• Don't Defund My Police

    From Aaron Thomas@1:342/200 to All on Tue Feb 6 06:48:46 2024
    The Binghamton city council (Binghamton NY) announced that there will be a referendum vote on whether or not to abolish the Binghamton Police Department.

    They're Democrats - but surprise, right?

    One of the council members says it's "part of an effort to support civic engagement and not representative of a desire by the Democrats who control Council to defund the police. But yea right. It's totally Democrats, and it's totally the city council who are behind it. They're being paid by someone with a lot more money than the city's payroll.

    This comes in wake of record-breaking arrests, crime, and lack of punishment put into motion by Andrew Cuomo and Cathy Hochul. Less police is the answer to all that, so they say.

    The council member said "The city will save money by letting the sheriff's office and state police patrol the city instead."

    But the lefties said I was delusional when I said "Democrats want to defund police."

    They're Democrats - but surprise, right?

    One of our state legislators, a MAGA Republican, has introduced a bill to allow our municipal utility company to be bought by an outside firm. Currently, no outside firms (aside from other munis and possibly the TVA) have rates that are not significantly higher than ours.

    All so that he can line his pockets.

    No real surprise here, either.

    Ahead of the 2020 "election," Thomas Sowell said that Biden's negative effect on America could be similar to the fall of the Roman Empire (sounds bad!)

    The way that Biden handles everything should be a wake-up call for voters.

    The leftist political commentators from Fidonet have all disappeared in wake of Biden's disasters. It's just Lee and Alan now (there used to be many more.)

    I sense that those other guys have figured out that they were being brainwashed, and they've since moved on with their lives knowing that they won't be fooled twice.

    I think we may be at ore near the end. This whole border thing, self made issue, has made me think this is so. The bipartisan border deal wasn't even out 24 hours before Mitch was waving people off and saying not to vote for it.

    If the deal passed it would have hamstrung Trump in any attempt to fix it...

    The impeachment may not go through because of RINOs...

    The country's political system is sick...

    DC appeals court not bitting on Trumps assertion on immunity... Off to the Supreme Court I guess... Until them we can sue Obama for killing Americans in a drone strike and putting kids in cages... Pandora's Box is open!!!

    Mitch McConnell is discouraging the "border" deal? That's cool. I give him credit for that. He's not always useless.

    I haven't read the bill, but I got the highlights from Dan Bongino today. He said the "deal" still allows thousands of illegals to enter the country daily.

    And if Republicans don't vote for it, then the narrative is that "Republicans are to blame for the border crisis." (Bongino didn't say that part but that's how I see it.)

    The impeachment may not go through because of RINOs...

    It seems obvious that Biden is squandering historical amounts of money. When a criminal mastermind makes a decision to do a big job, they must budget for paying off a lot of people.

    Good point! Let them set the precedent! We'll fix Obama and Biden both.

    He is useless... He started to back peddle after the backlash...


    I haven't read the bill, but I got the highlights from Dan Bongino
    today. He said the "deal" still allows thousands of illegals to enter
    the country daily.


    And as a function of time more and more comes out on how bad the deal was... Absolutely nothing in the deal for the American people and everything for the migrants and Uni-party


    And if Republicans don't vote for it, then the narrative is that "Republicans are to blame for the border crisis." (Bongino didn't say
    that part but that's how I see it.)


    There were only 2 reasons behind the bill... Either give Joe Biden a win on the border or an excuse... To be honest with you, I think we are way beyond excuses now...

    BTW, there was a hidden reason for it passing... If it did pass it would have hamstrung Trump in deporting and dealing with a real solution.


    It seems obvious that Biden is squandering historical amounts of money. When a criminal mastermind makes a decision to do a big job, they must budget for paying off a lot of people.


    It is argued that he's intentionally doing so... The left, AKA the Democrats, hate America and want a 1 party system... So they are doing everything to change the voting pool and tank the US dollar and status in the world.


    Good point! Let them set the precedent! We'll fix Obama and Biden both.


    The right needs to find a right leaning state... and even better a MAGA leaning county and start this law-fare BS with those 2.

    The DC appeals court rejection just means it goes to the US Supreme Court... and thank god there are some "normal" justices on the bench... While there is one who doesn't know what a woman is...

    Yes it certainly would. Remember we had a similar discussion a month or so ago. You were surprised that Republicans were going after gay marriage, which is something you don't care about. I warned you then that you need to pay more attention to what your MAGA Republicans are up to.

    This one wants our utilities. Another, who was endorsed by Trump himself, wanted to be able to track the movements of our female citizens of childbearing years, particularly if they visit Illinois or Ohio. Luckily that one lost.

    All so that he can line his pockets.

    No real surprise here, either.

    It might come as a shocker to his supporters. ):

    Some of them. The Republican Legislature redrew our boundaries so we lost our good Republican rep and got stuck with a MAGA Bozo who is not from our area.

    "Conspiracy Theorist" now has a new definition: The one who was right all along.

    And even if they don't end up dissolving the police department, they already have put the idea in peoples' heads. So when they put the plan in motion, we'll already be desensitized to it.

    News about Democrats wanting to "save money" is almost unheard of, and apparently the only way they know how is by defunding the police.

    That's why it's good that DeSantis is not running for president. You
    need him to stay put.


    Florida is the best state... During the sumer of love, BLM & ANTIFA riots, Sheriffs told citizens to arm themselves and protect their property with deadly force if need be...

    Riots in Florida were short lived.

    The people who we need to pass those laws, are the people who don't want those laws passed.


    This is true... and its why they don't like Trump, he's an outsider... This happened back in the early 1900s when oil companies were bribing elected officials to grow their business. Soooooooo many elected officials were caught getting bribed... Kinda like what happened in NY recently. People seem to get into politics not for public service but rather corruption.

    Sad state of affairs

    We need to pass laws that prevents our elected officials to enrich themselves and term limits. To see Pelosi and Mitch become wealthy
    beyond belief... puzzling... There is no way Ken Buck's vote(s) reflect his constituents anymore... our political system is broken... Lets focus and get it fixed.

    They go in there saying "I'm gonna fix America" and then once they get comfy at their new desk, they act like they never said that.

    And it's mysterious. What would cause 535 people to act that way? Oh I know: Money.

    Lets be hopeful... You are correct... But we'll see if we can vote out the commies and RINOs and start to mend this country.
