The U.S. added 22,000 jobs in August, with unemployment rising slightly to 4.3%, in the latest sign of a slowing economy.

The numbers, from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, have taken on new scrutiny after President Donald Trump fired the head of the agency following July’s lackluster jobs report, even as economists warned that the move was a step toward politicizing the statistics gathering of the federal government.

The latest jobs figures were lower than a number of economists expected. As is typical, the BLS revised its figures for July up slightly, by 6,000, to 79,000 jobs added during the month. But the June figures were revised down, from 14,000 to a loss of 13,000. That is the first month of job loss since December 2020, noted Heather Long, chief economist at Navy Federal.

Those guys listed are really ugly, physically and mentally. Epstein could get them what they wanted.

Above my pay grade to have any insights into your question and the ick factor will keep me steering clear of any rabbit holes.
As the Nixon era taught us, 'it's the coverup that will getcha' and for those who won't be specifically on any list, it's the enablers that will join them in the consequences and that's going to be a helluva big list.

I'm liking that the 2 Congressmen who are leading the push for this list to be publlicized recognize that the victims will face huge exposure to lawsuits so they plan on using their Congressional protections and will read the list on the floor of Congress because that will be protected by statute from liability.

Good fix.
Ken's use of the word IF is the tell.
What's the bet that the Epstein list will include Rupert Murdoch, Alex Jones, Rush Limbaugh, the Koch brothers, Denny Hastert, Newt Gingrich and Mitch McConnel?

I doubt all of them, but wouldn't be surprised if one or two were. And Denny Hastert seems to have preferred boys.

My question continues to be, "why do cults almost always appear to have some weird sexual abuse, often of children, thing in their culty ways?"

If my "cult" is truth justice and raping little girls.

Fixed it for you.

Ken is a walking, talking, posting example of what happens to a brain that lives in a cult.

[dorankj]

Nope, not even close. There was never a switch and Trump killing terrorists who are drugging our citizens is just fine. You are full of sh**, I don't care what 'degree' you say you have you're wrong over and over.

Ken, why didn't you read the link I gave? Why haven't you bothered to check on Jingles' post to see if it's accurate? The only possible answer is that you know if you checked you'd find your opinion had no basis in history, that Jingles' post was bunk and that your effort to protect pedophile Trump is empty.

Trump is losing in every court across the land for the simple reason that he is acting outside the laws of this Country and with the strike on the Venezuelan boat that he authorized he has crossed the lines of global maritime law as well now. There is nothing about his actions that speak to someone who respects law and order and no matter how many times you guys rewrite history it won't change today's Trump administration law breaking.

There was never a "party switch", the republican party was formed to abolish slavery and Abraham Lincoln (emancipation proclamation) was the first Republican president.

As someone who has History degree, focused on that exact period, I can assure you that you have your head completely and firmly very, very far up your own ignorant trump-tard azz. Everything you can see is brown. You need to blink more frequently.

[dorankj]

[Rideback]

I take Jingles cartoonish post as a capitulation. Having to go back and rewrite history in order to defend Trump is a pretty big white flag of surrender.

[PAL]

Jingles would like all Democrats dead now, so that he can live in a dystopian world but still collect his social security.

[Rideback]

So, you do know that the two parties switched, eh?

Strange how facts are ignored

[Rideback]

Nice jab Ken, but Trump still needs to release the Epstein files.

[dorankj]

You're delving into particularly serious lies Ray! God is not mocked, known lies are punished. Maybe a little humility is useful to set yourself up to ask forgiveness?

Trump is posting on Truth Social that he's going to give Rudy G the Medal of Freedom
Trumpland Diaries
"If you haven’t been following breaking news, Rudy Giuliani was in a serious car accident yesterday. He fractured a vertebrae and is still in the hospital.
Trump hasn’t mentioned his former personal attorney’s accident on social media or expressed any well-wishes. HOWEVER…
He just posted this on Truth* Social:
“As President of the United States of America, I am pleased to announce that Rudy Giuliani, the greatest Mayor in the history of New York City, and an equally great American Patriot, will receive THE PRESIDENTIAL MEDAL OF FREEDOM, our Country’s highest civilian honor. Details as to time and place to follow. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”
While Rudy was most definitely “America’s Mayor” in the aftermath of 9/11, he suffered a staggering fall from grace (the likes of which the world has never seen! ) after getting mixed up with Trump.
A key player in the Big Lie - and a focal point of the Jan 6 Committee hearings - Giuliani was disbarred in New York in July 2024 for “demonstrably false and misleading statements to courts, lawmakers, and the public regarding widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election that posed an immediate threat to the public interest.”
He was subsequently disbarred in DC in September 2024 after having his license suspended in 2021.
He was also sued for $1.4 billion in 2021 by Dominion Voting Systems for defamation, alleging they helped rig the 2020 election - a case that is still ongoing.
He was also sued for defamation by Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss for falsely accusing them of manipulating the GA vote count. He lost that $148-million case and it’s considered settled.
In short, Giuliani has done more to single-handedly undermine America’s trust in our voting process than probably anyone, other than Trump himself. He’s lied, slandered, libeled, defamed, been sued into oblivion, and disbarred for his efforts.
This is the kind of depraved charlatan Trump thinks deserves the Medal of Freedom."

I don't worship ANY politician and have never stated Trump is in any way perfect or completely innocent (only 1 man ever was and I don't think you guys know Him).

Hmmmm... Starting to see some cracks in Ken's obsessive support and Infatuation with trump...

Kind of entertaining when someone shows their true colors, eh?

Ken, you'll feel better about yourself if you are just honest with yourself and admit you are defending filthy perverts.

"Nobody's perfect" is a hell of a low bar.

[dorankj]

You guys are quite the reprobates all while trying to convict me! Your guy slick Willy Clinton is who went to that debauchery 28 times not Trump. I don't worship ANY politician and have never stated Trump is in any way perfect or completely innocent (only 1 man ever was and I don't think you guys know Him).

Hell of a crap show you're running here Ray!
