British Prime Minister Liz Truss/Kevin McCarthy Agenda

The Chiefs are in KC, KC is nicer than St Louis. Any part of Missouri is nicer than St Louis.
St Louis had the Rams but they came back home to LA, St Louis had McDonnell Douglas but they left when Boeing bought them, they still have the Cardinal baseball team but they suck, they still have Anheuser Busch though and that stupid arch. lol

The Cardinals suck? There are many cities with MLB franchises that would love to have a team that "sucks" as much as the Cardinals have in their storied history.

A bit off topic?  This really should be 2 different topics because Truss is one situation in the UK and McCarthy potentially being speaker is another in a different country, the US.   Crime?  1 of the 4 talking points.....  Oh and then it diverged to football, what state is better than another, and so on.    Terrible thread.

At least six people were taken to a hospital, including the suspect, after a shooting Monday morning at Central Visual & Performing Arts High School in south St. Louis.

That chart is subjective, there's no way St Louis ranks higher than Sacramento.

Very sad, the shooter is also dead.

This is an opinion piece with some tables and charts thrown in to make it look like a "study." But even the biased authors don't call it a "study." They're calling it a "Legal Memorandum." Whatever.

The body of this propaganda piece is replete with the usual slings and arrows about the Left's "soft-on-crime" policies and the "lawlessness of blue cities."

The detail is even worse. These clowns claim to have refuted the idea that state murder rates are highest in red states by removing from the numbers the big cities (or counties) in those states.

So this "study" is telling us that murder rates are highest in urban areas. Wow, that's a shocker.

Why anyone would cite this article study propaganda piece as if it were worth a shit is beyond me.

Because conservatives have become an echo chamber: they can only repeat what others have told them, believing it rather than actually looking for corroborative information from something got her than Fox News/Newsmax/talking heads on YouTube.

It's not nonsense it's common sense.
Like I mentioned earlier about St Louis(which is controlled entirely by Democrats), if you exclude the crime rate there the rest of Missouri has a low crime rate. Almost every Democrat controlled city is a crime-ridden shithole.

Anyone visit Oakland lately?

I Visit Oakland ever 2 weeks or so, never had any trouble. So what's your point?

Common sense for a conservative is NOT common sense for a liberal. It's only common sense to me to have programs to feed the homeless, most conservatives would consider that a waste of taxpayer money, so don't think that phrase has any actual meaning except to people that think as you do.

[Romanticlover]

That's because leftists* don't have any common sense.

*I make a distinction between leftists and liberals, leftists are radical socialists and liberals are free thinkers.

[Blkfyre]

Also, you keep bagging on Oakland. I have been to Oakland once every 2 weeks or so. No sign of crime, nothing bad happening to me, no dirtier than any other city.

So are you just complaining from conservative talking points or have you personally had issues?

This thread has gone off from the economic comparison of the failed British economic policies and the Kevin McCarthy similar economic proposal...basically reduce taxes on the rich.

We have gone round and round about more crime in Republican held jurisdiction than Democrat. The reader can do their own research. Starting point. Link
