Spin this one.

But Biden promised 1.7 trillion jobs would be created within his first week of being president!

Look, it says so in this article with no sources!

Best part is, they're paying higher wages to attract workers. Funny, maybe for the first time restaurant workers will be treated as essential.

I'm waiting for a poster to arrive to say "incredibly disappointing performance" or complain that people aren't the most comfortable in service jobs. It's like clockwork.

They’ll complain they aren’t “real jobs” like stock broker or temporary pipeline contractor

Shocked that's there no sign of whomadegod, would have thought he'd have been the first person in here to congratulate Biden on the solid jobs numbers seeing that's he so quick to criticise when they're "disappointing". Ah well, maybe he'll drop by tomorrow :pac:

Overheal · 04-07-2021 07:38AM

Speaking of solid numbers, the WH seems to be trolling the GOP in response to their frantic attempts to blame biden for inflation.

https://twitter.com/WhiteHouse/status/1410709115333234691?s=20

Probably a bit of cherry picking/texas sharpshooting here of course. There's no baked potatoes or corn on the cob at this BBQ, or buns. Or hot dogs, or pie, or the proverbial or real cherry. They don't even mention that side salad. Down $0.16 as in 16% is presumable but unclear and potentially misleading. Still the thrust of the claim is that food prices are not inflating out of control, in contradiction to critics. But it's so narrow a scope: The Cost of a 4th of July Cookout in 2021. Chef's kiss, this is good bull****, really owning the libs redhats with this one.

Hande hoche! · 04-07-2021 09:42AM

It's the fourth of July, should you not be thinking more Red coats than red hats?

osarusan · 04-07-2021 10:19AM

Pretty silly tweet in my opinion. No need to get into a stupid trolling battle with anybody, and a $0.16 saving is hardly significant.

At best, you achieve nothing. At worst, it turns out that ingredients were cherrypicked to arrive at the figure, then you have to defend them.

biko · 04-07-2021 10:31AM

It would be good to know the price context.
Is it usually 300 dollars or 30 dollars for that particular BBQ?

Its talking to real people about real things.

Sounds trite in a political context but one of Trump big advantages is talking to his audience about stuff that they can relate rather than the actual large issues.

GOP: Inflation is running amok, Biden is bad!
WH: Actually inflation is down slightly
GOP: Not slightly enough!

Does that pretty much sum it up?

Inflation is happening everywhere.
Happens when you open up and demand surges.

Hopefully it should reverse when supply catches up.

Pretty much what the Fed chief said recently.

Interesting comments from Powell. I hadn't heard the 'pandemic causing people to retire' (from presumably someone else on the Fed board.) That means more experienced people out of the workforce, probably some bit of a push down on wages as more experienced == more expensive, replaced with younger, less expensive workers.

$32.46

The point is the economy is growing without consumer goods inflation

A GOP member thought he wasn't being recorded when he spoke to a lobby group about what the GOP's real strategy currently is - and it is nothing to do with invocating bipartisanship, surprising no one:

“Honestly, right now, for the next 18 months, our job is to do everything we can to slow all of that down to get to December of 2022, and then get in here and lead,”

The people who were working to cut the deal, by the way, were not your conservative warriors in the Senate. And so they’re cutting a deal, but then Biden, who came out and said ‘We have a deal,’ allowed Pelosi to basically kind of step in and go, ‘Whoop, no you don’t. You’re only gonna get that deal if you have reconciliation with all this liberal garbage. And then Biden said, ‘Ok, yeah.’ And they kind of backed away from the deal. Then he kind of came back away from the veto threat, so nobody knows what anybody’s gonna do right now. That’s the thing. This is the problem. I actually say, thank the Lord. Eighteen more months of chaos and the inability to get stuff done. That’s what we want.

No doubt the same idiots will criticise Biden for not reaching his vaccination goal.

The same idiots will celebrate in actively stopping the USA from reaching its vaccination goals not realising that now there will be less of them alive to vote against Biden.

(How the **** do I just bold some text from a quote now)

Remember when I said this, that "conceivably, Tucker could have started using his personal phone number to call Vladimir Putin at his desk or something, then, yes, he'd jump to the top of the NSA radar?"

WELL, ICYMI right after Boards went down for it's big overhaul, I was essentially bang on the money - Tucker Carlson had been texting and emailing Putin, and it was reportedly to arrange an interview.

https://www.axios.com/tucker-carlson-putin-interview-surveillance-c9952d7c-33d7-45e9-be68-2ba4c3817f98.html

So, he emailed Putin, did something he knew the NSA would know about from pure algorithm (we PAY them to spy on communications in and out of Russia, among other foreign places) so he decided to get out in front of the story and out of nowhere accuse the NSA of spying on him.

Explains why Fox never ran the story themselves about Tucker's alleged NSA spying scandal, bc they knew it was bullshit and he brought it upon himself.

Unemployment weekly claims at 16 month low... That's back to what they were in March, 2020, during the run of the 'world's greatest economy,' before the pandemic broke free in the US. More winning by the Biden admin

I hate to be that guy, but is it because they kicked more people off assistance or because more people got jobs?

Igotadose · 19-07-2021 05:11PM

https://boards.ie/discussion/comment/117631400#Comment_117631400

Be careful. The 'kick them off' crowd were at the state level, so states that provide unemployment benefits, in addition to the federal benefits, have cut them in some cases. The states can't muck with the federal benefits. The enhanced federal benefits run to September. Eleven million US citizens are on 'continuing benefits,' i.e. the pandemic-related federal relief.

The number I quoted is first-time unemployment claims, ie., new job losses, not a great number but the one that's been in use by the media for decades. This article which isn't paywalled or limited gives a better breakdown: https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/01/us-weekly-jobless-claims.htm

More of this manufactured HIPAA privacy BS.

Now we have a US Senator trying to imply that praying for people in church violates their medical privacy. It does not, but I agree with the journalist that this argument was 'bizarre.'

I agree completely. We got so used to a President making a tit out of himself multiple times a day that the world feels a bit emptier now that we have to wait for weeks for such events.

It's real: he crushed it.

Not everyone thought so, though: they latched on to uhms and hmms and ha's etc. basically tldr 'how dare Biden think critically on the fly'

Apparently none of them could find any fault with the substance of what Biden's politics were though since they failed to mention it.
