Folks in my timeline telling me that the economy feels like 2008 is an indicator that people are trapped in fact-free political bubbles.

Some remarkable internals. Black unemployment still too high, but when was the last time it was below 9 percent? twitter.com/dchometownboy/…

If someone like this

Send him to me. I will make a dog out of him.

Thanks Chips, for this positive, uplifting JOBS thread!!! Thanks for front-paging some of the best tweets on today’s exciting report. 🙂
I will note that #jobsreport is now the number 2 trend on Twitter when it hasn’t trended this high (or at all) in many, many months.
Paging hillz. Your talking points right here.
You got that right! ^5
There might not have been a super-empowered emergency manager at all in Flint if a 2012 referendum had been allowed to stand.
Any celebration was short-lived. A few weeks later, the legislature took up a bill to simply replace the repealed emergency manager law with a new, very similar one…And the legislature attached a small budget appropriation to the new law, which made it impervious to referendum.
…instead of fighting the referendum when it was before the voters, its opponents simply overruled it. Snyder, whose office did not respond to a request for comment, signed the replacement law on Dec. 27, 2012. Less than four months later, Flint’s emergency manager signed an agreement moving the city into the new water system. Three months after that, he settled on the Flint River as the interim source.
YOU KNOW..I INTERVIEWED GRETCHEN OSTER ONCE…THEY DON’T HAVE AN OSTER APPLIANCE IN THEIR HOUSE…YES..MYSELF AND BENGAY ARE TAKING ANOTHER RIDE TODAY BUT NOT DOING MUCH…RESTING…AND I AM GLAD PBO HAS NO PUBLIC EVENTS TODAY..PERSONALLY..I CATEGORIZE A PUBLIC EVENT AS MANURE ON THE STREET..OH MY WE CERTAINLY HAVE ENOUGH OF THAT GOING ON AND PBO DOES NOT NEED TO EXPOSE HIMSELF TO THAT ON A DAILY BASIS…I LOVE MY ENERGIZER PRESIDENT!..ADIOS AMIGOS!

Cicely Tyson on House of Cards?
Really?
…………………
Who Is Doris Jones On ‘House of Cards’ Season 4? Cicely Tyson Will Go Toe-To-Toe With Claire Underwood
KELLY SCHREMPH
Just when you think a show can’t possibly get anymore star power than it already has, you find out that the legendary Cicely Tyson has joined the cast of House of Cards Season 4. And while you’ve undoubtedly seen her praise-worthy acting talents throughout the years, this is absolutely going to be one role of hers you won’t want to miss. Why is that, you may ask? Because she’ll be going toe-to-toe with Claire Underwood herself. Portraying the part of Texas congresswoman Doris Jones, Tyson will give what’s sure to be a memorable performance while tackling from very real and poignant issues regarding race and class.
I LOVE JUSTIN WOLFERS. That is all.
He has a sexy brain, that’s for sure! 😀
Exactly! And I love that he’s married to Betsey Stevenson, who serves on PBO’s Council of Economic Advisors. YAY nerdy family!!
Sexy Nerds Rule! 🙂
esscuse me… hullo. this is a family blog, missy.
Chill Dude, we’re talking about brains. Oops, you missed that part. 🤓😏

Everyone, this really is a HUGE breakthrough! Ladyhawke posted it on the previous thread.
I tweaked the headline to pull out an important fact that shows once again what an outstanding President we have in Barack Obama.
This is reason number 999,999 why elections matter.
The truce broadly holding in Syria will create momentum behind peace talks, major European powers say.
The leaders of Russia, Germany, France, Italy and the UK had a telephone conversation on Friday after which they agreed to use the “positive dynamic”, said the office of UK PM David Cameron.
EU countries asked Russia to exert influence over Syria’s government to respect the truce, Germany said.
Scattered attacks have not threatened the truce, which began last Saturday.
However, both the opposition and the government have accused each other of violating the cessation of hostilities agreement brokered by the US and Russia.
The truce does not include the jihadist groups Islamic State (IS) and al-Nusra Front.
UN special envoy Staffan de Mistura says he plans to reconvene talks aimed at ending the five-year conflict in Syria next Wednesday, with their format flexible to enable some parties to turn up days later.

My mom would take a bite or two off Dad’s piece – whether he wanted her to or not! 😄
My mom would have cut the other slices thinner to make sure she got her share.
… after eating half of Dad’s slice, my mom would tell him he needs to go to the store for more pie. Then call him while he’s on the road with a list of 20 more items. 😀
Right there!
😀 😀 😀
During the Depression years, my Mom would see her Mother not eating much, so her husband and kids could eat (if my Grandfather was between jobs as a coal miner). My Mother swore she’d never let her kids see that, which we learned when we were adults. Now, my Mother was the queen of eating desserts and we always teased her about it, so I’m thinking she’d take a bit off your Dad’s piece of pie, too! #SorryNotSorry 🙂
LOL.
😀 😀 😀
OOoooof.
Of course he would. Webb has been waving the Confederate flag and warning about the evils of inclusion since day one. Pursue the white working class. That’s the only thing that counts.
Creepy dude who reminded everyone in Dem debate that he’s killed people announces he’d vote for creepy guy who brags he’d keep his supporters even if he shot someone in Time Square.
They’re made for each other.
just like hillary supporters in 2008 against president obama:
Jim Weber was also a “former” Republican also too. Just like BS he only ran as a Democrat was because GWB was such a failure people were not happy with the GOP. JW is just another opportunist just like IL DOUCHE.
😄
LOL!! Girl you on it today!!
Haha! Thanks DerBingle!

LIVE NOW: Bernie Sanders rally at Southern Illinois University. – http://www.msnbc.com/shift/watch/live-sanders-rally-at-siu-637056067812
I’m sorry I don’t believe this
“On the eve of her 22-point loss to Bernie Sanders in New Hampshire, Hillary Clinton had been fretting about her strategy, questioning her staffing choices and generally flash-backing on her 2008 defeat.”
Fretting over losing a state 15 minutes from her opponent’s front door? Nice try Politico.
Didn’t they BOTH get 15 delegates each ?
There were reports that she was considering a staffing shake-up. You can factor in that Sanders was a lock on NH, the momentum concerns would have been real.
Reality …
#TrustBarack
back to work …
Happy Friday TODVille
84 years old! Creepy.
It’s not his age that makes him creepy.
Is this true?!?!? Yuck!
This made me think of that wonderful Lego Movie. Think I’ll watch it again this weekend.
