Still above 25k. I won't start to worry until it gets below 20k. That is when shit will hit the fan.

Unemployment reached another 50-year low in September, as the economy added 136,000 jobs, according to the new Labor Department report. First, the overall data from CNBC:

  • “The jobless rate dropped 0.2 percentage points to 3.5%, matching a level it last saw in December 1969.”
  • “A more encompassing measure that includes discouraged workers and the underemployed also fell, declining 0.3 percent points to 6.9%, matching its lowest in nearly 19 years and just off the all-time low of 6.8%.”

Bloomberg News almost handled his death worse than WaPO. It’s hard to make an argument that the media is legitimate after how they reacted to Baghdadi being killed.

Trump really is a cause of mental illness.  The Dems and their media surrogates are so determined to get rid of Trump that they refuse to give him credit for anything, or acknowledge anything he's done that's good.  That's how you end-up with that spin on Baghdadi.

Or like when he met with Kardashian about that pardon and criminal justice reform...some of the coverage deflected from that by focusing on "how dare she work with that racist Trump".

Was he also “dead as a door nail”?  Hahaha

Trump supporters are lapping up his descriptions of these killings.  I believe he will easily be re-elected.

Great news for the country that the terrorist is dead. I was actually ok with Trump's messaging. It may have seen harsh, but Baghdadi was like a dog. The Post's initial headline deserves all the blasting it did receive. I thought it was a fake headline, then saw it and though oh, that's fucked up. 

I doubt this moves the needle for Trump, as it did not for Obama when Bid Laden was killed. There is simply too many other things going on, and the election is a year away for this to stick and matter to voters. 

Also, how screwed up is Trump's Syria policy? Let me just give up the Kurds to the Turks and Russians forcing them to ally with Assad. Even some Rs are having a lot of problems with it. 

The far greater stuff is the news and continued coming forward of witnesses to testify how fucked up the Ukraine situation is. Trump will be impeached by the House, little doubt now, and the Senate trial will be interesting. He will be acquitted, but the Senate R's are not standing by the President by any measure.

So let me get this straight.  We are in an official defense alliance with the Turks to protect them from the Russians.  The Kurds and Turks hate each other.  The Russians are allied with Assad and now the Kurds are also allied with Assad.   But we are giving up the Kurds to the Turks and Russia.  Who wants their son to die in this shitty mess.

Not I, which is why I'd prefer we not be in "entangling alliances" in the first place.

Do we not already know what was in the call? Highly doubt a bombshell is waiting to be uncovered.

Not exactly correct. Yes, Turkey is an ally, but they have been a shitty one recently. They are actually moving closer to Russia Once the U.S. vacated the area in northern Syria, Turkey made a deal with the Russians to take over that northern area of Syria that was home to the Kurds. Turkey is pretty clear they want to eliminate all Kurds. So, by us leaving...we just gave them the green light to do that...

Turkey is also pretty close to buying the Russian S400 missile defense system. They country has also pretty much thrown out any function of a democracy recently. All in all, in a normal administration, they would be seriously be considered being thrown out of NATO. 

On the Kurds, it was them, not the Turks, that we have been fighting side by side against ISIS the last few years, and going back even further to the Iraq war years. They have been a hell of a reliable ally in that time, way more so than the Turks in that time. Trump had it reversed, what has Turkey done for us recently? 

So, we basically sold out our alliance with the Kurds and gave them up to the Turks and Russians. Why the hell would any country now trust us to stay in the fight? We just cut and run.

I guess you have no problem with career civil servants, members of the military, and ambassadors stating what was said on the call was unnerving and not right? Pretty much everything the whistle blower said has been collaborated with the testimony over the last few days.

The Speaker has the votes and even the Ds in Trump District are in now favor of impeachment. Also, a majority of Americans are in favor of the impeachment process.

I see ptown is still taking the 2nd hand knowledge of a "whistle blower" over the actual transcript of the call.

Oh you mean the transcript where the President sought a foreign power to investigate a political rival? A call that was so screwed up, several officials have now come forward saying the call was inappropriate and outside the norm, which validates all the concerns laid out by the whistleblower.
