their suggestions on how to actually make cities safer were all wonderful. but nowhere did they say the one thing that matters the most. REDUCE INEQUALITY BY TAXING THE ULTRA RICH.

seriously, how else do we fund the suggestions they just made? tax them bitches.

We could also decrease our military budget, but that would go hand in hand with reducing the money the wealthy have.

The hearing occurred amid heightened national tensions around immigration, with Trump and Republican rhetoric focusing on linking immigrant populations to crime.

The real criminal population that needs to be rounded up are conservatives.

I wild rather the left and right fight their common enemy. We can go back to bickering with each other after the dust settles.

You'd have to convince the right that billionaires are the enemy first, and the right only gets their news from those billionaires.

That is the sad truth.

This is why I've always maintained the distinction between conservatives and Republicans. Not all conservatives are Republicans, but all Republicans are toe the party line goose steppers. And there can be no compromise with fascists or white supremacists.

As my grandfather and first boss both would say when you asked them who they were voting for, "I'm a Republican. I vote for the nominee." Doesn't matter if it's Reagan, Stalin, Hitler, or Karl Marx risen from the grave to destroy the spectre of capitalism once and for all, so long as they have an R beside their name, that's all that matters.
