What are you making for your party this Friday?

Life inside the bubble...

Or head up carrot top's asshole...

The "call-out" was Trumps 4am tweet about the Chevy Cruze hatch being made in Mexico. Americans hate hatches for some reason but GM sold 190,000 Cruze's here and 5,000 were hatches so they sold 185,000 American made Cruzes and Drumpftard bitches about 2% of them...

This is bullshit.

They announced $2.9 additional investment last year under black Jesus.

Also GM said the $1 billion investment will create or retain 1,500 jobs. That is nothing absolutely fuck all in the great scheme of things. If it's good for you locally that's fine but around 200 000 new jobs have been created every month under the last guy.

Be wary of spin...

8 x 12 x 200,000 = 19,200,000. Obama created almost 20 million jobs?

On that graph looks like your guy Bush was worst president ever and that jobs usually increase more under Democrat presidents.

14 million since 2010.

[Von Halen]

They already announced this, Vongina! Like weeks ago...

That was a different announcement, dumb dumb. This one was just announced yesterday.

As far as Odumbass creating all those jobs. He created less than minumum wage jobs, and that's it. He did one hell of a job putting our teenagers to work in fast food joints.

Both Bush's did poorly going by job growth. Clinton was the best. Reagan was second best. This link explains other factors that affect job growth. http://seekingalpha.com/amp/article/...residents-fair
I find the graphs kind of confusing though.

14 million since 2010.

The figure I found was 11 million total but I'm sure I could find higher and lower figures depending on the source.

[Seshmeister]

Whatever and it's not clear how much influence presidents have on job growth.

My point is that if during every single fucking month of his presidency Trump comes on twitter boasting about saving 1000 jobs it's completely irrelevant.

The golden rule with all politicians is that when they want something to sound big they use numbers and when they want it to sound small they use percentages. It's the oldest trick in the book.

If they say 'We addressed that problem, we spent $20 million on it' go look at the figures and it's amazing how often that is like an increase of 0.001% or suchlike.

People just aren't good with big numbers and politicians know this. A lot of people aren't good with percentages either hence the number of sports people who say in interviews they gave 110% all the way up to 1000% effort.

By the time the Superbowl starts America will be so great again you'll forget all about your negative feelings towards Trump.

Was that excerpted from today's Trump marching orders via Kellyanne Conway, or...?

Wouldn't it be ironic as all Hell if the BCE "crashed" Cheeto's coronation, by having Poppy & Babs drop dead and have another three week corporate media mourngasm, like they did when Reagan went to the great Jelly Bean factory of the underworld.

Word is that neither of them are doing very well........
