• Defunding

    From Mike Powell@1:2320/105 to GREGORY DEYSS on Sunday, October 31, 2021 11:04:00
    Oh my goodness, look what I found from the left. >https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/democrats-mean-it-when-they-say-they-want-to-
    defund-or-abolish-the-police/ar-BB1fCbLU

    U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan is the latest to confirm that fact. >"Policing in our country is inherently & intentionally racist," she said in a >tweet, "No more policing, incarceration, and militarization. It can't be >reformed."

    "The Squad" has been fairly vocal about defund being litteral. Other
    folks, like posters here, want to soften that message to make us think that
    no activists or elected officials actually mean that. But they have sure
    said they mean it. Maybe just trying to get donations or buy votes, but
    we have to take them for their word.

    These people mentioned above are your people Jeff, I am very happy to say they are not mine.

    Nor mine.

    It's not. It's only synonymous in your delusional view of Democrat and Liberal ideologies.
    Well it's not Republicans or Conservatives chopping at the bit for this.

    Correct.

    Yu misunderstand sanctuary cities. People are far mor likely to help with the investigation of crimes if they're not afraid that the police will ask about their immigration status. More crimes get solved.

    Right and these same people that would go to a sanctuary cities, are also planning on reporting back to immigration court, right Jeff. You are either dreaming, or not thinking this through, if they go to a sanctuary city
    why would they want or need to report to immigration court?

    Well, they don't get asked about it unless they commit a crime, so you are likely correct. Sanctuary city means you can live there and never be questioned, which means you never have to go to court if you don't want to.

    Um, what you're describing here, Mike, is a sanctuary city. Even in sanctuary cities, immigration status does come up if the individual in question has committed a crime, so that's a red herring. The difference is in immigration status coming up when someone is a victim of a crime, a witness to a crime,
    or has other information about a crime. If you support these people not
    needing to fear deportation for reporting or providing informatio about a
    crime that has been committed, then Congratulations! You support sanctuary cities!

    Many people can go through life without ever witnessing a crime, so that is also somewhat of a red herring.

    Sanctuary city means they never get questioned about their status, whether
    they ever witness a crime or not, which I do not support.

    Nevertheless, some do witness crimes. Or worse, are victims of crimes. For example, victims of human trafficking, which you and Aaron seem particularly concerned about.

    Not true. Sanctuary cities do turn those who have committed serious crimes
    over to the federal authorities.

    "Sanctuary City" can mean different things in different cities. In Syracuse, nobody is going to be held there long enough for ICE to review fingerprints
    and send officers. We have an instant-bail program. Illegal immigrants are
    more than welcome to commit crimes, get arrested, get cashless bail the same day, and then leave the country if they feel like it. But there's no way the Sheriff's gonna turn them over to ICE. Especially now with all the holes in
    the border. Who really cares if someone's an illegal immigrant? Thanks to you and Joe, we just have to live with it. Let's focus on properly giving these people (the world) full citizenship so that way they can start contributing to our society.

    OR we can keep them crawling through crumbling tunnels, swimming through the ocean, wading through rivers, because I think that's how the Democrats get off.

    Nobody, you say?

    Which you repeatedly yet falsely equate to a guaranteed-bail program.

    immigrants are more than welcome to commit crimes, get arrested, get cashless bail the same day, and then leave the country if they feel like it. But there's no way the Sheriff's gonna turn them over to ICE.

    "Calling everything racist" implies that 1) I actually call *everything* racist, which would include fellow liberals, and 2) that the things I *call* racist aren't actally racist.

    The KKK, Neo-Nazis, Neo-Confederates, and white supremacist "militia" groups are indeed all racist and indeed all tend to be heavily, reliably, and consistenly conservative.

    "Replacement Theory" has a well-documented history of being rooted in racist fears of a loss of power by white men.

    The KKK, Neo-Nazis, Neo-Confederates, and white supremacist "militia" groups are indeed all racist and indeed all tend to be heavily, reliably, and consistenly conservative.

    I have never knowingly known anyone in any of those groups, but I have
    known plenty of racists. They are very consistently:

    (1) pro-government wealth redistribution -- their racism seems to
    partially stem from their fear that a minority is going to take their
    share;
    (2) pro-union labor -- their racism seems to partially stem from their
    fear that, that if there was no union, a minority might steal their jobs
    (if they had jobs);
    (3) pro-choice -- when asked about this one, their reasoning usually
    involves a racist point of view... I will let you figure that one out on
    your own.

    Now, based on those three things, I don't see them as being reliably or consistently conservative, or Republican. "Vote Democrat" is the message I
    get from them. I was actually very surprised in 2008. They did not
    waver. Most of them were all for Obama, once he became their party's
    nominee, because those three things I listed above were more important.

    That didn't stop them from being racists, mind you, only from being racists when it came time to vote for the party that would most likely protect
    their government handouts, their union labor, and their daughter's right to choose.

    I have known many racists, and have met David Duke in person.
    All of them are truly despicable, and capable of committing very
    violent acts, including arson and murder. Yes, they are very
    constistent with their views, and will never change their
    views until the day they die.

    Joining and stealing their jobs. They are racists... why do you expect
    them to make sense??????

    What? You're saying that Obama overwhelmingly got the racist vote? You're saying that the KKK, Neo-Nazis, Neo-Confederates, white supremacists, etc., supported Obama? Are you off your rocker?

    You apparently believe that all racists belong to groups (although them being involved with their local KKK would not have surprised me).

    If they are like most racists I have known, who want their government to be pro-union, pro-wealth-redistribution, and pro-choice, yes they sure did. I am not off my rocker. They were open about who they voted for and they most certainly did claim to vote Obama.

    Again, since they are racists, I don't expec them to make any sense. I am
    a little surprised you do. Also a little surprised you think that someone
    who hates like that might not hate Republicans even more than the idea of a black President.

    I have also known Democrats who are gun owners and even NRA members. I

    The racist is afraid of a minority taking the share that should go to the racist.

    How exactly does government wealth redistribution solve this problem, from
    the racist's point of view. People who oppose government wealth distribution typically also don't want something taken from them...

    But it's getting a bit old since they Left keep having to manufacture racist problems (remember Jussie Smollett?).

    Ya, I doubt you'll see that again. A number of years ago, the Lefties tried to run on a "gun control" platform. That was disasterous for them. The next elections they deflected any question about gun control. They didn't want to out-right lie and say they were against gun control, but they didn't want to say they were for it either.

    If you haven't noticed, gun control hasn't been in the news during in election year for quite some time now.
