Numbers are different for a lot of months in the 2 links for some reason.
I can't see too many more months of unemployment dropping. Something weird happened this month with unemployment dropping to 4.5% from 4.7% but only 95k jobs added. I thought something like 150k jobs have to be added to keep pace with population increases. Probably lack of immigration? Either way, 4.5% is awfully low. Can it hit 4%? The numbers are going to turn sour soon.
As a reminder. Look how low the current rate is (few months out of date).

WASHINGTON — Ten legislative days before funding would run out, Congress is heading toward another government shutdown showdown. Democrats and many Republicans are likely to refuse to go along with President Trump’s request for money for a border wall financed in part by outsize cuts to medical research. And the specter of another fight over Planned Parenthood funding is also in the offing.

2pac wasn't lying when he said the Democrats and Republicans are basically huge gangs. The amount of schemin' going on puts organized crime to shame.
Especially when his first and last names contradict each other. It's insanity, it's like his parents just grabbed a load of letters out of a scrabble bag when they were stoned one night and threw them all up in the air and then when they landed there was the name they were going to call their child.Nukes in South Korea or assassinating Kim, kinell.
I say they invent chemtrails and then chemtrail the shit out of DPRK.
Its clever, in his short term PR deflective strategy because his voters will blame them for all the failings. And I'm sure a lot of the operational and implementation issues have been because of them. But the doctrine and philosophy comes from the very top so changing them wont really change things going forwards.
Likewise, iI doubt any genuine upcoming Washington politico's would risk their career for a boss who will either get kicked out of the White House, or they get sacked themselves because of the next nutty Trump idea. So Trump actually has little option than appoint his trusted New York clan of family members and sycophants. They will last for the next cycle: 2 more months before their incompetence is also exposed and then Trump has no more new clothes left.
I'd love the input from people who know the UK, on this related subject: https://www.redcafe.net/threads/the-great-get-together.427952/
NATO airstrikes kill dozens of refugees, including children, just weeks earlier but its the image of dying children in Idlib that compels Trump to try and compromise the Syrian Air force.
US action kills Middle Eastern children nearly everyday since 1990 - one 8 year old girl was shot dead by US special forces the day after Trump became president. He applauded that operation.
Now, with the Syrian army advancing and IS on the run, the US attacks its infrastructure. Its clear, Donald Trump is an Islamist. He hates Syrian refugees, loves Saudi Arabia and supports IS.

From a while back but this is pretty funny:
r/Politics is pretty decent
r/Politics is pretty decent
Well that didn't go well for trumpy did it
The line about outsourcing his comebacks to China is pretty great.
The utter lack of inventiveness in Trump's responses is also great.
The options listed are bring back nukes to SC, kill the fat kid, or black ops in NC. And the first one is "the most controversial"??
@Carolina Red you are screwed buddy
I can't believe that POTUS not only keeps getting dragged into petty Twitter arguments but also responds like an insulted teenager. Seriously, this guy just launched air Strikes!
Just heard a conservative talk show host (Larry Elder show) argue that "if you're upset about Trump bombing Syria, just thank god that Hillary isn't president and you'll forgive him"
A reminder that this is still an elaborate ponzi scheme
The irony is that he alt-right Bannon faction of his base are completely against the stirkes.
O'Reilly just called Assad .. Saddat
Hmm. Could that potentially lead to an Oswald-type and incident? Those far right loons aren't shy about taking on the gub'nent.

Airstrikes are really good interference.
I bet it all goes quiet about the Russia influence now because he's done this.
He's the ultimate twat. I feel repulsed when I see him on tv. Netflix is a godsend.
Never fails does it. Massive case of misdirection. Or am I too cynical?
To be honest most of them are cowards who like to use the alt-right tag to hide behind their abhorrent views that they're only comfortable holding under personas where they can't really be identified. One of the most notable acts of violence involving one of them was when they got twatted in the face. Which was quite cathartic.
Mostly true but I was referring to the likes of Nichols, McVeigh, Rudolph, Kaczysnki, Hill, etc.
He's so divorced from reality I truly think he'll have believed he won.
Yesterday, CNN had Nicholas Kristof from the NYT on air.
He said that the mistake journos have made with Twitler yet is that they headed after the shiniest new toy he threw at them - and reminded everyone that the main unanswered question of this presidency is still the extent (if any) of contact/collaboration/collusion between Russia and Twitler's camp.
I've heard a female (American) journo saying something similar in the middle of another air strike debate.
As long as a couple of journos keep on digging into this dirt, I'm a bit less pessimistic than you that it'll go quiet on that subject.
It reminds me of the Never Mind the Buzzcocks episode where that twunt Preston walks off. Before hand he got into an argument with Bill Bailey and Simon Amstel interrupted and said "Preston, can I just stop you there, you're not going to win. He's a professional comedian, he literally does this for a living whereas on the other hand you are really stupid".
If you're interested in 45's nominee for FDA Commissioner, Scott Gottlieb, here's a profile:

His hearing was a bit under the radar this week but appeared to have gone rather well. Got asked about the link between vaccines and autism which he rejected.

I think that was that Donny Tourette guy they used to have on, he was a right knobhead
Ahhh yeah that was it. Perfect retort from Amstel all the same.
