Baltimore and Chicago about to get the same assistance Washington, DC is getting

[DukeU]

Ok, so in all of those 7 times, were any of them constitutional? I don't see them being so. If the governor didnt call up the guard on his own, the president should have taken spoken with the governor and urged action.

Also, beyond that, the circumstances were quite different. Yes, crime is bad in some cities, but those 7 instances were surrounding major riots. Im not saying that makes it right, but it is a different situation.

If we're not going to follow the cotus, how can we expect the left to do it when they are in power?

The left is going to do what they want regardless of what Reps. do, that's already been proven in many ways.

My point is that protecting American citizens is the #1 job of government, state and federal.

If the states and local government aren't going to control crime, then it's the president's job to step in.

- Moore has stated that his siting the award on applications “was a mistake”. If you were told at the time you were awarded but had not yet received the Bronze Star or any other recognition, no need to apologize. The reality is he lied.

No, the reality is that he thought he had been awarded the medal, and when the Army was asked, they said, 'Um, yeah, we should have taken care of that."

- You don’t live in Maryland. I do. A surplus is a surplus. Democrats have been trying to diminish Hogan’s fiscal achievements over two terms by giving credit to COVID. This is all in an attempt to cover up Moore’s drastic fall to a deficit. Businesses and retirees are leaving the state to Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware and Pennsylvania.

Okay, whatever, dude. I'll just take facts and figures over your "feels", thanks.

Moore is being challenged by a lifelong Democrat supporter and businessman who will run as a Republican.

Don't worry, he'll lose. The 2026 will be a bloodbath for Republicans.

Wes Moore is using Maryland as a stepping stone to contend for President….. nothing wrong with that. He needs to win the second term to help him toward ms that goal but his fiscal management failures are going to make it hard for him to win.

Poll: 50% approve of Gov. Wes Moore, but support softens with Democrats

Just 68% of Democrats said Moore is doing an “excellent” or “good” job.

Add this to your facts and figures…. Under Wes Moore, Maryland lost its AAA Bond rating. First time since 1973.

Maryland loses triple-A bond rating from Moody's rating agency

Maryland has lost its triple-A bond rating from Moody’s. Maryland has held this top rating since 1973, and state officials have long cited it as a sign of state’s strong fiscal stewardship.

1. Link

2. That’s your opinion. SCOTUS disagrees.

3. So, we should do away with prisons, and normal people can just suck it…right?

4. We’ve tried that…remember Methadone clinics in the late 70s?

1) I don't do links unless I feel like them.
2) Warren Burger called the interpretation of the 2A upheld in Heller a fraud. He was right.
3) Prisons do more damage than good. Normal people get no benefit from locking up a kid for dealing a little weed.
4) No, we didn't "try that". The problem with the methadone programs is that they were inadequate.

They still are.

Yeah, I just really am looking at this constitutionally and, I get what you are saying, and you are 100% right, but, it just seems to go against the cotus.

Id much rather the governors look at what's happening in DC, and WANT that kind of change to where they would call in the guard on their own.

Had Trump been President a year plus with his policies, you might have an equivalency. You don’t. Moore has been Governor 3 years when the Maryland bond rating dropped. He owns it.

 

[drudge X]

Given we've exonerated 200 Death Row prisoners who were sent there in error, I don't think you want to speed that up.

Let's get realistic here. The Death Penalty is not a deterrent.

Only three reasons why people kill.

They are insane. The DP isn't going to stop that.
They are going through a moment of extreme stress. The DP isn't going to stop that, either.
Or they think they are really clever and aren't going to get caught. The DP isn't going to stop that.

They don't care and neither should society. Insanity plea is often used as an excuse. Anyone caught for murder with solid proof should be executed immediately after trial. We can argue that the trans dude didn't care. If he didn't kill himself, we need to set an example of him after trial so that future trans wannabe think twice and perhaps raising awareness for parents to keep an eye on the children more often.

Point is, Moody's looked at Trump's crazy and dropped out bond rating, but here you are, still drinking the bleach.

Moore had 2.5 years to implement and establish his policies and Moody’s stripped Maryland of its 50+ years of AAA Rating. Shifting to Trump is your best defense for that.

Again, keep drinking the bleach.

We explained why Moore inherited a mess from Hogan. Hogan had a shitload of COvid money he wasn't spending.

You haven’t explained anything other than the kool aid you are drinking. If what you are saying is validated about Moore inheriting Hogan’s “mess”, then the bond rating would have dropped very early on in Moore’s tenure. That did not happen. When Moodys did downgrade Maryland’s AAA for the first time in 50 years, it was not because of Hogan not spending COVID, it was because of higher taxes, more tax expenditures, and not a diversified economy when compaired to other States.

Moore did that…. Not Hogan. Not Trump.

1. Then you’re blowing smoke, but that’s ok, we knew that…

2. Burger? … How long has he been off the court now? Besides, he was in the dissent, and like it or not, 2a was upheld.

3. I couldn’t agree more, if it was only “a little weed”… We have far more serious drugs killing people today.

4. So, they tried what you’re advocating, they just didn’t do enough of it…That’s the battle cry of every dem socialist I’ve ever heard back to the late 70s…

You progs need fresh ideas. Until then, talk to the hand…

Nope. Hogan had a surplus because he got a bunch of money from Washington, so he was flush. Moore, on the other hand, had real expenses with decreased revenues.

1. Then you’re blowing smoke, but that’s ok, we knew that…

Nope, I don't do links because you Wingnuts can't read, anyway.

2. Burger? … How long has he been off the court now? Besides, he was in the dissent, and like it or not, 2a was upheld.

Burger was off the court when Heller was decided... For 200 years before the stupidity that was Heller, the 2A was about militias, not gun ownership. Because letting crazy people have a god-given right to a gun would be... you know... stupid.

3. I couldn’t agree more, if it was only “a little weed”… We have far more serious drugs killing people today.

So what? The biggest killer drug is alcohol, but it's legal and a big industry.

4. So, they tried what you’re advocating, they just didn’t do enough of it…That’s the battle cry of every dem socialist I’ve ever heard back to the late 70s…

They didn't try it, that's the point, dummy. Methadone worked fine if you were lucky enough to be included in a program, but the vast majority of addicts can't get into one. I'm going to break my own rules on links here, and share this gem from the Conservative CATO institute.

https://www.cato.org/policy-analysis/expand-access-methadone-treatment

In the United States before 1972, primary care physicians would prescribe methadone to people with OUD.<a href="https://www.cato.org/policy-analysis/expand-access-methadone-treatment#_ednref7">7</a> Since 1972, however, only government-approved opioid treatment programs (OTPs) have been able to dispense methadone to treat OUD. The Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970 required the secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services to “determine the appropriate methods of professional practice in the medical treatment of the narcotic addiction of various classes of narcotics addicts.”<a href="https://www.cato.org/policy-analysis/expand-access-methadone-treatment#_ednref8">8</a> As a result, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) places regulations and restrictions on organizations that seek to operate OTPs. OTPs must obtain certification from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to operate a narcotics treatment program. States must also license OTPs, imposing additional regulations and restrictions. The various layers of regulations obstruct the proliferation of OTPs.

These regulations impede access to methadone treatment by placing burdensome requirements on patients who seek it. For example, patients must wait one year from their diagnosis of OUD before they can begin receiving methadone, submit to drug testing, and take the methadone in the presence of clinic staff each day. These and other government obstacles explain why only about 400,000 people with OUD received methadone in 2019, though 1.6 million U.S. residents reported that they developed OUD that year.

You don’t know shit about bond ratings. Moore has expenses because he and the Democrats have run up the tab and decreased revenues because of increased taxes where businesses and people are leaving the state.

You also don’t live in Maryland. I do.

No, you don’t post links because there are none that back up your crazy.

You have a real problem understanding the constitution don’t you?

“…The right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed…period!

So what? The biggest killer drug is alcohol, but it's legal and a big industry.

Can’t even have a small point of agreement can you? Idiot.

Yet Moore is still more popular than Trump is.
