LeviF Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Of all the cities impacted by climbing homicide rates since summer 2020, Jackson really stands out. Data is not easily available for every city but Jackson topped any other US city I've seen 2021 data for with 101 homicides per 100,000. I would guess that local prosecutors are powerless to enforce laws as written due to electoral issues. The elected DA having this in his "mission" section doesn't raise my confidence level much: Quote We seek to apply innovative policies that work to end mass incarceration and correct the wrongs of the past. "Innovative policies" like your first murder is free, evidently. The state government certainly has an interest in correcting this, and should do everything in their power to do so. I don't know what Mississippi government regs and laws are but some states can relieve local elected officials of their duties if they've proven to not be cut out for the job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid people supporting bad candidates is not a winning formula Despite his difficulties since he left office, about a third of Republicans and Republican-leaning voters still consider themselves supporters more of Trump than the Republican Party, according to a recent NBC News poll. Many of them aren’t going anywhere. Fully 28 percent of Republican primary voters are so devoted to the former president that they said they’d support him even if he ran as an independent, according to a national survey last month from The Bulwark and longtime Republican pollster Whit Ayres. Indeed, the “Always Trump” component of the party is so pronounced that it’s affecting how Trump’s opponents operate around him. “All these folks are just hoping that Trump’s going to have a heart attack on a golf course one day, and that’s going to solve this problem for them,” said Fergus Cullen, a former New Hampshire Republican Party chair. “Not much of a strategy.” Edited February 28, 2023 by redtail hawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge amounts of people on all sides of every spectrum have given up and dont trust establishment candidates. Its why the GOP chose trump over all those established tools. its how Obama beat Hillary in 2016. If the fear of the orange dude got 81 million to vote for the corporate failure that is biden, why would the left want trump anywhere but, on a ticket, or in the news? @redtail is that one of those trusted journalistic sites you mentioned?

T&C Posted February 28, 2023 Author Share Posted February 28, 2023 One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back. ~Carl Sagan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Lee says it would be “ridiculous” to conflate a recently surfaced yearbook photo of him wearing women’s clothing in high school to drag show performances currently under attack in Tennessee and other GOP-led states. Lee told reporters this week that he plans to sign legislation that would severely limit where drag performances can take place by banning “adult cabaret entertainment” that is “harmful to minors” from public property or locations where children might see the performance. When did dressing in drag become "Adult Cabaret Entertainement"? 2 hours ago, redtail hawk said: yes, there are stupid D's as well.

I know. all the ones that disagree with your opinions, must be dumb or someething SMH Have you ever dressed in drag? I have for a Rotary on stage fundraiser. One skit was Marv Alpert and the Tijuana Bras. One was tub thumpers wearing trench coats with women's underwear underneath. One member got thrown out cuz he had a stuffed beaver under his coat. I switched clubs after a year but they made tons of money for charity from that event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITs so much fun and keeps the morons out. local club near me puts on the Mr/MS southern tier drag karaoke. you wanna talk about a good time. We have a very popular cross dresser that reads to kids at our local library. (used to be the mayor, and Jim is an effing queen in the best way) dude isnt dressed scantily, but classy and doesn't make sexual jokes or statements as its children in the audience. its the kid/sexualization thing thats rubbing folks the wrong way.
