My days of investing for profit are basically over. I (we) am (are) retired on a fixed income, a 6-figure fixed income which is for the most part guaranteed for life.

...A viral meme shared on social media following the Parkland, Fla., shooting claimed the United States has the third-highest count of murders worldwide, a ranking that would drop dramatically if five major cities were excluded.... Originally Posted by Dev Null

When have you known me to meme or use memes? I read boring stuff. I do not recall the source of my claim at the moment (I vaguely recall there being 7, not 5) cities such as Chicago, Baltimore, LA, Newark, DC, Atlanta and one other (maybe Miami?). As time allows, I'll dig it up again. I am curious to see how they factored the inclusion/exclusion of the entire city's population when the city's homicides were excluded.

But thanks for verifying that the largest, long term Demonicrat controlled cities, with the strictest gun control measures are responsible for a disproportionately out sized amount of homicides, not to mention the inherent risks of gun-free zones. As a pro-tip; never rely on UN data when it involves the USA and guns. Those tards cannot stand the idea that we have a strong 2nd amendment. Dunno why exactly. Might have something to do with guns behind every blade of grass or some such. Plus, they wear blue helmets. How hard are those to spot from a few hundred yards out?

The original source of your bullshit claim was a social media meme. The numbers you mentioned were a direct match. If you did not see the meme personally but came by that misinformation from some other nut-case who saw it and repeated the phony statistics to you, then I stand corrected.

But that doesn't change the fact that you're a gullible fool deserving of ridicule because you didn't bother to fact-check the obviously preposterous numbers.

Most major cities have higher murder rates than rural areas. Big cities also have more gang warfare and attractive targets for armed robbery. Do you regularly hear of a drive-by shooting in the corn fields of Kansas or someone robbing a grain silo?

Cities also have more jobs for college graduates, who also skew more liberal. I'm sure you'll blame that on liberal indoctrination in elitist universities. But maybe college graduates are just more accustomed to applying reason and factual knowledge in their day-to-day life, and that habit spills over into their politics.

You might take a page from their play-book, even if you arrive at a different conclusion. If you dazzle us with brilliance instead of trying to baffle us with bullshit, even if you are still wrong, you would at least be more credible and less ridiculous.

When it comes to politics in reference to white women, historically they have made questionable decisions....I'll give you two:

1. Women's suffrage movement. Right before the law passed granting women the right to vote, white women were talking with the powers that be to compromise in that only they would be granted the right and not all women.

2. Female feminists...again same concept.

So when over 50%+ white women voted for Donald over Hillary (btw I didn't like either option) they can not be mad when Chumpy is allied to those that will restrict their pro-choice rights or repeal back restrictions toward the LBGTQ.

3. Forget not the perennially effervescent Ms. Margaret Sanger. She was a white chick.

Trump likes to brag that he got 52% of all women's votes, but even the statistic of 52% of white women is highly questionable. The number came from 2016 exit polls, which are notorious for self-selection bias.

Exit polls are based on the response of voters who choose to interact with pollsters at the public polling place and reveal how they cast their secret ballot.

Enter the Pew Research Center:

https://www.people-press.org/2018/08...idated-voters/

The analysis in this report uses post-election survey reports of 2016 vote preferences (conducted Nov. 29-Dec. 12, 2016) among those who were identified as having voted using official voting records. These voter file records become available in the months after the election. (For more details, see “Methodology.”) Among these verified voters, the overall vote preference mirrors the election results very closely: 48% reported voting for Hillary Clinton and 45% for Donald Trump; by comparison, the official national vote tally was 48% for Clinton, 46% for Trump.

According to this more scientific poll, 54% of women overall voted for Clinton and 39% for Trump, a clear majority.

Among white women, it was 47% for Trump and 45% for Clinton. Still a plurality for Trump, but not the slim majority that Trump likes to gloat about.

You can draw your own conclusions about whether anyone has the right to complain about specific policies, but it seems like that's covered in the First Amendment.

Only column I can guess posting to this thread are the ones in the 64%.

I think somebody needs a .......hobby

So let's take stock of the situation.
Fake Pres ( No Majority ) Chump is now our source for news , that is the "real news" as opposed to the supposed "fake news" which is comprised of historically all the legitimate news sources.
He also is serving as our "Intelligence" agency. Doing away with the FBI,CIA,etc.
He is also heading up the " Dept of Justice " meddling in it's sphere.
He is also doing same in the Judicial branch via the courts of law.
If he gets another term we won't need any government. We just have the Chump for everything.

In case you were unaware she LOST. If you wish to assume that history repeats itself, based upon demographics from 4 years ago, he will win again. Wonder what happens if he improves his numbers by a few percentage points across multiple demographics? Not to mention, the Demonicrat problem of the current slate of candidates, featuring the top 3 candidates having those dreaded Demonicrat paradigm issues of old, rich, white, guys. We know how much they demonized them in the past.

What does Hillary Clinton have to do with anything ? She is history.
Chump is an old,rich,white,guy.
I'm not speaking towards appointments ; I'm speaking toward his over-reach into areas of government historically left to be somewhat autonomous.

Well she keeps killing off people so theres that..
