Fox Biz Claims Trump Lead In Early Polls Explains Great Jobs Report

The March jobs report blew away expectations by adding over 300,000 jobs for the month which caused Trump's former advisor Stephen Moore to find a way to credit Trump with the economy over President Biden.

Maria Bartiromo's seven squares of pundits tried to figure out how to downplay President Biden's strong economic growth and job creation and Stephen Moore came up with a bizarre take. He claimed that since Biden wants to raise taxes to normal levels the Dow, S&P500, NASDAQ and Russel 2K are responding to the early polls and are hiring people they don't need. Something like that. it's hard to decipher MAGA madness all the time.

I just wonder if maybe the market is pricing in a little bit, you know, and employers too, the idea that maybe we're going to get a new president in November.

We'll see.

Does that work into your looking at markets, the idea that we could see policy changes next year?

What do you think, Bob Dahl?

Yeah, it has to.

The policy differentials between these two guys is pretty significant, and I agree with all Steve has said.

As if corporate America would use early polls to decide their hiring practices seven month before the election.

Dems Hilariously Respond To GOPers Wanting To Name Airport After Trump

Can you imagine any elected official wanting to name an airport after Richard Nixon after his crimes were exposed? Welp, House Republicans have introduced legislation to rename Washington Dulles International Airport after twice-impeached multiply-indicted former president Donald Trump. Oh, and he was found liable for sexual abuse, so let's name an airport after him. So many important issues are going on, but they are more concerned with massaging Lumpy's ego.

Via The Washington Post:

The bill was filed Friday by Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (R-Pa.), with six Republican co-sponsors: Reps. Andrew Ogles and Chuck Fleischmann of Tennessee, Michael Waltz of Florida, Paul A. Gosar of Arizona, Barry Moore of Alabama, and Troy E. Nehls of Texas.

The measure would change the airport's name, about 25 miles west of D.C., to Donald J. Trump International Airport. Any reference to the airport on maps, documents, papers or other government records to the airport "shall be considered to be a reference to the Donald J. Trump International Airport," according to the two-page bill text.

These are not serious people. Most of us want to show our bosses that we've earned our paychecks by working hard, but that's not the case with most Republicans these days. They are doing the opposite of that. They are not paid to kiss Lumpy's ass.

The Orange Aberration Is Now Targeting The Judge's Wife

Stable Genius Donald Trump has already broken the recently expanded gag order in the hush money criminal case the former President faces. The twice-impeached orange menace appears to be deliberately defying the gag order. This time, though, he not only targeted Judge Merchan's daughter on Truth Social by sharing a LOL "article" by MAGA weirdo Laura Loomer, but he went after his wife, too.

Merchan expanded the order to include family members of the court as well as prosecutors' families after Lumpy targeted the Judge's family members. Who the fuck goes after the wife and daughter of a judge? It's like he really wants to piss him off.

On Wednesday, the bonded-out Donald Trump shared articles by Loomer to attack Merchan's wife and daughter in two Truth Social posts. 

Trump is trying to claim that Merchan's wife is biased, which he believes would disqualify Merchan. OK, so to put this in perspective, I'm the only Democrat in my family, so since there is a MAGA side of my family, that means that I'm a Trump supporter. I can't stop laughing. I fucking hate that delicate manlet. His thinking to disqualify the Judge is flawed, and attacking a man's wife and daughter isn't going to help Trump's case. 

I'm not even going to quote Loomer's "articles" to highlight Trump's attacks on the Judge's family members because fuck her. Trump has done this before, but without targeting the Judge's wife.
