@EarlybscH@RealTrouble_Man Why do you people cite Iraq or Vietnam as examples of US or Western weakness? If we wanted to wipe them off the map, we could do it in an afternoon. Having the discipline to spare lives for narrow victories takes strength that the brown and yellow hordes can’t conceive of.
@GrantrGregory@SmashMemez Homicide rates have been decreasing from their Covid peaks in every major city. This chart only goes through August of 2025; there were 230 homicides that year. But if you want to give her credit for this trend, you should also credit her with the rise in blight and petty crime.
@GarethHanby@StarSpangelTx@bennyjohnson Things go viral all the time with nary a mention from the mainstream media. Case in point: the Nowak story. They did not have to breathlessly cover the Floyd killing like they did; they were pushing an agenda. We’ve seen this with countless cases now: Brown, Arbery, Martin et al.
@GarethHanby@StarSpangelTx@bennyjohnson What international significance did the Floyd incident have before the media blew it up into an international story? The media DECIDES what has significance. There are literally wars and natural disasters that have received less coverage than Floyd.
@GarethHanby@StarSpangelTx@bennyjohnson It was an international story because international news networks and publications made it one. Do you think there’s some arbitrary bar a story must clear in order for it to become “international?”
@VenusInFurz25@Tyler43284809@TheLaurenChen I’ve given you about a hundred reasons. The only reason you think otherwise is because you’re a sheep. You believe everything the herd believes, which is why you parrot lgbt, free Gaza, anti-Chauvin propaganda. It’s not your fault. Women rarely think for themselves.
@VenusInFurz25@Tyler43284809@TheLaurenChen Oh you’re still here? The jury was wrong. They’re wrong all the time. Chauvin did not plead guilty to murder, he later pled guilty to separate federal civil rights charges as part of a plea deal. What an awful mother you must be. Those poor little mutts. 😢
@GBriereGiroux@avidseries New York and London have been the world’s financial centers for over two hundred years, occasionally shifting top position. Before London was Amsterdam. These things do not change easily. Again, Texas and Miami are behind Chicago. Let’s talk if they ever catch up to it.
@VenusInFurz25@Tyler43284809@TheLaurenChen Then again, you presumably believe Gaza was some sort of unprompted genocide. In the end, your black pet is dead, Gaza is a waste of bone and ashes, and Trump is still your president. 😊 And I have a feeling Chauvin won’t be in there for too much longer. 😘
@VenusInFurz25@Tyler43284809@TheLaurenChen Oh good, so you agree the “experts” and jury can make mistakes. You keep citing the trial as if it’s proof of anything. Do you not have any common sense at all? Do you truly believe GF died from that tiny man’s weight alone, and the drugs weren’t a factor at all? Cope, indeed.
@GBriereGiroux@avidseries Fair. No disagreement from me on current trajectory, only sustainability. Decline and growth are unlikely to maintain at those levels for that long. But you never know!
@VenusInFurz25@Tyler43284809@TheLaurenChen Plenty of experts have argued otherwise. It was a politically driven sham trial and common sense says he obviously was not killed by the tiny man on top of him. It was the drugs. It was the resisting arrest. It was GF’s own poor decisions. Again I ask, was OJ innocent?
@claud334@SeattleIndepen1 Agreed about Reagan.
And the majority of visible homeless are addicts who don't want to get clean. I'm not terribly sympathetic to their wishes. There are obviously shelters available or we would see more women and children on the streets. But yes, we should build more.
@VenusInFurz25@Tyler43284809@TheLaurenChen There have been a quarter million fent deaths since 2021. Most of those were caused by respiratory depression which can cause cardiac arrest. The man was screaming that he couldn't breathe (an action that involves breathing FYI) long before he was moved to the ground. He OD'd.
@claud334@SeattleIndepen1 Of course we can. We have loitering laws. You can't just camp out on a train car or sidewalk to the detriment of taxpaying citizens. I'm not talking about a homeless person sitting on a bench for a few hours. It's been solved in Beverly Hills, surely LA and others can do it too.
@VenusInFurz25@Tyler43284809@TheLaurenChen Fentanyl doesn't stop the heart? Shoot, all those fent users whose hearts stopped will be thrilled to hear it. And it wasn't just fent he was on, as we've been over, and you conveniently ignored.
Do your children ever see their father?
@claud334@SeattleIndepen1 I would agree to that. But is NYC, for example, really lacking funding? It has the highest municipal budget in the country, maybe the world. It's about priorities. Many Dems would rather house illegal migrants, and allow vagrancy than maintain the city for their constituents.
