When you fire the statistics collection people for true-but-bad news, you guarantee that you fly blind going forward, as people wont tell you bad news anymore.

We simply can’t trust government stats after this.

    I def read that comment as sarcastic. A little too on the nose for the usual MAGAt bro relative to a typical Lemming. Though I admit I haven’t checked their profile yet to confirm.

      I interpreted it as general disgust that this is the only thing that seems to have put a real dent in his support from the Republican base. Maybe I’m projecting. Don’t get me wrong, I get why people are upset about it, but it just strikes me as crazy that “oh no, the man who’s a petty tyrant and obviously a rapist and probable pedophile won’t release the files about the pedophile human trafficker” is the straw that broke the camel’s back for so many.
