Great concept.

Horribly executed

At best, mixed results.

Worthy of scorn.

"They stopped caring about the budget on January 20, 2025.
Trump will add another 25% or more to the debt and they'll just bobble head along, swallowing heaping buckets of bulls*&^ to rationalize or justify it.

The budget is screwed and we are on a trajectory for a major meltdown and neither party is doing a damn thing to fix it.

"When you stupid s(*&s fall for stuff like Birthergate, Operation Jade Helm, so called assassination attempts, J6 being "just a riot," 2020 being "rigged"...ect ect ect"

Wow.

I'll address these one at a time.

"Bithergate" - Stupid Best evidence shows Obama was born in Hawaii. I never bought into it as a conspiracy. - Strawman #1 for you.

"Jade Helm" - I never heard of it before today, therefore certainly never subscribed to it. I have no interest in looking it up - Strawman #2 for you.

"So-called assassination attempts" - They happened. Here you are, "Mr. Scientist" donning a tinfoil hat and embracing a stupid conspiracy theory that most lefties discard because it's fricking stupid. Yet, here you are.

"J6 being "just a riot," -= It's exactly what it was. I condemn it for what it was. What it was not was an event that was worse than a mass extinction event, as you and your ilk try to claim.

"2020 being "rigged"

2020 wasn't a fair election for a number of reasons I can list. But the vote count, the most salient aspect, wasn't rigged. - Strawman #3

That's quite the record you have going. Wanna have an adult discussion about politics or are you happy acting like a juvenile Tik Tok-er?

You also deny their reason for being there as being a significant event.
So f(*& off. Your whines about hypocrisy are pathetic and hilarious.

It was a one-off wet-dream for Democrats and the left, and Pelosi even admitted on a hot mic of being partially responsible for not having adequate deterrence. No credible threat, at all, of a repeat. And yet, I did not complain about the presence, knowing full well that it was performative.

"Dude, all I'm doing is accurately presenting reality to you."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!!!

When it comes to econ you are so incredibly ignorant. You understand mucus and pathogens at a commendable level. Economics? You are a moron. Stay in your lane.

"If you don't want your nose rubbed in the piles you leave around, don't leave piles all around to have your nose rubbed in."

Inconceivable!

"Remember Operation Jade Helm? I do."

Never heard of it. It obviously was not on my radar. Process that, if you can,

"No, he's just concocted a fake "emergency" to be the first POTUS to utilize the Home Rule Act.
An action that would have had you a&^holes s(*&ting bricks and tearing your hair out if it had been a Dem POTUS."

From January through May of 2021 the National Guard was present in DC and I didn't complain. Eff off with your hypocritical projection.

"#46 | Posted by YAV"

It's a nice headline. The actual reporting was all over the place and confusing as heck.

JPW,

You are an absolute know-it-all. I defer to you when it comes to the science of pathogens because you've demonstrated knowledge on the subject in an authoritative manner. When you claim the same mantle on issues like, say, economics, I'm embarrassed for you. The God complex makes you look like a fool.

Pick up a Thesaurus. Look up the word: Humility. The sole antonym: JPW.

"Is this where you act like the "emergencies" Trump has declared are real just to avoid admitting he's acting illegally?

He's not acting illegally in DC. Chicago? If he employs the guard without a specific mandate of protecting federal property under assault (currently not the case) then absolutely yes, illegal without request from the locals.

So, eff off with your holier than thou --------.

"#35 | Posted by jpw at"

---- off, -------.

"Pertinent to this discussion was the destruction of Civics education.

Again A-effing-men!!!

It should be core to our K-12 education.

"Any high-school student used to be able to answer and explain all this. At least before "no child left behind" which destroyed education in America.

A-effing-men!!! What an absolute bipartisan disaster that was.

This is from AI, so caveats and other issues abound....

"Specifically looking at the time period following the deployment of National Guard Troops"referred to by the MPD in its data as "Federal Surge data""the police note a roughly 50 percent drop in various types of violent crime, amounting to an overall 40 percent drop in violent crime compared to the same time period in ..."

The big takeaway - 50% drop.

Deploying the national guard is not sustainable. It's a temporary measure. 50% drop? What it shows is what common sense shows - increased policing reduces crime.

Can an increase in policing go overboard? Yes. We need to try and thread the needle with it. Don't try and suggest any of this to JPW. He's even smarter than Vizzini. Just ask him.

"Just STFU idiot. You have neither the intellectual chops nor the character and convictions to be effective in this argument.

#23 | Posted by jpw at 2025"

Read ALL of my comments before spewing your --------, -------.

Yav,

I was referring to DC where the Executive actually has some jurisdiction. The results are there.

As it pertains to Chicago - nope. Can't deploy troops for crime prevention outside of providing protection of federal land under assault. Unless it's requested.

"Temporary being the operative word."

Exactly! WHY is it temporary? And why is a reversion back to the status quo not just acceptable, but apparently desired?

It reached 13 initially. It's truly incredible to watch lefties be angry about a temporary reduction in homicides.

How many consecutive days without a homicide?

Follow the data.

It was effective. It's a short term solution. That's it. You can't even acknowledge it.

Twoothy is butt hurt tonight.

It's been over 3650 days since a woman has made contact with his junk, so.....

Twoothy,

You haven't had female contact with your junk in at least 10 years.

It's why you are the way you are.

Sycophant,

You are lame and pathetic as hell.

JPW,

It was refreshing to read you trying to make a case with reason instead of just attacking everybody and everything. I hope that it continues.

Not a bad list. However all of them have some serious flaws.
