Entertainment figures have an impact on people, particularly young people. It is naive to suggest otherwise. If you grow up in a culture that glorifies NASCAR, for example, as a teenager you are probably going to be motivated to spend your money on a used car that drives too fast. If you grow up in a culture that glorifies gang banging, you're probably going to spend that money on a Glock with a switch.

The most famous black entertainment figures are Lebron James and Kevin Durant. They spend money on Glocks with a switch?

"Since Trump Federalized the DC Police August 11 and called in National Guard troops to clean up the capital's streets 630 people have been arrested in total, and 86 illegal guns have been confiscated."

Wonder how many of those same 630 criminals or same 86 illegal guns would have been arrested or confiscated had Trump not taken the measures he did?

1. They were arrested. They weren't convicted. You have no idea if they actually are criminals.
2. Arresting people is only a good thing if it's warranted. Otherwise it's tyranny. All that Don't Tread On Me bullshit from you guys -- it was all bullshit, right? You never ever ever cared about freedom. You just wanted to break the law without your white ass ending up in prison.

MEMO TO SCOTUS: literally your most important and most basic function is to prevent this.

Because if the president can declare an emergency on a whim and do martial law, and you decide that you can't question it, literally nothing else in the constitution matters. The whole point of having a constitution is to prevent martial law. And the whole point of having an independent judiciary is to prevent the constitution from crumbling under an aspiring autocrat.

Literally, Mr. Roberts, you are declining to do the single most important thing you are supposed to do, the single most important reason you have the elevated position you do. The only reason that you are allowed to decide that Christian schools must get funding if public schools do, is that we are counting on you to stop the president from destroying the Republic.

Let's take a look at the data. We'll start with counties, since listing most dangerous cities alone would be unfair to rural areas. The most recent data I was able to find on a county level was from 2017, but here are the top 10 most dangerous counties in the U.S. by homicide rate per capita, along with their racial demographics and their voting behavior in the 2024 Presidential Election.

1. Orleans Parish, Louisiana. 53% black, 31% white. Harris 82%, Trump 15%.
2. Coahoma County, Mississippi. 75% black, 20% white. Harris 72%, Trump 27%.
3. Phillips County, Arkansas. 62% black, 33% white. Harris 56%, Trump 43%.
4. St Louis City, Missouri. 42% black, 42% white. Harris 81%, Trump 16%.
5. Baltimore City, Maryland. 57% black, 28% white. Harris 84%, Trump 12%.
6. Petersburg City, Virginia. 73% black, 15% white. Harris 85%, Trump 13%.
7. Macon County, Alabama. 79% black, 16% white. Harris 78%, Trump 21%.
8. District of Columbia. 41% black, 39% white. Harris 92%, Trump 6%.
9. Washington County, Mississippi. 71% black, 25% white. Harris 64%, Trump 34%.
10. Dallas County, Alabama. 70% black, 27% white. Harris 66%, Trump 33%.

Now, if you go to the city level to look at the same statistics, you will see a very similar finding.

Why do you think black men commit a disproportionate number of the murders in USA?

Answer the fucking question.

You consider it to be a waste of taxpayer money to prevent people from suffering and dying of preventable diseases?

If you're a shit person just wear that. I personally would love it if more of my tax money went to preventing unnecessary suffering, both in America and elsewhere. To me, that is the least wasteful purpose to which my tax dollars could possibly be put.

It's certainly less wasteful than calling in the National guard to put on a puppet show in jack boots. That you can't distinguish the two is incredibly damning for you both intellectually and morally.

I think what he is saying is, sometimes you have to make a choice, a hard one, and if there are people in this country who need the exact same help as people in other countries and there is only so much money to go around, then the US's responsibility is to make sure our citizens are taken care first and foremost before we try to take care of anyone else.

We have more than enough resources to help Americans and other people in the world. Instead, it's wasted on stupid crap like this with Trump.

If we have all of these extra resources, how have we gotten ourselves 36 trillion dollars in debt? Are we providing any of these resources with borrowed money?

Are you another one who can't do basic arithmetic? I'll give you a hint as to what happens when you add negative numbers together for a while. They become a bigger negative number (technically lesser; the absolute value is bigger -- but I'm trying to keep it simple). Follow this chain of thought for a minute and you might learn something.

Ok then, ow many of them do you think would have been arrested so we can find out if they are criminals. The thing is, they can be proven as criminals and some punk ass liberal judge will release them right back on the street. That is how you find out someone who commits a crime has x number of violent felonies in their past only to be allowed to continue to walk the streets and victimize someone else.

He claimed he was to stop everyone from putting him on super-ignore at the outset. Many wise people put him on super ignore within a few days of the so-called "no, really I've changed" sob story as that how long it took to back into full troll mode.

After the defendant has been sentenced, the judge normally has no power to "let them walk the streets." That's up to the legislature and parole board. The judge has to abide by sentencing guidelines and mandatory minimums AND maximums.

Again you have no idea what you're talking about. It isn't a mystery how our system of government works. I don't know why you fail to understand the judicial role, but whatever, you do you.
