LOL.

Yo, is there a way you could convince yourself that the U3 unemployment index is still being computed the same as ever when the report is released next month?

Maybe everyone who was there before?

My impression is of a very inexperienced team coming in and being given the run around by "Washington".

He fired practically everybody. Has hired very few. The executive branch is basically a ghost town still. Perhaps try being informed?

Do you also blame their inability to operate the light switches on typical inside-the-beltway politics-as-usual?

Not sure what leaking his stupid conversations has to do with any run around anyway.

leak: "Trump said he's going to send soldiers to Mexico."

run around guise

Yeah, I hear Denis McDonough is hiding under the Oval Office couches during calls with Putin in order to leak everything.

Asking lord to be informed is like asking trump to be intelligent.

This isn't even hard stuff. The previous administration staff don't stay in the white house. Trumps team thought they did, because they, like lord are not smart and don't do their homework.

You thought he would let random Obama people stay? Really?

It is incredible how many Trump supporter talking points are just straight up bull****.

Are you disputing their point that every single person who stopped looking for work immediately started looking once Trump was in office?

Just like every single fraudulent vote was for Hillary! Obviously

More evidence for Sam Bee's claim that Trump's illiterate.

Last week, Bill Pascrell -- a Democratic member of the House Ways and Means Committee -- sent a letter to Chairman Kevin Brady requesting that he ask for Trump's tax returns from the past 10 years.
Unfortunately Brady (R) and Hatch (R/dick) are the committee chairmen.

You're trying to do that Scott Adams "create your own reality by writing down what you want to happen" thing aren't you?

In before Trump says all people out of work are metaphorically re-employed Making America Great Again and so employment is now a stunning 0%. Obviously the arduous and ambitious right-wing propagandist would quietly rejigger the U3 enemployment index or something like that. Post-factual layabout Presidents are just going to say cheering on Trump while he's on TV is actually a civil service job.

"Americans Now Evenly Divided on Impeaching Trump" (46% to 46%)

www.publicpolicypolling.com/main/2017/02/americans-now-evenly-divided-on-impeaching-trump.html

PPP's new national poll finds that Donald Trump's popularity as President has declined precipitously just over the last two weeks. On our first poll of his Presidency voters were evenly divided on Trump, with 44% approving of him and 44% also disapproving. Now his approval rating is 43%, while his disapproval has gone all the way up to 53%. If voters could choose they'd rather have both Barack Obama (52/44) or Hillary Clinton (49/45) instead of Trump.

Just three weeks into his administration, voters are already evenly divided on the issue of impeaching Trump with 46% in favor and 46% opposed. Support for impeaching Trump has crept up from 35% 2 weeks ago, to 40% last week, to its 46% standing this week. While Clinton voters initially only supported Trump's impeachment 65/14, after seeing him in office over the last few weeks that's gone up already to 83/6.

At least you can deal with yours.

Gotta walk around minefields with some family members.

Can you explain what is 'leftist' about the notion that people should suffer discrimination on the basis of their religion?

Podcast from Slate called Trumpcast came recommended on this forum, and I've been listening to every episode since that recommendation a few weeks ago. A 24 year old journalist Olivia Nuzzi requested an interview with Preibus I believe, and was actually granted a 1 on 2 interview with both Steve Bannon and Reince Preibus titled Steve Bannon and Reince Priebus Want You to Know They Are Friends, where they proceed to act as though they aren't all at war with each other, each of the major white house staffers. In the Trumpcast she basically says they're really leaking to a constituency of one, Donald Trump. He's so hooked on CNN Fox et al. that they feel the best way to get through to him is to leak good things about themselves individually or bad things about their opponents (other staffers) to various media outlets hoping for coverage to sway Trump's opinion.

WAAF LLC sounds like a pretty solid business premise. You have some competition in Kansas.
