U.S.—Progressive activists across the country have begun calling on African Americans to quit their jobs in order to avoid being used as a Trump statistic.

White liberals generally like when minorities get hired, but they've begun to grow concerned with just how many black people are working under the Trump economy.

"If you really cared about the cause, you'd quit and become homeless so we could tell everyone how bad Trump's economy is for black people," communist activist Pau Jamm told his only black friend in a Portland coffee shop Wednesday. "You guys are really killing us here with how much you're working."

Some committed progressives are even firing black people in order to show just how bad the economy is for minorities. Austin woman Britney Baila sat down one of her employees, black man Henry Porter, to let him know that he was being fired for his own good. "Listen, you're doing great -- you've been a valued part of this organization for several years now. But you're just not helping the narrative that Trump is harming minority workers."

I think I predicted them with my "The Horses Ass Network"(T.H.A.N.) series I posted about 10 years ago.

You may remember such titles as "Dude where's your hybrid?" and "City can't afford the IT overhead of Traffic Light cameras."
And "Bio Fuel Grease pit fight."

Unadulterated bullshit.

Trump Cucks on Patrick.net: "Some right wing media outlet is reporting there was this one singe left wing moron that said some stupid shit."

"Therefore this is what most of the liberals are doing or thinking now"

I find it interesting that you guys always have to resort to that kind of shit, to find criticism of the left. It's always a straw man or some one off nonsensical bullshit.

Literally nobody is doing this, and I even think you fucking know that.

It makes you every bit as much a liar as Great Leader. Which I'm sure gives you a warm fuzzy feeling.

I'm thinking this is a planted story, done as a sort of back door way of bragging about something that isn't even true,.

"THATS RIGHT FOLKS - THE IMPROVEMENT IN EMPLOYMENT SITUATION FOR MINORITIES IS SO GREAT THAT LIBERALS ARE ACTUALLY FREAKING OUT AND ASKING AFRICAN AMERICANS TO QUIT AND OR FIRING THEM BECAUSE OTHERWISE GREAT LEADER WILL BE SEEN FOR BEING THE MESSIAH THAT HE TRULY IS."

You can't handle the truth




President Donald Trump rattled off several false claims in his Nov. 12 speech to the Economic Club of New York, in which he contrasted the supposedly “bleak” outlook at the end of his predecessor’s term with an exaggerated portrayal of the economy’s strong performance during his own tenure.

He said that when he was running for president in 2016 “America was stuck in a failed recovery and saddled with a bleak economic future. And it was bleak.” But as we wrote at the time he took office, “President Trump actually inherits an economy experiencing steady if unspectacular growth in output, jobs and incomes.” We noted that the economy had added 2.2 million jobs in the 12 months before Trump took office. That was later revised upward to nearly 2.5 million.

In his speech, Trump said: “Under the last administration, nearly 200,000 manufacturing jobs had been lost.” That’s true enough; the loss was 193,000. But the number of manufacturing jobs had increased by more than 900,000 between the low point early in Barack Obama’s first term and the time Trump took office. And Trump failed to mention that total employment grew by 11.6 million under Obama.

Trump claimed that under Obama, “almost 5 million more Americans had left the labor force.” Not true. In fact, the civilian labor force grew by nearly 5.5 million under Obama.

The president said that “jobs were not exactly what you would call plentiful” under Obama. That’s also far from true. In March 2016 the number of unfilled job openings hit 6.1 million, the highest in the more than 15 years records had been kept. And when Trump took office, the number of unfilled jobs was still 5.6 million.

Trump said that in 2016, “the Department of Labor predicted that Americans would continue dropping out of the workforce in record numbers.” But that’s another falsehood. The Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics projection for 2016-2028 (actually issued in December 2015) was that the labor force would continue to grow — though at a slower pace because the population was aging and many were reaching retirement age.

BLS said then: “The labor force is anticipated to grow by 7.9 million, reflecting an average annual growth rate of 0.5 percent, over the 2014–24 period.” And despite Trump’s bragging, that outlook for 0.5% growth hasn’t changed. The most recent BLS 10-year projection says: “The labor force is projected to increase at an annual rate of 0.5 percent from 2018 to 2028.”

Trump said that before he took office, “[T]hey expected unemployment over 5% — and, really, 6, 7, and even, in some cases, 8% — for many years to come.” Not so. The Congressional Budget Office projected in August 2016 that unemployment would fall to 4.5% in 2017, and wouldn’t exceed 5% for the following decade.

That was in line with most economic forecasts. The median projection issued Dec. 14, 2016, by Federal Reserve Board members and Federal Reserve Bank presidents was for a 4.5% unemployment rate in 2017, 2018 and 2019. And of 50 economists who offered a projection of the unemployment rate in the Wall Street Journal’s economic survey in November 2016, the average expectation was for a 4.6% unemployment rate in December 2018. Only two of the respondents thought the rate would be over 5%.

Trump claimed in his speech that “my administration has created nearly 7 million jobs, and going up rapidly.” This is exaggerated. Total employment has gone up by 6.25 million since Trump took office, well short of 7 million. As for “going up rapidly,” the average monthly gain for the most recent 12 months has been 174,000. That’s actually slower growth than during the 12 months before Trump took office, when the average monthly job gain was 207,000.

It’s true that job gains under Trump have exceeded what economists expected in 2016, but not by as much as he claimed in his speech. He said that “before I took office, the Congressional Budget Office projected that fewer than 2 million jobs would be created by this time in 2019.” And indeed, CBO’s 10-year economic projection in August 2016 was that total nonfarm employment would be 1.9 million higher in the fourth quarter of 2019 than in the fourth quarter of 2016. But Trump fails to note that CBO had revised that estimate upward just as he was taking office. On Jan. 24, 2017, it projected that the job gain would be 3.3 million.

So Trump would be justified in saying that during his tenure so far the economy produced nearly twice as many jobs as CBO predicted at the time he took office. But he was wrong to claim in his speech that the gain “beat predictions more than three times.”

Trump said: “Last year, GDP growth matched the fastest rate in more than a decade.” That’s true enough. In 2018, real (inflation-adjusted) gross domestic product increased by 2.9% over the previous year, matching the 2.9% growth in 2015, the only other time in the past 10 years growth has been that high. But growth has slowed since then to an annual rate of 1.9% in the third quarter of this year. And of course, Trump had promised to do better than merely matching the best year of Obama’s presidency. He repeatedly promised growth of 4% to 6% per year, both when he was a candidate and also as president. (marcus note: even with trillion dollar deficits he can't do it)

Trump repeated one of his favorite talking points, claiming that median household income has gone up $5,000 during his time. But as we reported earlier, that’s a shaky claim based on estimates produced from a survey that isn’t designed to measure income. The Census Bureau’s measure of median household income increased $1,400 (after adjusting for inflation), or 2.3%, during Trump’s first two years in office. Indications are that the figure has risen further during 2019, but by how much won’t be known until September 2020, when Census is due to release the 2019 figure.

There’s no question the economy has been strong since Trump took office, but it was also strong before he took office, a fact he continues to distort as he falsely puffs up his own record.


How many Trump outright lies in that speech ? Wtf ? Oh, yeah, you guy thrive on lies, I almost forgot. If it's true, you guys aren't interested.

Omg! This thread is even better than the one where I announced I’d seen the light and “confessed” my disdain for President Trump.....

On April 1st :)

Marcus, you do realize that "Babylon Bee" is like Mad Magazine, right? It has satire based on fact (in this case, that liberals resent Black economic progress under Trump, and exaggerates that Liberals would fire Blacks to keep the narrative) , but Babylon Bee should not be taken any more serous than something like Snopes.

You mean, the onion ?

Yeah, I forgot about Babylon Bee. Besides, it was so much in keeping with the kind of stuff NoCoup constantly posts.

Didn't seem the slightest bit out of line for something that he would think is totally true or that he wanted everyone else to think was true.

A lot of right wing media (and especially the stuff that gets shared here) isn't that far from this.

Oh he should be feeling shame, just not for what he said. Bet he’s feeling a bit owned now!
Now I feel a little vicarious... nope, wait, I think that was indigestion.
*burp*
And I’m good!
