Holy shit is this beautiful:

According to The Don, the "real" unemployment rate of 42% has gone to 4.7% since he took office. Talk about some tremendous bigly big-league progress!

While his self-aggrandizement is clearly a crock of shit, he does have a slight point with regard to the "real" unemployment rate. U-6 is a more accurate measure.

U3 is the official unemployment rate. U5 includes discouraged workers and all other marginally attached workers. U6 adds on those workers who are part-time purely for economic reasons.

On the other hand, the BLS has published the U-6 rate consistently so it's no secret. :D

Would you look at that. I figured this would be a non-story considering he won and nobody cares about his tax returns.

Of course a mysterious release of 1 year of tax returns isn't suspicious at all. Especially a year in which he actually paid something. Over a decade ago. Sounds legit.

Agreed. Non-story and a distraction. I'm actually a little disappointed that someone like Maddow would even run with that story. What exactly did she think she was proving?

Fortunately it wasn't in a public bathroom or we would have the Republicans pointing and saying how necessary bathroom bills are because predators are targeting our children in bathrooms.

Never mind the fact that it was one of their own. That's totally irrelevant.

So you are saying we need a bill to ban Republicans from public bathrooms :think:. After all, there are more reports of Republican lawmakers acting predatory in bathrooms than there are transgender folk
