The entire system is broken right now, as Kamala said.

I'm not sure how any of this can be fixed at this point. From a political structure standpoint, the US is totally broken and its population is far too polarized to agree in any meaningful way to fix it.

It will truly be interesting to see what the US looks like over the next 20 years.

It’s not just the system being broken and polarized views either… it’s literally the fact everyone thinks everything is a conspiracy or hidden truths now, people believe everything AND nothing at all now.

How do you proceed as a people when everyone thinks everything is out to get you and every decision is the result of a hidden agenda of some sort.

Throw in AI into the mix and we're approaching a world where everything can be considered fake or fabricated.

We can't even agree on basic facts or reality.

How do you parse that?

I’m glad I’m almost to a point situationally and age wise that I can kind of just withdraw and focus on hobbies and small joys lol, don’t need to pay attention or be invited in any of this trenchwork anymore

Trump thread 2.0

Cheeto puts the blame on yet another government official for job losses:


-from CNN:


President Donald Trump has fired Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, whom he accused, without evidence, of manipulating the monthly jobs reports for “political purposes.”

The BLS’ monthly labor report Friday showed that the US economy added only 73,000 jobs in July, far below expectations. It also sharply revised down the employment growth that had been previously reported in May and June – by a combined 258,000 jobs.

After the revisions, the jobs report showed the weakest pace of hiring for any three-month period since the pandemic recession in 2020.


Dumb ass never ever takes responsibility for screwing up anything.

Bureau of Labor Stats is a non partisan department.

Does TACO think that he can hire anyone to give false job statistics to make him the economy look better than what it really is happening?

Just LOL at the irony of your comment. Bro, you are part of the problem.

Remember when you falsely accused someone of causing the Lapu Lapu Day Festival? You have no problem spreading misinformation yourself. Don't think you ever apologized either. Next time wait for information from an official channel.

Cheers,

Yes, he does.

Plus, any news that doesn't paint him in a favourable light is FAKE NEWS.

Did Mike tickle the tonsils of someone you care about? That’s a long time to hold on to whatever that was.
