    In the wake of https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2025/08/01/jobs-report-july-2025-data/85467514007/a brutal report showing U.S. job growth slowing and unemployment rising, President https://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/donald-trump/Donald Trump did what any sensible leader would do: He fired the person responsible for the report.

    I applaud https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/08/01/trump-fires-labor-head-weak-july-jobs-report/85479354007/?tbref=hpTrump’s decision, part of his ongoing war with numbers he doesn’t like. For far too long, Americans have allowed “low” or “bad” numbers – from grades to bank accounts to performance reviews – to dictate how they feel about themselves.

     

    Our bold president is changing that outdated form of thinking, instilling in all of us the belief that we can believe whatever we want to believe, ignoring dumb liberal concepts like “facts,” “numbers” and “reality.”

    The https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2025/08/01/jobs-report-july-2025-data/85467514007/Aug. 1 jobs report (allegedly) showed that employers added only 73,000 jobs in July. Also, as USA TODAY reported: “Job gains for May and June were revised down by a whopping 258,000, portraying a much weaker labor market than believed in late spring and early summer.”

    Job reports are best estimates. When more data is available, reports are often revised to make them more acurate. No evidence supports Trump claim that job reports are rigged to make him look bad. Reasonable to expect weak job report because almost 149,000 federal emp!oyees left and high tariffs hurt consumer confidence.

    REPORTER: Why did you fire the head of the bureau of labor statistics?

    ALPHA MOLESTER:  Because I thought her numbers were wrong.

    Sure, let the guy who told the secretary of state of Georgia "I just want to find 11,780 votes" make decisions about whose numbers are wrong.

    Anyone catch the trumpster on Bravo channel most recent Below Deck? She was a wonderful example of new era people from america letting everyone know she voted for trump, first thing she did was call the crew who maybe 2 from America, Democrats. She was drunk and the Captain who is in charge, but not to this wonderful example of a maga voter on display for the world to see, can not wait until next week to see if the French Police arrest her. They are on a yacht so this is not the usual UTUBE trump voter, in fact while the Captain was locking her in her cabin she was telling him she was on the phone with the FBI.They are in Sint Maarten so the Captain informed her he did not care who she was talking to he is in charge.

    Guess the title of Ugly American will live on in maga. an_roll_laugh

    This is akin to taking a giant dump, then firing the janitor because you don’t like how the bathroom smells. 
    Only difference is that in this case, the giant dump has better reasoning skills than Dementia J Trump, who can barely string a few sentences together

    This is akin to taking a giant dump, then firing the janitor because you don’t like how the bathroom smells.

    In authoritarian countries, presidents punish government officials who don't toll the party line.  But politicizing government data could undermine public trust.  Wrong to fire labor statistics commissioner for revealing the truth.  Former commissioner William Beach says there is no way for a commissioner to rig the jobs numbers.  These numbers are compiled by teams of hundreds of people.  Common for numbers to be revised to reflect new data and improve accuracy.  In Trump first term, there was a 500,000 jobs correction.

    Like to see how the magas defend this firing by Trump. They really can't, unless they can just admit, that yes he is a wanna be authoritarian dictator, but I like his stance on immigration. abortion etc.  We have a crazy fuck running the country, and waaaaaaaay to many people letting him do it. I can't fucking stand it

    They can’t defend it, so they wont

    They are hoping you won’t bring this up during the midterms. I would use the word “praying” but we all know these people aren’t actually Christians, as that would require “empathy” and “common sense” and “statistics”

     

    Remember, these dotards honestly believe they know more than you, yet when presented with basic math they have to cook the books.

    Christianity is the reason for so many wars through time it isn’t even funny - that book is not built on empathy - it is a 2000 year old book preaching how we should live, who we should hate and how we should be divided - like most other religious texts I might add - don’t get why you guys see it as something good that politicians are religious - for me it would be the biggest red flag ever 

    Don't mention the frogs - we don't want to scare the toddler - we want him to sleep

    Just a friendly reminder that the federal government hasn’t posted any economic data since September in an effort to help cover up King Trump’s decision to take a wrecking ball to the American economy. Putin must be so proud!

    In jobs growth, Biden economy outperformed Trump economy.  Bluegreen alliance reports gain of over 700,000 manufacturing jobs under Biden administration.  Thanks to inflation reduction act, infrastructure law and CHIP act.  In contrast, loss of over 200,000 manufacturing jobs in Trump first term.  Energy innovation estimates loss of 1.7 million jobs by 2030 if project 2025 is implemented by Trump.

    Bureau of labor statistics report that 2025 was the worst year for US jobs growth since 2003.  In two terms, Trump inherited strong economies which declined under his watch.

    I think Trump has some explaining to do with his BLS staff, I thought he fired the one because the data was wrong and inaccurate and had revisions and he was going to clean it up himself and call the new organization TrumpJobs right? Well lookie lookie here is a cookie and as I personally droned on about against several of our resident Trump fans that the nature of how the data is collected causes revisions over and over and over. It had Z E R O to do with the liberal or whatever nonsense running the BLS and everything to do with the structure of the data. Now with big boy in the chair we still have revisions revisions revisions and his best job growth ever in the history of this country looks like garbage for the last year.

    What a massive shocker...wait no its not a shocker if you have any intelligence at all.
