My Fearless Prediction For Friday

Support Mother Jones this Giving Tuesday

Did you know Giving Tuesday got started, back in 2012, explicitly to fight against the commercial corruption of Thanksgiving with its Black Friday and Cyber Monday? That’s awesome! And what better way to mark the day than with a Giving Tuesday donation to Mother Jones that will help fight corruption of all sorts, day in and day out. Our finances are rough right now and we could really use a Giving Tuesday boost. Please help us make the most of this heightened day of giving if you can right now.

Friday is jobs day, when the BLS announces how many new jobs were created in February. One of two things will happen:

The number will be mediocre, in which case Trump will say we’re still living with Obama’s job-killing regulations, but don’t worry, he’s going to take care of that soon. MAGA!
The number will be high, in which case Trump will say that in his first month he’s already gotten the economy moving again and there’s more to come. MAGA!

No matter what happens, Trump is a winner.

UPDATE: Text and headline changed to account for the fact that apparently today isn’t Thursday. Sigh.
