    Naturally, trump's REICH officials excoriated the BLS after Tuesday’s large estimated revision, claiming that it was a symptom of bigger problems at the agency.

    MAGA loyalist economic advisers have been conducting a PARTISAN review and assessment of BLS data quality and operations in preparation for a PARTISAN report that is expected to be sharply critical of the agency, according to three people familiar with the matter. The report has not yet been completed.


    an_ref  This is akin to when a home team doesn't like the score (losing!) they decide to attack and defame the scoreboard operator....then issue flyers, paid ads and media news bulletins condemning the scoreboard operator as a conspirator that must be fired and replaced.

           Tariff-exposed industries
                    are  losing  jobs!


    New York, CNN —

    [the convicted felon/SEX-OFFENDER] has promised his high tariffs will inspire an American manufacturing renaissance.

     

    Yet so far [trump's] controversial experiment has failed to inspire a jobs boom!

     

    an_ref Not only is hiring weak, but the industries most exposed to tariffs have been shedding workers – exactly the opposite of the intended outcome! surprised

     

    Job growth in tariff-impacted sectors including manufacturing, construction and transportation turned negative shortly after Trump started his trade war this spring, according to a new analysis by Apollo Global chief economist Torsten Slok.

    There are enough people who are apologists and blind followers of Trump and the GOP/TNC that the blaringly obvious truth means nothing, this BLS stuff is kiddie garbage but if someone in a political party frames a narrative then those who are blind followers will not even investigate the truth or lack of truth to the narrative. Nothing proves the point more (there are many examples like this too) than this birthday card knee slapper, yeah Trump someone eons ago when you were a tv dummy decided that they would frame you to use against you in your future political ambitions and yeah Trump those two people who look like YOU and your WIFE standing next to  Jeff and Max are NOT you, they are photo shopped to frame you.

    People are conditioned to deflect and ignore fact and truth to save their own personal political positions, what a sad state of society that such a disgusting abrasive liar is directing this country in such a destructive manner.

    So we arrest over 400 South Koreans working in a Georgia Hyundai plant. Then South Korea suspends 22 industrial projects in the US financed by them including at GM, Ford & Samsung. Everybody loses.

    I found a succinct description of what resulted by the above ICE actions. 

    Team Trump's recent ICE raid in Georgia wasn't just ham-fisted; it was an act of economic self-sabotage. ?The target was the massive Hyundai Metaplant, a $14.6 billion foreign investment poised to create over 15,000 jobs in Georgia. This project is so significant that it includes a network of 17 additional supplier factories and major state-funded infrastructure upgrades. ?With one bumbling move, the administration halted construction and sent a clear signal to the world: investing in America is a risky bet. Global companies will now think twice before bringing their capital and jobs to the US, fearing their projects could be the next victims of political games. ?This isn't just poor economic management; it's actively undermining American growth.

    Thoughtless actions have consequences.

     Oops-a-daisy I guess one of the ICE boys didnt comprehensively research their target and went off a tip that some non-white workers were stealing US jobs so lets swoop in and deport them.

    How embarrassing on so many fronts, this is bad but all of this skin color hunting is awful. John Oliver had a piece last weekend of Vance on a podcast a few years back suggesting that the GOP go after universities for discrimination against white students via grant threats and here we are the skin color project 2025 fascist attack on America is in full swing and with the SCOTUS being politically biased there isnt a ton that can be done about destroying the country by racial divide.

    True.  Rooted in racism of course since we NEVER see ICE/trump's Gestapo arresting/targeting  the many, MANY *WHITES* who are in this country illegally. 

    Nope!

    ....only people of color....

    Difficult to get US visa.  Legal immigration system needs to be fixed.  US doesn't have enough of the skilled workers that foreign companies need.  Especially those jobs that require years of experience.

    Past administrations wisely avoided workplace immigration raids due to their controversy and economic risks.  Mass deportation has unintended consequences.  Lower economic growth, employment, tax revenue, household income and higher inflation.

         trump's America

     

    Almost one million FEWER Americans were actually employed for the year ended in March than previously reported as part of the BLS agency’s annual revisions. surprised

     

     

    This is damning.

    So, given trump's ego-driven historical responses to negative news, what are the odds that in the coming weeks a shocking  "NEW REVIEW" of the BLS report will magically appear and surprisingly reverse those negative numbers and instead report wonderful, blissful, exciting "strong performance" numbers?!   

    Perhaps similar to trump's infamous "sharpie-gate" scandal? reallyhappy

    @StumpTownStu

     Read up on the details of the situation and not from a conservative angle, the reasoning for having those workers there is pretty clear and understandable. They were in the process of opening a plant and those individuals were being used for technical experience specific to the design and creation of the actual building and business. They were not going to be doing the work of the plant once it was open, they were there to follow the blueprint required to establish operations.

    The visa question is quite simple, your answer is not complicated. These workers were not drug smugglers or criminals, they are not the target for the TNC deporation department, this shows how a concept which MIGHT have limited value turns into a circus ridiculous mess at a very high cost and at a very high risk of offending a valued trade partner and an alleged ally. We want foreign investment and manufacturing here but when you have reckless stupid crap like this what kind of signal is this giving to corps and foreign investment considering locating here?

    CNN -
    Trump’s attempts to create peace with Putin appear to be going predictably poorly.

    Since their meeting in Alaska last month, Putin has shown little interest in the direct peace talks with Ukraine that Trump tried to secure.

    Russia has attacked an American-owned business in Ukraine.

    It has continued bombing civilians.


    surprisedAnd most recently, it sent drones into Poland’s [NATO] airspace in an apparently unprecedented event that has NATO spooked about a much-wider war. [Polish and Dutch jets scrambled to shoot them down]


    an_blowhorn Trump has done little to act, repeatedly blowing past the “two-week” deadlines he’s given the Russian leader to make peace.

    I like how there can be any defense for those here illegally just because they are not criminals or drug smugglers....so, because they are highly advanced individuals that gives them a free pass to be here illegally...that just sounds weird...the message I see, which should have always been, be in the country legally or be caught and have consequences...that's a clear cut message that many forget because the norm has been to get away with it for so many years...shouldn't have a problem with people being held accountable for actions that could have been avoided...imagine what would happen if that were one of us caught in their country illegally...would we not be deported and possibly banned from re-entering? Being a foreigner in any land is not an excuse to break any local, State or Federal laws. If there was some reciprocation that an American could go to their land illegally and work and help build factories then I could see the point, however that couldn't be further from the case. If it's fair to be deported and/or banned to enter South Korea, why should it be any different here?

    A bevy of data this month showed the labor market is on shakier ground than previously thought. an_getaway
    That spurred a rally in bonds as investors sought safe havens.
    As bonds rallied, it pushed yields lower: The two-year Treasury yield this month hit its lowest level since 2022

    The decline in Treasury yields shows markets are adjusting to the reality of a weaker-than-expected job market and expectations for potentially subdued economic growth.

    Der MAGA Führer - ein Arschloch

     


    WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has added a Presidential Walk of Fame to the exterior of the White House, featuring portraits of each of the previous commanders-in-chief — except for one.

    Instead of a headshot of Joe Biden, the  [racist/convicted felon] instead hung a photo of an autopen signing the Democrat’s name.

    an_ref  The snub amounts to the latest attempt by Trump to delegitimize a predecessor he routinely belittles, including in front of more than 100 world leaders on Tuesday at the United Nations General Assembly gathering.

    The fascist in the Oval - [who called our fallen troops "losers" and "suckers"] -refuses to acknowledge his defeat to Biden in the 2020 election, instead falsely chalking it up to unsubstantiated voter fraud.

     

    Trump's White House staff sent out a burst of social media posts Wednesday afternoon gleefully promoting the finished project.
