She got away with it? How is that possible without written proof?

As Executor I sold Dads 20 acre property in the CA Redwoodsl. She got 1/4th is all, same as the rest of us. She collected his cash at a savings and loan.

Debating means we are primarily not agreeing. Conversation which I do mostly means talking and giving ideas and facts and opinions.

Definition of debate is making your point and using data, statistics and facts, and then the other side trying to show that you are wrong and using the same to prove their point.?you are 100% wrong

Conservatives tend to be more honest than Democrats. Typically morality is on our side not yours.
"To sum up, conservatives are more virtuous, mainly because of their childhood formation. They also are more likely than liberals to have faith and believe morality, including honesty, is objective and thus nonnegotiable. Liberals generally don’t believe in God and Truth, in a real sense. They are defined by moral relativism."

Are Republicans really more honest than Democrats? The two groups’ characteristic professions may provide some insight.

You need to prove your statements because generally all Trump supporters make these false statements (that they believe are true) because of what Trump said. Nonetheless, Trump is a proven pathological liar and as such, if you are to be believed when you say things like this, you need to prove it.

In doing research on your statement, this is what I found:

Who’s softer on crime? Democrats or Republicans?​

Turns out neither. New research finds mayors on both sides mixed in implementing effective policies.​

Many Republican political candidates and leaders accused their Democratic counterparts of being soft on crime during the run-up to the 2024 elections. Concerns over the safety of the nation’s cities has been a longstanding — and potent — political issue.

But how much influence do elected officials actually have over crime rates? Are localities with Democratic mayors less safe than those run by Republicans? Are they less generous with funding for police or more prescriptive on enforcement or diversity in hiring? New research examined data from 400 U.S. cities over nearly three decades and found the political affiliation of mayors made little difference when it comes to crime rates and policing.

We wouldn't be in the position where in now if Joe Biden hadn't failed in his presidency.

No. Clinton was a great president PERIOD.

Bush was handed a great economy and he fucked it up. You want to blame a bubble burst and ignore all the tax breaks, deregulations and wars he launched.

If you notice Biden got us out of economic trouble fairly pain free. Sure inflation sucked but unemployment was low, companies were hiring. Bush's policies he implemented did more harm to our economy than the small recession he was handed. Add up everything Bush did, or didn't do, in the 8 years he was president and HE was the reason for the Greatest Recession we've seen since the Great...

Like I said, we wouldn't be in this predicament if democrats hadn't been soft on crime. And, even now, democrats are soft on crime and refuse to be tough on it. Even if Trump cleans up every city in the US for a while, as soon as control is given back to demcorats they'd do the very same damn thing all over again because being soft on crime is in their DNA.

Here's how it is going to play out: Trump is going to clean up DC and do whatever it takes to keep DC safe, despite democrats wanting high crime. In the rest of the country, courts will rule that Trump can't use his police state to clean up crime so every large city in the US will have high crime rates while DC will the only safe city in the entire country. Then when 2026 and 2028 comes around Republicans will hit hard on Democrats being so soft on crime and refusing to clean up their cities, forcing you guys to argue that you are for higher crime and criminal's rights, accepting high crime rates. The only ones voting for you will be the criminals and you will be arguing that convicted felons should have the right to vote.

Haha, you go ahead and run on supporting a police state. Last I checked most Americans were anti communism. China and North Korea have low crime too. If that’s what you want then keep cheering

 

[Slade3200]

That is classic for Democrats to make claims such as yours.

What claims?

 

[Slade3200]

My exact reaction when I read your nonsense. Especially when you can’t explain or back it up?

 

[knuckles]

Very powerful story. A must read. Too many great points throughout the story to post them all. Do democrats even dare to read it?

One Year Ago Today I Ruined My Life

One year ago today, on August 24th, 2024, I was freshly back from three days at the Democratic National Convention.

From the article:

The answer is NEVER.

In fact, more Democrats should’ve had the courage to speak out about Kamala’s candidacy, and the direction of the party in general. My only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner. It took me returning to “ground zero” of the machine at the DNC, to come to terms with what I’d known to be true for years, but wouldn’t allow myself to say out loud.

The Democratic party stopped speaking to its working class base.

The Democratic party lost touch with the pulse of America.

The Democratic party needed to learn a tough, hard lesson.

81% of Americans think crime is out of control, even if it is "down". And, the majority of Americans support Trump's crack down. So, you go ahead and keep on attacking the "police state".

Sadly a large number of people supported (support) Jim Crow laws.

Truth be told. This video should taught in all public schools, repeated yearly.

I would assume that the vast majority of Americans Right and Left are anti crime and support efforts to fight it. I sure am. That doesn’t mean they or I support extreme tactics and a police state. Some of us still want to live in a free Republic.

Hey if you really want to crack down why don’t we institute a curfew and confiscate guns. That would surely bring down crime. Right? Would you support that?

 

[Luckyone]

What the f*** does that video have "anything" to do with the OP or with our discussion?

are you insane?

 

[Independent thinker]

I don't even know what that means. Does that mean you are for crime?

 

[Slade3200]

Democrats never talk about what they offer, only bashing Trump

That’s a pretty hollow statement. What specifically are you referring to? This crime situation?

 

[Slade3200]

I don't even know what that means. Does that mean you are for crime?

Sounds like they mean that what the “majority” supports isn’t always what’s right or best for our country.

In this case not supporting and authoritarian police state would be the example. There are plenty of other ways to address crime in cities. It’s not an all or nothing thing like you’re painting
