Lol. You said that people moving out wouldn’t affect crime rates in a downward direction. Yet people are obviously moving out and crime went down. Oof.

It's not a bad thing when used in DC. It's not a bad thing if governors use them for crime or whatever.

I don't want any president federalizing troops for common law enforcement in the states. That's not their job.

Certainly, even a puffed up fart such as yourself, malodorous and special, would have a moment of clarity that maybe attempting to invalidate the term “ urban chaos “ by posting a graph of declining murder rates would not withstand even basic scrutiny? And you are a lawyer? And people reach into their pockets and pay you for your services?

The Democratic Party most certainly benefits from urban chaos. Every single social pathology that thrives in the hood is to their benefit and ensures their control. Since Pat Moynihan onward, we’ve known the connection between Democrats and their ghetto client base.And we know that as that client base stays stagnant and desperate , Democrats stay politically entrenched. Oh, but you have a graph and a pie chart so excuse us.

and? Crime isnt static. And it trending down from historic highs, for whatever reason, in no way implies that it is no longer a serious problem. And it is certainly not evidence that left-wing leaders have suddenly become tough on crime. New Orleans is a good example of crime being down in the face of complete and utter inaction and incompetence by city leadership.

More leftist? yes. Cleaner? Not sure where you are getting that idea from.

His argument was they remain dangerous to remain more leftist. The literal opposite has been shown to be true.


His argument is that dems don't take unique, meaningful steps to fix the crime problem because the squalor benefits them. You can agree or disagree, but these leaders are saying, in no uncertain terms, that they intent to be lax on crime and reign in policing. That's not up for debate.

Is championing executive overreach a typical conservative value?

Oh STFU. No one complained, left or right, when Obama was deploying the guard all over the country -including DC- to clean up the goddamned riots started by left-wing agitators over a lie.

It will never be about facts with these people. It will be about some controlling the narrative so that the “people“ listen to only one side.

And they are the side currently in power who want to stay that way.

Control the message, stay in power.

I'll add one to that.

I also don't think it's a bad thing if governors or mayors refuse to cooperate with and instead deliberately impede the enforcement of federal immigration law.

But yes, that's my position as well.

Does the left claim to be liberal?

I'm not sure they even bother to do that anymore.

Obama federalized and deployed the guard all over the country or was it state governors who activated them to deal with the riots?

This opens the door for abuse by our government in the future. Will those who approve of this support it under a leftist president?

If we do not fix the causes of crime, then nothing will change.

Too bad that graph doesn't take into account dropped charges and releases and reduced penalties. Everything they can do to get them back out on the streets. Dems love getting the criminals back out in society as fast as they can.

Interesting. What if governors refused to cooperate with other federal laws like desegregated schools?

what a lazy response. No one complained about him deploying the guard.

But keep this up... Keep reflexively taking the wrong side of every issue. Its killing your party and we are all dressed and ready for the funeral.
