  1. I'm not taking the bait! It's in the IG report.
  2. A good summary of hybrid MAGA/Russian propaganda! 🙂
  3. BS. The facts about the investigation have been scrutinized and exposed in the IG report and the Durham investigation. 🤣 Are they misinformation spreaders? 🙂
  4. Oh the faux outrage! McCarthy did exactly the same under Biden! 🤣
  5. Yes, State and local employees. More generally, it's mostly sectors less affected by tariffs which are showing a job growth. The labor force also shrank by around130,000 workers, helping to decrease the unemployment rate.
  6. I'll be more explicit for you. 🙂 The thread is about private sector jobs. The relatively good June numbers are due to government jobs.
  7. The job increase is largely due to government jobs... https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/employment-by-industry-monthly-changes.htm
  8. Complete BS. The Russia investigation did not start because of the Steele report. Confirmed by the IG report and the Durham investigation. Oh and it couldn't anyway as it started before they got the Steele dossier! 😆 More lying from the Trump administration! 🤣
  9. Wow! 🤣 Employment up 256,000 in December 2024; average gain of 186,000 jobs per month in 2024 https://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2025/employment-up-256000-in-december-2024-average-gain-of-186000-jobs-per-month-in-2024.htm
  10. 147,000 jobs is not bad, indeed! 🙂 (BTW, my initial post was about private jobs. Actually it's public jobs increasing in June.) Employment up 256,000 in December 2024; average gain of 186,000 jobs per month in 2024 https://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2025/employment-up-256000-in-december-2024-average-gain-of-186000-jobs-per-month-in-2024.htm
  11. And that's the interesting part: it's largely due to an increase in public employment at state and local level. Does it mean that some of the public employment decrease at the federal level is being replaced by State and local public employment? "Government employment rose by 73,000 in June. Employment in state government increased by 47,000, largely in education (+40,000). Employment in local government education continued to trend up (+23,000). Job losses continued in federal government (-7,000)" https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm A full original report is always better than a tweet! 🙂
  12. Trolling blah blah...😆
  13. More lame deflection. It's the Americans who are paying tariffs, not Vietnam!
  14. Blah blah. Tariffs are not paid by the exporters, they are paid by the importers who forward it to the final customer. It's a tax and it's a domestic tax! Trump is lying, as usual. Vietnam doesn't pay any tariff. It's a lie for the gullible! 🤣
  15. Inflation down because of opec (see chart) Biden food inflation in December 2024 and January 2025: 2,5%. Trump 2.9%. Not only are food prices not going down as oromised by Trump (and as you wrote in your post), but they are increasing more than at the end of Biden's mandate! 🤣 https://www.bls.gov/cpi/
  16. Cherry picking the year with the highest global inflation! At the end of Biden's mandate, with a similar economic context, food inflation was lower than currently. And Trump promised to bring prices down (not inflation rate down). It will never happen!
  17. Inflation similarly peaked in other countries as it was a global inflation phenomenon. At the end of Biden's mandate it was 2.9%. If one excludes the oil inflation decrease caused by opep as it's external, Trump's inflation numbers are similar.
  18. It's you who claimed that food prices were dropping. Another 'rhetorical device'?
  19. Complete MAGA B.S. The IG confirmed the investigation was properly predicated, and the Durham investigation failed
  20. Inflation is down because of opec. Food inflation is higher (2.9%) than under Biden (2.5%).
  21. His comment may not be the wisest, but it raises a relevant issue. If the US withdraws its nuclear protection, should it be replaced, and by what?
  22. Wasn't there a MAGA claim that layoffs in the public sector would be compensated by an employment increase in the private sector?
