Took some work, but I think I've found the data. BLS Data, AGGREGATE WEEKLY PAYROLLS OF ALL EMPLOYEES, THOUSANDS If I'm reading that correctly, then we're looking at total, national, payrolls. Looks like, since Biden took office, the number has gone from 126723770 to 143618727 Which works out to a growth rate of 10.5% per year. For comparison: Trump: 2.2% Trump, first three years: 4.8% Three years prior to Trump: 4.5% 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCB Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Was reading a book about the Cold War and this quote from President Truman’s speech, basically inaugurating the Truman Doctrine, blew my mind: At the present moment in world history nearly every nation must choose between alternative ways of life. The choice is too often not a free one. One way of life is based upon the will of the majority, and is distinguished by free institutions, representative government, free elections, guarantees of individual liberty, freedom of speech and religion, and freedom from political oppression. The second way of life is based upon the will of a minority forcibly imposed upon the majority. It relies upon terror and oppression, a controlled press and radio; fixed elections, and the suppression of personal freedoms. 75 years later and the GOP looks exactly like what we were taught the enemy was. Tell your friends! 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Nebraska Republicans oust party leader during turbulent state convention Nebraska GOP Chairman Dan Welch opened the state's GOP convention Saturday by saying he hoped the event would "clear the air" in what he admitted was a divided Republican Party. He ended the day fired. Nebraska GOP delegates voted to oust Welch after eight years as the party chairman during a tumultuous convention that also saw one party activist be arrested outside the venue, win reinstatement as a delegate while he was still in jail, and then return to the meeting. Welch later was replaced by Lancaster County GOP Chairman Eric Underwood through a majority vote of delegates. Underwood had introduced the motions that led to Welch's firing. Before Welch's termination, delegates passed a resolution to amend the state party's constitution to allow delegates to immediately remove an officer with or without cause by a majority vote. Welch supporters called his termination a "coup d'etat" and criticized other delegates for trying to push through motions without debate. "Go start your own party," one attendee yelled. The tension was high from the start of the convention after the state party's credentials committee last week revoked credentials for six delegates. One of those delegates, Matt Innis from Crete, was arrested in the morning for third-degree assault and second-degree trespassing, according to Buffalo County Jail records. But following his arrest, a majority of the GOP delegates voted to reinstate him, along with four others who been blocked from attending the meeting. Their credentials had been revoked because they had spoken out against Republican leadership or nominees, including Ricketts and Pillen.

When the camera pans out, I fail to see any minorities there. But, remember, he’s done more for black people than any other president. I mean, he’s hired at least 4. All of these GOP hacks keep complaining about not being able to say anything because they are not allowed. Well, why the hell am I hearing it? Obviously you’re allowed, you’re just a ****ing dumbass. By telling the world the thing you are not allowed to say while simultaneously telling the world you cannot say it is just pure idiocy. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're trying to inspire voting from a bunch of people who "aren't racist". But who have built up decades of resentment about not being able to say "the N word" in public. (And if you just keep voting Republican, we'll make it so you can, again.) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 At some point this trend of republican voting for obvious morons becomes an assault on democracy itself. There’s no way anyone can have any faith in their government if one party keeps electing whatever fool is willing to say the most outlandish things to a room full of hooting idiots. 1 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balki1867 Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 When Herschel Walker's senate run ends in failure, I'd like to subscribe to his YouTube channel where he explains things to the MAGA crowd. "If the electoral college is legit, then how come they don't play in the NCAA? Since they're not part of the NCAA they don't have to follow any rules so its not really fair they get to decide our president. They don't even have to play a weak Big Ten schedule, so we know they wouldn't survive in the SEC. But they get to pick our president." 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@DCGoldPants Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 ****ing Bolton. He spent more of that interview complaining about Raskin and then how Patty Balogna tried to block his book.

China Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Ron Johnson's $280k cash gifts to chief of staff and wife draw U.S. Senate ethics complaint U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson and his wife paid his former chief of staff and his wife $280,000 in cash gifts while they worked together, an arrangement Democrats say is a breach of Senate rules, according to an ethics complaint filed Monday. Noting the cash gifts in the complaint had been publicly available for years, Johnson spokesperson Alexa Henning called the complaint frivolous and said the Oshkosh Republican hasn’t done anything wrong by gifting money to his former chief of staff and longtime friend, Anthony Blando. Henning declined to specify why Johnson made the payments, but noted Johnson first contacted Blando in 2003 after Blando was diagnosed with cancer, and Johnson offered to pay for his continued treatment. The Senate has ethics rules meant to limit how much congressional aides can be compensated and also how much and from whom they can receive gifts. The Johnsons’ cash gifts to Blando appear to follow one guideline allowing aides to receive gifts from senators, but appear to clash with another guideline saying cash gifts aren’t acceptable. They also raise questions about whether they are an attempt to circumvent the compensation limits. Click on the link for the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TradeTheBeal! Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Bolton is an absolute garbage idiot human being who will say anything to try and make himself look important. Dude couldn’t “plan a coup” against the Prince William County PTA. Here’s my favorite clip from his Wikipedia page…kinda says it all. Bolton was a supporter of the Vietnam War,[33]but avoided combat through a student deferment followed by enlistment in the Maryland Air National Guard MUCH BRAVE! SO INTERNATIONAL EXPERTISE! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
