Remember when Steve Bannon was headed to prison for ripping off MAGA dullards for $ millions to "help build the wall" at the Mexican border?
Trump pardoned Bannon on 1/20/21, hours before Biden took office, nipping that prosecution in the bud. The US would've been better off with Bannon in prison.

According to 3 officials Russia is providing Iran with targeting information to attack American forces in the Middle East. Remember, Trump had opportunities to provide Ukraine with missiles that could have devastated Russia but refused. Cozying up to Putin isn't in our interests.

Say it plain: This is a terrible jobs report.

The U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs in February, nearly double the expected loss of 50,000. It’s the third payroll decline in the past five months.

πŸ“ŒNote: This is one of the worst monthly payroll drops since Covid.

It's horrifying to see US politicians and pundits evoke the 6 US soldiers killed in their unprovoked war of aggression, while ignoring the 1000s of Iranians killed. It assumes that Americans only care about American lives. Which is evil, obviously.

Here's the point to remember about the brutal negative revisions in today's job market report: They aren't saying the labor market showed green shoots that withered. It's saying that there never were any green shoots. They were an illusion.

Actual MAGA pretzel logic: "I voted for tRump 'cuz he promised to be the Peace President and wouldn't start any wars. He's keeping that promise. He didn't start any war against Iran, he's finishing one".

Former editor here: "Imminent" means "likely to occur at any moment." There's no such thing as 47 years of imminent.

Congress voting again today to pass war powers resolution

Democrats United defending the Constitution.

MAGA= fascist authoritarians that wipe their ass with the Constitution & want the military to be used as a global extortion tool and to help the President of the United States Benjamin Netanyahu

This was clear from the jump, but the Venezuela invasion going as smoothly as it did, from a pure operational perspective, is going to prove catastrophic in the long run.

If it’s true that the United States bombed an elementary school and killed scores of children it is an unfathomable crime. I have never been more disgusted to be an American.

The economic story just changed dramatically.

Payrolls fell -92k in Feb. Jan growth was revised down by -4k to +126k. And Dec revisions subtracted -64k to -17k.

Unemployment rate up a tick to 4.4%.

Recession questions are back on the menu

So Trump wants a say in who leads Iran. Really? Has anyone looked at the collection of losers he's had in both of his administrations? His plus minus on HR decisions isn't stellar.

When Charlie Kirk died,Trump lowered flags nationwide for him.

6 US soldiers die and not only will he not lower the flags nationwide for them, he just says β€œsome people will die.”

"Uncorroborated". As if women would just lie about something that. I suspect a good number of child rape cases are always going to be "uncorroborated".
