Based on the highly provocative statements of the Former President of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, who is now the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, I have ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that. Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences, I hope this will not be one of those instances. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Thank god the Navy got that order. Because they don't normally have our submarines in good locations.
Also, chances that Trump, now with 4.5 years as CINC under his belt, knows the difference between a nuclear (propelled) submarine and a submarine with nuclear weapons?

Answer: Next to none.
Also, Greenland, Denmark, and Panama (and Canada) are thrilled to hear that it's very important for world leaders not to say incredibly stupid, belligerent things.
It is worse than that. May and July numbers were revised down to 19k and 14k respectively. Those were down from 144k and 147k that were initially reported.

[I]f Trump keeps up the tariff stupidity, inflation will continue to creep up, the Fed will hold on interest rates and companies will go into belt tightening mode as profit drop. That is when Trump will go down in history as the first president to steer a healthy economy into stagflation by sheer stupidity and incompetence.
The Fed is now put in the unenviable position of holding its rates steady--while joblessness increases--or cutting them, almost certainly exacerbating inflation.
The Fed's twin goals of full employment and controlled inflation (target: 2%, year over year) are often in tension. With both unemployment and inflation on the rise, it's hard to see how the Fed will achieve either goal in coming months.
Tariffs (and anticipation of tariffs) are inherently inflationary; uncertainty about tariffs predictably causes a contraction of the economy and reduced hiring. It didn't have to be this way.
Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh BREAKING - 'TOTAL AND COMPLETE GARBAGE!': CNN data analyst says the Democratic brand is "in the BASEMENT." "It is total and complete garbage in the mind of the American public. The Democratic Party's net favorable rating record lows in all three. Wall Street Journal, 30 points underwater. CNN, 26 points underwater. Gallup, 26 points underwater."
I am disgusting with the Democratic party for their lack of fight, going back a long way including the Garland SCOTUS appointment block. I suspect that a lot of other democrats agree, but most would still pull the lever for a democrat when given the choice between a Trumper. Don't think for one second that means people are moving to Trump. His approval ratings clearly show that is not the case.
Thank you for a post with substance from a reputable source. Let's hold both of these Admins to the same level of scrutiny. Painting a rosy picture then later trying to quietly downgrade to reality, hoping no one will notice, is unacceptable. Transparency is what the people want.
Yes, this ^^^. I'm not sure that the arc of the universe actually bends toward justice, but it definitely bends toward reality. Getting accurate data, regardless of which administration they might help or hurt, helps in assessing both the current situation and the actions or inactions that an administration takes to address the situation. ________________________
As an aside: The anemic (revised) job figures for recent months bolster President Trump's contention that the Fed should already have cut rates. But if he trumpets those figures, then he's admitting that job creation under his administration sucks. There's a real conundrum: How does he blame Biden for the whole situation?

That's easy. Just separately blame Biden for both. His target audience will never spot the inconsistency. Just look at the MAGA posts in this thread.

Hegsmiths Signal texted this out yesterday, including fleet, class and aqua-vector.
Medvedev and MANY other Russian execs and government media have been issuing "highly provocative statements" -- i.e., threats to use nuclear weapons against Americans and their allies -- since 2022. Russians hate us and want to kill us. Is Donald Trump really just realizing this now in August 2025? Good for him, and better late than never I suppose, but maybe try actually reading the goddam PDBs and intel updates you have stored in the bathroom, for Christ's sakes.

That is the easy part. Just say it as if it was a fact. Maga will believe. FOX, X, et. al. will parrot. Almost no one in the magasphere will question it.
Project 2025 would purge the federal government of any agencies or personal that could possibly shed truth on Trumps performance. The conics reports would be untrustworthy.
Today we have this:
“Trump announces he has directed his team to fire the Commissioner of Labor Statistics. “Important numbers like this must be fair and accurate, they can't be manipulated for political purposes.”
Not only are the President and First Lady pedophiles, Trump loves and surrounds himself with other pedophiles. He cherishes and protects them, grooming scumbag.
What is the current right wing spin as to why Trump is showing favor and eventually a get out of jail free card to a convicted pedophile sex trafficker like Maxwell?

Are they even trying to spin this one away?
I think they just say "Biden showered with his daughter" or "Biden had the Epstein documents for four years and didn't do anything." They haven't come up with any talking points specific to Maxwell yet.
Bukele’s party advanced major constitutional changes in the Salvadoran Legislative Assembly that will allow a president to serve an unlimited number of terms.
Not only are the President and First Lady pedophiles, Trump loves and surrounds himself with other pedophiles. He cherishes and protects them, grooming scumbag.
Based on Trumps own stated timeline, he remained best buddies with Epstein at least 3 years after he “stole” his underage spa girls that wound up being raped and shared with sick rich white guys.
Someone needs to ask Trump what he believed Epstein was doing with these underage girls that he says were stolen from him. What would a legit rich financial guy need his girls for?

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump I was just informed that our Country’s “Jobs Numbers” are being produced by a Biden Appointee, Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, who faked the Jobs Numbers before the Election to try and boost Kamala’s chances of Victory. This is the same Bureau of Labor Statistics that overstated the Jobs Growth in March 2024 by approximately 818,000 and, then again, right before the 2024 Presidential Election, in August and September, by 112,000. These were Records — No one can be that wrong? We need accurate Jobs Numbers. I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY. She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified. Important numbers like this must be fair and accurate, they can’t be manipulated for political purposes. McEntarfer said there were only 73,000 Jobs added (a shock!) but, more importantly, that a major mistake was made by them, 258,000 Jobs downward, in the prior two months. Similar things happened in the first part of the year, always to the negative. The Economy is BOOMING under “TRUMP” despite a Fed that also plays games, this time with Interest Rates, where they lowered them twice, and substantially, just before the Presidential Election, I assume in the hopes of getting “Kamala” elected – How did that work out? Jerome “Too Late” Powell should also be put “out to pasture.” Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Even the pedophile seemed confused: “I’m proud to be on this team,” Taylor said. “I don’t know why. I don’t know what we are supposed to be doing, but I’m here to serve. I’m here to serve. OK, so I’m going to do the best I can for as long as I can.”
