  1. Until they can change the numbers to please them... this psychoTrump administration should be kicked out of Office.

  2. Translation: until they can cook the books to provide the alternate "facts" that benefit them.

  3. Because they're dumb it's gonna take em a while to figure out how to convincingly rig em. In the "next couple of weeks" maybe?

  4. the fake economist from the Heritage is another key person who the conman must place in the BLS chief position, just like OMB Vought. the conman needs the bogus economic performance to make up "golden age". science needs the consistency backed by the continuity. we will see how low the Senate is.

  5. Translation: until they can destroy factual data and make up data that makes Dump look good

  6. Gonna be tough to collect hundreds of pieces of data from different sources and manipulate it without anyone knowing. Definitely gonna need some time to figure out the best way to cheat.

  7. Yes KKKaroline, bc the entire Bureau of Labor Statistics, which has been around for decades, surely can’t do one of the things the agency was designed to do

    No, as usual, we need to bring in the least qualified person imaginable to take us further into bizarro land

  8. 😂 they will report as soon as they can make up new numbers and find a straight faced liar to report the fake numbers.

  9. think of it as an example. LYING is the new norm for this regime, speculating on whether they're going to lie why?

  10. Need I say more:

    "A Manhattan jury has found two Trump Organization companies guilty on multiple charges of criminal tax fraud and falsifying business records connected to a 15-year scheme to defraud tax authorities by failing to report and pay taxes on compensation for top executives."

  11. "The unemployment rate is the lowest since the 1960s under Biden."

    "I don't care, I can't get a job, so the rate is 100% and I'm voting for the guy who want to racially purge America."

  12. Bring on PBS instead of FUX News… they will learn something??

    Though learning and retention are as good as foreign languages to their leader!

  13. Lingo for the jobs numbers will be bad for the next while and even if we fudge the numbers like we want too, it will still look ridiculous.

  14. They can lie but when people and their families are affected by job loss and high price of food-already obvious- their lies won’t matter.

  15. "Now hear this: until further notice: absolutely nothing heard from the White House and any spokespeople; will make sense, will be based on true facts, be accurate in any way, shape or form and that includes graphs, "smart" boards, baseless studies, Polls and will certainly contain the word "maybe."

  16. So until they can cook the books and get the numbers they want. It reminds me of how during COVID Trump kept complaining about testing leading to more cases

  17. Serious question if someone can chime in and answer, are there any independent sources that report these numbers that we can look to for veracity?

  18. Leavitt actually means monthly jobs reports will be suspended until they can be manipulated by Trump's project 2025 authoritarian regime.

  19. It will fun watching the media still give them the benefit of the doubt when people are unemployed and the regime is claiming 500,000 jobs per month are being added.

    That what fascists do. They falsify the data to make themselves look like superhero’s.

  21. It’s crazy to consider that the numbers were already cooked beyond belief. Job report numbers haven’t been accurate since gig jobs became widespread.

    And somehow they’re gonna find a way to cook the books even more.

  22. They are trying to to hide the real facts about the economy…

    Stand up and fight the lies and the corruption

    America is better than this crap show we are being forced to watch and participate in

  23. ... Until they can cook the books.

    The "data and methodology" and source and demographic group AND ANY OTHER RELATED INFO already comes "in order."

    Pathetic gaslighting.

    Let the second guessing begin.

  27. BLS sends out tens of thousands of surveys to employers; the data is fed into computers.

    The computers produce the reports. The BLS director only sees the final product.

    Some surveys are returned late. That’s what causes upward and downward revisions of the previous months’ Jobs Reports.

  28. donald's waiting on chuck schumer's friends the baileys to weigh in on the matter. For every immigrant we deport, carrie underwood gains 3 farm hands of undetermined origin.

  30. What's to get in order? You prepare estimated numbers and give them to Trump with a Sharpie, and he gives you back your final numbers.

  31. It takes time to come up with a way to take actual data and manipulate it into something the boss likes even if everyone with half a brain will know is false and unreliable for business purposes. Have to fire the 40 people who compile the current statistics first.

  32. Until they’re done cooking the books and fudging the numbers. This administration is like watching a really bad mob series.

  33. He means the SHARPIE. They have to give the great hallowed orange Abaddon a new one to make all the down arrows go up.

  34. Yea, it is be in the Tax Receipts. Local, State and Federal Taxes will either decrease or increase as employees and employers pay or not pay taxes on both employment and spending. FICA and Sales Taxes will be the canary.

  35. The data and methodology were fine until this administration. It's not hard to understand that we are entering a recession, but 47 is just going to lie about that as well.

  36. There are some things that are plain & simply indefensible. But not for MAGA. There is nothing that Trump can do or say that they will not support. If he told them to run outside stark naked with their underwear on their heads, they'd do it and then tell us why it was such a brilliant genius idea.

  37. The James Brady press briefing room has been turned into "The Gaslight Lounge", and Leavitt is the compère at the fascist burlesque, introducing each grotesque act with a wink and a lie....

    They are having trouble manipulating the real data to conform to the narrative they want to move forward with.

  39. That's ok..we all know it's not good. They can hide the numbers, fudge the numbers, manipulate and lie all they want. But we all know the truth. It's not good.

  40. Bondi uses the same guy for her numbers

    “AG Pam Bondi, who—in a cabinet meeting on April 30—made the stunning claim that in President Trump’s first 100 days, the Department of Justice’s seizure of 22 million fentanyl pills—at the president’s direction—has saved more than 258 million lives.”

  41. Need to get the methodology in order to make sure the monthly jobs report shows a gain of 1 million job every month….

    Thank you Dear Leader, may we have some more!

  42. Next month, it’s going to be “Trump added 500 million more jobs this month!” And “Greatest President in history!” 🙄

  43. Unbelievable how these wanna be dictator blowhard dumb squad is trying to suppress and control information we all depend on to make correct decisions in our lives. They haven't learned anything from History! 😕

  44. Easy followup: do you have a single piece of evidence that the data and methodology that has been used for decades, including during Trumps first term, is flawed?

  45. In other words, make them show outrageous positive numbers.The jobs report (if it’s ever released again) will no longer be credible until the orange ass is out of office. Business owners are screwed on future decisions. Impeach the SOB!!!

  46. What company would possibly want to do business with the US under these conditions? Our data can no longer be trusted. Our systems are being breached at every level. If he wakes up in a snit he takes it out on anyone and everyone. It’s pathetic.

  48. Then scholars, statisticians, Govs, states, Universities, academia and business must step in and take this away from them. Need to build a NFP for labor and economic data to serve the American people. REAL INDEPENDENCE. No need to be attached to them.

  51. So if the "methodology" is "wrong" that means it was wrong for every other administration stretching back to god knows when. Which means there's no baseline for a "right" methodology to be compared against. Why don't you just spin a giant roulette table and have done with it?
