Trump stole the election in 2024? seriously? I think most understand this not to be true. 2020 only because that sides where crazy lives.
There were many, even on here, who wanted hell fire to come down on Powell for not lowering rates but the hard core financials were just getting to a point where the Fed would lower them right at the time of the election. Most economists agreed. Inflation, while falling and now rising, wasn't quite where the Fed traditionally likes it to lower rates. I honestly believe Powell did a decent job and is continuing to do a decent job even though I don't particularly like the Federal Reserve system.
Once again Biden cooking the job numbers comes from the side of crazy.

It is well known that Biden kept many institutional leaders, including Powell, from the previous administration in their jobs. That kind of transparency helps to alleviate accusations of false numbers and distrust in government amongst RATIONAL people.

The question of whether we can trust the numbers TODAY coming out of various govt departments isn't crazy at all. First of all Krasnov fired EVERYBODY. More than any other president and replaced them with self centered billionaire ass kissers. Its well documented. Not some crazy conspiracy. If you watched that disgusting North Korean style cabinet ass kissing fest cabinet meeting the fact that this administration will fudge the books is a given. Once again, that's not conspiracy, thats common sense.

Creating distrust in government is a cornerstone of the Federalist Society Heritage Foundation Conservative philosophy to encapsulate power into the hands of the few. While sometimes foolish Democrats fall into that trap, our party has had the trowel of democracy in our hands for over 100 years constantly trying to rebuild the foundation and trust the people so desperately need.
