    There is a lot to like about the stellar February jobs report. But its most impressive takeaway is that people in traditionally blue collar and white collar industries got new jobs last month. 

    Of the 313,000 jobs that were added last month, 92,000 were in the construction and manufacturing sectors. Another 50,000 were from retailers that were hiring. 

    "Blue-collar sectors drove these gains, led by mining and construction. Manufacturing is now outpacing the economy overall, and even retail had a strong February," said Jed Kolko, chief economist with job search site Indeed, in a note titled "Almost Nobody Left Behind in February's Jobs Report.


    and with the meeting with Kim Jong Un, it could go bad or it could go really well, time will tell.


    Hugh I agree that President Trump is a complete ass as a person but adding a lot of jobs and meeting with the world's worst dictator in a face to face meeting is something positive.

    It's been a bull market with job growth for 9 years running now... why do people actually think Trump turned around an economy? I don't understand it

    Horrible leaders have had good economies before, that doesn't change the fact that they are horrible leaders

    if it was all about what he's done, you're right, it wouldn't be as terrible as everyone says (much of it still bad, but I digress). but a good part of it is how he conducts himself. he just called a journalist a "sleepy eyed son of a bitch". what kind of shithead president says something like that in public?
    An immature,  petulant,  spoiled narcissistic "president" who only thinks about, and is worried about, one person and one person only.

    The hypocrisy of republicans being happy about Trump agreeing to meet with Kim Jong Un is on another level

    Nothing they said yesterday should matter today and nothing they say today will matter tomorrow. These are people creating their own reality as they go.

    Particularly without conditions and railing against such a meeting because it would give Kim Jong Un what he craved most, legitimacy by a “superpower.” But that is the current state of the repube party, principleless.

    Oh yeah; they are all over the place.  Anecdotally it seems like very few people have gone from like-to-hate or hate-to-like.  

    For many of them, it was never about "issues" and I think it stopped being about the good of the country long ago.  This is about pissing off their greatest enemy.  This is also known as "owning libs."  This is not about issues, the economy, abortion, the environment or even immigration, walls, religion, or homophobia.  This is a big, thousand-foot-scale cultural war.  Some of those issues I mentioned (immigration, religion, etc.) play a role in this war but for the most part, this is about sticking it to whoever they're sticking it to...the "elite" I guess.  

    And they're winning the war.

    Yes, where I live, the demented walk the streets!  They emblazon their vehicles with flags and bumper stickers.  Scary people!
