So then she wasn't fired for being 70% off.  Thanks for proving my point.

No. What you said was fantasy. Impossible. We are dealing with what really happened, and what could happen. Says a lot that you think you made a point by introducing a ridiculous premise.  Kids do that a lot.

Show me proof that that's why he fired her. 

In my opinion, today’s Jobs Numbers were RIGGED in order to make the Republicans, and ME, look bad

It's the same point you tried to make by saying what if she was only off by 15% and you think that proved your point. But you're terrible at logic and you're not smart so I one-uped you

15 pct down is possible.   70 pct up is ridiculous. Childish. If it ever happened in modern times it was a lie.

It happened during covid, which of course you're going to say is rigged because it was for Biden. You just repeat Trump's lies like a a ventriloquist dummy

Yup.  A lie. 

[EternalShinyAndChrome 4,147]

Does he even need a reason to fire her?  Unless Ghey_Artest has actual proof that she was fired based on some protected reason (sex, race, etc...) then the WHY of how she was fired is completely irrelevant is an absurd mountain to stand on.

This Ghey_Artest guy appears to be a clueless teenage girl, getting outraged at even the slightest of events.  Good gosh.  I hope her mom has a lock on the basement door and doesn't allow her up into the rest of the house.

No he doesn't need a reason but he told us anyway.  He said she rigged the numbers.  That is an obvious lie and the fact that he continues to silence dissent and surround himself with lackeys that will repeat his lies is concerning to independent people who respect the truth.  I realize that's not you.

This seems to be a pretty big deal to you. All day long again?

Seems to me like he fired her because he thought she was purposely misrepresenting the jobs numbers in order to make the administration look bad. 

Not because she didn't lie in order to make him look good, like she did, repeatedly, with the last guy. 

These things can be construed however we want.

Maybe you never noticed this before but anytime trump doesn't like an outcome, he says it's rigged.  He's been doing this for decades.  It's clearly what happened here

Nope.  Get correct numbers.  I worked in a very similar position.  I would have been toast if my numbers were consistently that bad and I knew it.

Firing seen as Trump authoritarian move.

Yep, and MAGAs love it.

Sad.

70 pct. If it were a reasonable number there would be a point.  But not 70. Sorry shitlibs, she deserved to be canned.

[Sandy Loam 154]

Here is another take on Trump's authoritarian move and explains how this one person could not manipulate the numbers. 

One authoritarian move after another, and MAGAs remain blindly devoted. Mental illness.

That's not why she was fired.  SMH.

Trump and all of Trump's minions have said she rigged the numbers.

I assumed that yesterday because that wouldn't be so bad that Trump would have to accuse her of rigging.  He can't take bad job numbers, so they must be rigged, according to him.

If the numbers had been accurate for the last three months without any need of revision, she still would have been fired. It’s the results he doesn’t like.

I'll file this under:

2016 Tim: "Hillary Clinton is going to crush Donald Trump"

2024 Tim: "Kamala Harris is going to crush Donald Trump"

2025 Tim: "Tariffs are going to crush Donald Trump"

So, yeah, filed under "Tim's Absolutely Wrong Again".

If we had to list all of the times Tim wasn't just wrong, but dead-wrong, we'd be spending the next 3 days typing it all up.

Maybe it's just easier if we list out what Tim has been right on.  Hmmmm...I'll start.

Things Tim has been right on:

•  

Okay, you're up!!!  I can't think of anything else.
