The Biden administration has struggled to account for April’s dismal jobs report. Yesterday one of Biden’s economic advisers, Cecilia Rouse, tried to explain the awful numbers without referring to any of the obvious culprits, e.g. workers being paid not to work. The problem, she said, was that Easter fell in March this year:

I don’t know how that would account for a lack of hiring in April, but in any event, Easter was not in March, it was on April 4.

The Biden administration flails incompetently, the the Democratic Party press averts its eyes and pretends that all is well.

Will the GOPe point this out? Of course not. They don’t want to anger their Good Friends From Across The Aisle.

The essence of these people — no attempt at Truth or Facts. They just “say stuff”.

“Hey, I thought it sounded good.”
“I bet this will shut them up.”
“Well, I thought they’d buy it.”
“Oh, what do they know? They’re a bunch of idiots watching CNN.”

We The People do not matter to these people.

Biden needs to talk with Carter, who at least knew how to deal with rabbits.

The problem, she said, was that Easter fell in March this year:

Poorly worded and failed to get their intended point across. Here is the more straightforward version. What they wanted to say was, "The evil Christ killiers struck early, killing the Palestinian prophet Jesus earlier than usual, So he could not create more jobs. This had the effect of driving the jobs created number unexpectedly down. This was entirely the fault of the Jews and white supremacists."

Actually, she meant to say “The White Supremacists moved Easter and killed the economy and that would be Trump’s fault”

Slightly different approach... I wanted to emphasize the antisemitic nature of the administration, you wanted to point out the other approach. Potato - potahto.
