The end of increased child tax credit payments and other government interventions has dramatically increased the supplemental child poverty rate (incorporates the value of benefits such as child tax credits, earned income tax credits and stimulus checks) in America from 7.8 to 12.4 percent.
Way to go Republicans.
For 2022, the U.S. poverty level was $13,590 for individuals and $23,030 for a family of three.

In order to reverse the damage done by Biden, we would have to have an equivilent deflationary period to restore normal dollar values for goods.
Prices under Trump were wildly higher than prices under Carter. So Trump really destroyed the economy.
We were way better off under the Carter Administration as it relates to prices. Gasoline was 60 cents a gallon under Carter

the presumption of innocence
Is for criminal trials. It’s not related to running for office or serving in office.
If you are being interviewed for a job, there is no presumption of innocence either. If people think you suck, they don’t have to hire you. They don’t even have to consider you.

“standard measures of underlying inflation are now under 3 percent and falling. Fancier statistical models maintained by the New York Fed tell the same story, and say that underlying inflation has fallen by half since its peak last year.”
“the dramatic fall in underlying inflation this year is clearly real, and corroborated by many sources, notably business surveys. Voters, especially Republicans, may believe or claim to believe that inflation is still rising, but while this belief may be politically important, it’s just wrong”
So sad - the Republicans were praying for inflation.

He didn't print 10 trillion dollars and create inflation.
He did print 8 trillion in debt. An all-time record. Trump caused inflation with his tax cuts and by mismanaging COVID.

Further the Amnesty act of 1872 allowed most of them to seek and hold office.
Did you research the Act?
Specifically, the 1872 Act removed office-holding disqualifications against most of the secessionists who rebelled in the American Civil War, except for "Senators and Representatives of the thirty-sixth and thirty-seventh Congresses, officers in the judicial, military, and naval service of the United States, heads of departments, and foreign ministers of the United States."[5]

“In his book, published in 2022, Esper wrote that Trump's effort "was a national embarrassment that undermined our democracy, our credibility, and our leadership on the world stage."
“Esper later wrote that Trump's behavior on January 6, when a mob of his supporters, incited by the president, attacked the Capitol and disrupted the counting of the electoral votes, "threatens our democracy."[178]
The MAGA Morons are also a National Embarrassment

AP article say different.
“officials also were intent on avoiding any appearance that the federal government was deploying active duty or National Guard troops against Americans”
Officials? Who exactly? which officials? Bill Barr? The Mayor of DC? Trump? Who?
This article was written the day after the insurrection. It took months to sort out who was responsible for the security failures. Idiots like you were saying it was Nancy Pelosi’s fault.
Oh, and you left this part of the article out:
“The actions of the day also raise troubling concerns about the treatment of mainly white Trump supporters, who were allowed to roam through the building for hours, while Black and brown protesters who demonstrated last year over police brutality faced more robust and aggressive policing”
“Mayor Muriel Bowser had warned of impending violence for weeks, and businesses had closed in anticipation. She requested National Guard help from the Pentagon on Dec. 31, but the Capitol Police turned down the Jan. 3 offer from the Defense Department, according to Kenneth Rapuano, assistant defense secretary for homeland security”
So the Mayor had asked for the National Guard.

Classic strawman fallacy from the moron who is always incorrectly claiming strawman.
I know full well what it is, you do not,
No, you don’t. You claimed Cipollone and Hutchinson gave hearsay (heresay in your case) evidence, which was incorrect. You literally can’t even spell the word.
They were the ones who witnessed Ivanka Trump trying to get her father to act. Their testimony under oath corroborated each other. You’re a dummy.
This country needs to evaluate if morons like you should be allowed to vote and make some changes.
The reason hearsay is barred for evidence is simple: one cannot cross examine the person who is making the statement since that person is not in court.

“For the sentencing, Peyton (the MAGA moron’s daughter) wrote a letter to the judge asking for leniency and saying the former president had led her father astray. When Trump spoke, she wrote, her father “fell to his knees.”
Peyton hadn’t planned to speak to the news media, but then she impulsively began.
“Trump deserves life in prison if my father is in prison for this long,” she said of the former president, who has since been indicted four times, including on charges related to Jan. 6. As she spoke, she thought she might black out.

No, it is not. It is called HEARSAY and for good reason.
Wrong. It takes 3 people to create hearsay evidence genius.
The person who said or did something
The witness who heard or saw the person say or do something
A third person the witness relayed the evidence to.
In this case both Hutchinson and Cipolone witnessed Ivanka imploring her father to act. Those are both first hand accounts. Their testimony is also first hand.
The two statements support (or corroborate) each other.
An example of hearsay would be where person A sees someone climbing into the window of a house. If A later tells person B that the person he saw was C, evidence from B of what A told him is hearsay.
And you claim to have legal training, Lol. You are such a dummy you can’t figure out hearsay
Created:
Unsure recollections without anything factual to back it up, especially when the others from whom they claim to have heard the statements being conveyed from, are not present to affirm or deny said statements = hearsay.
Bullshit. First hand testimony under oath is called evidence .
Maxine Waters is more culpable for inciting leftists who have accosted innocent people trying to force them to adhere to the Burn Loot Murder mantra if Chauvin would be acquitted. That rhetoric was specific and meets the legal criteria, Trump telling people to fight like hell (i.e., protest sternly) but peacefully and with dignity =/= incitement to violence. He never said get confrontational and in their faces like Waters did. You are delusional.
People from J6 who were arrested and went to trial testified, and their lawyers argued, they were there specifically because Trump told them the election was stolen and to come to Washington DC. “It will be wild”

“Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide to Chief of Staff Mark Meadows corroborated Cipollone’s recollections about Trump’s eldest daughter on Jan. 6.
“White House counsel’s office wanted there to be a stronger statement out to condemn the rioters. I’m confident in that,” Hutchinson testified. “I’m confident that Ivanka Trump wanted there to be a statement to condemn the rioters.”
“Ivanka Trump, former President Donald Trump's daughter and senior adviser, was among those who gathered at the White House on Jan. 6, 2021, to try to pressure her father to issue a stronger statement to get the rioters at the Capitol to disperse, aides testified during a House hearing Thursday”
It was documented in testimony by several people around Trump at the time of the riot.

How was he, one man, going to stop the riot?
You are being ridiculous. He was asked (by his own daughter, Kevin McCarthy and several others) to call off the attackers. He refused.
Yes, they did, and it is cited within my comment discrediting the claim 14/3
Your citation doesn’t say the FBI declared J6 was not an insurrection. You are lying.
“The FBI has found scant evidence that the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was the result of an organized plot to overturn the presidential election result, according to four current and former law enforcement officials”
This is meaningless. It’s subjective. It’s anonymous. And it certainly doesn’t quote the FBI saying anything like what you are proposing.
Since this Washington Examiner fish wrapper article, several people have been convicted of seditious conspiracy and given long prison sentences.
By that definition, there was no “insurrection” at the United States Capitol on Jan. 6, according to the FBI.
That’s another lie. The FBI doesn’t look at the dictionary definition of insurrection and they never said what you say they said.
Created:
Easy to claim, harder to prove.
You are the one claiming Trump “offered” the National Guard to protect the Capital.
Prove it. You are a liar.
“The Army major general testified that the day before the insurrection, he received a letter with an "unusual" restriction on deploying any quick-reaction force service members unless granted explicit approval by then-Secretary of the Army Ryan McCarthy”
Created:
Wrong. Trump offered the National Guard to protect the Capitol and Pelosi said no.
That’s a lie. Trump didn’t offer the National Guard and Pelosi didn’t say no because it was not offered.
Trump did what he could before J6 happened, so what the fuck was he going to do that just wouldn't be shot down anyways.
That’s ridiculous. He sat and watch it on TV and did nothing to stop the attack
which is precisely why the FBI clearly stipulated that J6 was NOT [an] insurrection.
That’s a lie. The FBI never stipulated, declared or announced J6 was not an insurrection.

Because of this I predict it will go up to the supreme court and fail on those grounds.
Trump watched the insurrection on TV from the White House. Many people in person and by phone implored him to take action to stop it, He did nothing for 3 hours.
It is not a question that he helped the insurrection with his inaction. He should be banned from office under Article 14.
He was impeached and should have been convicted by the Senate but there were too many cowards who put their own political careers ahead of the country.
