The thing I like about Karoline Leavitt is... well, nothing. I don't like anything about her if I'm
Annual CPI is required for everything from Social Security benefits to TIPS principal adjustment. When Federal government releases annual CPI then a missing month can be determined. As for the monthly BLS jobs report, it is required by law. 29 USC sec 2 “The Bureau of Labor Statistics shall also collect, collate, report, and publish at least once each month full and complete statistics of the volume of and changes in employment . . . “
“Required by law.” Trump, um, isn’t especially concerned about that sort of thing, John.
True but bondholders and the SSI hordes will be mighty concerned and this isn’t something even Bondi wants to take to the Supreme Court. There’s $1.5TR of outstanding TIPS; not the best place to start Mar-A-Lago’ing. Social Security isn’t called the “third rail” for nothing.
You can’t quote laws to the Trump administration. If the U.S. applied them, the whole group should be dressed in prison garb.
Please stop pointing to specific laws. TRUMP IS THE LAW, period. The only way that changes is for the GOP to start doing what they were sworn in to do.
Stop acting brand new.
The numbers were great–trust him.
I sure hope Putin’s and Xi’s underlings are as stupid and incompetent as Trump’s are. We see ours making idiots of themselves every day, we don’t see theirs, but human nature dictates that they must all be alike.
You could use the format of her quote (“October CPI and jobs reports [will] likely never being released.”) in a number of other situations, as well.
For example: The Epstein files (will) likely never be released.
I’m sure everyone here does realize that the real problem here is that people continue to believe things like “blame the democrats” every time things go sideways when the GOP has power. And then blame the democrats for things the GOP did when they had power but delayed until after they lost power.
As long as people continue to naively trust “experts” because they claim to be on the same side as them (the “right” side) we’re never going to solve any of this.
What baffles me is that I assume at some point, everyone comes across someone in their personal lives who never takes accountability. Trump exhibits every single characteristic of a narcissistic toxic liar who never ever takes accountability for anything bad, but takes credit for anything and everything supposedly good (which is highly subjective for most of the “good” things Trump claims).
The basic lack of pattern recognition tells me our evolutionary advantage is disappearing quickly, but then again, maybe tribalism was the primary evolutionary trait that got us here today. I guess if that only gets half of us killed, that does technically mean humanity has survived and the march of evolution continues.
Missies Leavitt and Huckabee are two peas in a pod. Karolina does at least one press conference every day. What does she do in between talking trash. Does anyone suppose she ever read an actual book not written by a silly Republicate? Who supports her? Does she have Sugar Daddie protecting her, besides Trump? Does anyone suppose she can make an existential mistake? Musk did. Kennedy is getting near edge.
