Biden's 2024 State of the Union speech

[Tgo01]

CNN: Unemployment rate went up.
The government lied yet again about the job growth in both December and January and the number of jobs created during those 2 months were actually 167k less than the government lied about before.
Hourly earnings only went up by 0.1%, lower than the 0.3% predicated.
Wage growth slowed 4.3%.
Oh yeah, and for the 25th consecutive month the unemployment rate has been below 4%, the longest stretch in 50 years.

Seran's takeaway: Best economy in 50 years!

So literally the only positive you could get from this article is also the most useless statistic ever dreamed up by any government in history.

US government: We had 10,000,000 unemployed Americans in the month of March, let's start calling people up and see how many are unemployed in April.
US government: "Hello sir, do you have a job? No? Well are you looking for a job? No? Excellent! Hey, now only 9,999,999 Americans are unemployed! Let's keep calling and see if we can get this number down lower!"

As President Biden reminded us last night, the country is doing better economically than it has at any point in the last fifty years. Democrats lead, Republicans only destroy.

That's not what the report actually said.

Care to give it another try?

Free advice.. If you are ever invited to give the response to the SOTU, don't.

Look who's back! Santos attended the SOTU and announced he's running for office again. He the one surrounded by the other cool kids in the below photo.

Longest stretch of unemployment rate below 4% in fifty years, wage growth outpacing inflation for quarter after quarter, Republicans shitting their pants. It's a good day to be a Democrat.

I don't believe she did herself any favors in that speech... but she far outperformed the crazy old man the Dems put up.

I’ll give Joe Biden credit that he didn’t fall down flat on his face and had more energy. I suspect they gave him a high dose of Hunter Biden’s crack. The only thing higher than Joe Biden last night was the price of eggs & number of illegal immigrants crossing the Rio Grande.

When someone stops looking for a job, they don't count toward the umemployment rate anymore.

You should already be familiar with this, because you've never had or looked for a job, therefore you don't count towards the unemployment rate, despite being a chronically unemployed welfare case.

Pelosi got mad that Biden referred to that murderer guy as an "illegal" instead of "undocumented."

I saw that. Pelosi be like: hey, don’t eff with our undocumented voters.

One of the more alarming parts of the SOTU was Biden addressing SCOTUS directly and basically threatening them. I don’t recall if that was before or after he talked about political violence has no place in our country & you can’t love America only when you win…

Anyways, it seems for Democrats Biden did enough to convince them that he is their guy for the 2024 election. Game on. As it stands today, Trump would win all the battleground states by a healthy margin.
