Bottomline, it's still questionable if crime is truly down in DC.

No, it's not.

I live near D.C., if crime was not very obviously down compared to the 90s I'd be agreeing with you.

You can't just hide behind uncertainty and build policy around unknowns, which is what you do with mail in ballots.

There's no reasonable basis for the President to invoke emergency powers to crack down on crime in Washington D.C., because there's no such crime wave causing any emergency.

The President doesn't even have statistics to support his claim.

How does merely casting doubt on the official numbers get you to agree there is an emergency?

You can't explain it. Because you don't understand why you think the things you think. Honestly it must be terrifying being you. Almost like a dementia patient.

I'm surprised Trump hasn't said it's okay to use PCBs in transformers again.

20 hours they have....since they have no job. This is why people don't care.

What sort of jobs do you think a Homeless Veteran can get?
You going to hire a stinky, mentally ill, crippled Homeless Veteran?
Of course not. That would scare your customers and your family.

My guess is Pam Bondi is so incredibly stupid, it never occurred to her that her boss rapes children.

"Dems need to come up with solid solutions for the ag industry and go sell it to farmers."

For reasons not even Eberly can explain,
"Don't Vote Republican!"
Is a sentence that farmer's can't understand.

I hope they don't allow pets.

Capitalist Credit Score.

First they came for the degenerates. You were one of them.

It's refreshing to see your true Nazi colors.

"DC has 8 times the murder rate than Fallujah."

Sounds like it's time to enact gun control in D.C.

"we're going to come after you,"

First they came for the sanctuary cities.

Republicans high fived and shotgunned a beer.

How Many Whites Felt Scared When They Saw A Negro

There's your statistic.

"offered no solutions."

^
Like when Trump told Republicans don't even have a vote on Biden's border bill.

No Biden solutions were ever going to be accepted.

Just like no Obama Supreme Court Nominee was ever going to be accepted.

"I think he had a conversation with Putin about how he can sabotage the Los Angeles Olympic Games."

I don't see how e.g. African and South American nations, basically half of the World Cup, can expect their teams to spend an entire month in the United States for the World Cup and not get sent to camps by ICE.

In 1980 the United States boycotted the Moscow Olympics. I would expect that kind of thing to happen in 2026 and 2028, and for the same reasons.

I've already voiced my disagreements/disappointments with Trump and this subject is one of them.

Nah.

The other day you said Trump shouldn't release the Epstein Files because too many powerful men are named and it will be too disruptive.

It's probably why I pointed to Kennedy to illustrate how this country capitulates and negotiates with world leaders we aren't fond of......

But Trump is in fact quite fond of Putin.
That's the difference you and the Republican Party refuses to acknowledge.

"The Original America Firsters were holding 20k strong Nazi Celebrations in Madison Sq Garden."

safely right under FDR's nose.

Fast forward to 2025.
They're safely in the White House.

Feel free to point out (with the statute) why Biden was never charged with classified documents in his garage and university office.

Great example of how you identify as a Victim Of Democrats.

"But what they don't get right is estimating accurately how much people really give a ---- about those facts."

^
Facts rarely change people's minds.

"Republicans are only hawkish on crime when it's black and brown people doing the crime."

"Well, they are 13% of the population doing 60% of the crimes."

Listen:

If whites were policed the same as blacks, if we moved police from black areas to white areas, those numbers would go down for the blacks and up for the whites.
Do you deny that?

And if whites were as poor as browns, the white crime rate would go up.
Do you deny that?

And if blacks were as wealthy as whites, the black crime rate would go down.
Do you deny that?

Or is your explanation for why blacks are so criminal, is because the black race is inherently inferior to whites.
Do you deny that?

That doesn't help the person at 11pm with a gun or a knife in their face.

But it does, by giving the person with a gun or a knife better things to do at 11pm.

You do realize that's a large part of why he got reelected, right? People in their right minds knew what that was. Now, ya boy Jack Smith is being investigated for his part in the BS. And I'm pretty confident that Trump will win his appeal sending you and Zed over the edge. You two will likely end up in a high security lunatic asylum.

So they didn't care about policy.

They only cared that Trump is a victim of Democrats.

Just like every Trump voter thinks Trump voters are a victim of Democrats.

Hey, I agree with you.

"How does this fantasy even make sense?"

Russian companies, operating in Alaska?

California chose to put into place a system that prevents gerrymandering.
I don't see how Newsom throws that out the window.

Do Roe v. Wade next.

Elections and baseless prosecutions have consequences.
#15 | Posted by Bluewaffles

Describe the consequences.
Is fascism the consequence you're referring to?
Thanks.
