You are correct that the media has always been biased but what part of the FBI, CIA, DOJ and democrats colluding with the media to take down a president don't you understand as wrong?mrussel1 said:I've never been to a political rally. I'm guessing very few on this board have. If that's the your barometer, well we're not in a cult. We don't LOVE our candidate unconditionally.
Why do you think the media isn't supposed to be biased? It's always been biased. When this country formed, political parties had their own newspapers. They were called 'organs'. The WashPo is left, the NY Post is right. MSNBC is left, Fox is right. If that's your argument as to why the election was fraudulent, well that's pretty weak sauce.0 -
Nearly all of this is untrue.TJ25487 said:Well there it is! The question of the week. You or someone else asked me this the other day but I didn't have time to properly respond so I didn't as I knew what I said may be used against me in a court of law. Haha! I do believe Trump doesn't think Biden won. I think he thinks he won and that's why he is so adamant about it.
I realize this is a loaded question as if I say no then you are going to demand proof which I don't have but at the same time I don't need a weatherman to know if it is raining outside. Do I think a man who spent a lot of his campaign time in his basement and when he did try to organize a rally had 12 people show up but he got 81 million votes. Many millions more than Obama got on his best day. That seems like quite a stretch don't you think?
I have had a few people tell me that 81 million people weren't voting for Biden as much as they were voting against Trump and if that is true then that brings us to the main reason the election was fraudulant: The mainstream media and the Washington establishment aka The Swamp for 4 years tried to unfairly smear President Trump with the many now known lies that they contrived such as Russian Collusion Hoax, The Ukraine Hoax, all of the lawsuits filed against him in New York etc. Not to mention what we knew all along and finally got validation with the Twitter files that the Feds colluded with social media to censor Trump and many conservatives to sway the election. This cannot be disputed if you have half a brain. They not only tried to suppress the majority of conservative Americans first amendment right of free speech but they also suppressed the Hunter Biden laptop which polls said could have easily swayed the election to Trump if it had gotten out.
Washington was asleep at the switch when Trump got elected as they never thought it could happen, hell they even tried to pump him up into running as they thought he would be an easy target for Hillary but they underestimated the American people. Of course the FBLie agency put an insurance plan in place by illegally spying on Trumps campaign and then formulated the Steele Dossier and the Russian Collusion Hoax which you guys may or may not know of based on all of those great and reputable news sources you listen to.
At the end of the day the majority of the Republican voters believe there was some type of fraud in the election and that is the travesty here.
Arguably the worst thing that can happen to a democratic society is to lose faith in their elections which is where we are today.
See you at the bar!0 -

Economy adds 311,000 jobs in February, reflecting ongoing labor market strength
The job gains came in lower than January’s eye-popping numbers but the figure beats economists’ expectations
The economy churned out 311,000 jobs in February, reflecting impressive labor market strength more than a year into the Federal Reserve’s fight to cool the economy.
The unemployment rate ticked up to 3.6 percent last month, still near longtime lows, according to data released Friday from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.The job gains came in lower than January’s eye-popping numbers, but reflecting ongoing resilience in the labor market, fueled by surging consumer demand in a variety of industries, especially leisure and hospitality and health care.
“The entire labor market is cooling off,” said Luke Tilley, chief economist at wealth manager Wilmington Trust. “But it’s still incredibly tight. It’s just not as tight as it was in the middle of last year or in 2021.”
For months, the labor market has shown signs of cooling, as demand for workers has gradually declined, with some exceptions, since last June. There were 10.8 million job openings in January, a small decrease from December, the Labor Department reported Wednesday. Layoffs in January rose to a high not seen since December 2020, in part reflecting the high-profile job cuts that have swept across the tech, advertising and media industries in recent months. Disney, Zoom, Yahoo and Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp all announced mass layoffs in February.
Economists said January’s shocking job growth, adjusted down to 504,000, might have been skewed by seasonal adjustments, as employers in this tight labor market hoarded workers more than usual coming out of the holidays.
The resilient labor market comes as a blessing for many workers, affording many the ability to switch into better jobs and negotiate raises over the past year and a half. Average hourly wages rose by 0.2 percent between January and February. Overall pay is up 4.6 percent from a year ago, to an hourly average of $33.09 an hour.
However, the Federal Reserve could use the labor market’s strength to justify raising interest rates at a more aggressive pace than outlined just months ago, which Federal Reserve Chair Jerome H. Powell talked about while testifying before Congress earlier this week.
Inflation has fallen since reaching 40-year-highs last summer, but prices remain well above normal. A new inflation report to be released next week will provide more clarity on whether the Fed has made enough progress to continue slowing interest rate hikes.
The strength of the labor market is largely being propped up by booming consumer demand for services and experiences coming out of the pandemic. Some of the largest job gains in February were in leisure and hospitality, retail trade, government, and health care. Employment fell in information, transportation, and warehousing.
“There are reasons to be just bullish about the strength of the U.S. consumer propping up job growth for the foreseeable future,” said Julia Pollack, chief economist at Zip Recruiter. “Business-to-consumer companies are doing extremely well. Everything from hair salons to pizza shops.”
Despite the robust labor market, many workers are still struggling to make ends meet with prices that are growing at a faster clip than wages. The rising costs of basic necessities such as housing, gas and food are contributing to inflation.
Eduardo Romero, 60, an Uber driver in Los Angeles, said lately he often spends more than 50 hours a week driving for the company to take home around $1,000 dollars. He used to work about 40 hours a week, when he first started driving in 2017, but that’s no longer enough to afford basic necessities for him and his wife.
“The price of eggs and beans is so high right now,” Romero said. “I want to retire, but I’ve told my wife that I will have to work until I’m 70 to have enough to live on.”
Hiring has eased some for employers grappling with labor shortages, but the leisure and hospitality industry is an area where workers have unusual leverage. Employers are still struggling to attract workers. The industry, comprised of hotels, restaurants, bars, and casinos, had nearly 1.7 million unfilled job openings in January. Many people have left the industry for new careers.
Steven Majkrzak, the owner of five restaurant franchises in the Fargo, N.D. metro area, said he has had to change his entire employment model to attract workers, including offering signing bonuses, adding new tipping options, hiring younger workers, and raising wages by $7 an hour in some positions.
Still, one of his delis is currently operating with only 25 to 30 workers instead of the normal 45 to 50. The unemployment rate in North Dakota was 2.1 percent as of December, one of the nation’s lowest.
“The 18 to 26 age range has really almost disappeared from our workforce in North Dakota,” said Majkrzak. “Our strategy has shifted to hiring people outside of that demographic. We’ve resorted to hiring people as young as 14.”

Do we agree on something? Holy crap. I don't think this is good news either. I'd like to see some more softness in the economy so that the the Fed can slow the discount rate increases, and inflation can cool a little bit more.
