CFP alluded to this but to actually see it makes you want to put your own head through a wall.

Wonder if they are somehow including furloughed workers in the "new jobs" category. Those, of course, aren't new jobs.


yeah, is this every company that got a PPP to keep employees on 'the books?'

The thing is, he could rightfully take credit for that too. Say something like by providing immediate assistance to small business owners across the country my administration has helped 2.5 million people return to work and continue to get a paycheck. But no he just literally thanks himself and shouts into the void.

Donald Trump has suggested George Floyd will be pleased about US job numbers, saying the man who died after a police officer knelt on his neck "is hopefully looking down, saying this is a great thing".


What a fucking asshole.

If you can stomach it you should watch the PC replay. He read like one scripted bullet and then went into a 40 minute frantic babble riff. If they release a transcript it needs to be a wall of text with no spaces to do it justice. Too much adderral today

I would pay so much money to see the shocked faces of his staffers when he said this. Have fun spinning that one.

I would like to do peyote with him in the desert, so he could talk himself dry and I could abandon him there to die.

Biden has lost some zip on the fastball, but Trump is exponentially more incoherent. Too much diet coke or diet something.

If Biden can win in November, who becomes the new face of the GOP and the frontrunner for 2024? My early feelings are

Pence (obviously)
One or more of Trump's rotten kids (Ivanka or Don Jr-but who are we kidding, it will probably be Eric because nothing matters and why not)
Cotton (using the military to kill protesters fires up the base and the establishment)
Dan Crenshaw (he's been making the rounds on a lot of shows lately and has the gift of saying crazy things while not sounding crazy)

Rubio and Cruz are too tarnished by Trump's cucking of them last time.

obviously a darkhorse, but with the possibility of moving the convention to phx, some are saying it's to help raise the profile of governor doug ducey.

meh... don't think so, but that's some of the talk anyway.

trump really did crash and burn the republican party.

You forget that if Trump loses he will still be eligible for another term.

I guarantee you he won't forget that.

I could definitely see Sasse raising a ton of money, polling horrifically, dumping everything into Iowa, and losing to some other freakshow we don't even know about yet.
