Which party rules (ineptly, of course) this formerly great city?
Yes, you know.
Hmmmm, I wonder if I could get a PhD from one of the degree from a box top universities (most of them) by seeing if there is a correlation between corrupt cities and the multiverse’s most corrupt political party?

On Tuesday I want to see a precinct there set the record at 200% or more voter turnout. If anybody can do it, they can. The voters there are that dedicated.

A few years ago, one of the major industry associations that I work with had their annual conference in downtown Philadelphia at the convention center there. The overwhelming response from attendees afterwards? “Conference was great but absolutely don’t ever even think about holding the conference again here.”

And they'll still vote overwhelmingly Democrat.

Murder rates soar in Philly because everyone on the street knows the Democrat District Attorney is not aggressively pursuing prosecutions for murder, illegal firearms possession and assault with a deadly weapon. New DA is a catch and release kind of liberal.
