Speaking of lawyers - how many has Donnie hired in the last 18 months? Talk about improving jobs numbers...

People inside the WH are in league to keep Donnie from acting on his irrational impulses and outright dumbassery.

That's got to make you feel good about your staff when you read something like that...

[Professor Tiger]

DS, come on down to Elbert County GA with me some time. I’d like to introduce you to the guy who cuts down my trees. He’s only a high school graduate, so you can explain to him what a intellectually inferior hillbilly he is, and how he is not now, nor will he ever (or maybe should never) make a living and raise his family by cutting down trees as a forester. His improved job prospects are just a figment of his imagination. The reason this is so is because he uses a big machine. You would know these kinds of things, after all. You’re a lawyer.

You flat earthers act like Trump is replacing all of these lost low tech manufacturing, mining, forestry or whatever sort of job that required more raw man power prior to current advancements, and he is not doing that and can’t do that.

I am surprised that a UNC grad and lawyer would have so much trouble understanding a CNBC article. Let's review:

This chart shows jobs in industries like mining and construction are thriving under Trump

At the top of the list, jobs in the mining and logging industry are up 13.5 percent since the election.

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/06/01/this-ch ... trump.html

That means that the number of jobs in the logging industry (as well as the mining) industry has gone up by 13.5% since Trump got elected.
That means 13.5% more people are working logging jobs since Trump got elected.
That means 13.5% more people are employed in the logging industry since Trump got elected..
That means 13.5% more people are being hired by the logging industry since Trump got elected.
That means 13.5% more people are going off to jobs which mostly require them to cut down trees since Trump got elected.
That means 13.5% more people are being paid actual money to mostly cut down trees since Trump got elected.

Your point that the 13% more people who are now being paid actual money to cut down trees than before Trump got elected is completely unaffected by the fact that they do their jobs with "current advancements" (i.e. machines). You may not be aware, but loggers have not been "raw man power" (using handsaws) for a long time. In fact, loggers have been cutting down trees with big machines for about 100 years now. I tried (apparently unsuccessfully) to explain to you that you don't have to have a college degree to operate those "current advancements" (i.e. big tree cutting machines). In fact, I suspect that the overwhelming majority of the people who are paid actual money to operate the "current advancements" (i.e. machines that cut down trees) are people you have contempt for - ignorant hayseeds who only have high school diplomas. But that has not prevented 13.5% more of those backwards racist Trump voters from being hired to use machines to cut down trees since Trump got elected. They really do exist. Trump made them.That means he can.

Hope that helps.

New low for you...anonymous source...lol.



Also, when multiple hit pieces were put out about W years ago, MSM always had the accompanying poll showing descending approval....too bad all the forces garnered against DJT can't seem to do anything put increase his support.

[Toemeesleather]

Even the LA times has the common sense to call a spade a spade.....and the author has their name on it.

If you're reading this, senior White House official, know this: You are not resisting Donald Trump. You are enabling him for your own benefit. That doesn't make you an unsung hero. It makes you a coward.

[Toemeesleather]

More good news....


Former Secretary of State John Kerry won't rule out a run for the White House in 2020, but talking about it now is just a distraction, he tells "Face the Nation" anchor Margaret Brennan. The interview will be featured September 2 on CBS' "Sunday Morning" and on "Face the Nation."

"More good news...."

Damn, I was hoping you were going to tell us you had the AIDS...

[Professor Tiger]

Question for the board:

How can a man who...

-Started his business career with a million dollars and wound up a multi-billionaire
-With no political experience whatsoever ran against 16 opponents for the Republican nomination, and defeated them all
-Ran against the most powerful and well-funded political machine in modern times - the Clintons - and beat them for the presidency
-Ran against the the Establishment wing of the GOP, the entire mainstream media
-Ran against the top leadership of the FBI, DOJ and Intelligence community, who violated numerous laws in their attempt to defeat him
-Has been running rings around all of the above and implemented most of the agenda he campaigned on in less than two years

...how can a raving lunatic (as he is constantly being portrayed) do all that?

[aTm]

Racism!

[Toemeesleather]

...speaking of raving lunatics....anybody watching the dems on the Kavanaugh confirmation hearing?

[Professor Tiger]

Yeah... lucky for them nobody except us political junkies watch SCOTUS confirmation hearings. It would be great if all the networks showed the stark raving Democrat lunatics behave like what they are - stark raving lunatics. Like Corey Booker, climbing a cross, bravely willing to face being kicked out, for publishing “damning” Kavanaugh emails. Until it was revealed that those “bombshell” emails were already cleared for release.

Corey Booker, who is clearly dying to run for President, is trying to be like Colin Kaepernick, bravely willing to “risk everything.” In Kaepernick’s case, the “everything” he risked was being an already crappy unemployed NFL quarterback. In Booker’s case, he is risking being a nobody crappy senator from a crappy state.

The ultimate revenge for Kaepernick’s histrionics will be when Nike’s profits tumble, just like ESPN’s, the NFL’s, and Dick’s Sporting Goods. The ultimate revenge for Corey Booker’s drama queen performance will be the seating of Associate Justice Brent Kavanaugh. He, like Justice Thomas, will remember those who attempted his attempted political assasination, and will judge accordingly for the rest of his life.

Dang, these are good times!

You tell em, Prof. Your opinion matters. Don't mess with Fightin' Father Mulcahy, boy when he gets fired up you better watch out. This shit's for real...

Did I say the numbers had failed to rise? No. I tried to explain to you how the numbers would never reach previous heights and thus keeping much of that labor force under/unemployed.

I’m drunk. Fuck your orthodox loving self, you apostate, mustachioed government leech.

Hello!

Hello!

A solid effort. Not quite up to AA’s standards, but still pretty darned good. You even used the word “apostate” just like him. I give it a B+. In time, your AMGL might overtake the traditional PYAAM and ATAPR.

Donald Trump went to Montana for one of his Please Love Me And Tell Me I'm Loved, NO, MORE! MORE! rallies, and while the words falling out of his dumb dough face were the usual random stream-of-sundowning brainturds we've come to expect, the crowd behind him was more interesting than almost anything he said. While the White House is clearly dysfunctional, the choreographers for Trump's Montana event were fine-tuning the composition of the chairs on the Titanic people standing behind him as the speech droned on and on.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the "content" of Trump's speech, the Toronto Star's Daniel Dale provides his usual fine summary, instaquotes, and fact-checking on the fly, and Trump had a few noteworthy crazy things to say, like his very important question, "If I've 'lost it' like they say, how can I give a rally speech for an hour without notes?" Because as we all know, people who've lost it are only able to ramble on and on, telling demonstrable lies, for up to 55 minutes, and then must stop. Trump also said that since Lincoln's Getty'sburg Address was initially mocked and ridiculed -- a claim that irritated several historians -- then maybe in 50 years people will all recognize how truly brilliant Trump is. You bet!

Donald also had some difficulty condemning the anonymous author of that New York Times op-ed, largely because he couldn't manage to pronounce the difficult word "anonymous." Bad denture day, dementia, or drunk? YOU decide!
