Another Trump move: They are attacking reporters in the streets...why not endanger them in the Rose Garden, too? 😡 — Melissa Jo Peltier (@MelissaJPeltier) June 5, 2020 .@jonkarl: "The health of the press corps should not be put in jeopardy because the White House wants reporters to be a prop for a 'news conference' where the president refused to answer any questions." https://t.co/z4NVVyJecw — Axios (@axios) June 5, 2020

Krugman chokes on it. NY Times columnist Krugman: Good jobs report suggests Trump admin may have 'gotten to' Labor bureau "Almost nobody saw coming?" Really? "Hold this, while I walk that back." Well, the BLS reports a GAIN in jobs and a FALL in unemployment, which almost nobody saw coming. Maybe it's true, and the BLS is definitely doing its best, but you do have to wonder what's going on. 1/ — Paul Krugman (@paulkrugman) June 5, 2020

If the Banks' Balance Sheets that survived the Financial Crisis in 2007, they should not need to access the FED's Repos... The Federal Reserve will unwind their Balance Sheet selling Assets... Gaslighter-in-Chief Trump is rambling on and on The Boob Tube, repeating words 2 and 3 X's... His Dementia is very noticeable... Tremendous, tremendous, tremendous ... Moi is tremendous out....

If you are talking about a different area then I can give my view on it instead. Let me try again. Should I infer that you approve of unidentified and unidentifiable riot police controlling protest demonstrations? Same area. Unidentifiable riot police. Key word--unidentifiable. No logos on their uniforms or gear to show the police organization that dispatched them or even if it was a police organization. Or military organization. No crest or logo or trademark. No name or badge number. Of course, a mask so no face. When asked whom they represented, either crickets or "DOJ." Who were they and who authorized them to engage in enforcement or anything else on our behalf? Contractors? Secret police? Some ad hoc bunch of vigilantes interjecting itself?

Oh, so the BLS gives accurate reports now? When they were cooking them under Obama?

John Kelly, President Donald Trump's longest-serving chief of staff and a retired Marine Corps general, said on Friday that he agreed with former Secretary of Defense James Mattis' assessment that Trump was harming the US.In an interview with Anthony Scaramucci, the White House communications director whom Kelly promptly ousted in 2017upon his promotion to chief of staff, Kelly said that Mattis was right to raise the alarm about Trump sending in active-duty troops to quash protests."The idea that you would unleash American active-duty folks, unless it's an extremist situation ... these are civilian responsibilities," Kelly said, "and we should be very, very careful before we contemplate sending in active-duty military."Kelly also alluded to deficiencies in Trump's character. "I think we need to look harder at who we elect," Kelly said, adding, "I think we should look at people that are running for office and put them through the filter: What is their character like? What are their ethics?"
