Yeah, but many if not most of those "criminals" arrested were for immigration offenses, not committing violent crimes like murder, assault, rape, etc.

From the Twitters, comment from a Memphis resident: https://x.com/grizzzlam/status/1966493834969276803 Can't wait for the national guard to amble around Memphis, driving down the local economy and discouraging people from going out, all while doing nothing to make the city safer in any meaningful way.

https://twitter.com/Jerri_M_Green/status/1966246383704297768 Jerri Green @Jerri_M_Green As President Trump and Governor Lee weigh sending national guard troops to Memphis, I want to go on record - this is both unnecessary and wasteful. The truth is clear: crime in Memphis is already trending down, thanks to the hard work of our local law enforcement officers, community leaders, and neighborhoods who are stepping up to make our city safer. Bringing in federal troops doesn’t solve the root causes of crime. It doesn’t put food on the table, create good-paying jobs, expand mental health services, or give kids safe places to learn and grow. What it does do is divert taxpayer dollars into a show of force that is out of step with the real needs of Tennesseans. See below for my full statement. (at link)

Exactly. Antifa is just a bunch of loosely connected anarchists with no formal association and their agenda is anti-facism.

Nope, to the disappointment of some here.

So are you having a serious dicussion with those that bring up Roman Polanski or am I with those that call me a pigeon foker? When people express their contempt for you like that, any serious discussion is impossible.

No, of course not. But they should be suspended and then others here can have a (more) serious discussion.

Tim, how can you have a serious discussion about anything with people who engage in vile name calling or say you a pedophile or engage in bestiality? You can't, which is why this forum needs stricter moderation IMO.

A logical question in response to your unequivocal statement that "It starts in the home"

Tim you can't have an unmoderated forum. Did you ever visit The Cage? This forum is not unmoderated, I know that from seeing threads being locked (some that I started). I would like to see more moderation, particularly with the vile name calling we see here that has to discourage newcomers from partcipating and staying this forum (along with racism and homophobia/transphobia).

Dude, you said "Starts in the home" and I simply asked you to clarify that.

I think Joe realizes, in retrospect, that closing the PSF was a big mistake as they lost a lot of long time posters who also contributed in other forums. Overall traffic on the site has decreased significantly IMO since that happened (perhaps it would have anyway due to less interest in FF).

And what did the parents do wrong here, do you think?

Probably because it made him look bad, like this a was a site where anything can be discussed, like politics.

Nor have I. It is something people extrapolated from what he did say, a Straw Man they keep repeating.

What is the non-lazy way? What is your solution to this problem?

He never provides links and if pressed on it he says something like "I don't have to prove it, everyone knows you said that."

No, but it has over the years become loaded with additional meaning from hearing folks saying for decades "liberal/marxist/communist" etc. I don't find the term offensive, although I generally describe myself as "progressive" rather than liberal.

Exactly.

No you didn't, and that is something I am pretty sure that I would remember if you did.

His party registration should be a matter of public record that anyone can find. If the photos are any indication, he sure doesn't appear to be transgender (the MAGA crowd here would be posting and starting threads saying "I told you so" if they had any information that he was).

White, an unaffiliated voter and not trans.
