I am sure our esteemed host will give credit to our wonderful POTUS like he did in 2018 when our former POTUS posted similar numbers and was lionized.
Good going President biden.

now look at the seasonally adjusted number. up 80k
oddly, when the raw number was higher last week they reported the lower seasonally adjusted number. now when the raw number is lower they forget all about seasonally adjusted.

In 2018 we had a thread here. Crowing about the low unemployment claims.
Hannity himself was tooting trumps horn.
Now of course the shoes on the other foot.
No credit for biden.
The partisans are hard at work.

I can’t believe Jets actually won a Super Bowl. Actually, I’m inclined to believe that that event, along with the moon landing, had to be staged.
