What is it that you think the Republicans can/will do?

Yes, it's pretend. Violent crime dropped in 2021 compared to 2020, and it is far below the levels of the 1990s and 2000s. It is on par with 2017. And to hear Republicans tell it, we are in a hellscape of violent crime. We aren't. You bought what they are selling, but what they're selling is total bullshit. And they HAVE NO PLAN to fix this imaginary problem. But they DO have a plan to fix the imaginary problem of voter fraud. This election is very simple. Republicans SHOULD be swept out enmasse. It won't happen, but it absolutely should. There are hundreds of election deniers running for offices all over the country. Guess how many are Democrats? Zero. The Republican party is engaged in a silent coup, and anyone who votes for them is giving tacit support to that coup. It is in plain sight. We already have some AG candidates and gubernatorial candidates who say they would have certified the election for Trump in states that Biden won. If they get away with this, democracy is dead. Period. If you vote for them, you are enabling them. No other issue matters if we lose free and fair elections, and that's what's about to happen.

Of course it's relevant. And the hyperbolic statements of Republicans are simply lies. Here is the truth. BTW, 2017 was fie years ago. Read the chart and tell me how awful crime is. I'll wait.

You appear unwilling to comment on the election denial issue. Anything to say about the Republican position on that?

You linked to an article that the author questions the reliability of the data because it left out some of the biggest cities in the country.

I commented about the pretend crime claim in the OP. Election denial is a whole other topic.

I disagree. They are inexorably linked. Are you willing to vote for election deniers in service of addressing this 'crime wave'? And how exactly are Republicans going to fix 8t? Do they have a plan? Because I haven't seen one. Haven't seen how they plan to fix inflation either. Because there isn't one. Basically, Republicans are selling you a bill of goods so they can permanently seize power. I have no idea why we as a country are standing idly by while this happens. Maybe you can explain it to me.

:laugh:

The following is from your own link:

'There are questions about the reliability of the FBI's crime report as it excluded data from some of the biggest US cities, including New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco.'

Any more useless statistics you want to post?

Oh...and even this flawed report shows that murders are up 4% over last year.


Dang...do you read ANYTHING that you post?

WRONG!!!

You simply raise the prime rate (as the Fed is doing) to cool down the economy.
Simple.
Economics 101.

And you did not even know that.
So noted.

Have a nice day.

Clipping the EPA's wings yet again would be great. Obama and Biden both weaponised the agency. Their latest campaign to limit ozone is truly retarded, are they going to ban every DC electric motor in the process as well?

Biden’s Raid on the Permian Basin

A new ozone decision would force less drilling in America’s most productive shale reserve.

President Biden and his aides keep saying they’re doing everything they can to produce more oil and gas in the U.S. Apparently they think Americans aren’t paying attention, because his Administration keeps making rule after rule to throttle production.

The latest comes from the Environmental Protection Agency, which has announced it may soon deem parts of the Permian Basin in Texas and New Mexico in “non-attainment” with its ozone standards. Green groups last spring petitioned the EPA to do this to effectively force curbs on shale fracking. The Permian is currently the most productive, and cost-effective, oil shale reserve in the U.S. It accounts for 43% of U.S. oil production.

“The EPA’s process could interfere in the production of oil in Texas which could lead to skyrocketing prices at the pump by reducing production, increase the cost of that production, or do both,” Texas Gov. Greg Abbott wrote Mr. Biden this week. “Your administration’s announced action is completely discretionary. Thus, you have the power to stop it.”

Drilling produces volatile organic compounds (VOC) that create ozone when mixed with nitrogen oxides (e.g., from vehicles) and sunshine. EPA recently started using solar-powered air sampling systems to remotely measure emissions in the Permian. If EPA deems them too high, Texas and New Mexico would have to propose plans to reduce ozone, which would likely require limits on drilling.

The Democrat states that shut down helped kill the economy. Trump did not do that he wanted to chill things down for 2 weeks not for months and months. The economy of places like Florida and Texas did much better than Michigan and New York .

Florida and Texas got much more Federal money. If it was not because they were hurting, maybe they should return the money.

I think their main focus is banning woke school books, banning abortion, and flying asylum seekers around the country in private chartered luxury jets.

They won't do anything except shred the Constitution and blame the Democrats.

I never vote for a party that believes banning things and limiting rights is the path to freedom. :D
