Board 8 > Politics Containment Topic 374: Israel's Next Target

(+) Yeah! (+)

Racism is bad in general. Im sure theres a bunch of Rs with Confederate flags proudly displayed all over suddenly angry Hunter is being racist too just because hes not a racist in their party

Can't see what those posts are, but a reminder that Hunter Biden is A) not the president, B) is not part of the administration, and C) Does not matter.

Ill have you know Hunter Biden got his n-word pass from Donald Trump himself
---

oh shit did he leave his phone at the same place he left his three laptops

Just to ask, has crime really been increasing under Biden?

The FBI's crime data page isn't very user friendly in getting the numbers I'd want but from what I can tell the following is the case:

We don't even have finalized crime statistics from 2020 yet (due in September) let alone this year so it'd pretty damn difficult to make an authoratative statement on the crime rate and what it has or hasn't done under the Biden administration.

We do have preliminary data for 2020 and if I'm reading their (again, very not great IMO) charts then by percentage YOY overall crime decreased slightly, but violent crime was up slightly, and murder specifically is up a lot (as in a historic jump, by far the largest on record.) The rise appears to correlate with the pandemic reaching the US but it was up from the start. It's probably a fool's errand to try and single out any one factor for it but that would certainly be the lowest hanging fruit.

News reports that are frustratingly not providing me with good sourcing suggests that localities are suggesting the murder rate is still at the elevated level that 2020 provided but again I'm not seeing any good sourcing for that but if we accept it for the sake of argument then it's in the trendline started by 2020 (and again this would only be looking at murder specifically. Again, overall crime decreased in 2020 nevertheless.)

I saw Trump claim that, but he was probably just making inflammatory statements as usual.

---

The morons who want the police defunded most definitely are causing a massive increase in crime tho.

Its funny to see people repeat this when none of the cities with the highest increase in crime rates actually defunded their police!

I thought you were good at analyzing data?

To be fair, this is because no city has actually defunded their police.

---

reminder that the vast majority of cities did not defund the police, in fact many (like mine) increased police funding, and crime still increased

almost like there is no correlation because police do not prevent crime, they respond to it

---

remember how ulti recently said he hasn't made an inflammatory post in years and was begging leonhart to tell him "what was wrong with his posts now"?

lol

---

Yeah, there's no correlation with the rise of the murder rate (which is what's being singled out here and conflated with "crime" since overall crime is actually down) and any political movement that I can see.

Republican-led cities and Democratic-led cities both saw near-identical rises (35.6% vs. 36.2% basically.) In Texas, Abbott tried to slam Austin for a 50% increase after they decided to reduce spending when Fort Worth increased spending and saw a 60% increase in murders. And as mentioned, hardly any localities have even reduced spending. Something like 12 out of 18,000 by Fall 2020 and most of them blamed budget shortfalls brought on by COVID (and how the Senate GOP refused any state and local aid so they had no recourse). And the rates were rising well before that, well before the protests around the murder of George Floyd as well.

If one of Trumps sons sent those texts it would be a nuclear winter. But of course its Bi(D)ens ki(D) so we have (D)ouble stan(D)ar(D)s.

I'll be plenty outraged when Hunter Biden holds an actual White House position like Trump's kids did.

As of right now you're asking me to be outraged about what Tommy at the gas station said.

Actually, no. I'd be more outraged about what Tommy said because atleast he sells me scratch offs.

The "the left hold double standards!" trolling is tired and lazy, considering the left cannibalizes itself much, much more often than the right does. Compare Al Franken to Marjorie Taylor Greene or Matt Gaetz.

lol

because of the numbers i feel it's important to clarify 60 votes were needed

but still lmao that's peak gillibrand either way

---

i kinda agree that i would probably make a bigger deal out of donald jr. saying the n-word because i think he's one of the most insufferable people on the planet so i'm already emotionally invested in him, i guess. i don't really care about hunter biden.

I know GMUN already pointed out the numbers actually didnt matter but what incredibly stupid optics regardless.

---

trump jr isn't used to attack trump, they're just both individually terrible people

ivanka/kushner would be used against trump because that was direct nepotism installing them into government positions they had no business in (it should be mindblowing to everyone that kushner was in charge of peace in the middle east, among everything else)

---

kushner is also a really terrible person. ivanka... i don't know what she's done outside of helping trump get away with his shit

---

I've got no problem moving Hunter Biden from the "amusing failson" to "shitty amusing failson" category

---

Hunter and Joe Biden are obviously racist. Joe Biden has been a racist congressman and a racist president. These arent even particularly controversial or spicy takes. But I dont understand the need to use Hunter to attack Joe - Hunter isnt even the most bad of Joes children, and Joe has plenty to attack about himself!

Literally one of the closest people to Trump in his circle.

There is no way you should consider her to be anything but equally awful.

Guys, no need to worry about climate change any longer, Louie Gohmert has cracked the case.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/lunar-new-deal-gop-rep-gohmert-suggests-altering-moon-s-n1270219

NBC News reporting on a House National Resources Committee hearing

"I understand, from what's been testified to the Forest Service and the BLM, you want very much to work on the issue of climate change," Gohmert said, referring to the Bureau of Land Management.

"I was informed by the immediate past director of NASA that they've found that the moon's orbit is changing slightly and so is the Earth's orbit around the sun. We know there's been significant solar flare activity," he said. "And so, is there anything that the National Forest Service or BLM can do to change the course of the moon's orbit or the Earth's orbit around the sun? Obviously, that would have profound effects on our climate."

Eberlien responded, smiling, "I would have to follow up with you on that one, Mr. Gohmert."

"If you figure out there's a way in the Forest Service you could make that change, I'd like to know," Gohmert said.

---

the most baffling part is that he expects the forestry service to be able to do anything about that

The BLM founders have openly said Marxism is their ideological frame.

I know you dont think things through, ever, but Im responding to this for any observers benefit:

Consider that when the similarity between Obama and BLM is being black, maybe using one being Marxist to justify calling the other that is almost the definition of racist? Fucking lol

Yeah, I'm not gonna say don't respond to him, but please don't think it's for anyone else's benefit.

for everyone's benefit, BLM isn't marxist

For everyone's benefit, when you're quoting users for responses you shouldn't cut the part with their name and the link to the original post.

Saw Feinstein trending on Twitter... got my hopes up.

god feinstein is garbage

---

the similarity between blm, obama, and marxism is that fox viewers are scared by all three. thats about it.

I think there theoretically could be a situation where quoting a frequently banned poster could be helpful for discussion.

That was not that time.

Some dumb shit here from Congress

Some of those are dumb, but tech companies didnt become giant monopolies from putting out stuff that entirely sucks. From that list, Amazon basics, Amazon Prime, pre installed apps and Facebook marketplace all would pretty easily be banned in a stronger anti-trust environment.

People just have lived with monopolies in tech for so long they are used to them

---

I mean look tech companies aren't my biggest worry with this stuff but

yeah

they are monopolies lol

Also fuck amazon
