thats the extreme part of the left that is annoying. However, we also need to talk about the availability of guns to every tom dick and Harry in that country, that has killed a lot of⁰ innocent person's including children.

Thats a bane the US must agree to deal with.
He's trying to get you to normalize his BS and set the dimensions of his debate.

An evil mentally ill person who was also a racist and antisemite decided to shoot up a church killing children.
The same type of mental illness a lot of the previous right wing nut jobs had. Unless he has evidence all the other Christian right nutjobs who also shot up schools were trans, the through thread is easy availability of guns.

"The Left" did not defend this shooter.
And no one attacked prayers.
They did attack elected legislators mouthing prayers instead of doing the thing they were elected to do.
And if one believes prayers are solely sufficient, were the kid's prayers not good enough as they were gunned down while they were praying?

The schools head master put it best. He ascribed it to an African proverb saying at the press conference, When you pray, move your feet."

The reason why things don't get solved in the US is because we spend countless hours arguing the feigned BS of people on the right.
More kids get mowed down by a rain of bullets while in school, and Republicans with their NRA talking points in hand will put on their biggest Gold crosses and say "Now is the time for thoughts and Prayers".
Unfortunately, that's what the children were doing when they were killed.
So, maybe it's time we move our feet with those thoughts and prayers.

When a foreign country attacks the US, I'm sure you'd say let's offer our thoughts and prayers and leave it there.

James 2:14-26
New King James Version
Faith Without Works Is Dead
14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without [a]your works, and I will show you my faith by [b]my works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is [c]dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made [d]perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was [e]accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God. 24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.

25 Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?

26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

And that the 2 assassination attempts by both people who supported Trump were "Democrats" trying to kill him?

Democratic talking points policy includes decriminalizing crime, Defunding the police, Open borders and being soft on crime and anti law/order

Which is why Blue cities are overrun with crime. They talk more than they do, they cannot enforce laws. Which is why they claimed we needed new laws to secure the border, trned out we needed a new president
You mean those Blue States that support the US?
Yeah, we should all live in states like Mississippi, or Missouri or Alabama, or maybe West Virginia and not just get murdered, but die at birth because of poor pre Nadal care, or die by some preventable illness like Syphilis or other STD, or by malnutrition.
Probably why the avg. new housing sale price in Boston is ~$1 million.

You rely on this myth that Red States aren't the cesspools that they are.
Dems and their desire not to put down anyone have allowed that myth to propagate.
Glad people are finally calling it out.

The plane truth is that if you were someone who believed in the Christian faith or believed in Law Order you wouldn't be supporting Trump.
But you do which is part of parcel of your cognitive dissonance.

Republican talking point is that crime should be law and they should be tough on crime. What is the talking point of Democrats regarding crime?
That's the point, there are no Democrat talking points. Democrats usually focus on policy and outcomes and believe there is no black and white.

But your party just spews words, without any depth.
So, you can elect someone like Trump, with all his felonies, his illegal business dealings, his Pardon's of J6'ers and pardons of people convicted of corruption and still say he is for Law and order.

I doubt anyone here thinks that America as a nation is a racist country when considering her laws and institutions, I think what they mean is that there are still many racists in America despite the progress made on equality especially before Trump 2.0. Well I am glad to know that you are not a Dundee that thinks there are no racists in US. Now you can continue your argument with others on racism in America.
I may have said that prior to this Trump administration but when all the levers of power are congregated with people racist ideologies, it's harder to say now.

The Trump admin has shown what can be achieved and how American kids can be protected on the street and make the street safe for law abiding citizens

All these blue states have a lot of money, why have they not used that to reduce crime on the streets of their cities? Maybe they don't care enough since the politicians rarely get affected.

Law abiding citizens will rather have militarization and not have to bury children everyday
I always wonder how it is to think and talk in propaganda and Republican talking points?

The Mayor of DC has this to say, I know some white liberals who live in safe neighborhoods will counter her and come out to protest

bayelsaowei what do you have to say about this

Maybe if you understood the issues at hand you wouldn't keep writing these posts.

1.) Everything comes down to money. Cities have to balance between security, schools and other social services. If you add a set of eyes on every street corner, crime will come down. But what is the cost to that? And for how long? What was the cost of this in comparison to other needs of the country/city, or even the needs of the National Guard troops who have real lives and jobs they had to leave. And the cost to the jobs that these soldiers leave. If you want to help DC, fund them, don't use them as a gimmick.

2.) And that is before talking about the social aspect of militarized cities.
At times, when I'm in Naij, I'm constantly around soldiers carrying weapons. It's a deeply unsettling feeling even though they are supposed to be there for your benefit.
Most Americans do not want to see that level of militarization of their streets.

Isnt Trump a DEI president? You think if Trump was a black man and this use-less he would ever become the president of the united states of America?

Isnt his cabinet filled up with brain dead DEIs , with predominantly square pegs in round holes. ??
You can't understand racism if when in your whole life whenever you looked anywhere all you predominately saw is people that looked like you.

And I dont think being liberal in policies equates to being sympathetic to criminals.. if not those blue states would have been useless and adding nothing to the American GDP.
You are talking to a dude who has never been to the US nor studied its foundational history and so his perspective is solely what he reads on right wing media.

I think there is something to it that a lot of these blue cities with high crime rates are in Red States.
There are underserved populations in those states that probably don't get the funding they need because of Republican politics.

The argument that the US needs a dictator to resolve any of its issues is abhorrent.

It must suck to go through life with the view that every action and set of circumstances is equal or incapable of seeing the difference.

Except he is willfully ignorant or trying to test the SC, especially since the original judgement was quite close. Either way, the precedence holds under the law, until the SC reviews and changes it.

Who knows, he may have gotten assurances that the SC can revert it, if it gets there but the SC have very rarely revisited and overturned historical judgements. The angle Bondi is trying to use will put the SC in a difficult situation with future Executive Orders.
Even if the Supreme law said it was constitutional the secondary problem for Trump is that there is no such law. And he can't create one through executive action.

This gives all sorts of authoritarian vibes.

How many investigations did they have of Biden? They even had an impeachment inquiry where they investigated even his brother and grandchildren. What happened? Nothing. Because there was nothing there.

Trump tried the BS investigations. But at the end of they lost in court. 2 quick acquittals where the jury basically said they were wasting time.
Because in the US you need evidence to win in court, not just propaganda.

And what would have happened if Roberts and Cannon hadn't have helped Trump? He would have been convicted. Because the evidence was there.

You are so steeped in your propaganda, fact is irrelevant.
You are just fed lie after lie after lie to revise history to justify whatever your masters on right media want you to believe.

Back in 2017, buoyed by President Donald Trump’s calls for investigations into “Crooked Hillary & the Dems,” the Justice Department launched an inquiry into Hillary Clinton and Republicans' pet conspiracy theories about her and her career. Then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions asked U.S. Attorney John Huber to look into concerns that the FBI hadn't fully pursued cases related to the Clinton Foundation, as well as Clinton's tenure as Secretary of State, including the baseless “Uranium One” conspiracy theory championed by conservatives. Now, Huber is finally almost finished with his much-vaunted Clinton investigation—and, unsurprisingly, there isn't really anything to show for it.

He went after Hillary. Found nothing.
Then Appointed Durham to go after her law firm and somebody else connected to the Russia probe. Lost both of those cases.
Then appointed a prosecutor to investigate his son and Biden corruption. Only convicted his sone of not paying taxes on time and checking a box on a gun form.

The problem is that Trump could kill someone live on TV and when the DOJ went after him you would say that prosecution was politicized.

cant pardons be revoked?

The American system needs to be revised somehow. First presidents cant be tried once they leave office. Thats a serious flaw. Same with Nigeria..

I believe folks can be unpardoned and meant to pay for their crimes.
Unfortunatley President Pardons are part of Article II of the Constituion
The only exception is for impeachment, whatever that means.

Article II
Section 2 Powers
Clause 1 Military, Administrative, and Clemency
The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.
John Roberts broke the American Experiment with the Presidential immunity ruling. If the President is immune and can pardon anyone, then he is a de facto king.

But if the Dems get back power, they should impeach him on some of this stuff so they can test the impeachment exception.

This is all types of Bonkers. The DOJ was looking for evidence to back up calling Abrego Garcia a "MS-13 leader". But couldn't find it.
I think it's already decided Trump will pardon mostly everyone who worked for him when he leaves office.


In the March 31 exchange, James Percival, senior counselor to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, was debating with other top officials—at DHS, DOJ, and State—what could be said to the court about Abrego Garcia. One of those officials was Reuveni.
“Can we say the following?” Percival asked, then listed several things he’d like the administration to say about Abrego Garcia, one being: “This guy is a leader of MS-13.”

“If we can get a declaration to that effect, yes,” Reuveni answered. This meant the assertion could not be made without a facts-and-evidence-based declaration from ICE on Abrego Garcia’s status.

In other words, top DHS officials apparently were pushing to characterize Abrego Garcia as an MS-13 “leader” before any evidence of this had appeared. And Reuveni expressly warned against doing this absent such evidence.

Subsequently in that chain, an ICE official (whose name is redacted) answered Percival’s question about whether it’s OK to call Abrego Garcia an MS-13 “leader.”

“I have not found anything indicating ‘leader,’ but I’ll keep looking,” the ICE official wrote, meaning that the hunt for such evidence would continue.
