 MAGA is certainly not limited government conservative.

Talk about logical contradictions. Why don’t you research deficit growth (especially relative to GDP) under old school Republican vs Dem administrations over the decades and then tell us why you fell for the “conservative” bullshit like so many others.

Conservative were never really for…[Read more]

The problem with blue cities with high crime rates existing in red states is that they are in red states with state governments that don’t feel like helping any part of the state which isn’t white and conservative.

Yes, for example, around here, the State Dept of Transpo will completely repave a suburban state road over and over but…[Read more]

And if anyone thinks “the army” is an answer to crime in a democracy and will somehow fix the root causes, well they are a fucking fascist. You won’t like “the fix”, you know. Saudi has a super low crime rate. It’s all too stooopid.

Robert, And you’ll notice from the Axios article linked above that the Southern States you mentioned have blue cities with high murder rates. So bipartisan bloodbaths anyone?

Those blue cities in red states are too small to swing the electoral college scam, especially with all the gerrymandering. But yeah, the whole red s…[Read more]

The states with the highest murder/crime rates year after year in the United States are MAGA central. Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, New Mexico, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Missouri. Their small rural towns have insanely high crime rates. Ever drive though rural Alabama? Shit shacks and moldy doublewides covered with MAGA flags. So stooopid.

So they love Portland and Oregon…yet want to leave it for Europe, even if cities in Europe can be worse in terms of “no-go” zones created by adherents to The Religion of Peace and Compassion™ or disruption by various protest movements, or Value Added Taxes, or the presence of street and river pollution?

My friends work as consultants in the “Healthtech” industries and their contracts are up at end of this year. They would have stayed but their contracts are not going to be renewed. It’s almost like companies with contracts and connections to the HSS suddenly don’t want qualified doctors with Masters degrees working there. What they love about…[Read more]

Calling for a military presence in Portland is political theater and completely unnecessary. It inflates problems into existential crises when, in reality, the city operates with schools, businesses and daily life as normal. Overall violent crime is on the way down. I have a few friends living there and they love living the city and the wider…[Read more]

@PopeBeanie Thanks, I have fixed the link. I think you will enjoy the video.

The idea for the 250th anniversary ‘celebrations’ came from a discussion I had with some Americans at the tailgate party for the “Steelers vs Vikings” game in Dublin. I should have put “lol” at the end of my comment….or maybe not 🙂

@RegTheFronkeyFarmer wrt the last link, for “simulation”, it’s a duplicate of the Sean Carroll link. (I fixed a typo elsewhere, so I’m betting you were in a hurry today!)

LOL [sic… I mean, maybe no one should laugh], please don’t publicly state any dates of when you might visit USA!

Next year the 250th anniversary of 1776 will see MAGA argue all their talking points to further justify what they are doing and politics will be fully aligned with Christian Nationalism. By the time of the next election there will be a visible military presence in most States. Trump won’t need to stand for election because of the ongoing domestic…[Read more]

Quick shout out to @Unseen – hope you’re OK mate, I gather Portland is under assault from the military – can’t believe I’m even typing this – stay safe!
