    Where i live in Denmark violent crime is literally invisible. The issue has always been the guns. When I visit friends in Sweden they cant believe that Americans have to worry about their kids being shot in school

    What's inconvenient is you MAGATs not mentioning the loss of tax revenue from the deployment of the national guard as restaurant bookings are down 40% and nightlife is empty.

    Take Trumps nuts out of your mouth for once in your life while you cosplay as a "Moderate democrat" lmao

    I had a texas unc call me and randomly go on a long rant about Sweden recently. Some news outlets must be using Swedens issues with high crime rates amongst refugees as a talking point for US immigration laws.

    So just know, some Americans can't believe whats going on in Sweden either lol, even if their homicide rate is still 1/5th ours.

    Bro... sweden recorded the lowest number of homicides in a decade last year..... 92 people died from homicide in the entire country throughout the year and they have a population of 10 million. Houston by comparison had 323 murders with a population of 2 million...

    Reminds me of stories I heard about Poland in 1980ish, when Solidarity really started their activism and Martial Law was declared (as a preemptive move to keep the Soviets from invading like they did in Czechoslovakia/Hungary/etc).

    "The streets were really quiet...of course they were quiet before they put a tank in every public square."

    "I assume you don't have any pictures from then?"

    [laughing] "No...you'd get arrested for carrying a camera on the street."

    Fun Fact: the National Parks Service used to employ 200 people to maintain all the parks and monuments in the district; DOGE fired 90% of them."

    It's probably good that this 14 year old learns the lesson now... might save him from a much larger mistake as an adult. Looks to be a case of auto theft.

    It won't

    Family and culture are the teachers, not society

    Every white liberal who goes to the inner city with dreams of saving these kids and being the light comes out of it totally broken and hopeless

    Been seeing the same story for decades

    ok, someone here had the theory that strosb4bros and el conquistador were the same person. Have we ever had them reply to each other? Is this Kevin Durant arguing with himself?

    Trump applauds ‘very popular’ DC Mayor Bowser for crime decrease, calls on other blue-state governors to allow National Guard

    https://nypost.com/2025/09/01/us-ne...blue-state-governors-to-allow-national-guard/

    excerpt:

    WASHINGTON — President Trump praised DC’s Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser on Monday for cooperating with his administration’s deployment of National Guard troops to crack down on crime — before calling on blue-state governors to let him do the same.

    “Wow! Mayor Muriel Bowser of D.C. has become very popular because she worked with me and my great people in bringing CRIME down to virtually NOTHING in D.C.,” Trump posted on his Truth Social Monday.

    “Her statements and actions were positive, instead of others like [Illinois Gov. JB] Pritzker, [Maryland Gov.] Wes Moore, [California Gov. Gavin] Newscum [Newsom], and the 5% approval rated Mayor of Chicago, who spend all of their time trying to justify violent Crime, instead of working with us to completely ELIMINATE it, which we have done in Washington, D.C., NOW A CRIME FREE ZONE,” he added.

    You are posting articles supporting expanded use of Federal troops to expand power into local areas and have expanded executive power. Why?
