Commerce Secretary's Monumental Face Plant...
« on: August 22, 2024, 12:10:42 PM »
Say's Donald Trump's claims of over 800,000 jobs being removed from the jobs report in the first quarter are just more Trump lies.

The only problem is...

The Bureau of Labor Statistics removed 818,000 jobs from the job report because they simply never existed.

Was this the one who said they did not know what the Bureau of Labor Statistics WAS?

My favorite line that these jokers use (and both sides do it) is, " I haven't seen anything like that" (as she did when the reporter said that it came from the Bureau of Labor Statistics). She would be one of the FIRST people to have seen that. Certainly before the reporter did or when it went public.

They cut it off but I think she was saying she wasn't familiar with the report from the bureau and not that she is not familiar with the bureau itself. Still bad because as Ben said above she should have been one of the first people to see it.

They're in full blame Trump mode and that we need to elect Harris so that she can fix the problem

And that is the big problem with DEI that anyone benefiting from it should ponder.  EVERYONE will look on them and wonder if they got the job because they were good enough or if they were just the right kind of diverse.

 Been doing that for years. It is not DEI, it is IED for minorities. Of course it only hurts the competent...
