CIRCLE WITH A DOT

Man, if I was ANYWHERE near #NewYork right now, I would march RIGHT down to James "Babydoll" Dixon's office, look his secretary or receptionist in the face, and say:

>"What would it cost in dollars to get #JonStewart to appear in a five minute discussion where I directly ask him:

>>'What would it take to get you to seriously run for #President of the #UnitedStates to save our country's soul?

>>See, over 20 years ago, you sat onstage between Tucker Carlson and Paul Begala, and you implored them,

>>>"we NEED you, we NEED what you do."

>>Well, I am here now, saying to you, Mister Stewart, we NEED you. We NEED what you do.

>>Since at least 1999, the turn of the millennium, we've been watching you.

>>We've watched you play the court jester... but the one that revealed the Emperor's New Clothes.

>>We've seen you grow from a slightly mawkish and self-deprecating shy guy to a commanding and somber elder statesman. The voice of a rational generation.

>>Your unique career trajectory has been guiding you to this moment in time, this place in space.

>>We need you, like the #Ukraine needed #Zelenskyy. We need your strength, your intelligence, your wit, your candor.

>>We need you. Please, step up. Help save us.

>>We need you.

>>#NoJoke.'

>Either recorded or private, his choice, of course. Do you validate?"

You know, if I lived anywhere near New York, that is.

While #Trump is celebrating his jobs numbers with a single data point from the last month, let's take a look at all of them en masse, shall we?

From the Bureau of Labor Statistics, who... so far... still have to tell the truth. You can get all the data from their website here, where you can download the Excel sheet that I just downloaded from them:

But I've attached an image that makes things a little bit easier to see. The numbers are all in the thousands. Hmm.....

"breaking important tradition" hmm... like maybe... the "peaceful transition of power" that our Democratic Republic is based on? #Trump
