Now all they have to do is revise last month’s numbers down right before they come out with this month’s numbers.

Easy peasy.

The poor administration: if they let the truth come out, then it undercuts the false claim that they’re economic wizards. If they lie, as they did, it undercuts their claim that they need to blow trillions more into the company to help it recover.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Oh, you mean they lied to us? I am stuned.

Here are the details on the changes that made the numbers look so good:

I didn’t believe these numbers for a minute. Anyone who doesn’t see that we are under a full-fledged Matrix delusion are just too naive to live.

Don't question it. If Biden were to have an unrelenting barrage of 'bad weeks for Biden' as the MSM likes to label their dumbshit clickbait, Joe Sixpack might finally say, "You know, wtf, doesn't seem real."

You give any enemy a brief win, a respite, and the real result is that the opposing troops are refreshed for the next battle. Human. Nature.

So, are they saying, Fake News!?

And all this time, the porn industry was the only place I thought fluffing took place and fluffers existed..........

At least we don’t prosecute people for Falsifying Official Government Documents anymore, because it is a FELONY to do so

[Bratch]

The WSJ should take comfort in the fact they’re no longer exposed to “mean tweets”.

During the Trump administration, most financial numbers had to be revised up, even though they were pretty good even before the revisions.

Sundance fisked that jobs report on CTH two days ago.

[SueRae]

Thanks for that link. Need to reread all those charts again to fully understand the manipulations.

[Hattie]

They’re cookin’ the books.
