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

I wouldn't be so sure about the "vast majority of guns" being in red spaces, either. City people own lots of guns. Originally Posted by tommy156

And they do the crime.
... Clever of you to put that fact together...

That's why Trump wants to put a stop to the violence.

Lol. It's hilarious that you actually believe anything you type out in this forum. Oh, and could you please fit a few more buzzwords in next time? I haven't seen "ANTIFA" in a while, so thanks for that little stroll down Memory Lane

Tough to deny that coddling criminals leads to more crime.

Absolutely. Mayors, not governors, are responsible for policing and public safety in the cities they govern.

Governors are ultimately responsible for what happens in their state, but nice try.

You’re simply wrong. Governors are in charge of state police, they have no authority over day to day law enforcement in cities. They can have an impact through budgetary measures, but generally (depending on the state) there needs to be a declared emergency for state governments to wrest control of local police. Local governments, aka the mayor and his/her appointees, are who’s responsible for policing the type of crimes used to calculate the crime rates used in the previously posted statistics.

I don’t necessarily disagree with this. Maybe the governor SHOULD declare a state of emergency, but he’s beyond weak on crime. Unfortunately the choices have become either federal intervention, if they can find a way to legally do so, or let our cities become more of a bunch of shitholes than they already are. Ideally local officials would actually take measures to clean up their own mess, but they seem unwilling and/or unable to do so.

You mean like the National Guard can only be brought in to a state at the GOVERNORS request. Yep, you'd be right. All these other deployments are not only illegal, but false flags of emergencies.

Everyone with a half a brain knows it. Seems wearing a RedHat to long will kill those cells off quick

The FOX viewers here just don't know the truth from a hole in the ground......the same place their common sense fell into by voting RED.

You guys do realize that 10x as many counties in the country shifted red than blue and new registrations are phenomenal, in important places like PA and Arizona too. That’s a BIG chunk of cheese you’re biting into, might wanna join team sanity at some point instead of going down with the ship.

And you realize how trump's approval ratings have done nothing but plummet since taking office? He's not doing ANYTHING he promised. He's actively working to prevent one of his promises (the big one) from being fulfilled.

His economy is shit. He's illegally "ruling by decree". He hasn't done anything to lower prices. He just gave Putin another hand job in front of the world. He thinks he can send American troops in to invade... America.

Good luck with those midterms, lol.
