Yeah. They scream “kill the cops” while defiling the Capitol. And blame it on the Democrat Speaker. Can’t get much lamer.

So, send the guard to those other cities too?

I mean, here: [Hidden Content]

Here’s some more including property crimes. Notice how the ratio of violent crime/property crime has dropped over the past 8 - 10 years. I don’t see any indication of the catastrophe your demagogue spouts.

Here. [Hidden Content] I have no doubt you won’t accept my numbers. So, wherein lies the truth?

The Weasel has accomplished his task with you. Liberal = un-American. I made my claim based on the way you interpret law enforcement authority. You make your assumption based solely on my affiliation. That’s the kind of the kind of thinking authoritarians want their subjects to have.

I’m thanking you now. Keep me grounded, Boyz.

Back that garbage up, Dog, if you want to debate.

There is no national emergency. States have rights. That used to be a bedrock of the Republican Party. Federalizing local law enforcement is called martial law. If that’s what you want without emergency, you’re un-American.

Trump is a liar. Talk about ostriches!

Yes. He is a lapdog to a liar. Why trust anything he says?

But is it true?

Yes. Use the traditional Republican response. “Local control until we don’t like it”. Federalize it! The small government party goes large.

Yeah, boy. Let’s federalize all local law enforcement. Put the Guard to writing traffic tickets and responding to domestic violence calls. Head ‘em up, move’em out. Whomever Dear Leader says to pick up.

I dispute the numbers. Trump is a lying liar. He only uses numbers HE likes. To hades with accuracy.

Who know?

I am interested in your thoughts on Trump using import taxes for non-economic reasons

I’ve been there a dozen or so times over the last 25 years and never felt unsafe anytime anywhere. And I go off the beaten track when I travel. To call in the national guard is a stunt to make Trump either feel or look like a strongman. Again, I pity the fool.

Trump is a lying liar. He’ll have his little dictatorship now. I pity the fool who believes anything that man says.

Yeah, my guess is that the import tax monies will go to debt service just like lottery money went to fund public education in Texas. Not.

Infusing cash before having an idea of how tariffs affect demand could be risky. Lowering rates to help finance an import tax is injecting money that will have zero productivity value. Again, don’t see how taxing U S citizens to further international political agendas will end well. India because we want to two them where to buy oil, Brazil because Trump doesn’t like the way they’re treating Bolsonaro. That is not an economic plan.

You are one bloviating dude. Aggies said let the voters decide. I said that would take a constitutional amendment. The Constitution says either the Legislature or a 5 member board do it. You get it, now?

I’m talking emigration, not this blog.

What do you think civil disobedience is?

Maybe it’s the data collection system. Can you think in a non political way about anything pertaining to the federal government and its internal workings?
