Unless you keep on talking about the Jeffy you seem to wish you could have been. So weird. Some of a lot is far less than a lot of a little. I feel like you were on the verge of changing hearts and minds as it relates to The Files and now you’ve backed off a little. I would like to see a little more commitment out of you.That’s all I’m saying.

leh-nerd skin-erd Posted August 14 Posted August 14 59 minutes ago, SectionC3 said: I believe in paying one’s fair share. You believe in shifting the tax burden to the middle class and hoping wealth trickles down from the super wealthy. Throwing out platitudes like 'fair share' works in a room of like-minded liberals, but it means nothing, says nothing, and actually accomplishes nothing. Weasel words, nothing more. You want someone else to shoulder your burden. I understand that. You use the language of one who sees themself as a perpetual victim, I don't understand that. Instead of jawing around here with me, you could be doing more for the middle class, paying more toward the greater good, or appealing to the super wealthy who use the same phony language as you do to dig deeper and pay more. Yet...you fair share truthers never seem to get around that. 1

Or is that just for insurrectionists (and, to be fair, Hunter Biden)? Not smart "Insurrectionists" spent three YEARS in prison under the prior Communist regime, some of them for like "walking around" Get out of your Liberal news cycles, your violent criminals spend zero time in jail.

In my neighborhood there are a bunch of people who bought them for their children, myself included, and not one has been stolen in our area in the past 6 years. In fact no card have been stolen in my area, which must be because all of the cars were built better, right?
Andy1 Posted August 14 Posted August 14 5 hours ago, leh-nerd skin-erd said: I'm chill like Dobie Gillis, though sorry if that came through harsh. I wasn't looking to offer emotional accusations, I'm always troubled when certain posters on the board accuse people of being in cults, of cultish behavior, or cult-like mindsets because of fundamental disagreements on politics. I'm certainly not suggesting that was you, Andrew🤔, this whole accusations of being in a cult thing, but I understand where you're coming from. In response to your question, I think Trump sees the opportunity to score political points by cleaning up the nation's Capitol. Violence in cities is not a new thing, this is true. I feel like data suggests that DC is not just some city dealing with random skater bois spraypainting business, I think it's worse than that by quite a bit. With regard to precedent, I did some quick research and cannot find a time where an administration sent the DOJ on an armed raid on the dwelling of the opposition in relation to a a former C-i-C holding classified documents. I know there was a candidate just prior who was exceptionally careless with our nation's secret who was treated differently, and a short time after the armed raid at the former president's residence the current president was found have absconded with material and data pilfered over several decades, and of sharing secrets with a ghost writer who subsequently destroyed material potentially germane to the investigation. That president was treated to ice cream at his favorite ice cream store. I also know there isn't a ton of precedent in one admin looking to imprison an opponent for actions that seem to be pretty common in Washington. Hell, it's been said Bush fabricated intelligence to engage in a foreign war, Clinton committed perjury (and engaged in predation) and they're thick as thieves these days. One guy paints at his ranch in Texas, the other guy most recently stumped for Harris. With respect to precedence, I know that post 1/6, the FBI/DOJ scoured the earth and spent extraordinary time and money looking for people--some they absolutely needed to find, some basically guilty of trespassing. I'm not certain that's the standard in cities and towns across the country. Your suggestion about meeting with city leaders is all well and good, but that represents a stylistic approach he simply doesn't prefer to take. Besides, city leaders seem to be the problem. I’ll admit to occasionally referring to people in the cult. It’s a personal failing of mine and I’m trying restraint on that. One of my pet peeves is that it’s all too common here on PPP to assume someone supports whatever the bozo or ex-bozo in the white house is doing, just because they identify with their party. I’m guilty too. The reality is that we all just cast our vote with whoever we think might be best. Then the bozo gets in there and does all sorts of stuff we as individuals may or may not be 100% crazy about. Each of us are more complex than simple presidential agendas and issues are often far more nuanced than presented in the news. Often, we only know one side of an issue while someone else sees the other side. Addressing crime in cities is a complex problem. By most accounts, crime is falling in cities. Trump wants you to think crime is out of control and rampant in blue cities to justify his strongman policies. I’m not sure if DC is following this general trend, but there is still good reason for restraint when deploying troops. Policing is a very difficult job requiring knowledge of law and civillian rights. Troops do not have the same training. They legally get 30 days to try this out. Let’s see how residents of the city like it as it’s their community.

And if you and the previous owner(s) have less than 80,000 miles on your car yall have polluted less than those people in their shiny new Teslas (or other electric cars driven <80,000 miles).

And the mayor has been shutting down 2 to 3 encampments a month in Seattle. It's not hard to close these things down, but what then? If you don't have a plan on what to do with the people it becomes a whack a mole problem. We don't have shelter space for them all. We don't have enough jail space and we don't having mental institutions to put them in. I hope President Trump has a good plan for this.
B-Man Posted August 15 Author Posted August 15 WHEW — GOOD THING TRUMP STEPPED IN TO RUN THE CITY, THEN! D.C. Mayor Heads to Martha’s Vineyard as Trump Takes Over City. Mayor Muriel Bowser’s office confirmed reports on Thursday that she left D.C. for Martha’s Vineyard. “The mayor has a family commitment and had to pick up her daughter. She will return to the District tomorrow,” her office said in a statement to ABC News. Bowser’s trip comes amid Trump’s attempt to wrest control of D.C. from the local officials duly elected by its already disenfranchised population. The city this week has been swarmed with federal law enforcement conducting a performative shock-and-awe operation on the orders of the president, who on Monday signed an executive order declaring a “crime emergency” despite violent crime being at at its lowest point in decades. The order also authorized a 30-day federal takeover of the city’s police, and the deployment of hundreds of National Guard to the nation’s capital. https://ca.news.yahoo.com/d-c-mayor-heads-martha-202020099.html? 1 1

I will admit that you didn’t have to admit it because I read your posts.🍺 Beyond that, I think you’re spot on with your thoughts here. I’ll repeat something I haven’t said in a while—in my day to day, I interact with all sorts of people with all sorts of political views and we get along just fine. No shouting matches, no major hostility, and certainly no one declaring I’m in a cult. I’ve mentioned I met former NYS Governor David Patterson—who struck me as a good and decent guy who felt the way he felt and told me why. No deep politics discourse, mind you, just a guy telling me his thoughts because I asked. 12 hours ago, Andy1 said: Addressing crime in cities is a complex problem.

Let’s see how residents of the city like it as it’s their community. I watched a clip from the Scarborough this morning. I don’t think crime is under control in DC, and read a separate account of a lady who was sexually assaulted who was advised certain crimes are not reportable unless they meet a threshold. I would not be surprised in the least to hear the books are cooked, not unlike your concerns that Trump is using the crime issue as a political tool. When in doubt, I’ll lean toward safety of citizens. Have a good day, Andy! Edited August 15 by leh-nerd skin-erd 1

Roundybout Posted August 15 Posted August 15 It never fails to amuses me that a core tenant of being a MAGA is being openly terrified of cities. Bunch of fake masculine wannabes.

AlBUNDY4TDS Posted August 15 Posted August 15 I find it funny that roundy calls out maga masculinity while openly cheering for violence to law enforcement and ice. Seems like the type of guy I'd want to emulate.
