to be honest almost anything looks better than the current soft on crime approach. no wonder people are arming themselves like its the wild west again!

rather shocking statistics. reading them one can somewhat understand people not wanting to live in areas with high numbers of democrats.

^^^ Somehow I doubt that most of the people responsible for violent crime in inner cities actually vote (e.g. gang culture). So I'm not sure why you'd consider them Democrat if they're not even voting, etc.

But it's interesting how, when a white person commits a crime, it has nothing to do with race. And yet when a black person commits a crime, it somehow has everything to with their race.

So on that note... When a Republican commits a violent crime, is it because of their political affiliation or their political beliefs, since you have suggested that there is a correlation between one's propensity to commit crime and which side of the political spectrum they fall within?

I would caution against linking race to voting tendency, especially when there is a huge demographic shift in US voting habits taking place at the moment. This actually started under President Trump, who let's not forget was able to grow his vote share amongst ethnic groups.

Now though it is even more stark with a recent New York Times poll having Hispanic support for Democrats at 41% and 40% for Republicans, compared to 70/30 split in favor of the Dems at the 2018 midterms. If there is a distinction to be made then for crime then it would be that between urban and rural areas.

The interesting thing about linking race to crime is the narrative that is largely sold by the Democrats of the rising threat of white supremacy. It's why so many jumped all over the recent mass shooting in Buffalo as evidence of this.

Whilst there are isolated incidences of hate crime and the rise of the "new right" is something to keep an eye on, looking at the numbers it's hard to find much evidence of this being a genuine threat. Especially when compared to the genuine real numbers of increasing violent crime, thefts, rise in drug overdoses, southern border crossings etc.

"In 2020, per capita murder rates were 40% higher in states won by Donald Trump than those won by Joe Biden.

8 of the 10 states with the highest murder rates in 2020 voted for the Republican presidential nominee in every election this century."

The Florida judge presiding over Trump's motion to appoint a special master has asked his legal team to "refine" their legal arguments.
One strange legal argument in their filing to support Trump's claim of executive privilege was to quote precedent from the Nixon case "United States v. Nixon, 418 U.S. 683 (1974)" although the Supreme Court decided in this case Nixon was not entitled to executive privilege.

Anyway in an own goal, Trump's claim of executive privilege protection appears to concede that these are official government records that he was not legally allowed to keep.

You ignore that this aspect of my post is entirely based on Biden's obviously racist remark, and sarcastically expands it. If you have a problem with it you need to take it up with Biden.

But Ok, I never said reading comprehension is any of your fortés.
Again, your idol Biden demands it. But Ok, maybe he doesn't even consider them black if they don't vote. This is the man the likes of you have voted into power.

Crime is a choice, that's part of what makes it a crime. Obviously those choices differ massively between the racial/ethnic groups. If you have a problem with that, and how it's represented in the official statistics, you need to take that up with the Census Bureau, the FBI, and so on and so forth.

From today's redacted version of the affidavit.

and 184 classified documents were found

Incredible abuses of Presidential authority.

And now the MAGA morons are going to yell about the blacked-out passages. Like in there Trump's exoneration lies.

I guess not much new in the release. Probable cause that he committed crimes. Indictment likely. F--- him.

Quite simply:

Until he is criminally charged and convicted, every accusation and allegation is only making him, and the MAGA movement, politically stronger and more extreme.

If the DOJ have the goods on him, then they need to indict him and pronto.

I don't think it makes a difference as the MAGA already have foam at their mouth. But yes, indict him and pronto. Ideally before he declares. Which might be any moment.

was hoping to vote for DeSantis but this BS is turning me back to DJT……

I can’t wait to vote in ca 70 days

Plus I get to vote in my first Swiss referendum soon….great times

Where are you voting?

No surprise, I am sure millions of others in the Trump cult will do likewise.
Hopefully, the swing voters will recognise the risks to national security but I would not count on it.

Well before he declares he can take the money donated to him and his PACS and spend it wherever he wants.
After declaration, there are severe limits on how and where he can spend it so I believe he will delay.

No idea on these limitations. Which makes me as smart as Trump or his classy legal team. Politically, I would think he would want to declare before an indictment.

No big deal…..Facebook admits the government (FBI) interfered in the 2020 election to suppress Hunter Biden story

79% of Americans say the 2020 election would have been decided differently had news of the Laptop from Hell been more honestly reported….

https://nypost.com/2022/08/26/2020-e...coverage-poll/

It will be the third time for Trump to campaign so he and his legal team are well aware of the limitations; of course, if he follows the rules is a good question..

For example, he should no longer be able to spend millions of donations on his private legal bills, fixing his airplane, and such.

Edit; I doubt Trump will declare before the mid-terms so he avoids the blame for the Dems winning the Senate again, currently most of his Senate endorsed candidates are underwater.

Amateur time!

Meanwhile according to Fox Business (yes, Fox) a unit of FOX News Media.
According to this site, RightForge has 4 employees and capital of $1.99M.

I hope Truth Social does not lose its host and so closes down.

Trump is really losing it (again):

"Trump demands reinstatement as 'rightful' president or 'a new Election, immediately!' as some Republicans seek distance from him"
