Because the full phrase is “those who don’t understand history are doomed to repeat it”

who’s party is running everything

51% republican, 49% democrat, >1% independent depending on how specifically you count.

The job of the Biden administration was to normalize/cool off the fresh hell that was Trump 2016.

We are currently in the fresh hell that is Trump 2026. 2028 will most likely bring a democrat administration which will simply normalize the current shitshow and slow down enough to allow some social annealing.

we have not been this bad off since Nixon

Are you insane!? By what metric!?

Are you unaware of the pure evil that was Reagan? Clinton’s “third way” which paved the way for modern corporatism? Bush and the patriot act and Iraq wars? Obama selling the country out to corporate interests? Trump 2016?

asking anyone to care about Biden in the face of Trump 2026 is lol

Which is why we’re all doomed to repeat the same fucking cycle over and over again.

hell if we can prove he knew and hid it I’m even fine exploring if charges

We can though. They’ve all had the full unredacted files since 2019 and have had plenty of partial evidence since 2008.

I’m sure as fuck not wasting any effort caring about that this very moment

You should because until you do everything will continue to get worse.

single biggest issue is getting Trump to stop fucking this country up further,

The tail doesn’t wag the dog, Trump is a symptom not the root cause. The issue with your metaphor is that the cancer and bleeding out are unrelated.

he should hang for the highest top secret leaks alone

That and so much more! It’s never going to happen though without severe political upheaval because almost anyone who would order that execution has hands which are similarly bloody.

Agreed! However, Biden also could’ve released the files.

Any current senator, or from the past 5 years, could release the full unredacted files but are actively choosing not to.

We’re just gonna pretend the Clintons weren’t part of the pedo files?

“killed by Israeli fire” is quite the choice of phrase.

That “short time” and odd date range (January to April) should both be red flags to be highly suspicious of them taking credit for external factors and cherry picking data/date ranges.

My analysis was based on taking them at face value as being the sole reason for the change, with the knowledge that the numbers they are reporting are highly deceptive. Even from that naive perspective their numbers are bad.

However, the data shows a sharp increase in the murder rate starting around 2014 due to unknown causes. The dropoff from 2010-2014 is often attributed to the defeat of the CIA backed Shower Posse gang after the Tivoli incursion in 2010.

I would bet that the current high murder rate is due, in part, to IMF loans (starting in 2013), global transition away from sugarcane to beets (predominantly EU in 2015), CIA involvement and COVID tourism impacts dramatically destabilizing the local economy. That’s something that no amount of killing by the government sanctioned cartel will have any positive impact on.

2024 homicide rate was ~40.1 per 100,000. Jamaica population is ~2.8 million so ~1100 murders/year. 37% decrease in homicides is ~420/year. Increase in police killings is 67.

Assuming you can attribute the change totally to whatever the police are doing (almost certainly not the reality) that puts the situation as a 1:6 trolley problem.

Is it an improvement? Technically yes, but imagine anything else working that way and it should be pretty obvious the JFJ is right that this is insane.
