    There is often talk around here about employment/unemployment numbers. The black unemployment figure apparently spiked in just one month. The jump is so high -- nearly a whole percentage point -- as to warrant scrutiny. Is it possible that the number was never really as low as the government reported in December and not as high now? What could explain it?

    I may not be in great odor among certain circles, but trust me ... this kinda shit happens all the time. The kinds of things we’re curious about don’t typically lend themselves to theorem-lemma-proof confirmation.

    The subsets of the employment report are survey-based, meaning they're subject to the same fluctuations as public opinion polls. They get at reality, but they're not reality.

    So these aren't the real numbers? [/bluefont]

    But certain FBI members were hell bent on botching the HRC case. And often ignored: there were probably 20+ underlings that deliberately mishandled classified info that could have been prosecuted first. Instead, they got immunity as the FBI pulled punches at the top dog.

    The law should have been followed, the boom should have been dropped, and another candidate stepped in. Biden would have been my choice.

    The biggest influence on the election beyond the flaws of HRC? Simple: the FBI. Strozk proves it.

    I don't need this FISA memo to see where the royal fuck ups were.

    It's a subgroup in a survey - a recipe for a number with lots of noise.

    EDIT: I see others beat me to it.

    This is complete paranoid bullshit. Go ahead. Take the evidence and try and get an indictment in the District of Northern Virginia for H.R. Clinton. Yeah, James Comey really pulled his punches. Moronic.

    They're real when you believe them.
