Trump is elected, law and order is restored, and illegals are deported resulting in a huge drop in crime. You are welcome you ------- liberals.

You know that most of those arrested have been productive members of their community.

You also know that Trump goes after them because going after the real bad boys is too hard.

But I understand. Donald has so little real accomplishments that you feel compelled to make one up.

Let's talk about the increase in flood deaths under Trump.

A curfew will do that.

I bet you just can't wait for one in your town.

Odd...

They've been dropping since Biden became President.

Guess we should bring back Biden!

The only world where law and order needed to be "restored" was MAGA fantasy land.

You morons have spent four years s*&^ting on your country and are now magically seeing everything as being great despite there being little to no change in reality beyond the authoritarian "fixes" MAGA is instituting to fix non-existent problems.

Yeah, Trump is great at fixing MAGA Myths.... because they are myths.

Immigrants of every variety STILL commit much less crime per capita than do US citizens, despite the MAGA LIES to the contrary.

Reich wing racist ----- like Squats should be rounded up and pushed out of helicopters.

Actually flood deaths are lower right now under Trump than Biden.

NorthCarolina, and Helene and Milton alone.

Time will tell but nice to see you cheering for more deaths and destruction of your fellow Americans, to own the cons.

Don't bunch me, my family, and most of my fellow employees, in with illegal immigrants that already committed crime when they crossed the border, or overstayed their visa.

It's going to be a bad hurricane season and Trump is going to screw it up.

That's my prediction. What's yours?

Homicides in the U.S. in 2020 increased nearly 30% over the previous year, the largest one-year jump since the FBI began keeping records, according to figures released Monday by the agency.

The demented orange pedo's legacy is something for IAMRUNT to crow about.

Excellent.

Kudos to Los Angeles.

Hopefully, the start of a trend.

There's a nice graph in the story. Ffs.

Total City of LA murders by year:

2016: 294 - Obama's miserable legacy
2017: 282 - Trump fixing the Democrat problem
2018: 258 - Trump fixing the Democrat problem
2019: 258 - Trump fixing the Democrat problem
2020: 355 - Democrat 'summer of love'
2021: 402 - Joe Biden saying Trump put up rookie numbers
2022: 392 - Continued Biden incompetence - so bad the DA had a recall effort
2023: 327 - Continued taxpayer revolt
2024: 268 - Democrats trying to cool their violent followers for the election

So, in 4 years, Biden racked up 20% more bodies than Trump - who had great numbers until the Democrats spurred the 'summer of love'. Only in 2024 did the Dems start to make actual progress but still did not reach the lowest put up by Trump.

So cool to see both the oneironaut and ScottS current aliases assaulting a thread at the same time.

A tag team?

Wish I knew.
