AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

Due to the terminal TDS of the MSM, there's no way the Trump administration would put forth phony numbers.

Only when the media glows and praises an administration should the numbers be suspect.

Well lucky for her we don't have strong employment numbers. Otherwise her statement would sound even more foolish than it already does.

 However, it’s safe to say  that  if these similar jobs and employment numbers came out while we had a President Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi would be touting it as evidence of how successful Clinton’s economic  policies are

What we are going to need is consistent 3% or greater yearly GDP.

I thought it was W that started using those fake jobs numbers.  Was it O?  Anyway, we all (including Trump) knew during the O admin that the numbers were bullshit to make things look better than they were.  They're still bullshit numbers, but as long as how they're calculating their bullshit numbers hasn't changed, then we can look at them relative to each other and see that the unemployment rate has improved.  The problem, as I see it, is that while he was campaigning (and I think maybe prior to that) called the numbers bullshit, and since being elected has touted them.  That's just being lazy; use the real numbers, that still show improvement, and explain how people have been duped by the previous administration(s).

If he corrected the U3 calculation the number would necessarily jump, and the morons who think that number is Unemployment will assume he screwed this up too.  The only way to get it fixed is to junk it completely and force the morons to rely on the other, more correct numbers.

Oh!  Of course you do.  No surprise because you are the bestest darn Trump supporter there is.  Loyal too.  It wouldn't matter what he did it would be the right thing.

I have to add the bigliest too!

The change in the economy has been noticeable since Trump came into office.

Many of the folks on this board live in bucolic, maybe exurban, unincorporated areas of the country, with less population and slower change. But, I live in bustling NYC and when more money begins circulating and paychecks fatten, the impact is felt and seen immediately on the streets as business activity picks up. For rent and for sale signs come down, shopping and dining out increase, street vendors proliferate, less homeless roam the streets.

I’ve also lived in rural, suburban and exurban areas, but they don’t reveal changes in economic activity like population and financial centers do. The mood shift is palpable.

The mood shift is indeed "palpable" ... and in the best possible way.  Hiring is up, RFPs are flying out the doors, hell, even lunch time is different ... restaurants require reservations again and the buzz of conversations interrupted by bouts of laughter are again the norm.

Palpable, indeed!!

Your Trump-worship blinds you.  It’s as sickening as Maureen Dowd’s Obama-worship, and cut from the same cloth.

I get up and cheer the good news a lot.  But I do not abandon my skepticism, and for that I am called a "coward" by some  (not you).   :shrug:

Is it any wonder I'm also a cynic?
