I am not even sure we are in the same book...

Gotta find some other scapegoat now!


For those who need scapegoats, of course. I didn't consider them a scapegoat, just a part of the larger problem. I hear about many large family gatherings, which can be verified by just driving around the area, and then lots of cases within that population area. That is part of the larger problem, too.

Most Democrats don't agree with that.


68% of democrats, favor redirecting funds from the police to alternative first responders, such as social workers, drug counsellors and mental-health experts.

de Blasio eliminated the NYPD undercover anti-crime unit, as gun crimes increased 350%, shootings were up 130%, and murders were up 25%. That unit was responsible for getting guns off the streets.

Think an undercover social worker could have saved this kid?

Come Election day, every one of those politicians who voted to cut the police budget will be re-elected, because democrats would rather watch their kids get shot dead in front of them before voting Republican.

How strongly do they oppose it?

Enough to speak out against AOC and the others strongly? Enough to support candidates against them?


No.

Despite driving the proposed Amazon headquarters and 25,000 jobs out of her own District, and NYC, AOC just crushed her well funded primary opponent by 52 percentage points.

Trump said, "I gave him everything he asked for. I gave him ventilators, masks, supplies, hospital ships, turned the Javitts Center into 1,000 hospital beds."

This is how de Blasio paid him back:



This was obviously done to troll Donny and get in his head.

And this would seem to indicate that it worked:

7 Billion?

I think it was a waste of money, and a publicity stunt (money could have been used to help people in need), but there is no way that figure is even close....

Not going to happen anytime soon. If you are moderate the Democrat Party will shut you out. It is owned by the leftist loons who want no cops and all socialism. The modern Democrat actually hates the USA and what it stands for.
The President is a fink.

This means a lot coming from a guy who calls any moderate republican a RINO.

The BLM protests did not lead to a spike.

Sorry righties.
Of course they didn't cause any part of the spikes anywhere in the country. That would change the narrative a bit and make the looters, rioters, and peaceful protesters part of the problem with the virus.

BLM protests didn't cause a spike? Might as well believe that the earth is flat as well. 😂😂
