1. All of this aided by a do-nothing GOP controlled Congress.

4. Payback is not going to let MAGA see
the errors of their ways. And live in a civilized country which is what Democrats want. Payback is like Trump not sending FEMA aid to states that voted blue and it is corrupt. That is what banana republics do. It is not good for you. Honestly, if someone is into payback, I run from them.

10. Disagree
They need to feel pain. Remember “I am your retribution?”

They voted against their interests and got ****ed!

But we all got ****ed, they need to take more pain. It is the only way they will learn.

To add: I’m done sending my tax $ to these states while the ignorant ****s from the South piss on CA. Balance your budget Red States, 50 years of covering them is done.

I will donate to relocation funds for liberals, but not to Red State politicians. No different than sending funds to Israel for Bibi to run his scams and immoral policies. The only thing they will understand is the funds being cutoff.

More bluesky garbage

[Ralph Wiggum]

Lies, damned lies, and fake statistics. That's all you have is bullshit manipulated data to further your narrative.

Have fun with your new pal Hasan Piker, Democrat Party. He should be the face of your failing enterprise.

1. Checking my calendar ........ it's summer, when teachers, profs, educrats, and other school employees are "unemployed". But for these and other miscellaneous government employees moved/moving on - remember that 57,000? - there would have been a jobs increase.

2. Remember how LIEden's jobs numbers always got readjusted/corrected downwards, sometimes more than once? Trump's readjustments follow no pattern, sometimes downwards, sometimes upwards. Come next month, there's at least a 50-50 chance that 23K loss will become a ##K gain.

THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING GOVERNMENT

https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2026/08/the-incredible-shrinking-government.php

John mentioned the July  jobs report yesterday, which showed a net reduction of 23,000 jobs, driven by a monthly 53,000 loss in  government jobs at all levels. The bulk of that reduction came in the category of local government, namely public schools. Overall employment at the federal level also dropped slightly in July.
...
Digging into the numbers, overall employment at the federal and state government levels and with local public schools, are all down for the past year. That means hundreds of thousands of workers are now available for more productive pursuits. The number of federal workers has dropped by almost 11 percent since last July.

BLS reports, https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t17.htm , break down their stats by sectors. BLS is the source of the 53K government jobs loss data, not some MAGA's rectum. More to the point, the Trump-Hater meme creator knew this and lied by omission, concealing the facts that manufacturing, services, and service-industry jobs all increased, and the 23K "job loss" was more than entirely in government jobs.

Democrats shouldn't complain about the do-nothing Congress.

If it weren't for the do-nothing Congress, we would have the SAVE Act, which I'm sure Democrats know would hurt their election prospects.

[CollectivismMustDie]

And live in a civilized country which is what Democrats want.

People who wish to live in a civilized country, do not support open borders.

People who wish to live in a civilized country do not give support to individuals like hasan piker, who says that America deserved 9/11.

People who wish to live in a civilized country do not support, let alone endorse or vote for islamic terrorist types.

People who wish to live in a civilized country do not support let alone endorse or vote.for.those who wish to abolish prisons, abolish the senate, or abolish the supreme court or the presidency.

People who wish to live in a civilized country do not support government becoming the 'HR DIRECTOR'  of society.

People who wish to live in a civilized country know the difference between a man and a woman and aren't afraid to say it.

If the DUmmies and BlueSky crowd looked under the hood, which they never do, is to look at what job sectors are increasing and most importantly disappearing.

It is impossible to link a reliable source including the BLS and the Department of Labor, but 75% of industries are experiencing job growth. The one group that is losing jobs: Government and associated job functions, including health care and Somali Learing Centers.

Well, linking BLS stats might earn a granite pizza on DU or its equivalent on Bluesky, but the current BLS stats are linked in my first Reply to this thread.
