Their insistence on defunding the police isn’t grounded in some idea to save money. It’s racially driven and the money taken from the police will not be saved, but instead rerouted to racial causes.

How do the same corrupt criminal morons that screwed the country up for the last 50 years suddenly have solutions to the destruction they all caused?

Can't remember who said it, but the guy said "things just haven't gotten bad enough". One day it will get bad enough and people will decide that government is not a panacea.

The not-so dirty secret is that the sewer rats in power, on the federal, state and even the local level, do NOT want to solve problems.

They want to keep the masses down and out, living in misery.

They lie and scheme all the time to make themselves useful in the eyes of many.

They divide us by class, region, country, and race.

It keeps them in power, it makes them 'relevant'.

They do this so they can live in their giant mansions, fly in their private Leer jets, sail the world on their luxury yachts.

They carouse at their exclusive parties for days on end, eat the best food in the world, they sip expensive wine and champagne while bemoaning the worlds problems.

They are scum like pelousy, obama, clinton, mcconnel, gates, ryan, zelensky...

Sadly, this type of behavior has been going on since the fall in Garden with Adam & Eve.

One day, the Righteous Almighty God will render judgement.

The ONLY salvation is through Jesus Christ.

May our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, have mercy on us all.

For 40 years I heard the same thing from the Republicans in the name of the War on Drugs. Stop pretending that it's only one side. All that money didn't solve a damned thing. The drugs won the war.


one example = ALL the other examples from the other side?

So I figured you're just talking about wasting money on government, and how we shouldn't do it. They never solve any problems, right?



haven't solved our problems =/= never solve ANY problems



See kids, don't be this intellectually dishonest, it is a bad look.

Modern US federal government primarily functions to the service and protection of itself and its own interests.

We yahoos simply help fund it so we remain useful in that respect and in turn we get to pretend we are represented.

Here's your quote:

quote:

It’s the same with the Dems. Decade after decade they advocate for more government and spending in areas like...crime... but their sollution never works.

So you say the Democrats both want to throw money at the crime problem, and at the same time take money away from the crime problem. And you also say it's not just the Democrats who want to just throw money at the government hoping to solve problems, Republicans do it too.

So the whole point of this thread basically seems to be:

Dear Facebook, today I'm mad at Democrats.

Correct

The fricking morons want to put a shite load of money in "restoration" programs and cut actual law enforcement, which the black community does not want.

I 100% wasn't trolling. You can track the downfall of the American middle class, wealth, and other indicators clearly to when Reagan fricked them up to serve the 1% and corporations.

While I agree with you, I also know that without govt and laws and regulations we would have destroyed the whole goddamn country by now. Have you seen your fellow American lately? Imagine them unchecked or regulated.

You could point to any number of large, American cities that have been under uncontested progressive rule for a generation. They are all shite holes and only getting worse.
