Chicago

How many shootings in Chicago over the past year?

Sure, there are nice parts of Chicago where wealthy people (largely of a certain demographic) can hole up. But much of it (largely containing another demographic) can only be described as a shithole.

If it's about poverty, why don't we see the same level of violence in poor rural white areas?

[Chris P]

It's anything but impressive, repeating the same fallacious arguments over and over in a monger forum.

Why do you keep doing it then?

[Chris P]

BLM and Anfisa still trying to burn down federal buildings in Portland.

Guessing you're a 90-Day Fiancee fan?

There are more people here "illegally" from visa overstays than from crossing the southern border. Why not fix that problem first? Maybe because lots of visa overstays are white?

What an idiotic non-sequitur. If you have a broken leg and a broken arm, and someone comes along to treat your broken arm, do you send him away because your leg is also broken? You're really not even making an effort any more.

I'm not going in circles with you

Sure, there's no need. We've established that no serious democracy anywhere in the world permits mass mail-in voting because it is so obviously fraudulent. The recent US election has proved the case. Good day.

[Chris P]

How do you pay your federal income tax? Is a photo ID required to do so?

It would be a pretty stupid fraud in which the "fraudster" ended up paying money to the government. But of course to collect welfare (as well as pretty much every other basic function of life) you need a photo ID. Just give it up, nobody believes your ridiculous argument. Any US citizen who is serious about voting has or can easily get a photo ID. Anyone who cannot get one is either not serious or (and this is why the democrats want to ban photo ID requirements) not a US citizen or otherwise ineligible (IE convicted felon).

Job growth per United States President.

Richard M. Nixon 1969-1974 - 2.25%.

Gerald AR. Ford 1974-1977 - 1.08%.

Jimmy E. Carter 1977-1981 - 3.06%.

Ronald W. Reagan 1981-1989 -- 2.06%.

George H. W. Bush 1989-1993 - 0.61%.

Bill J. Clinton 1993-2001 - 2.40%.

George W. Bush 2001-2009 - 0.13%.

Barack H. Obama 2009-2017 - 1.04%.

Donald J. Trump 2017-2021 - -0.51%.

If you want job growth, you need to vote in Democrats. Just the facts.

You forgot one thing. Employment records were set by Trump before the Chinese Covid shut down USA. Under Trump black, Hispanic, women and all minorities were had the highest number of jobs ever and unemployment for all these groups was at an all time low. Voting democrats basically will not bring these jobs back. That is a fact and you can check it on the US government statistics.

Biden has no plan for jobs but just makes up numbers like on the fake infrastructure plan of his. He claimed 19,000,000 new jobs and actually it was fact checked to 2,000,000. If he does nothing 2,000,000 new jobs will be created in next 4 years.

The Orange Menace decided to give Afghanistan back to the Taliban by May 1. Biden agreed, but decided to allow them to add insult to injury, offing more soldiers up in the longest running American folly. LBJ passed the baton to Nixon, not wanting a loss on his resume. Biden was dished up an economic and decades old political mess, and Mexico did not pay for the repairs to the existing fence. Valuable FEMA and pentagon funds paid for the repairs. This is a national security failure, some might say. Certainly a disaster preparedness mistake. Fat Nixon gutted agencies devoted to pandemic preparations, and ignored warnings former administrations, Clinton, Bush 2, Obama. The problems at the border did not start on January 20. The gangs did not suddenly come out of nowhere. Ms13 and others incubated in LOS Angeles, formed to protect turf. Now they are worldwide, with accountants and corrupt banksters doing their bidding. Just the gangs, both political parties are merely rivals, hungry for turf. Democrats, Republicans, just different sides of the same coin. Last November it flipped in favor of the Democrats.

George Floyd's death was an injustice. Two medical examiners ruled it a homicide. Are you saying that the black community should shut up about this and thus get respect?

"America always wins" No deep rooted flaws in American culture. No sir! "can't we all just get along?

America doesn't always win. Obama showed that and Biden is well in his way.

Biden First 100 days:

Border crises.

Russia looking to take more of Ukrainian land like they did under Obama.

Iran rapidly increasing their nuclear capability while Biden is kissing their ass.

China taking advantage of his so called ally Biden.

BLM and Anfisa still trying to burn down federal buildings in Portland.

America was winning under Trump but America is getting destroyed by Biden.

Just the facts. 😢.

I'm a busy to say the least but here's the Cliff Notes version. It's gangs and the drug trade behind the disproportionate amount of crime. And this is nothing new, and goes back to the early decades in America. At first it was largely the Irish then primarily the Italians in the 20's and 30's. There were high murder rates in certain areas just as there are now. People are born in impoverished and crowded conditions, are subjected to ethnic bigotry, get ambitious and look for ways to prosper. There's no quick fixes for these phenomenon, though the majority in the inner cities do not go the crime route. Even in the toughest areas like Detroit the unemployment rate is under 20%. Go to cities like St Louis or Baltimore, both which have individual median incomes close to the national average, and you are going to find a lot of hard working blacks, in banks, grocery stores, insurance companies, the electric authority, your Auto Zone stores, fast food and other restaurants, police, garbage collection, you name it. Then it's particularly laughable when one goes to calling cities like New York, Chicago, or LA, places with long rich histories and cultural activities galore "shit holes. " I can only conclude that they've spent little time outside their trailer parks, or have never cracked open a book.

Then the white community has it's own sets of problems. This would include their disproportionate involvement in white collar crime, the prescription opioid crisis, mass murders including school shootings, drug overdose deaths generally, and suicides. And of course there's the hatred based on myths and other lies found inside the heads or shit holes of violent white supremacists, who according to the DHS represent our greatest violent domestic terrorist threat. These are significant problems indeed that need to be addressed.

And what cereal box did you read that bullshit?

Here are a few links. Unfortunately, you won't believe them because (1) they aren't from Faux "News", OANN, InfoWars or any other rightwingnut source; and / or (2) Donnie the Dumba $$ didn't say it.

The most damning is the 3rd article.

But I don't expect you to read the links or understand them. All you'll do is say that they're "fake news" or "socialist websites" or some other equally ignorant remark.

There are more people here "illegally" from visa overstays than from crossing the southern border. Why not fix that problem first? Maybe because lots of visa overstays are white?

Five new female Supreme Court Justices could help cure the historic imbalance.

No, letting in hundreds of thousands a month (thus encouraging millions more) and paying millions of dollars for hotel rooms is not a better plan than building a big, beautiful wall so they can't get illegally in the first place.

They can file "asylum" claims in Mexico, which will be processed while they wait. Most of the claims are false but the difference is that once they are in the USA they disappear and never show up for court. And now Biden's handlers have hamstrung ICE and blocked deportations, there is no way to get rid of them even though they broke the law to enter illegally and under false pretenses.
