There is Absolutely Nothing "Surprising" About the Loss of 92K Jobs in This 'Project 2025' Economy

So, not only is President Epstein Files embroiling America in another hopeless, billion taxpayer dollars a day war of choice in the Mid East, he is also steadily trashing the American economy at home:

"WASHINGTON (AP) — American employers unexpectedly cut 92,000 jobs last month, a sign that the labor market remains under strain. The unemployment rate blipped up to 4.4%.

Hiring deteriorated from January, when companies, nonprofits and government agencies added a healthy 126,000 jobs, the Labor Department reported Friday. Economists had expected 60,000 new jobs in February.

Revisions also cut 69,000 jobs from December and January payrolls.

The surprisingly weak employment picture in February adds to the economic uncertainty over the war with Iran, which has caused oil prices to surge and saddled business and consumers with unforeseen costs."

 

The country should have seen at least 60,000 new jobs in February.

Instead, nearly 100,000 were lost.

Drumpf's great Iran War Adventure will ensure that any positive economic developments in the American economy will be cancelled out and rendered moot.

A months long Iran war most likely will usher in yet another Republican created recession.  Hang on to your wallets and bank accounts folks, because you know damn well who always gets to foot the bill for fucking Republican wars - that's right - Mr. and Mrs. US Taxpayer . . . AND . . . Mr. and Mrs. US Consumer.

You have to remember - the Republican party, long before the orange menace came along, had an impressive track record of inheriting fair to robust economies from Democratic presidents, only to trash those recovering economies with their undeclared wars and regressive, billionaire fondling economic and tax policies that punished average American workers and rewarded the silver spoon in mouth heirs of the billionaire class who are already wallowing in more ill-deserved wealth than they could ever dream of having, much less are deserving of having. 

I mean, ffs, you got Drumpf tweeting out AI pictures of how he imagines his new, nearly half billion dollar, gold-gilded ballroom being built in his own honor at a time when he and Pete Kegsbreath are contemplating putting American soldier's boots on the ground in a hostile country of nearly 100 million pissed off Arabs:

 

 

Time to face reality.

Drumpf doesn't give a shit about 'jobs' or 'job reports.'  Just like he couldn't give less of a fuck about American soldiers being sent off to wage war and die in a foreign, hostile land because he himself made the colossally boneheaded decision to join Israel in waging a holy war on Iran.

There is no telling how badly this dangerously stupid Iran conflagration will spin out of control, or how badly Drumpf and his clown show administration will fuck things up even worse.  The only thing we all can confidently count on with Drumpf himself is that if there is a way to make an already horrifying situation even more horrifying, DonOld Drumpf is the man to do it, and he will have plenty of help from the pathetic quislings in his administration.

Oh yeah, lest I forget - gas prices have shot up 11% nationwide (per AAA) since the Iran bombing began and are likely to go higher the longer the conflict drags on and even more so if the shipping lanes of the Strait of Hormuz are threatened and shipments of gulf energy supplies are cut off.  That's going to get ugly pretty quick.

And you know it's only going to get worse because we have now seen Drumpf and his lackeys and apologists, in just the space of a few days, go from saying America's engagement would be days, to a couple of weeks, to now saying it will be an unspecified number of "months".  

You can almost smell the lust that emanates from the regime change/nation building mission creep fantasies of Drumpf's MAGA lieutenants and compromised apologists and it's unnerving.  

As for Drumpf's Iran War business partner Bibi Netanyahu - that criminal piece of mass murdering shit has had a boner for waging war on Iran - WITH THE U.S. AT HIS SIDE of course for 45 years.  Well, it looks like Bibi finally at long lost got his rocks off, and the witless faces of Drumpf and MAGA are the lucky recipients of that foul, incestuous copulation.  Sadly, American taxpayers get stuck cleaning up the sticky, unholy mess afterward.

Yes-siree.  A convicted felon, Epstein Files POTUS and his criminally indicted, UN wanted Israeli war criminal bff really pulled a number on Americans this time, didn't they?

😶 Good luck everyone.

America's Great Protector "Guesses" There Will be Death on American Soil

Not comforting in the least.

In fact, it's quite disturbing on a multitude of levels.

 

Link:  'I guess': Trump admits Americans should be worried about retaliatory Iran strikes at home - Raw Story

 

"President Donald Trump made a stark admission on Thursday about potential retaliatory strikes by Iran, according to a report.

Time Magazine reported on Thursday that Trump admitted Americans should be worried about Iran striking the U.S. His comments come a few days after U.S. and Israeli troops coordinated strikes across more than 100 sites in Iran, which killed several top military and political leaders in the country.

“I guess,” Trump said in response to a question about whether retaliatory attacks could happen at home. “But I think they’re worried about that all the time. We think about it all the time. We plan for it. But yeah, you know, we expect some things. Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.""

   

Let's quickie deconstruct that.

First off - let's establish a baseline of truth to start from.

Drumpf, all by himself, without consulting the US Senate, without consulting the US House of Representatives, and without consulting the American people, consulted with the criminally indicted, wanted war criminal leader of Israel to launch a tag-team bombing war against the largest, most heavily armed state in the Arab world and has assassinated 80% of their leadership structure with no known plan in place for what comes next other than more and less discriminating bombings.

Secondly, here we have another instance of Drumpf himself referring to what's going on in Iran as "war," and of course it begs the obvious question, who gave him authorization to take the country to war based solely on the advice of a criminally corrupt foreign leader and a conniving Saudi oil sheikh? 

And now Drumpf just blithely shrugs his padded shoulders, and with those dead, porcine eyes, and that callous, deadpan look tells Americans to prepare for Iranian retaliatory attacks on the US mainland.

I mean . . . ffs.

So essentially folks, when some hell-bent jihadist looking to exact revenge for the attack on Iran by Netanyahu and Drumpf perpetrates a mass casualty event in your city or community, you can't say you weren't warned it was coming.  Daddy Drumpf flatly told you that people die in war, and so I "guess" you should have better prepared for it.

DonOld's Shitshow Regime Just Dropped Another Load on The Country

Well, of course, the big news of today is that ICE Barbie, aka Madame Puppy Killer, aka Kristi Noem, Drumpf's atrocious hire for DHS chief, was fired from her job, and to add glory to insult, she took her mile-high fuck toy houseboy and herpes sore in human form, Corey Lewandowski with her:

 

Link:  (1) Live updates: Noem fired as DHS secretary, Mullin to replace | AP News

 

"President Donald Trump on Thursday fired his embattled Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, after mounting criticism over her leadership of the department, including the handling of the administration’s immigration crackdown and disaster response.

Trump said he would nominate Oklahoma Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin in her place and make Noem a “Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas,” a new security initiative that he said would focus on the Western Hemisphere."

  

Lol.  Poor Kristi gets shuffled off to the "Special Envoy" wilderness.  I think this is Drumpf's way of dragging Kristi out behind the White House to the open gravel pit where the East Room used to exist and pumping a bullet into the back of her head.

And for anyone who didn't get the obvious reference in that quip to Kristi Noem's method of dealing with unruly pets, just click this link here and get yourself caught up, mkay? --> Trump VP contender Kristi Noem writes of killing dog – and goat – in new book | Books | The Guardian

But good for Kristi. She played her dutiful role in Drumpf's fascist mugging of the country and true to form, Drumpf shits on her and shows his underlings once more that loyalty is a one-way street with Donald Trump. 

Oh, but all of this gets better, or ever more horrifying depending on your level of cynicism.

So who did Drumpf waste no time in naming as KKKristi's replacement?

Well, it should come as no surprise that he nominated yet another totally unqualified, MAGA fuckwit whose sum total of National Security experience is that he inherited his old man's plumbing business when he was younger:

 

 

Link: Sen. Markwayne Mullin Lowballed Plumbing Salary in Fight With Teamsters - Business Insider

  

"A Republican senator drastically understated how much money he made in the private sector as he argued with the head of the Teamsters union at a hearing in Washington on Wednesday.

While lambasting Teamsters president Sean O'Brien for his nearly $200,000 salary, Oklahoma's Senator Markwayne Mullin claimed that he paid himself a salary of just $50,000 when he ran a plumbing business. But his financial disclosures show his salary was nearly $92,000 in 2012, the year he was first elected to Congress. His total income was even greater." 

 

That's right.  Drumpf appointed a plumber to be in charge of safeguarding this country's 'homeland' security.  

Not a person with military experience.  Not someone with national intelligence experience.  Not someone with law enforcement or border security experience.  

A plumber.

And a lying, crooked MAGA plumber at that.

Lol.

. . . . sigh . . . . some days I just can't with these fucking people . . . I really can't . . . .

But, today is not one of those days.

Anyway - this all gets back to my recent posts about why Drumpf hires the most unqualified, shittiest people like Kristi Noem and Markwayne Mullin and others (Hegseth, Bondi, Patel, Lutnick, Rubio, Witkoff, RFK Jr., etc...) for all of these top-level positions.  

It's because they are compromised, weak, and unprincipled individuals.  They are DonOld's "kind of people" - the kind whom he knows how to control and manipulate in to doing his own nefarious bidding.  In other words - they are dutiful stooge types - and  being a dutiful, no questions asking stooge is the only prerequisite for employment in a DonOld Drumpf regime.

An Open Window to the Nazi Virus Consuming What Remains of The Republican Party

When Drumpf came along he gave license to every hateful, bigoted, racist, nazi-loving, America-hating piece of right wing shit to crawl out from under their rocks and become part of mainstream conservatism.

That strategy has worked out quite well for the racists, bigots and nazis in this country as this Miami Herald story details:

 

Link:  Leaked FIU chat reveals racism in Miami GOP ranks | Miami Herald

 

"The secretary of Miami-Dade County’s Republican Party started a group chat primarily for conservative students last fall — and within three weeks it was filled with racist slurs, someone wrote dozens of ways of violently killing Black people and the chat was renamed after what one member described as “Nazi heaven.” 

In WhatsApp conversations leaked to the Miami Herald, participants used variations of the n-word more than 400 times, regularly described women as “whores,” used slurs to talk about Jewish and gay people and mused about Hitler’s politics.

Interspersed throughout were discussions about events promoting the Republican Party at Florida International University. The school told the Herald the chat logs are part of an ongoing criminal investigation. 

The conversations included some of the campus’ top conservative leaders: the county GOP secretary, FIU’s Turning Point USA chapter president and the former College Republicans recruitment chair. 

The group chat — verified by two people in the group — reveals the extent of racism and extremism within the highest ranks of campus Republican Party leadership in Miami at a time Florida’s Republicans are reckoning with an increasingly emboldened far right."

Still think that American Nazis who are being "influenced" and funded by foreign, America-hating actors haven't hijacked the Republican party?

Well they have.  And they call themselves MAGA.

MAGA demonstrate their affinity for Nazism and fascism to us all on a daily basis in this country.  At some point, as this nation's own past history has shown, these home-grown Nazis will have to be confronted with force by better people in our own society.  Sadly, if past history is any indication, brutal force is the only thing Nazis seem to understand.

These Nazi-adjacent Republicans are playing with fire.  They clearly have forgotten the past lessons of what inevitably happens to Nazis once their power wanes and their Nazi leaders are vanquished.

A lot of these Nazi-friendly, MAGA groupies have some difficult, lesson-learning events on their horizons and most are oblivious to it.

American Voter's Boots Need To Boot Drumpf and Republicans From Office

American "boots on the ground" would happen only because Israel's leader, who is currently under criminal indictment in his own country AND is also a UN wanted war criminal, told a dementia-addled Drumpf that it was a smart and dandy idea to help Israel go to war with Iran.

 

 

Link:  Experts erupt as White House won't rule out Iran boots on ground: 'That is on the table' - Raw Story

 

"The White House caused a social media stir on Wednesday by leaving the door open to a ground invasion of Iran.

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stopped short of ruling out ground troops during the first briefing since the military campaign launched.

"I know there's many leaders in the past who like to take options off of the table without having a full understanding of how things could develop. So again, it's not part of the current plan, but I'm not going to remove an option for the president that is on the table," Leavitt said.""

  

And should those American boots hit the ground in Tehran and the American casualties start coming home in body bags, I don't want to hear a fucking word from the people who elected the individual that made it happen.

As stated in a prior post - this will be Drumpf's and MAGA's war.  They own it lock, stock and barrel and a clear majority of Americans do NOT want our nation involved in it.

And make no mistake here - the rejection of the Drumpf/MAGA Iran war does not in any way suggest antagonism toward our American troops.  I believe as citizens we demonstrate the best of our American values by working to ensure that our brave men and women in uniform are kept OUT of foreign wars of choice that are started by corrupt, self-dealing, tinhorn despots like DonOld Drumpf and Benjamin Netanyahu.  I can't state it any clearer than that.

If Lying the Country Into War Isn't an Impeachable Offense, What Is?

Wow.  So much to unpack in just a 30 second video clip of the lying mobster:

 

 

Link:  Post by @atrupar.com — Bluesky

 

Drumpf today: 

"If we didn't hit within 2 weeks, they would've had a nuclear weapon. When crazy people have nuclear weapons bad things happen." 

 

But wait.  Weren't Iran's nuclear capabilities "completely and totally obliterated" by DonOld this past June when he bombed them the first time?  Yeah - a lot of you forgot that this is the second bombing Drumpf has launched against Iran in his first fourteen execrable months back in office, huh?

But yes!  Yes indeed, Iran's nuclear capabilities were "completely and totally obliterated" because The Great and Powerful Drumpf told us so and bragged about it on social media.

And now our "stable genius," and "wartime President" DonOld Drumpf has "completely and totally obliterated" America's standing and measure of respect in the world's eyes with his lies and and subservience to Israel's interests.

Here's video of The Great and Powerful Drumpf bragging about having "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear capabilities just eight months ago:

Yet now he is claiming that he had no choice to bomb Iran this weekend because the Iranians were on the verge of using their "completely and totally obliterated" nuclear facilities to attack the United states?

Who does he think he's conning? 

He's a lying sack of shit.  In fact, his own Pentagon said so:

This is Drumpf's and MAGA's war going forward.  They own all the bad shit that is assuredly going to come from it.

Spain Tells Drumpf to Shove His Iran War - Drumpf Summarily Threatens Spain

So, if you haven't heard - as Drumpf and Israel's indicted criminal leader Benjamin Netanyahu rolled out their new Mid-East war with Iran over the weekend, Drumpf started tapping US NATO allies like Spain on the shoulder to demand, not ask, that the US be allowed to use Spanish air bases to launch attacks from, essentially dragging Spain into the conflict as well whether they wish it or not.

Initially Spain rejected the request, with Spain's Prime Minister stating unequivocally that the joint US/Israel bombing attack on Iran was both, "reckless and illegal."

Drumpf, being the fucking mobster he is, then openly threatened to halt ALL trade with Spain, essentially threatening our European ally's economy for refusing to support the war started by him and his butt buddy Netanyahu:

 

 

 

Link:  White House says Spain has agreed to cooperate but Madrid denies | Reuters

 

"WASHINGTON, March 4 (Reuters) - The White House said on Wednesday that Spain has agreed to cooperate with the U.S. military after ​President Donald Trump threatened to cut off trade, but Spain denied ‌making such a deal.

Trump on Tuesday had vowed to sever trade with Madrid over its stance against the U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran. Asked about the issue on Wednesday, White ​House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said she had been told that ​Spain had relented.

Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares denied Spain had made such an agreement.

"I categorically deny it. I heard about these statements on my way here, and I've had time ​to look into them and listen to them a little," Albares told ​Spanish radio station Cadena Ser.

"The Spanish government's position on the war in the Middle East ‌and ⁠the bombing of Iran regarding the use of our bases has not changed at all. Therefore, I categorically and sincerely deny it. I have no idea what this could refer to or where it could have come from."

Trump ​floated imposing a trade ​embargo on ⁠Madrid over its refusal to allow U.S. aircraft to use jointly operated naval and air bases in southern Spain for ​the offensive against Tehran. Spain has denounced the U.S. ​and Israeli ⁠bombings of Iran as reckless and illegal.

Spain "will not be vassals" to another country, Deputy Prime Minister Maria Jesus Montero said on Wednesday. In a televised address earlier, ⁠Prime ​Minister Pedro Sanchez reiterated Spain's anti-war stance, warning ​that the conflict risked triggering a major global disaster."

Basically, Spain, an American NATO allied country, has told the President of the United States of America to take his "reckless and illegal" war in Europe's backyard and go fuck himself.

And now Drumpf and his apparatchiks are apparently spreading lies about the Spanish response and threatening a trade embargo against Spain, which of course would decimate the Spanish economy and likely cause a deleterious ripple effect that would most certainly impact the economic stability of the entire European Union.

What an embarrassing clusterfuck Drumpf has gotten us ALL into.  And it's all because he and a bunch of his sicko pedo friends refuse to be held accountable for their having raped children, and believe that starting World War III is a big enough distraction to allow them all to escape accountability for their vile crimes.

Make no mistake about it.  This war not only belongs to Drumpf and Israel, it's also MAGA's war.  They are just as much to blame as their diaper-shitting, kiddie diddling, treasonous felon cult hero who is illegally squatting in the American people's White House.

Khamenei Jr. Is the Big Winner in Drumpf and Bibi's Iran Fireworks Show

Drumpf allowed Israel to drag the US to war against one of the largest countries in the Arab world, assassinating the top echelon of Iranian leadership, including Iran's powerful religious head and "Supreme Leader" Ayatollah Khameini.

And what is the end result of Drumpf's devotion to the machinations of Israel and Netanyahu?  

A mini-Ayatollah Khameini!  Yay!!

This is what happens when you allow poorly educated, venal and devious men with the intellects and egos of spoiled children to run your country and start wars of choice:

History is replete with examples of small-minded, unprincipled assholes like Drumpf and Netanyahu waging wars of choice in vain pursuit of regime glory and personal gain.  Drumpf is no different:

 

Link:  https://www.ft.com/content/b71ef4e2-d008-49fd-99f8-3c89fdab0d9f

 

So essentially, Drumpf is throwing away American blood and treasure just to see Iran emerge with the same type of leadership they've had for the past five decades, only a younger version.

It's a colossal failure of leadership and moral values-based governing, but sadly the American people's congress is beholden to a bunch of brain-dead MAGA politicians who would rather act more like fan club groupies of our compromised and degenerate POTUS than serious, honorable adults elected to responsibly govern a nation of 330 million people.

At this stage, it's not at all difficult to say that Americans are deserving of the shitty leaders they blindly elect, as well as the bad times those shitty leaders bring to our country and society.

♫ And Iran, Iran so Far Away, Couldn't Get Away... ♫

Lol.  These lying sacks of Trumpublican shit:

They had no evacuation plan in place.  That much is clear.

And this is how they respond when confronted with the dichotomy between reality on the ground for Americans and other foreigners stuck in the Middle East, and the circus of knife juggling squirrels emanating from the brain of the so-called 'leader of the free world':

Oh FFS Marco . . . sigh. . .

And who exactly is responsible for all of those airspace closures, you gaslighting little shithead??

Could it possibly be because Drumpf and his fellow criminally-indicted butt buddy in Israel, Netanyahu, told absolutely nobody they were going to start a Mid-East bombing war in the middle of the night on a Friday night?

These assholes.

Sadly, this Iran debacle is only going to spiral even further out of control which is exactly what you would expect in a war run by clowns like Drumpf and Pete Kegsbreath, who in less than 24 hours of engagement has managed to shoot down three of our own fighter jets and get half a dozen soldiers in an unprotected military admin building killed.

No, these Drumpf numbskulls had no plan other than to do what Bibi Netanyahu and the meddling fucking Saudis told demented DonOld to do, and now the reaping of their own sowing begins.

'Operation Epstein Files Fury' Racks Up More US Casualties

But it's not a "war" according to MAGA Republicans.

It's just Drumpf's "stable genius" way of 'ending' a war.

"The United States Central Command announced that the death toll of service members in Operation Epic Fury had risen to six as of Monday afternoon.

"As of 4 pm ET, March 2, six U.S. service members have been killed in action. U.S. forces recently recovered the remains of two previously unaccounted for service members from a facility that was struck during Iran's initial attacks in the region," CENTCOM said in a statement. "Major combat operations continue. The identities of the fallen are being withheld until 24 hours after next of kin notification.""  

  

Republicans like Markwayne Mullin can go tell the families whose son, daughter, father, mother, husband, or wife is coming home in a body bag that their loved one didn't die in a war.

Tell them that they died as glorious servants in The Great and Powerful Drumpf's 'Operation Epstein Files Fury' campaign and should be proud of their loved one's sacrifice for the glory of dear leader's exalted ego and whatever 💲$💲 deals he struck up with the Saudis and Israelis.

See how well that goes over.
