CNN doom and gloom at its finest. Record unemployment (among countless other numbers) and it's something they want us to worry about.

Is the unemployment rate too low?

America's job market is bit like the porridge in Goldilocks. You don't want it to get too hot or too cold. It needs to be just right.

Some experts believe it's starting to get too hot. The U.S. unemployment rate fell to 4.3% in May, according to Labor Department numbers published Friday. It's the lowest level since 2001.

That's why some experts think the U.S. economy is at, or getting close to, something called "full employment," which means employers can't find many more available and qualified workers for open jobs.

There is no exact number where economists can definitively say the U.S. job market has reached full employment. But once the U.S. hits it -- wherever that mark is -- some economists say there are risks to U.S. economic growth

Is the unemployment rate too low?

That's a pretty legit concern. The economy is in the same place as when he took it over. All the things he criticized about Obama's economy are true of his because the '08 fiasco wasn't corrected properly.

I honestly can't believe some of the stuff that I've read and heard over the past 12 months. It's painfully obvious that the general public uses (and defends) terms that they have no idea what they actually mean.

That is what the media called the employee as well.

Rogue Twitter employee on last day of job deactivated Trump’s personal account, company says

A Rogue Twitter Employee Shut Down Trump’s Account for 11 Blissful Minutes

I think being called a rogue is pretty bad ass. Maybe that stems from my days playing MMO's :)

Right now Trump's being sued for blocking people on twitter. The merit of the lawsuit is that it's his method of communicating with the public and him blocking people prevents that communication. I'd imagine that interfering with the President's ability to communicate with the public, and vice versa, could garner something as serious as conspiracy charges.

If he was blocking people from the @POTUS account, I could see their point, but why should anyone be entitled to Trump's personal Twitter?

And under that logic - that access to Trump's twitter is a human right - shouldn't everyone who has been banned from Twitter start up a lawsuit against Twitter? Twitter is denying them their rights to access the president's communication!

Probably because he uses his personal account in a professional capacity and the POTUS account just does retweets.

It's not really his official platform though. If a president gives an interview to a magazine or in any capacity behind a paywall, do people have a right to that? It's just libtards trying to stir up shit, wasting tax dollars with a frivolous lawsuit so they can say "omg I sued nazi trump looolz"

Pastor supporting Moore: 'More women are sexual predators than men'
A pastor who supports Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore (R) blasted the allegations of sexual harassment against Moore, saying they’re part of a “war on men.”

"More women are sexual predators than men," Pastor Franklin Raddish of Independent Baptist Ministries, a nationwide church, told Alabama news outlet AL.com. "Women are chasing young boys up and down the road, but we don't hear about that because it's not PC."

The news organization spoke to Raddish as part of an effort to speak with every pastor that endorsed Moore before the allegations against him were made public. Nineteen of the 29 pastors who responded told AL.com they were still supporting Moore.
Dozens of other Alabama pastors signed onto a letter released Friday calling Moore unfit for office and accusing him of preaching “extremist values” while comparing him to politicians who have “cynically used Christianity for their own goals.”

The letter also takes aim at Moore for the sexual misconduct allegations against him, saying his actions serve to "reopen the wounds of anyone who has been abused by leaders who should have been committed to compassion, to justice, and to healing God's world."

Ivanka’s signature real estate deals were disasters linked to drug cartels and money laundering
But a pair of recent, in-depth investigations reveal the bungled buildings point to far more concerning missteps than mistimed bonuses or poor designs. The president and his daughter appear to have been, at best, unwitting accomplices to money laundering and grand corruption on a significant scale.

The project in Azerbaijan has been tied to allegations of money laundering from the Azeri dictatorship and those close to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard; the project in Panama has been tied to allegations of money laundering from South American drug cartels. In both instances, the Trumps apparently ignored clear signs of the corruption and money laundering drenching Ivanka’s pet projects.

Alabama's Largest Newspapers Call Out Roy Moore for Sexual Abuse of Children and a 'Pathological Fixation' on Sex
A consortium of Alabama newspapers called on voters over the weekend to reject Republican Senate Roy Moore because of his alleged history of abusing women and children.

In a column Saturday, the Al.com editorial board argues that the “election is a turning point for women in Alabama.”

“Every day new allegations arise that illustrate a pattern of a man in his 30s strutting through town like the cock of the walk, courting and preying on young women and girls,” the editorial board writes.

The piece notes that Al.com has independently investigated the claims of women who report that they were sexually abused by Moore at ages as young as 14.

The seriousness of these incidents, including one involving a 14-year-old child, cannot be overstated. Nor can the growing number of accusations — from the women who were at the receiving end of unwanted adult male overtures as teens, to those who say they were physically assaulted — be parsed with talk of statutes of limitations or whether proof has been recorded on a stone tablet. In the American system, proof beyond a reasonable doubt is a consideration for the courtroom, not the ballot box. It is our job as voters to look closely at the candidates and make up our own minds.

“This election has become a referendum on whether we will accept this kind of behavior from our leaders,” the paper continues. “We each know someone in our lives who is a survivor of sexual assault or child abuse. Many of us are still searching for the words needed to tell our own stories and some may never find that voice. This election is about them.”

The editors add: “This utter disregard for people unlike himself, his pathological fixation on sex, and the steps he’s taken to actively diminish other people’s freedoms, is more than enough to have disqualified him from this office long before these women stepped into the public eye.”

In the end, the editors of Al.com suggest that voters cast their ballots for Democratic candidate Doug Jones or write in a candidate other than Moore.

While in office, Trump has lied 1,628 times
You want to know how inured we are to Trump’s lies? A headline in the Washington Post this week passed almost without notice. “President Trump has made 1628 false or misleading claims in 298 days.” I’ll bet it went right by you, along with this: “In the past 35 days, Trump has averaged an astonishing nine claims a day.” That would be false claims, in case you were wondering. According to the Post’s calculations, Trump has averaged 5.5 lies a day, putting him “on track to reach 1,999 claims by the end of his first year in office, though he obviously would easily exceed 2,000 if he maintained the pace of the past month.”
