Amen!

Republicans said Trump was referring to Milwaukee "crime rate".

That's funny considering Trump is a CRIMINAL who made millions committing fraud, stealing, cheating, scamming, illegal RE deals and money laundering for the mob.

Can't wait to celebrate Biden's victory wearing this funny and clever anti-Trump t-shirt on November 5th! 👇🤣

I read somewhere that Donald had to go to the Parole Office. Does that mean he is free? Out on Parole? If Donald is treated better than others who have committed the same crimes, then I say, let everyone out of prison. It's not far to punish others and not Donald.

The thing is that , yes there is crime and crime rates have significantly decreased in every State ; Well, except the RED ones.

I cannot in good conscience lower myself to your level of psychological projection and spreading misinformation and disinformation. You can break down the facts here. Blue vs Red states and cities on the UCFR.

Weird how that works. Red states put out the actual crime rate while blue states have progressive DAs that don't prosecute criminals, hence the "decrease" in crime rate. It's amazing how that context works.

In what world do DAs in blue states not prosecute criminals? I've sat on three juries AND I worked as a newspaper reporter exclusively covering criminal court cases in Essex County, NJ. You're making this up out of whole cloth.

Interesting. I see your point, but that's one DA in one city. Even more interesting, tho, is the post you deleted that still ended up in my inbox, loaded not only with inaccuracies, but also a personal attack on my appearance. Of course, you yourself hide behind an orange dot and your first name, but I digress. Let's review... You said, "I look at your profile pic, and I automatically guess that you're 'vote blue no matter who.'" Why? Because I'm bald? Wanna take a stab at why that is? Or perhaps you guessed and you went there anyway. Anyone who fires a personal dig as a tool of debate doesn't have much confidence in his arguments. But regardless, thanks for reminding me of my illness. Well done.

Not too crazy about the fact that you’re pushing a T-shirt to make some money… Or maybe someone else makes that money? I don’t know… I see it as blatant advertising.

Trump pushes anything to make money right down to the suit he was wearing the day he was arrested in Georgia,and you people say nothing about that! He sells the King James Bible of which he's never read or has stepped one foot in a church,begged for money every step of the way because he is nothing but a liar,rapist,fraud and a grifter!!! You people are to damn dumb to see it and that's what he counts on!!!

Huh? I despise DJT

Expand full comment

It's always a give-away when anyone uses the phrase "you people." It's dehumanizing. And then this particular poster follows it up with an ad hominem attack: "are to [sic] damn dumb."

What it means is that we can discount this guy.

For the record, as a New Yorker, I always despised Donald Trump -- when I bothered to think about him. Then when he ran for president, I saw all that crude bluster and boasting winning the day, and I fell into a four-year funk.

Despite 2-3 things he did as president that I appreciated, including his policy towards Iran.

But now, in the last couple of years, I am reserving my fury for the progressive socialists who are driving my city down the tubes. There is no position they take that I can agree with.

Expand full comment

I would advise you continue your fury for Trump or there will no longer be any progressives for you to be furious with. If Trump wins, Democrats will die. It's that simple. If you don't believe me, watch a Hitler documentary and cringe at the Third Reich similarities to Project 2025. That said, I fully suspect you're a troll.

It's the votes outside the cities that Biden has to worry about...I live in the PNW, but spent my childhood in rural Wisconsin where my mother's family settled before the Civil War. My mother was born in a log cabin with a dirt floor in Soldier's Grove, Wi. Those people were the salt of the earth and didn't suffer fools gladly in the 50's an 60's during my time there. I cannot imagine that they would ever vote for someone like Trump.

So you think she would vote for Hunter's entourage instead? What would your mother say about indelicately murdering innocent children...who think and know the pain of literally being sawed into pieces...what would she say about people crashing into her home just because they are immigrants? What would her reaction be to find 105% of eligible voters are mailed ballots? And 120% of those voters voted and their ballots were counted weeks later after the election? The people who were born on dirt floors in my area are aware. Yes, I had a neighbor who had nine children born at home and the home had dirt floors. No car or vehicle, just a horse and mules.

I gather you’re against abortion.

The anti-abortion folks tell us an abortion is never needed. They are wrong. Abortion bans disregard the life of women with fatal fetal abnormalities whose own lives are endangered by the fetus that cannot survive. These women are being denied life-saving care until they are nearer to death. To be clear, whether the woman has an abortion or not, there will be no baby resulting from this pregnancy. It is the life of the mother that is at risk in a doomed and dangerous pregnancy.

Consider my husband’s experience when he went to the hospital emergency room. The doctor diagnosed him with an inflamed appendix and told him it needed to be removed. (The same way the women were told their fetus was in distress and could not survive.) So the medical professionals promptly prepped my husband for surgery and removed his appendix. (The women were denied an abortion to safely end a pregnancy that could not produce a surviving baby.) My husband didn’t have to wait until his appendix burst and blood poisoning (sepsis) began to spread throughout his body. He wasn’t told to go home and wait for his appendix to burst, until he was closer to death. Nope. The well-trained doctors and staff set right to work and removed the part of his body that could kill him if it remained in his body. (The woman may not have been told they needed an abortion, because in some states it’s illegal to tell them anything about abortion or help them leave the state for care. Texas has a bounty hunter law that allows anyone to sue someone who helps a pregnant woman get an abortion and receive at least $10,000.)

My husband’s situation was no different than the horror stories we’ve heard about Amanda and all the other fine women who wanted to be pregnant but something went wrong and their fetus couldn’t survive. Granted, my husband wasn’t going to deliver a surviving baby, but none of the ladies would be either. The only difference is that the woman were denied an abortion, the medical treatment they needed because there’s a law that threatens to punish and imprison doctors if they treat pregnant women, even when their pregnancy is doomed and dangerous.

The abortion bans put women at risk. But the lawmakers hear these horror stories and do nothing to fix it. Clearly, lawmakers cannot be trusted to protect pregnant women. You now who can be trusted? Women.

We trust women to raise children. Women should be allowed to make their own reproductive healthcare choices, to decide when, and if, they have children. No woman should be forced to give birth.

Expand full comment

No, a child is not another appendix, it is a child. Sheer numbers of these children butchered or poisoned precludes only rare conditions. One of my best friends was aborted....but she lived and is a mother to her own biological and literally twenty plus children adopted or fostered..very happy children.

I grew up a Midwest neighbor, from the Chicago area, and loved visiting Milwaukee, a wonderful city on our shared Lake Michigan; so much to enjoy including great restaurants. Some of the best ethnic German ones, for best taste of sauerbraten, roladen, weinerschnitzel, and oh those October Fest Celebrations, with bratwurst & Lager beer, without having to fly all the way to Munich. A rollicking good time. For sophisticated tastes, plenty of elegant, fine cuisine.

Foolish, clueless Donald. Every seasons has its appeal. Warm - sailing on Lake Michigan, many water sports, so many bays & lakes nearby. Fall & winter-Football’s a big draw in Wisconsin, other team sports, ice hockey, skiing, haven’t even started on cultural events. Not far is Lake Geneva….

And as an adult, I preferred flying in & out of Milwaukee’s Airport when I traveled, if I could. With family in the area, after I retired to AZ, lucky me, there were more opportunities to fly to Milwaukee. A lot to love in our America’s Midwest. Any candidate for President needs to love all of America’s regions fine qualities, not be so immature, limited and unsophisticated he or she’s incapable of this.

OUR descendants will breathe clearer Air, drink clearer water, drive across safer bridges onto better streets, travel via safer rails; maybe on trains like the ones in JAPAN, not get bogged down by STUDENT DEBT and Our Military families will receive the care they deserve both in & out of active duty.

To live and function for 81 years without filing bankruptcy × 6 (even tho' gifted $ 4 million + what djt stole from family members) , raised a son to serve honorably for the Country, Ina War, raise a son, brain damaged & traumatized to the point of Addiction and have a new family successfully, is proof of wisdom gained through out his lifetime.

So, as a person , who will turn 81 on Election Day ( fully cognizant in all spheres), Immanuel vote for the MAN WHO WILL BE 82 , 9 DAYS LATER.😎♏️💯

I totally agree. I think that Biden is the best President I’ve seen in my 68 years. I adore Obama. He’s brilliant, a great singer and a huge heart. But as a president he didn’t fulfill the job requirement well. Biden has passed more legislation. He hit the ground running. The only thing I’ve been impatient about is the situation in the Middle East. But I keep reminding myself that there is so much more to the story we don’t know.

As to Biden’s age, don’t forget the moment he needs to step aside we have an immensely capable Vice President ready to take over.

That's a helluva generalisation akin to saying all Muslims are terrorists. If you're brainwashed from childhood, denied an education that encourages you to think for yourself or look for real evidence to support your beliefs, and kept in a news silo that censors your news or outright lies to you, and many of those lies and hatred are coming from a person standing in a pulpit who makes you believe thinking differently from the "righteous" will send you to Hell, then even bright people can be brainwashed by a cult. Clarence Thomas's wife used to be in a cult. Clearly she has the brain wiring to become a J6-er the way she has. And if decades of plotting by right wingers hadn't stacked the Supreme Court and got rid of laws that would have prevented lies being spread on billionaire owned propaganda channel FOX and it's imitators, then those millions of people would have accurate facts and wouldn't be as brainwashed.

Agreeing with everything mentioned, here’s the thing: all of this has indeed happened. The GOP consistently dismisses these issues, and rehashing them is futile since Republican voters often vote along party lines, even reluctantly supporting a flawed candidate. So, how do we counter this? Appealing to the better angels and conscience of red voters is ineffective. For these voters, money talks. Greed and avarice drive their decisions. We need to focus on what truly registers with them—financial impact. Highlighting how their votes affect their wallets and the economy could be a more effective strategy. I don’t know. But I know that logic isn’t moving the needle.
