Contract Tracing jobs in my state were paying 21.28/hour if you could get past the screening test and training. My son passed all the gates but never got the final callback.

So Trump is counting jobs he's also refusing to fund?:boggled:

Of course? I admit to wondering why this is even a question, though, for two reasons. Trump (and the federal government in general) don't normally fund the counted jobs in the first place, first of all, and second, this is Trump that we're talking about, so he'd fairly certainly do that anyways or just make up a number that he liked and spout it off.
 
Trump just claimed the record for the most new jobs ever created in three months. These weren't fricking NEW jobs, moron.

He's rambling on about vets can now get treatment for 'blindness in both eyes". Specifically, "both" eyes. What? They could only get treatment for blindness in one eye before?

Attacking Dem governors again. Attacking Pelosi and Schumer. Shock. Attacking China "You can call it so many things" Virus". Dems want to increase voter fraud and steal election. We've never seen anything like this. Fake news. Ballot harvesting. Democrat party operatives signing ballots. Horrible. Stimulus checks for illegal aliens. Added miles for Border Wall. Sleepy Joe wants open borders. Dems want mass release of serious felons.

This guy is freaking NUTS.

To quibble with this slightly and very likely unnecessarily - those new contact tracers look like new jobs to me.

Not to digress, but that sounds like a truly awful job. Spending your days either calling strangers with positive tests to ask them to name everybody they've been around in the last two weeks, or to tell them that somebody else they've been around is infected with a deadly disease. Working as a 911 dispatcher is probably less stressful.

Word on the wire is that trump is planning to use EO's to get Covid relief through.

Edit: Literally came in as I was typing:
Speaking at a news conference from his private golf club in the leafy New Jersey hamlet of Bedminster, the US president said the directives will extend federal unemployment benefits, defer payroll tax through the end of 2020 (“most likely” retroactive to 1 July), defer and forgive interest on student loans and extend moratoriums on evictions, defer student loan payments and extend the federal moratorium on evictions.

Payroll tax cut for those making less than 110K per year. That only helps people with a job. How does that help the unemployed who REALLY need help?

Said cuts would be permanent if re-elected. He's making this an election campaign rally. What else is freaking new?

The budget for that position is there, but the budget for the HR personnel to select candidates was caught up in committee and they are currently furloughed...
 
Trump again lied about signing the Veterans' Choice Act. Obama did that. When a reporter challenged him about that, he cut her off and left. He has repeatedly lied about being the one to get that through. What he did was sign an expansion of the VC Act but he continues to take credit for the full VC Act. Such a pathological liar.

He also lied about 'everyone' wanting the payroll tax cut. There is bi-partisan opposition to it. He just blatantly lies about everything.

Oww. He's gone from trying to undo Obama's legacy to taking responsibility for Obama's accomplishments? That has to hurt :D !

He's going to personally see that pre-existing conditions are covered by insurance. As required by Obamacare.

A few months back he was saying that the Dems wanted to get rid of of coverage for pre-existing conditions, but that he was fighting for it.

Maybe we can get the March Hare and Mad Hatter to be debate moderators. I mean they’d be good choices now that we’ve spent so much time on the other side of the Looking Glass.
 
As if it wasn't blatant enough already...

It has been reported that Louis DeJoy, the current Postmaster General under the Donald Trump administration, has floated a proposal to increase the price of postage for mail-in ballots from 20 cents to 55 cents. This is important not only because of the financial impact the increase could have on states and their voters, but also because it calls attention to the proposed spike in postage as a potentially unconstitutional poll tax.

The White House Has ‘Asked About the Process to Add a President to Mount Rushmore’

According an article out in today’s New York Times about South Dakota’s governor Kristi Noem, the subject has been raised between the Trump White House and South Dakota:

After all, the president had told her in the Oval Office that he aspired to have his image etched on the monument. And last year, a White House aide reached out to the governor’s office with a question, according to a Republican official familiar with the conversation: What’s the process to add additional presidents to Mount Rushmore?

How is this not extortion? Here's some money - you have to pay it back if you don't re-elect me?
 
Trump Tweets

Sleepy Joe Biden just agreed with the Radical Left Democrats to raise Taxes by Three Trillion Dollars. Everyone will pay - Will kill your Stocks, 401k’s, and the ECONOMY. BIG CRASH! #MAGA

Gee, I wonder which president he has in mind :rolleyes: .

Even Trump isn't that... I can't even finish that sentence.

But I do wonder if he really does mean himself. Isn't he on record as considering Jackson and Lincoln as his two faves, and I mean Lincoln is already on there. Floating the idea of putting Jackson on Rushmore is exactly the kind of trolling that gives Trump a stiffie.

I'll take it. Still won't vote for him. I'm sure he's going to pretend he gave us all money the Democrats refused to. Makes me wonder if this wasn't orchestrated by McConnell/Trump.

It does sound like something designed to get his numbers back up.
