CNN on the last jobs report before the midterms: "It came in cold -- surprisingly cold. Job growth weaker than expected, unemployment unexpectedly went up, and paychecks aren't keeping up with prices. This was disappointing all around."

Trump & Republicans inherited an improving economy and drove it straight into a ditch. September: 29,000 jobs instead of the expected 90,000. Another 60,000 jobs vanished in revisions. Wages rose 0.1%; the worst in 5 years. They broke it. Make them own every ugly number at the ballot box.

You’d think that someone who is clearly in such bad health and who purports to believe in Christianity would have more concern for the fact that his interview with his maker would result in a big fat fail for him Of course I doubt he has any religious beliefs except in himself and 💰 as his religion

It feels like one of life's final ironies that, if there is a god, it will be those who talk the most about Christianity & use it to control others who are most likely to go to the Hell they're so scared of. I mean, if there is a God, Trump and his kind must surely know that they are going to Hell.
