A lot of people are saying maybe we'd like a dictator

Whether the crime rate goes back up depends greatly on the judicial system.

The majority of the crimes are committed by repeat offenders. Eliminate no cash bail and don't go light on sentencing, and the crime rate hopefully will stay low.

This may also make others think twice about committing a crime when they see that they will not just get a "slap on the wrist". Originally Posted by Iceman

Sadly there's probably 5% or so that are bleeding hearts, and don't want to see a specific demographic of overpopulation in the penitentiary systems.

Me- I always say "don't do the crime if you can't do the time."

Also, pretty sure it's not a state.

Anyone arguing that violent crime is only a problem in "blue cities" can't be taken seriously. Another conversational waste of time in here, I see. Originally Posted by tommy156

Comparing it to east liberty or somewhere like that is a bit crazy, there is no comparison. One place is safe and beautiful, the other a dirty shithole.

Hell, per capita, I bet it's pretty close. Foolish to suggest violent crime only happens in cities.

Trump actually said.

“I have the right to do anything I wanna do. I’m the President of the United States.”

Sounds like something a dictator would say to me.

Trump Declares, ‘I Have the Right To Do Anything I Want’ Because ‘I’m the President’

Just one more example of trump pissing on the Constitution. And MAGA just shrugs and laughs that he's "owning the libs". UnAmerican. Dangerous. Willingly stupid.

White House Deputy Chief of Staff and Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller publicly labels the democratic party as a domestic extremist organization.

The same kind of language used to describe terrorist organizations like isis and al Qaeda.

When the political party in charge uses language like this against an opposition party we’re well on our way to a fascist regime.

He said.

“The Democrat Party does not fight for, care about or represent American citizens,” Miller said. “It is an entity devoted exclusively to the defense of hardened criminals, gangbangers and illegal alien killers and terrorists. The Democrat Party is not a political party. It is a domestic extremist organization.”


If the president isn’t a dictator he certainly wants to be one. And if our institutions and courts can’t limit his excesses we might not be able to recover from his regime.

Trump actually said.

“I have the right to do anything I wanna do. I’m the President of the United States.”

Another POS POTUS said the same thing: talk about 3rd person arrogance and stupidity. Likely will end the same way also. Well, not forgone conclusion, but should.






When you think about this- Nixon was less of a crook than Trump. He said he never profited from the presidency. That' he wasn't a crook. But yeah----Trump, Well, Yeah. HE has done both. Everything that is in his capacity to abuse power.

Dictator INDEED

I'd suggest familiarizing yourself with real, actual American history.

I wouldn't be so sure about the "vast majority of guns" being in red spaces, either. City people own lots of guns.
