Yeah the last thing the mad king dictator should do is talk about other people's mental state.

A debate about mental fitness probably isn’t the best idea for Trump: Conservative columnist

With Trump sweating out his speed before he left you can bet he would be too jacked up to be able to watch what he was saying. And then wonder why people say he is racist and a white supremacist.

George Conway Demands Trump Get Tested for Mental Decline: ‘Ridiculous to Suggest that Nothing is Happening’

*I am not posting Conway's entire tweet thread but you should read it because OMG does he lay out multiple examples. The most damaging of which is a Trump interview from a few years ago where he is making perfect sense instead of just babbling along like a happy little brook. And someone(s) inside the White House has been leaking to the press that Trump's mental illness is out of cot of control and I would bet anything the main source is none other than Kellyanne.

This is not the most serious. I might post that later. The serious things are Trump just babbling incoherently for 90 minutes and repeating things and stories he told earlier in the rally but didn't remember it.

But still there's Trump standing there lying about something that anyone can see with their own eyes and take pictures of.

And this is actually pretty serious. Trump is losing his appeal.

#EmptySeatMAGATour: Internet hilariously mocks Trump for failing to sell out his campaign rallies

This is just one of many examples of people on TV and networks finally addressing Trump's mental illness. And for once they are looking at Trump's whole rally not just pieces of it that they try to make sense out of. And when they do there is Trump babbling incoherently unable to complete his sentences, spouting lies and delusions, and most concerning of all repeating things and stories near the end of the rally that he had already said earlier which he was unaware of. That is scaring the fuck out of a lot of people.

Shell Workers Had To Attend Trump Speech To Be Paid, Were Ordered Not To Protest: Report


Trump claims credit for Shell complex announced under Obama



Workers at a massive new Shell plant in Pennsylvania had to attend a speech by President Donald Trump there earlier this week to be paid — and were ordered not to protest, reported the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Attendance was not mandatory for thousands of union workers at Royal Dutch Shell’s petrochemical plant north of Pittsburgh, but they had to forfeit pay for the day if they skipped, according to attendance and comportment information obtained by the newspaper.

“Your attendance is not mandatory,” one manager told workers, summarizing a memo that Shell sent to union leaders, the Post-Gazette reported, but only those who showed up at 7 a.m., scanned their ID cards and prepared to stand for hours through lunch would be paid.

“No scan, no pay,” workers were warned.

In addition, workers who decided not to listen to the president’s speech reportedly would not be paid overtime rates routinely built in for extra time during the week.

The newspaper said that they were also told: “No yelling, shouting, protesting or anything viewed as resistance will be tolerated at the event. An underlying theme of the event is to promote good will from the unions. Your building trades leaders and jobs stewards have agreed to this.”

“This is just what Shell wanted to do and we went along with it,” Ken Broadbent, business manager for Steamfitters Local 449, told the newspaper. He said he wouldn’t “bad rap” the situation.

“We’re glad to have the jobs. We’re glad to have the project built,” he said. “The president is the president whether we like him or dislike him. We respect him for the title.”

The new $6 billion plant, which has been under construction since 2017, is an “ethane cracker” plant. It will “crack” ethane, a natural gas liquid found in some natural gas deposits, and turn it into plastic pellets to be used in various plastic products. The plant will produce over 1 million tons of plastic. Environmentalists and community groups complain that the operation will harm the region’s air quality and will increase carbon emissions and plastic pollution.

Trump took full credit for the plant in his speech, even though it was initially approved in June 2016, during the Obama administration, CNN reported.

“It was the Trump administration that made it possible,“ Trump told workers. “No one else. Without us, you would never have been able to do this.”

He also told workers: “I’m going to speak to some of your union leaders to say, ’I hope you’re going to support Trump. If they don’t, vote them the hell out of office because they’re not doing their job.”

Trump was supposed to stick to addressing energy in his speech, but it morphed into a full-blown, free-range campaign speech.

 

That's called the 'Shell' game ? I think.

And once again we see the mad king dictator too mentally ill to grasp the consequences of his own actions. The chairwoman of the Federal Election Commission sent Trump a letter last week demanding that he either provide proof of his claims of voter fraud in New Hampshire or stop making the claim Which of course triggers Trump to come up with even more outrageous lies because he believes himself a dictator and no laws apply to him. And he's just going to keep pushing until he finds out that actually federal election laws and our democracy does apply to him.

While at the same time proving once again he is literally and clinically mentally ill and unfit to serve as president. But now more and more people are starting to pay attention and its just not funny anymore.

Oh, you mean some report like despicables been waving around detailing how Russian interference gave Trump the white house.

Uh, how many votes did Russian interference cost Hillary again?

 

So do you Trump supporters believe Trump is the second coming of God and king of the Jews? Because I might do a search later to see if any of you ever accused Democrats of believing Obama was the Messiah.

Donald Trump Defends Trade War With China: ‘I Am the Chosen One’

US has half a million fewer jobs than believed after big government revision

The labor market seemed to defy gravity last year, generating more than 200,000 jobs a month despite a historically low unemployment rate that made it harder for employers to find workers.

Turns out job growth wasn’t as robust as it appeared.

The Labor Department revised down total job gains from April 2018 to March 2019 by 501,000, the agency said Wednesday, the largest downward revision in a decade.

The agency’s annual benchmark revision is based on state unemployment insurance records that reflect actual payrolls while its earlier estimates are derived from surveys. The preliminary figure could be revised further early next year.

The large change means job growth averaged 170,000 a month during the 12-month period, down from the 210,000 initially estimated, according to JPMorgan Chase.

Recession rumblings: A decade after the big one, what kind of recession will we have next?

Employment in several industries was revised down especially sharply. Payrolls dropped 175,000 in leisure and hospitality, and 146,000 in retail – two bellwether service sectors that depend heavily on consumer spending, the economy’s main engine.

Employment also fell by 163,000 in professional and business services and 69,000 in education and health services.

Some industries saw their job figures revised up modestly, with a gain of 33,000 in information – including movies, broadcasting, publishing, telecommunications and some technology services – and 20,000 in financial activities.

The revised payroll data is more in line with what economists had expected at the start of 2018 in light of the roughly 4% unemployment rate that signaled fewer available workers, and an aging population.

"The mystery was how the economy is continuing to get 200,000 jobs a month," says economist James Marple of TD economics. "It's less of a mystery now."

The new figures also could have political implications. President Donald Trump regularly touted last year's blockbuster job figures, which many economists traced to the federal tax cuts and spending increases he spearheaded. The economy did grow 2.9% last year, matching its best performance since the 2007-09 recession. But growth has slowed this year and the jobs revisions indicate the economy may have had less momentum than believed heading into 2019.

"It's a moderate economy," says Joe Naroff, chief economist of Naroff Economic Advisors. "It's not a strong economy."

Now, many economists are forecasting a recession by next year, largely because of Trump's trade war with China and a slowing global economy.
