US US Politics General - Discussion of President Biden and other politicians

 

[Netizennameless]

no they're not they just stopped prosecuting crime and considering criminal actions crime then use that to claim everything is down. When you legalize thefts under 900 bucks its no shock that the theft rate goes down

# of murders does not equal # of murder prosecutions. It was objectively more dangerous in the 1990's. The authorities had less technology to control people with. There was a federal "assault weapons" ban in the 1990's (which is why the AR-15 is so popular today).

In New Orleans, in 1994 there were 424 murders. In 2022, there were 265.

I am not pretending like everything is normal. It's not. But we came from worse and we will do so again. These problems are not insurmountable.

again the crimes aren't being reported because das raycis so that number is probably bullshit and in any case murder isn't the only metric. What's the metrics on getting harrassed and accosted by schizo junkies on the subway system from the 90s and now?

Look I actually agree with you if we're comparing today to the 70s. I have no illusions that in spite of how shit it is NYC for example is still better today than it was in the 70s. but I don't buy for a second we're better off or safer today when compared to the 90s having been to these cities with my family many times in both decades.

Not only that, but the entire reason why americans could be put in concentration camps without an armed uprising was due to the stranglehold an effective mass media system had on the american mind.

Here is a fun fact I learned about recently: FDR sent the National Guard to Hollywood, specifically Walt Disney Studios literally within hours following Pearl Harbor. Disney was one of the biggest media moguls of the time pushing for Isolationism and American First.

Pretty sussy.

people admitting the sin of being british on this site always makes my day because then i imagine you calling biden a pedophile and kamala a nigger in those goofy accents you have and it makes me laugh

"Facking geezer's nogging is proper fucked and all he does is nonce kids. And that skag on the VP chair can only cackle like a hag. Shit's fucked mate bloody fucker."

Its gonna happen sooner or later, the soomer it happens the less damage it is gonna do.

But nobody has the balls for it so spending is no longer a real issue because the GOPe outright lost

I saw something about it, a guy made the current hubris of the market into a little fable to explain it.

A wizard built a very high tower in the middle of the village, and every day he made it bigger. But he did so poorly because he wanted the largest tower and didn't bother to make it strong.

Then came strong winds and the tower threatened to fall. So he told people, and they all got together and built extra struts and safety pillars to hold the tower in place while the wind was blowing.

Then as soon as the wind stopped the wizard resumed building the tower even taller. Some people questioned this and asked the wizard to stop or to allow the tower to fall and start over.

"But we can't do that, imagine the damage! And if I stop building the tower the village will no longer prosper from the magic it brings!"

And every time the winds come more shit is build to keep it from falling, and every time the possible damage from it collapsing grows.

>164,997,000 total tax payers
>341,465,339 million total population
>48.3% of the population is paying taxes

The few can't support the many. The levee is going break.

If you exclude citizens that are under 18 and ones that are in secondary education that figure drops from 180 mil non taxpayers to about 85 mill, still alot but not half the country. Also in response to what you responded to half of Gen Z are minors or are in college.

Post Giuliani New York, Houston, and LA are safer than in the 90s, but Philadelphia is even worse.

Farting and falling asleep during your trial are power-moves that few can get away with, these fuckin libs see this as a weakness or failing to be mocked for some unknown reason which is why every one of them will forever remain faggots.

If I were Trump, I'd be crop-dusting constantly. Crop-dusting is what waiters call it when they pass a table of assholes eating and drop a huge fart.

That's why you just don't pay taxes. You might think "by God the IRS will come for you!" but here's a fun fact. If you don't pay taxes you have enough money to buy a skidster which can dig very deep holes very quickly. You also have money to spend verifying that your neighbors are indeed blind, deaf, and they saw you at a specific place at a specific time. You also have enough extra money to buy chemicals such as hydrogen peroxide and concentrated sulfuric acid which you need for your newly affordable community college chemistry course. Just don't mix them in a solution at a rate of 3:1 unless you want to turn anything from Legos to IRS agents into unidentifiable carbon you naughty boy.

RETARD ALERT! RETARD ALERT! WE HAVE OURSELVES A FUCKING RETARD ON THE LOOSE! HIDE YOUR DAUGHTERS BECAUSE A RAPING RETARD IS ON THE LOOSE LOOKING TO SPREAD HIS RETARD GENES BY RAPING YOUR KIDS!!!!!!!!

You just fucking can't say "I'm not going to pay my taxes". Just can't. Why? Because the faggots in the US government have LONG made it impossible to keep them from robbing your pocketbooks by making it so that they get to steal their cut of your hard earned profits before you even GET a single paycheck from your employeer. They steal it before you even see a dime, BECAUSE they know that is the only way to make it so that you can't deny them their cut as payback for their evil bullshit.

 

[dustbuster]

You just fucking can't say "I'm not going to pay my taxes". Just can't. Why? Because they can just deficit spend longer than you can withhold payment

Fixed that for you

Murder and crime rates are still lower than they were in the 1990's

No, they're the highest ever in living memory.
The authorities simply don't report it, and punish citizens for reporting it.

 

[tehpope]

The thing I can't get past is how fucking awful Biden is. He can't even order a Milkshake in a staged manner with out looking like a demented Mr Magoo. So my gut is telling me they're going to swap him out.

With who? If they swap out with a woman, the older folks won't vote for her. The younger people who would vote for a woman don't vote.

It doesn't matter who they pick. Michelle, Kamala, Gretchen. All have baggage. The former two don't even want to be president. Guessing with Kamala given how she appears at press events now of days. Wine aunt mode.

Gavin would have to explain why California is a shithole. The DNC would have to explain why they're running another FUCKING WHITE CISHET MALE.

They're stuck with Joe. Dr. Jill will throw a fit if the money train for the Biden family stops.

Just looking around, with that "wonderful" bit of news that that fucking pigsty of a nation will be getting more money, I realized something.

America's done, isn't it.

Social ties ripped up, politics shattered, finances in tatters. Nobody cares that the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence is coming up. Nor that the anniversary of Concord and Lexington came and went without a whisper. The people in charge are short-sighted, greedy fools, with an ideology that is slowly collapsing in on itself because of it's contradictions. That and spending money willy nilly like niggers.

Holy hell it's over. Just waiting for curtain call.

At least when we get over pretending to be civilized, we can hang the Congress things by the ankles and slit their throats as a blood sacrifice to the Tree of Liberty.

All you can really do is start prepping and laugh at the insanity going on in US politics.

BREAKING: In a landmark 9-0 ruling on Wednesday that you will never hear about in the media, the US Supreme Court has undercut all DEI-based discrimination, sending the Marxists into a tizzy. The US Supreme Court's ruling that a St. Louis police sergeant can sue over a job transfer she claims was discriminatory lays the foundation for legal action against employers who push discrimination against white people in job hiring, work assignment and promotion. That’s right, those “diversity-preferred” job postings, the practice of passing over whites for promotions, discriminatory job transfers, pushing unfair diversity trainings, etc…all of these are now legally actionable. The ruling was championed by human rights groups as "an enormous win for workers,” but has lawyers for companies like Disney warning that it could have a chilling effect on employers' diversity initiatives. Disney’s "Pale and Male is Stale" policy is a prime example. Disney has allegedly used it to drive out white animators by giving them the worst assignments, even though they them have the most experience, skill, and seniority, in order to make the job humiliating enough that they quit…which many of them have done. The same companies argue that there is ‘good discrimination’ and “bad discrimination’, that white people should be purposely disadvantaged to pave the way for diversity. The lawyers stated that the decision will ‘complicate’ DEI programs and limit their ability to discriminate against white men. The Supreme Court torpedoed these claims, re-asserting that everyone is equal in the eyes of the law. Further, the court has established a relatively ‘low standard’ for bringing discrimination cases. The victim need not suffer ‘actual harm’. An employee only must show "some harm" under the terms of their employment, AND that harm need not be "material," "substantial" or "serious." The decision makes it much easier for workers to sue over discriminatory practices. This is a big win for equality!

You get a lawsuits, and you get a lawsuit and everyone gets lawsuits . GG guys expect some court circuses and some hefty payouts

https://www.nola.com/news/crime_pol...cle_ed086c84-4599-11ed-a3e1-e75e7b51a8ed.html

Not to be all doom and gloom, but how much of the drop in murders is down to advances in technology? I wasn't around in the 90s, so how common were cell phones to call for emergency services back then, and what advances have been made in treating gunshot wounds? And what part of this is due to niggers being worse shots now? A lot of niggers think having a big ass drum mag means you no longer have to aim.

Gavin would have to explain why California is a shithole.

When will that be? No reporter is ever going to ask that, not even on a debate stage, and no regular person is going to get a chance to ask.

The DNC would have to explain why they're running another FUCKING WHITE CISHET MALE.

"Our deeply racist and misogynist society can't stomach diversity." - Literally that easy. The activists who really give a shit will vote blue no matter who. They did in 2016 after the DNC shafted Bernie, they did it in 2020 after the DNC picked Biden. They will vote blue come election day, and 2028 will be no different for them.

[Get the rope Macaulay!]

Subtract children and the very elderly. That number is actually high, due to not enough kids.

yep, the US is actually a lot better than most countries because we do have at least 2/3rds of the population paying taxes. right now only about 10% of South Africans pay taxes and their country is only slightly less stable than the worst places here.

Or to put it another way, TPTB have a fuck load more runway left. even just from the debt situation. the US goes full 90s eastern bloc style collapse at 900 trillion and even the biggest "sky is falling" types say we won't even hit 50 trillion by the end of the decade. as it stands we have about 300 years before it goes full Mad Max style dead.

Nobody cares that the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence is coming up. Nor that the anniversary of Concord and Lexington came and went without a whisper.

you don't seem to understand its not their country so why would they give a fuck? you really think white people celebrated apache tribe's 500th anniversary? The whites are some broccoli headed arabs or non-whites entirely. You can see from who they root for in the world cup or the flags they have in their house they neither care nor want to care about the 250th anniversary.

It also helps that most of the revolutionary war was fought in new england and democrats decided white people don't deserve to celebrate shit. So even a faggot like Ben Affleck or Chris Evans who you'd assumed would be all about it doesn't care.

t's not done till trump is.

all of the US' hopes and dreams rely on a fat man in his 70s; might as well bet it all on Chris Chan tbqh

Murder and crime rates are still lower than they were in the 1990's, that time everyone looks at as peak US prosperity.

i know this is some weird copypasta from the obama era but its slowly either not getting to be true or doesn't factor in police are a lot more likely to not report crimes now.

They vanished the moment that everyone realized that the real money issue is Social Security and we cant tell old people they cant have their gibs

i always loved that rationalization; who gives a fuck. old people vote GOP anyways, why not tell them to get fucked. stop SSI and Medicare immediately. the nigs would love getting 20% more money than care about a bunch of old white people dying on the streets.

And there were 264 murders in New Orleans in 1997 faggot, while we're not at the worst. don't be a faggot and pretend we aren't 90% of the way there. I bet you won't even concede that crime is worse than it was in 1999 despite it being your own data you fucking fruit.

notice where the graph stops, its been 3 more years and between the economy and biden in office the numbers have clearly risen. Beyond that the police fearing ending up like Derek means they aren't going to report shit accurately. most police don't report the numbers to the FBI anymore for instance.

Don't forget that a lot of the negroid population of New Orleans left for more gibs greener pastures after Katrina.

Another trick us to take the crime rate of Chicago to beat the claim crime is down.

Things have gotten better for everyone since the end of ww2.

The ca law goe the 900 dollars was a misguided attempt to treat anti social behavior with the fantasy that a homeless man steal a loaf of bread and gets a criminal record and thus its harder for him to find work.

Reality is very different etc.

The summer of love red pilled alot of people and a 17 year old put the breaks on the mob.
