yikes....if this is true...very damning indeed.


1) Still waiting on what Republican policies would fix this. 
 

2) no *****, it’s also five of the most populated cities on the planet. That’s like saying removing Buffalo from Erie County makes it the safest county in the country.

None of these five cities is in the top 10. Not one of these five cities is in the top 50. Not one of these five is in the top 100. Only one of these five cities is in the top 200, that being Chicago that comes in at, 198. LOL

murder rate is probably a statistical thing like per capita etc...I don't doubt this to be true for one minute.

How can republicans do anything if they are deeply demorat cities? If they did try they would be called

racists. C'mon, terrible deflection. Must have hit a narrative shattering nerve.

Republicans are terrible is the only move he has. The only thing he can do is keep repeating it.

proving once again that many voters have no clue how economics work.  Erdogan decreased interest rates to make credit affordable short term in the midst of crazy inflation - the opposite of what every other nation has done in similar circumstances.  What would have happened had the fed done this on the edge of a recession with high inflation?  Many voters here would also be happy but for a very short time period.  bread and circuses still work.

yes, pandering happens everywhere.  And I don't like it anywhere.  But what Erdogan has done has the potential to completely destroy his country economic foundation.  He's enacting a fundamentally undermining policy that he must know is going to hurt in the long term....

 

The attack on truth...there are still a few R's that recognize the concept.

We benefit from any policy that doesn’t result in default, which would cripple the global economy.

But you’re comfortable with pandering….lies…deceit when it suits you. 
 

That’s politics, really.  Same with Cheney, really, offspring of the former VP who fabricated intelligence (so they say) and presented it to the American people and sent American men and women to fight and die in a war for oil.  
 

Liz Cheney leveraged her name, wealth and privilege to get elected.  Her actions convinced voters it was time for her to go.  It happens.

u were hoping for a default then?

What a hack comment, we could easily service debt while lowering government spending. The only people who thought a default was possible have no understanding of economics or the way govt works.

If you mean make crime zero Republicans have none but if you mean improve the crime rate the two easy ones and to get rid of no bail on anything violent and dont punish people who are defending their stuff.

The people who make millions from the government spending are the experts you trust on whether government spending is good? Once again there is a huge swath of territory between the between what passed and an actual default, and the middle territory would be better for the vast majority of Americans.

I should have been more clear.  Her father was accused, she was not. Liz Cheney as the political paragon of virtue is pretty funny though.

I’ll keep right on saying it….all Trump did was restore the uppermost rate to the level it was when Obama came into office….while giving EVERYONE else a tax cut. Period!

Is such gold. You literally are using people like Trump as your source and then attacking them. How about use your own thoughts.

So you think Trump is an expert therefore you should be praising his tax cut, unless you are simply a political hack.

Lock up criminals instead of passing them through turnstiles.  The malls are becoming ghost towns. Turn them into jails.
