You can’t manage an economy without trustworthy data.

America is now brain dead and on life support, just like our President.

America has been a third-rate country. Any country that allows guns to be the leading cause of death for their youth and doesn't provide healthcare to its citizens, was never serious and always corrupt.

Slava's good people. Got punished professionally for calling out Ovechkin's Putin-loving ways

Not quite the same but 4 hours before my flight from Charles De Gaulle to ORD one engine was on the ground in pieces. Much to my surprise we took off on time.

Putin’s playbook.

America became a third rate country two times in recent history. First time was Jan 7th when Trump wasn't imprisoned for an attempted coup. Second time was when this 3rd rate country elected the treasonous felon a second time.

And, a fascist one.

Say it, ship hole country.

Becomes? It IS a third rate country. The damage is done. Its going to take years to return the USA to any measure of international respect. So much for American Exceptionalism. Exceptionally arrogant, ignorant and imperialistic
-
It's an old Soviet joke but it's also factual. Everything I've read about Russia starting a war with Ukraine and failing to achieve a swift victory (or any victory, more than 2 years on) is because of this: you don't tell the leader bad news.
So all the BS left them thinking they could win easily.

Already a third rate country fyi

Old Soviet joke: what’s the difference between a Russian pessimist and a Russian optimist?
A Russian pessimist says, “it can’t get any worse.”
A Russian optimist says,
“It CAN get worse.”

Trump fires the head of BLS because he didn't like the labor stats. Never does take responsibility for any of his negative actions. It's always someone else's fault when something goes wrong. However he does take credit for other peoples success ‘. It’s his whole life

Bingo!

Third-rate country ?
Pete is being too optimistic

Calling us third rate is generous. We rank 22nd for quality of life. 28th out of 37 OECD countries in math, 12th in science, 15th in college completion and dead last in healthcare. And Trump is actually making it even worse. And don't get me started on military spending and readiness.

This is a classic case of "shooting the messenger."

Funny. But……

This is the perfect analogy for where we are today. 😞

We are well on our way to becoming that third-rate shithole country the orange dictator used to whine about.

Remember when Trump said he would be a dictator “for a day,” and MAGA/MSM laughed and joked about how Trump is such a kidder?…
I’m glad Maya Angelou didn’t live long enough to have to bear witness to MAGA and Trumpism. It would tear her soul out and turn it to ash.

Nah. We beCAME third-rate with Trump 1.0. Nowadays we’re a shit hole third-world country.

Old Soviet jokes are funny because they’re true.

The way it’s going he will have nobody left to fire. Well he can’t fire me! So here goes. The job numbers stink! Everything is rising in cost because of your unhinged thinking Tariffs make us money! You are a child rapist X-many! The economy is a disaster! And so on! So for all of us just disappear

Killing the messenger.

Great joke but utterly sad too.

The guy was worthless. Good riddance.!

3rd. You're too kind. Or blind. Trump has turned America into an international joke. The only thing missing is a clown suit with those huge shoes.
-
What makes me laugh about this is that, at least in the UK, statistics companies just put statistical data into easily digestible forms, with very little (if any) flair.
Trump just wants a YesMan™, which is straight out of the Fascist Handbook.

I feel confident the new head of the BLS will do a great job.

All he has to do is destroy the plumbing and water quality and we are a 3rd world country. They already rolled back water quality. So almost.

No one can tell if the US is "a third-rate country." All the people doing the telling have been fired.

No need to worry, we all know how bad things are out there, no amount of Trump's bullshit will save him now

Correction: America has already become a 3rd rate country.

I think it's adorable that anyone believes we haven't already been a third rate country since the fucking eighties.

Buttigieg was the chump that brought his own vote count manipulation software to an official Primary election ... and his party paid for it.

Sadly true!

I'm going to keep posting:

It's way funnier than 1984 and Animal Farm.

We are already there. Trump’s race to the bottom has been epic and he’s just getting started. How low can we go?

Never let the Republican Party off the hook. They can stop this today if they wanted to.

Becomes a third world country? For many of us it has been since the Reagan administration.

Sorry but it became a 3rd rate nation when it elected this piece of shit human..

There is no dictator who is entirely sane. There is no dictator who is wise. There is no dictator who employs good counsel. There is no dictatorship which is benevolent.
There is no dictatorship in whose Reich the people are free, wealthy and happy.

Trump can't handle the truth. Never could, never will.
His goons are quite willing to live with that -as all goons for all dictators are and always have been.
Only now the country will pay the price for it. And as history has shown, such can get very costly.

An autocratic ruler and proponent of fascist ideology who is using totalitarian methods to maintain a firm and permanent grip on power.
An autocoup.

Yup. Third rate…

The old joke that Trump could've taken his father's money and done nothing but fingerpaint and be richer than he is now. Now he's just a drug addict who always needs money and then is everyone's bitch who gives him money.

I see hundreds of posts daily pointing out the obvious about Trump. But who is taking the lead in America against him? Who is leading the charge to usurp this tyrant? And why does it have to be a politician? JJust questions that I have.

Which is exactly why most Republican administrations get their job numbers adjusted UP and all Democrat administrations get their numbers adjusted down.

Old Jewish joke. Two Russian Jews on a train to Odessa. One says to the other, “Yaakov why are you reading the Tsar’s anti-Semitic newspaper? It’s a rag!” To which Yaakov replies, “I love this paper. In here it says we’re all rich and we control the whole country!”

Ah yes, if the numbers are bad, just fire the math.Next up: banning thermometers for causing fevers. Fixing the stats by fixing the statistician — truly bold leadership.

Nothing new. It took Stalin in 1937 to shoot two sets of census management to make the census results agree with what the Party was saying. Initially, the 1937 USSR census claimed 30M Soviet citizens were missing. It was an impossibility, you have to admit. Like with those missing US jobs now.

I am sure Putin got a hearty laugh out of how amateurish Trump's shooting-the-messenger hysterics were yesterday

Powell did not resign. He had the balls to correct the rapist racist ignorant orangutan.

We're already a third-rate country. The rating keeps getting lower by the day.

Just like in the UK with Brexit facts don’t matter

Trump did the same with Covid and doubled down on his current term by restricting access to infectious diseases information. Got rid of public news organizations too. All we have now is Trump propaganda.

We can never forgive the Americans who voted for this. We can never forget what they did.

America has always been a third-rate country. They just got really fucking rich by accident, i.e., due to the interaction between their geography and the invention of aviation (AKA geopolitics).

Not sure why everyone is so surprised by this.
Donald Epstein has surrounded himself with yes men/women who have no hesitation in lying for him.
Firing someone that tells the truth is the norm from now hence one if his first things in office was banning fact checking.

We became a third rate country when we put that clown in office. We became an absolute joke and embarrassment when we put him back in office a second time after all the crazy crap and crimes and sexual assaults

It reminds me of the guy with the inferiority complex who acts superior to compensate for it.

Will the 2026 election fix this? I don’t think he will listen or implement anything they do

Third rate is a good way to describe the old Republican Party. No ideas. No true moral code. No understanding of the real “human project” we are all working on.
Fascist is a good way to describe today’s Republican Party.

Republicans want to rule forever. They need to control the media so they can lie & deceive voters. This way, they can literally destroy our country & tell the voters everything’s fine. Kinda like what FOX,Newsmax & other right wing channels do & like Trump did at every campaign rally. They just lie!

There're many attributes magas do as per the soviet pattern. Humiliating invoking the leader, painful groveling, concealing of truth, blaming others for own sins. And the guardians of democracy shamelessly give up or collaborate on destruction. So obvious, so embarrassing, so dangerous.

what do you mean "becomes a third-rate country". It's already there, and has been since at least ww2

It's a direct path to our breakdown

REPUBLICANS You have overseen the dismemberment of the US Gov't, Education, Business, US Workforce Surprise! The Economy shows the scars of the demolition!
