I kind of agree with you. The feds should stay out of Illinois. They don’t have the right to interfere in your state. So let the bodies pile up in Chicago. It’s the price of liberty. But DC is another matter. The the feds have every right to eliminate violent crime there.

He got it half right. Warp speed was a miracle and saved a lot of people— almost exclusively, the elderly, chronically ill and obese. The mandates, however, were a disaster and completely unnecessary. Especially for young people.

Well, at least he’s getting it right now. I’m willing to forgive him.

There is really nothing to stand for. He is the dumbest major city mayor the country? He thinks affordable housing will solve the crime issue.

I think it might be the trans with the guns. Why not make it illegal for a transgender to buy a gun? Afterall they’re already on the mentally ill spectrum.

That just proves she’s never written a scholarly paper on economics. She’s unqualified and talks nonsense.
dougdl.bsky.social (@dougdl.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah, she’s black. But she also happens to be guilty of mortgage fraud and is unqualified. She’s never written anything on economics. Her one contribution to scholarship is on the effect of lynchings on government patents.

It’s the guns if the person is trans, progressive, a Trump hater. It’s ideology if the shooter happens to be right wing.

I see. You prefer the blonde, blue-eyed, white lady.
dougdl.bsky.social (@dougdl.bsky.social) reply parent
That’s kind of a weird take. The problem is we’re normalizing transgender people. That’s why we get so many of them. It’s a social contagion and a mental illness.
dougdl.bsky.social (@dougdl.bsky.social) reply parent
Transgenderism is a social contagion. And it’s also a mental illness. Don’t you think we should talk about their propensity for violence?
dougdl.bsky.social (@dougdl.bsky.social) reply parent
They make the argument that it’s the fascist on the left that want to take their guns away. Would you give up your handgun to the government?
dougdl.bsky.social (@dougdl.bsky.social) reply parent
How do you think we should change them? Assault rifles OK, eliminate them. We have handguns too that are just as lethal. And there is no way in hell I will ever give up my Glock to the government.
dougdl.bsky.social (@dougdl.bsky.social) reply parent
Only hysterical people believe that. These are the same fragile people who believe there’s genocide in Gaza.

Who cares? More people died in DC when Biden was president. How many people are shot weekly? We all know that a certain murder rate is acceptable if a city is to embrace progressive values.
dougdl.bsky.social (@dougdl.bsky.social) reply parent
Progressives believe is that a certain percentage of murders in minority neighborhoods are acceptable. It’s the inevitable outcome for having a more progressive society. For example, this is clearly the case in Chicago, Oakland and DC neighborhoods.

Biden dishonored them by getting their family members killed and then looking at his watch when their bodies were returned.

It’s not a great idea. They should just let Intel die and let more efficient companies like AMD pick up the pieces. But it was just as bad when Democrats did it. Remember Solyndra?

You don’t think a half $1 billion was a little excessive for the crime? No one was injured, no one was defrauded, the banks were paid in full with interest.

A regular person would never have been hit with a half $1 billion judgment. The court was right it was cruel and unusual citing the eighth amendment.

No one should be allowed to live on the streets. Most of them are mentally ill, drug addicts or both. So you force them into mandatory treatment. You don’t provide them with needles or “safe” places they can shoot up.

USAID is a horribly corrupt institution. It squandered billions. End it now and figure out a better way to help the most needy. Unfortunately they funded so many crappy programs that no one wants their tax money spent on.

I’m not sure I buy that. For one thing, seven figure net worth is nothing special. And they’re not gaining that much by moving somewhere else. Look at people who make seven figures per year. They could save 100,000 plus a year by moving from California to states with zero state income tax.

I’m not sure what the remedy is. There needs to be some kind of law-enforcement body. Does any other country do it right that we could replicate? There are predators that will prey on the innocent. Without a policing authority, everyone will need to be armed.
