Trump fires all the people reporting statistics he doesn't like and a 'new report' comes out that says stuff actually got bad under his predecessor!
Is it true? Maybe! Sure feels like it but I can't trust the government to produce accurate statistics so...
LOL, if you trust any statistics coming out of the Trump regime, I have a bridge to sell you.
Did it, or did vast numbers of those in poverty get picked up off the street by armed men, and deported without any trials or review.
All the down voters should understand that Jacobin is left of Bernie politically. TFA predicts a worsening under Trump.
I do understand this is from Jacobin (if you ignore they republished it from some guy that hosts most of his stuff on substack).
I also understand that they unapologetically and uncritically used data from the fucking TRUMP ADMINISTRATION to "prove" their point.
Even if true, it requires so, soooo much independent verification before it could remotely be taken seriously, let alone used as a hit piece on the former admin. I'm not saying the Biden admin was great - but damn, does this smell suspicious.
yeah enough people have been fired for not providing data that reads right that using any data that did not come out in 2024 or before is with a big ol grain of salt.
What was it the German communists said about hitler?
I don't know where you're trying to go with this comment.
You complained people were down-voting something without knowing it was "left of Bernie". I pointed out it used Trump admin data, which is... not "left of Bernie" (and frankly not to be believed under any circumstance without validation).
“First Hitler, then us”, in answer to my comment.
Ignoring that we're way, way off track from my criticism of your initial comment, it looks like we're now into some random criticism of antifa being cooperative with Hitler?

That's the closest I can find to your "quote" (wiki gives it as "After Hitler, our turn!") Are you trying to do some kind of nihilistic "bOtH SIdEs" here, or am I missing your point?
If you're trying to say that even the supposedly more left of Bernie source is complicit, just say that instead of your random comments.
Biden’s American Rescue Plan further expanding social welfare after the CARES Act and Consolidated Appropriations Act. The horrifying surge in poverty — and economic insecurity more broadly — afterward is attributable to pandemic aid programs expiring or being eliminated during a cost-of-living crisis. In 2024, Kamala Harris chose not to campaign on resurrecting a version of the pandemic welfare state, despite it having led to a historic reduction in economic hardship in 2021 and the cost of living having been voters’ top concern since 2022.
What does any of this have to do with Jeffrey Epstein? What I do know is that even under the Biden administration, Trump was still a pedophile.
