Everyone should pay for their own protection. That is capitalism.
“Trump plays these moronic dipshits like a fiddle.....LOL”
While you speak logically, I’m not sure that is how the populace is played by the media elites. (born as liberals with a silver spoon, IVY league education, intent on destroying freedom and free expression, and the USA too for their own financial and politcal benefit). They play many of us as just dip shits without a megaphone.
We need to strategize rather than allowing them to define us.
Bump
Bold colors folks. Trump has drawn a contrast and forced the Democrats to own their losing issue.
You just have to have a few atrocities committed by criminals in areas where the police have been defunded, and insert those stories into campaign ads, like Willie Horton. Remember him? Those ads pretty much killed Michael Dukakis’ chances at the White House in 1988.
Americans by and large want their families to be safe in their homes. That’s a huge consideration for me, and I’m guessing for millions of voters. There will be payback at the ballot box for this Democrat folly.
They want to turn this country into a crap hole 3rd world nation. Little do they realize is that police in 3rd world crapholes have no accountability. They really should go live there for a while and see if they return with a different view. (They will return and kiss the ground).
I don’t come here as often these days because this place posts this shit so much.
Sounds like a mafia street tax
Yep. Our local police officers must be feeling pretty rough these days. I may have to send over a few pizza’s to help boost their spirits.
Defund locations should also pass legislation to prevent all renters and property owners from moving.
They want to box him in and force him to pay for a national police, funded by the federal government, with local control. It won’t work..It would turn into the “Brown Shirts” that Hitler used. Maybe that is the plan.
I don't think he has the authority to do anything about this, nor do I think the federal government or administration should.
I think President Trump is simply staking out his position. If the dem state/local governments are stupid enough to defund their own police forces they will face the consequences.
Unfortunately many good, responsible citizens will be harmed along the way.
They want a national police force, paid for by the Fed, but with local control. The problem is that it would turn into Hitler’s “Brown Shirts” as soon as a Democrat were in the Whitehouse.
Trump has them boxed in again.
Defund the police does not poll well.
Let’s see what the dems do.
Exactly what I was getting at. The Mafia started out as, essentially, a zealous neighbourhood-watch program. They arose to fill the vacuum created by the end of feudalism, and the private armies of the nobility, and the beginning of the modern police forces that the rabid leftists now want to defund.
Or it will be the unarmed pawns like England has.
When the Democrats get a good look at the polling data, they will drop this issue like a rock. It’s just unfortunate that they didn’t get more politicians on record saying they support defunding police. It would make an excellent campaign commercial.
Sorry, but this is not DJT’s call. If LOCAL officials choose to defund their LOCAL law enforcement agencies, the Federal Government has NO authority to intervene, apart from, perhaps, intervening with FEDERAL forces to quell violence.
You’re right. Police dept. are a city/state issue.
Right on!
Brett always can be counted on to form the sentences that sound juvenile and jealous, arranged to make President Trump look bad.
He represents the Dims very well.
