    The same pent up forces that elected MAGA and his government of billionaire pillagers and looters....

    are responsible for most people saying

    "meh sucks for him, but whatever **** these rich guys"

    In response to a MR. ROBOT murder in broad daylight.

    The MAGA billionaire class will triple down on security now, but lol we live in the United States of Gun and it's their ****ing fault

    This is why I'm against making firearms like machine guns less available through expensive taxes that prices out most Americans.

    All it accomplished is wealthy people having all of them.

    It was Biden's family who sold access to the government to foreign actors for millions upon millions of dollars. That is looting. And that is why Joe Biden issued an 11 year pardon to his corrupt son in a flagrant abuse of power and insult to the legal system.

    Trump's team is looking to cut $2 trillion from annual government spending. That's the opposite of looting. That's restoring fiscal sanity and helping to bring down the inflation that Biden and the Democrats caused.

    Yeah I remember Trump cutting two trillion in annual government spending his first term. It is amazing you clowns actually believe him. He said he was going to decrease government spending the first time, but didn't. He just increased it.

    it might, but with no relevance to industry or profession. that space cadet who burned himself outside Trump's trial, then his attempted assasin in PA, that's the through line for this curren crop of white male crazy.

    My wife’s aunt has lived in Iraq, Lebanon, Tel Aviv, Sweden and the USA and she told me in all her travels and struggles… she can say without question that there is no force on this earth scarier than an insane white man…. Not the Muslims that tried to commit genocide, not the Israeli’s that tried to oppress her… not Nazi’s or communists are as dangerous as an insane white man.

    And yes, that is a USMC helicopter.

    Remember that the next time somebody says "Why do we have to have warning stickers on everything?"

    I will say that in my personal little world, the scariest thing IS a crazy, well-armed whiteboy. Or a pissed off 4-legged animal.

    But globally? Nah, not even close.

    I grew up in a very diverse and rough area. Not a safe white haven in suburbia. I can tell you crazy certainly comes in all colors. One race doesn’t have a higher level of crazy than another. People of all races have done unspeakably evil and/or crazy things throughout history. To be a grown man and think otherwise is astounding to me.

    Speaking of animals, since I did, got a horrible story about my neighbor this morning: he was replacing a gate 2 days ago, and a 2 year old bull decided to come up behind him and forked him in the back (6-8" horns), flipped his head up and threw dude about 10 feet in the air. He said 1st thing he landed on was his metal toolbox on his head, everything else hit rocks. When he got his wits together and wiped the blood out of his eyes, that animal was standing about 5 feet away just staring at him. 911 call, $11K ER bill.

    I grew up and have lived in a diverse world myself, but as I was saying, NOW I have different concerns.

    Hill Country.

    It's a bit scary if you think about it, you can forget at times (all mine are "friendly" and docile, no horns, we don't tolerate crazy s**t) just how large and strong animals can be, I mean a frikken sheep or goat can kill you if it wants to, I was walking, shoulder to shoulder, through a pen of 25 1500lb cattle earlier.

    Sometimes they'll start getting a bit rambunctious, and you always have to know the nearest exit (i.e. which fence can I climb over fastest)

    I grew up in a rural area in Germany. Some of those bulls are freaking massive.

    Where in Germany?

    I'm in Blanco and Burnet counties, to be more precise. Sandy and Doublehorn if you want me to be even more precise. Good luck finding them on a map!

    I know it's hard for people to believe but this is yet another stupid and misleading Xweet.

    Over the course of Dinkins’ term, crime dropped in nearly all major categories in New York, reversing a 30-year trend. Murders fell by 13.7 percent; robberies, 14.6 percent; burglaries, 17.6 percent; auto thefts, 23.8 percent.

    Dinkins put the planned transformation of Times Square into motion; rebuilt thousands of units of new housing in the South Bronx, Harlem and Brooklyn; and reduced the number of homeless New Yorkers to their lowest total in 20 years — and less than half the number today.

    https://www.politico.com/news/magaz...kins-the-right-mayor-at-the-wrong-time-445217

    I'm curious why so many folks like to pretend like crime was out of control while Dinkins was mayor. It was during his time as mayor that crime first started to fall.

    Poor guy got and is obviously still getting crap he does not deserve.
