I knew Trump was going to drive me insane; should have known the media wouldn’t be any smarter than they ever have been.

Is hair made out of cotton candy the Asian community’s version of a pedo-stash?

Voting for Trump is a deplorable act. 100% of people considering, even for a moment, casting a vote for him are behaving deplorably.

If you don’t star Gristle’s comment, Well, you’re no friend of mine.

Part of it is the cultural popularity of football, part of it is that baseball is a skilled sport. Athleticism obviously helps, but there isn’t as close of a link between raw physical prowess (speed, strength, leaping ability...etc.) and success in baseball as there is in football. If you’re a good athlete, there’s…

Oh please. It’s the governor and his people. You may be shocked to learn this, but governors have teams. He has put his people in charge where he has the ability.

If/when it goes down, then you can make that argument.

You can’t write off a 70% jump in two years as a blip.

People typically use the term “black-on-black violence” as a shorthand for “gang violence within black communities.” If the specific words “black-on-black” are offensive to you because you find them demeaning, OK, I can understand that, but that doesn’t mean those words themselves are racist.

Fair enough, I see you said draft.

So, because men in the military can’t stop raping, we should continue to bar women from one of the primary pipelines to leadership in this country? Also, the military is a pretty decent way for underprivileged people to gain some legitimate authority.

This is a specious argument.

The civil liberties of Americans weren’t directly at risk. Definitely a war worth fighting, but first you just have the total impracticality of invading the US with WWII technology. That just wasn’t realistic. And second, without the US involved, you still have Hitler and Stalin battling it out.

I think it’s disrespectful for countless Americans who have come before us and have given their lives for this country.

1) The post refers to the broader work on the topic. There is a lot of research done on the drop in violence. There is very little research on the recent uptick in violence in Chicago because we’re in the middle of it. Smart people would look to similar situations.

I can agree with most of that.

Most evidence points away from that notion. The drop in crime occurred independently of numbers and nature of policing:

The “black on black crime is out of control!” narrative just happens to be true in Chicago. Are you kidding? I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone argue that black on black crime is NOT out of control here.

Lol, if you haven’t noticed, it’s this corrupt government that’s been bashing cops trying to federalize them you idiot.

Come on, man, there is no way you’re this stupid. You’re trying to be dense now.
