apparently, some on the far right think that a 

Racist-phuck!,

RAPIST,

infidel, man-baby,

anti-Democracy insurrection inciter,

obvious FASCIST!,

serial LIAR, fake Christian,

bankrupted 6 times,

CONVICTED CRIMINAL (on 34 felony counts!)

who called our sacred fallen "Losers" and "Suckers" 

.... was a better choice than a pro-democracy  black woman

Exactly  and reason for that is, all this maga morons are as sick, vile, twisted and disgusting as trumpy, they just arent the president. 

Gotta love the magas that say they arent a maga then can actually make a post with a straight face saying trump winning was still a better choice then harris. How twisted is this maga(but am not really a maga, lollll)  Is this person even looking at what trump is doing without tainted vision.

Come on magas please tell us what great things trump has done in 9 months.  I could post a million things he hasnt done, like ending the russia/ukraine war in 24 hours, only a clueless maga moron would vote for trump based off that stupidity and tons did. Trumpy am gonna cut your electric bills in half within 1 year, well your orange God has 4 months to do it and make me happy.  I could go on and on about all the things he promised at his rallies that millions of people took the bait and believed his total bullshit. With all the technology the world is getting people arent becoming smnarter, they are becoming dumber.

Trump is the greatest con artist the world has ever seen and will ever see.

Twisted seems to fit, yep.... to most of them across the nation!  Mind you, not *ALL* MAGAs, but certainly the overwhelming majority......and not all republicans either, though certainly most....

Your right not all, but when those other ones dont stand up and speak up, am sorry they are twisted also. These people know its wrong what this orange clown is doing, but they still look away
