@theresaopines @SheriffChitwood 3 strike laws would do miracles in reducing violent, property, and even petty crime. But we will never be able to have it again because it would "unfairly impact minorities"

@DropOrStart @allenanalysis Debate and criticize bad ideas/execution, give credit for good ones. It's pretty easy

His "abolish prisons" - bad
His "prioritize infrastructure repair" - good
Gov grocery stores - bad
Relentless energy and genuine care he has for the job - good

[D @dt_tby]

@DropOrStart @allenanalysis Lmao bruh
While I generally disagree with a lot of his platform, that doesn't mean I think he's a bad person
And he has done a few things I actually do agree with
Infrastructure is a core part of gov responsibility. If he's flexing leadership to expedite repairs, good on him

@tory_hicks_ @nico_1771 @JackThompsonFOX "feeding it to you"
You're right
I've absolutely not witnessed, firsthand, progressives protesting/marching for trans nonsense in the city I live in
I've definitely not listened to Dem Politicians pushing trans "equity" legislation
Absolutely made up propaganda. How did you know

[D @dt_tby]

@tory_hicks_ @nico_1771 @JackThompsonFOX The problem is the leftists are leading the train on this issue
This is at least an 80-20 issue. If most liberals are not in favor of trans in sports, why is there such a dialogue about this? Why are so many NBA coaches speaking in support? The leftists are leading the march here

@celts548 @DropOrStart @mcuban @grok an additional $1,400 per year
Disbursed among all items they sold all year? Not gonna make a difference at the register to the customer
Revenue of $83 billion last year, net profit of $217 million. 0.26% profit margin. Fold the CEO pay back in & it's still 0.26%
You're illiterate

[D @dt_tby]

@celts548 @DropOrStart @mcuban @grok The highest compensated CEO in that article of a purely grocery chain, made $3.3 million in cash. The rest was stock options which would do nothing for bottom line at the register.
Even if you took that $3.3mil to zero & distributed it to all 2,250 stores, each store gets (1/2)

[D @dt_tby]

@DropOrStart @celts548 @mcuban @grok If for-profit stores that WANT to make a profit, barely survive on 1-3% margins, ask yourself how a store that is going to cost far more in labor/gov red tape/etc can afford to offer products 30% off
Every single place this has been tried in the US, it has been a colossal failure

[D @dt_tby]

@celts548 @mcuban @grok You're a moron. Grocery stores operate on razor thin margins. 1-3% after all expenses are taken out.
On top of only turning a small profit, they employ tons of people and generate a huge amount of tax revenue
Gov run stores not only add nothing, they actively cost everyone

@madsolarwzrd @Austin_Police Has nothing to do with APD. Blame criminal coddlers DA Jose Garza, CA Delia Garza, and the sorry excuses for judges we have here that release these pieces of shit daily.
Follow @AustinJustice if you want to learn more. Fair warning, it will make you angry

@DiagonalPrysm @TheOrderofRight @elonmusk @TheChiefNerd Lmao. How do you prove you are the person that qualified?
Voter ID is the same. You have to show evidence you are the person who qualified to vote under your identity
Also
If requiring ID to vote disenfranchises minorites, then requiring ID to buy firearms does the same. RaCiSt

[D @dt_tby]

@SearchFantasy @B1OBEY0ND @BrendanScoutsNJ He got a vague report about "something weird but not sure what I saw" going on with a guy he knew and trusted for 20+ years and still reported it. Benefit of hindsight sucks hard but it's not like he had evidence and purposely looked the other way
(2/2)

[D @dt_tby]

@SearchFantasy @B1OBEY0ND @BrendanScoutsNJ This retelling is wrong though. Mcqueary told Joe he didn't know what he saw, just something that looked weird.
Joe told his superiors, one of whom oversaw the campus police. So he did go to the cops.
The whole "he knew kids were getting abused and did nothing" is false
(1/2)

[D @dt_tby]

@mccall213 @tomselliott @abbydphillip I can't believe more people haven't made this same argument. If requiring ID to exercise the constitutionally protected right to vote is discriminatory to minorities, then requiring it for 2A is as well. Either they both are or neither are (the answer is neither)

[D @dt_tby]

@Squilliam_Speed @AustinJustice You have an expectation of privacy in your home.
There's no legal expectation of privacy on a public roadway. In fact, anyone can record anything and anyone they want in public
Your tongue-in-cheek example is in bad faith and falls flat on its face

[D @dt_tby]

@EricLDaugh If requiring ID to vote is discriminatory...is requiring ID to purchase a firearm not also discrimination? If the argument is that minorities and women can't get IDs, and that's why we can't require them to vote, then how is requiring ID to exercise the 2A not also discriminatory

[D @dt_tby]

@NYCMayor So the thing that makes NYC the "greatest city on Earth" is...embracing people from other countries that come here and are a net negative economically?
US immigration policy should serve the interests of the US. Someone being a net drain on resources is the exact opposite

[D @dt_tby]

@AutoBuzzati @lamps_apple You just pretending like income, sales, property, etc taxes (even though they're obscene in their modern state) are the same as a wealth tax?
Wealth tax (confiscation) is beyond reprehensible
Not to mention Israel (which is FAR from perfect) is a net positive Intel benefit to us

[D @dt_tby]

@Savsays @Rach4Patriarchy The problem is more the District Attorney and County Attorney that downgrade felonies, miss filing deadlines, and promote "equitable justice" for a living
Hard for cops to be successful if the disruptive, homeless person they just arrested is out before their shift is even over

[Robbie Hendricks @robbiehendricks]

Let me tell you something, comrade.

No American thinks we are exceptional because we are richer, stronger and more powerful than everyone else.

We are exceptional because we are American. It is our value system that built wealth, strength, and power.

It was the American values etched into the souls of generations of people in this country that built what we have today.

Those values are something you clearly cannot understand, or you choose not to, because they would require you building something of your own.

Our nation was founded by people who simply wanted a chance to build something for themselves.

It wasn’t about being richer than others. It wasn’t about being more powerful than others. It wasn’t about being stronger than others.

It’s certainly wasn’t built on what you propose, this hideous belief that you or anyone is somehow entitled to what other people built.

That is the antithesis of America. Your ideas would have been laughed out of America 250 years ago. You ran an entire mayoral campaign on seizing assets from others.

The sheer concept of expecting the government to force hard-working people to feed, house, and fund other able-bodied men and women would have been roundly ridiculed.

In fact, that is why people migrated to America. It was about freedom.

They fled oppressive government, they fled the type of tyranny you are promoting. Where their work was not theirs, where the fruits of their labor were taken from them.

They fled here not expecting a handout, but simply hoping for a chance to build something on their own. A chance to bet on themselves.

That dream is still vibrantly alive today for the those that choose to work hard and pursue it.

You, of course, sell that it is not possible. That it is a zero sum game. That the success of one group must therefore be at the expense of another group, which is a disgusting lie disguised as “promoting fairness”.

That is the opposite of our American value system.

In America, we believe in abundance. We believe in hard work. We believe in merit. We believe in earning things. We believe if you learn, work hard, and do your best, doors will open. And they do. Every time.

Those beliefs are what made America exceptional, and that is why America continues to be the greatest country in the history of mankind.

All despite men like you.
