  1. Listening to his recent speeches, he may indeed be suffering from dementia.
  2. Just posting her name makes MAGA heads explode around here.
  3. Probably a lot cheaper than paying for a 24/7 occupying force of US Troops.
  4. From my Google AI friend. AI Overview Solving Chicago's murder problem requires a multifaceted, community-centered approach, including evidence-based violence reduction strategies like street outreach and focused deterrence, increased collaboration between law enforcement and community organizations, greater investment in social services and mental health care, and efforts to address underlying causes of crime such as poverty and unemployment. Data-driven decision-making and programs like the City of Chicago's Violence Reduction Dashboard are also crucial for tracking progress and targeting interventions.
  5. Fun Fact: Occupying the streets of any major city with armed troops will make it safer. But unless Trump intends to station the National Guard or US military permanently in Chicago, it will just be a short term fix and the crime rate will return to normal once the NG are removed.
  6. With Trump appearing to send the US economy over a cliff with his tariffs, it seems not a question of if, but when there will be a recession. In this thread we can discuss the events leading up to this and the consequences once it hits. Hope I am wrong on this but I kinda doubt it. https://x.com/kylegriffin1/status/1909984660974690757 JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon says on Fox Business the U.S. economy is likely headed for a recession as a result of Trump’s tariffs.
  7. https://twitter.com/grok/status/1960723873063952412 The shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church and School in Minneapolis is confirmed by multiple news sources like NBC, Reuters, and local outlets, with reports of around 20 victims and the suspect dead. However, claims about the shooter being a former employee accused of misconduct aren't verified in reliable reports yet.
  8. Now the OP has added "retarded" to the derogatory description of Greta Thunberg. And qualifying it with "perhaps" doesn't make it any better.
  9. The Labor Day weekend violence still does not justify occupying the city with the National Guard.
  10. I doubt it. Horseman's comments are never this inane.
  11. SMH How can anyone be critical or opposed to bringing food, water and medicine to civilians in the Gaza Strip? And what relevance does her being autistic have to do with anything in this discussion?
  12. https://x.com/kylegriffin1/status/1961414793845227825 Breaking on MSNBC: Trump just revoked Secret Service protection for Vice President Kamala Harris. VPs typically only get six months of protection after leaving office, but President Biden signed a memorandum extending Harris' protection to 18 months.
  13. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/trump-threatens-federal-takeover-of-dc-after-attack-on-former-doge-worker Trump threatens federal takeover of DC after attack on former DOGE worker WASHINGTON (AP) — Two 15-year-olds have been arrested in Washington in connection with the attempted carjacking and beating of one of the most prominent members of the Department of Government Efficiency, renewing calls from President Donald Trump for the federal government to seize control of the nation’s capital. The victim, Edward Coristine, nicknamed “Big Balls,” was among the most visible figures of Trump’s DOGE, which was tasked with slashing federal bureaucracy. Coristine was assaulted around 3 a.m. Sunday in the city’s Logan Circle neighborhood by a group of teenagers attempting to carjack him and a woman whom police identified as his significant other, according to authorities. The Metropolitan Police Department said the group approached the couple’s car and made a comment about taking it. Coristine pushed the woman into the vehicle for safety and turned to confront the group. At least several of the teens then attacked him, police said, until officers patrolling nearby intervened. As officers moved toward the group, the teens fled on foot. Two 15-year-olds from Maryland were arrested on charges of unarmed carjacking, police said. The attack gave new fuel to long-standing Republican efforts to challenge Washington’s autonomy, with Trump threatening to bypass local authority and impose direct federal control over the city. In a social media post and remarks at the White House on Tuesday, the president described crime in Washington as “out of control.” “If D.C. doesn’t get its act together, and quickly, we will have no choice but to take Federal control of the City, and run this City how it should be run, and put criminals on notice that they’re not going to get away with it anymore,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
  14. Since when has The Geek Club been representative of the US male population in any respect?
  15. Hmm...from the Twitters: There are no photos of Trump playing golf yesterday, but lots of old photos they’re trying to pass off as from yesterday.
  16. Yeah, the authorities are funny that way and for some reason treat any death threat of a politician seriously, even though most assassin's just act without giving any warning of their intentions.

    Official Gavin Newsom Thread

    https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/status/1955334764962938912 (Newsom's letter to Trump at link) Gov. Newsom to Trump: "You are playing with fire, risking the destabilization of our democracy, while knowing that California can neutralize any gains you hope to make." "If you will not stand down, I will be forced to lead an effort to redraw the maps in California to offset the rigging of maps in red states."
  18. For what it is worth, I have read that of the three Manning brothers. Cooper Manning was the superior athlete and had the most natural football talent before a career-ending spinal stenosis diagnosis ended his playing days just before his freshman season at Ole Miss. Cooper was a highly-touted All-American receiver who was expected to be the first Manning to reach the NFL.
  19. You can't make this stuff up.
  20. I only posted it once, but for some reason you copied it twice. As far as not receiving more threats, I don't recall any VPs dealing with something like this after leaving office: March 2025 arrest: In March 2025, after Harris left office, a Florida man was arrested for allegedly threatening to kill her with a sniper rifle.
  21. And what other VP has received the same threat level of violence that she has? Considering that Trump has never had a problem breaking precedent or tradition it is laughable that the MAGA crowd would be outraged about this.
  22. Exactly. I don't know why the Harris haters would have an issue with some additional protection time.
