The Truth

And before Trump runs his racist mouth about Baltimore,

Mayor Brandon Scott annouces crime in Baltimore continues to drop​

On Monday, Mayor Brandon Scott announced that Baltimore is continuing to see a historic reduction in crime.

Compared to 2024, the city has seen a 23.6% drop in homicides and a 23.4% drop in non-fatal shootings, the fewest number of homicides in the first five months of any year on record.

Through the first five months of 2024, Baltimore recorded 71 homicides and 166 non-fatal shootings. Through the first five months of 2025, Baltimore has recorded 51 homicides and 126 non-fatal shootings.

The number of homicides seen in the first five months of 2025 are the fewest recorded of any year on record, per the Mayor's Office.

In April, Baltimore recorded only five homicides, the fewest ever recorded in a single month.

Officials say Baltimore has also seen a drop in auto thefts and robberies, with auto thefts being down 33% and robberies being down 22%.


These black mayors, unlike pasty white Donald Trump, understand the root causes of the problem. They have moved to create the things that address that root cause. The progress would be quicker if the government provided the resources necessary to fix the decades' worth of damage due to the root cause. But since Trump is part of the root cause, along with the arrogance that comes with it, we see a non-solution being implemented that will only make things worse.
wow, massive reductions since 2024! Thanks Trump!
 
Of course you are, you haven't addressed the issue, instead posted some links to some random people that were being prosecuted.

Yet you haven't addressed the issue or answered the question of why your party protected Epstein and shared classified material with a convicted child sex predator.

The GOP didn't do those things, frankly, you list showed they prosecute them, not protect them or share classified material with them
THE GOP is ground zero for pedophiles. You want me to post the list... again? Epstein is one case and it clearly revolves around Trump. I have NO IDEA if anyone else is involved with Epstein. There has been nothing released so I cant really say. ALL I KNOW is that the GOP has lots and lots of pedos in it, as I listed, and Trump seems wary to release the Epstein stuff. I doubt there is a list that says "my pedo buddies" from Epstein that lists anyone much less Trump. But I guarantee there is embarrassing stuff for Trump in there. Probably more stuff like that birthday card. Cant convict anyone based on a creepy birthday card but it is suspect as ****.

We have highlighted that's not the case at all. We have highlighted through your links and mine, that the GOP will prosecute them, and your party protects them so long as they are members of your party. Trump has released more Epstein stuff then Xiden did, why? Clearly, the GOP is the party of transparency and prosecuting them...your party not so much

Yea. Lets celebrate that the GOP has 40 39 prosecuted and convicted child sex offenders. Woo hoo! You realize you are trying to spin all those creeps as good news? What a moron.
 
How are you not appalled by that list? That is only the one's caught. How many are not caught out there fondling now? Thousands. You support a pedo infested party. Nasty. And you dismiss it. Gross.

FYI I think something along these lines earned me a 2 week time out
 
Larry Brinkin is your hero. You even celebrated larry Brinkin week. Kamala Harris let your pedophile off with no prison.
The fact you have to go back 13 years to dig up a case when I listed 40 over the last few years including a dozen in the last year is hilarious. I would like to say I am glad that guy got caught 13 years ago and I am glad the Dems really cleaned them out as evident from the lack of issues in the last decade or so. Sadly the GOP cant do the same.

well yeah it's good news. Prosecuting sex offenders is a good thing...a bad thing is when the Dems try to get their donors of sex offender registries https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/09/us/jeffrey-epstein-sex-offender

and then the Obama admin did nothing for 8 years, while he continued to abuse people, in fact they shared classified material with another sex offender.

Why do you think prosecuting sex offenders is a bad thing? That's really the issue, and it's frankly appalling.
 
How did an orange fat guy convince half of America to hate the other half with so much vitriol that they would cheer seeing jackboots in the streets and masked brownshirts dragging people off. What price liberty? Hate. Hate has enough value to undo liberty and democracy.
hating the other half started long before trump...
 
What Trump is doing shows the absolute ignorance right-wing whites have relative to this issue. Will putting troops in DC stop the causes that create crime? No. They will only increase the anger the citizens have, and inevitably, there is going to be some racist idiot in the people sent there who is going to do something stupid, and then all hell will break loose. So instead of using federal resources to create things that can serve as alternatives to the things that cause crime, we see this.

Why bring race into this?


...oh wait...never mind...lol. S.O.P.
 
hating the other half started long before trump...
I disagree. You did not see a President calling half the country vermin, and other names while declaring they are trying to "destroy" America. None of that existed pre-Trump and Biden never used that language for broad swaths of the populace, nor did the Bushes, Obama, nor Clinton. Their criticism was specific to political leaders. Even Lincoln during the vicious Civil War avoided demonizing southerners in public remarks.

The outliers were:
  • Andrew Johnson (Post Civil War): In the Reconstruction era, he accused Radical Republicans (and their supporters in the North) of plotting to destroy the Union and take away the rights of white Southerners. His language toward abolitionists and Black political leaders was extremely hostile.
  • Woodrow Wilson (WWI): He promoted the idea that “disloyal” Americans (German-Americans or antiwar activists) were dangerous traitors.
  • Trump (Realtime): His framing of nearly half the country’s voters as vermin and radical extremists in nearly every speech aligned with people who “hate America” has been the most sustained and public version of divisiveness in at least 50 years.
Nixon was a divider but not at the level of others:
  • Richard Nixon (1970's): While he didn’t directly call antiwar protesters traitors in official addresses, his “silent majority” speeches painted them as harmful to the nation, and his private comments were far harsher.

Trumps divisiveness in unprecedented.
 
Look at all the pedophiles you disgusting ***** elect and hire:

Uh huh, now post the ones that the democrats are guilty of. You seemed to have spent a lot of time compiling a list of guilty republicans, but glossed over the guilty democrats.
 
Crime rose during Trump's first term. So now he has decided to try using troops to act as police in a US city again. And he has threatened to send troops only to certain cities that coincidentally have democratic mayors. This is fascism. So as Trump tells the nation a dystopian tall tale, the truth must be shown.

Violent Crime in D.C. Hits 30 Year Low​

Total violent crime for 2024 in the District of Columbia is down 35% from 2023 and is the lowest it has been in over 30 years, according to data collected by the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) and announced by United States Attorney Matthew M. Graves. A breakdown of the data is available here.

In addition to the overall violent crime reduction, homicides are down 32%; robberies are down 39%; armed carjackings are down 53%; assaults with a dangerous weapon are down 27% when compared with 2023 levels, with the District reporting the fewest assaults with dangerous weapons and burglaries in over 30 years.

Every sane American knows what's going on here. Crime is down in DC. This move is not necessary, and it would not have been done if not for Epstein and the overall dissatisfaction with the job Trump is doing.
The truth is DC and many large cities are shitholes.
 
A 30 year low doesn’t mean shit when it’s as dangerous as it is.
It’s 90% likely you’ll be raped instead of 93%.
Try thinking.
The fascist right doesn’t care about facts and the truth.

They’ll continue to lie about ‘crime’ in an effort to ‘justify’ Trump’s fascist regime and his endless crimes and lawless abuse of power.
 
Uh huh, now post the ones that the democrats are guilty of. You seemed to have spent a lot of time compiling a list of guilty republicans, but glossed over the guilty democrats.
Honestly you guys go on and on about it with a blind spot so I accumulated them over the last year so you can be fully informed. Middle aged white men are the primary offenders and tend to lean heavily toward the GOP. You can be sure that there are some the other way but it is a number less than half. I suspect it has to do with the percent of middle aged white dudes being lower. Not sure. Feel free to start a research project on it although the government doesnt fund studies anymore. Blame DOGE.
 
Why bring race into this?


...oh wait...never mind...lol. S.O.P.
Because race is why Trump chose DC. You don't get it, white man. We who have faced white racism know when racism is the cause of things.

You wouldn't know its half because you've never looked it up. You spent all your time specifically looking for white GOP people to point the finger at
 
Because race is why Trump chose DC.

Proof?


You don't get it, white man.

I do get it, Guatemalan man.

We who have faced white racism know when racism is the cause of things.

Yeah, we know :rolleyes: you think you know what other people are thinking and you call damn near everything "racist", for what reason, I have no idea.

Did ya ever think that..maybe its not everyone else...but maybe its just you? You spend so much time mired in anti white hate and youtubers filling your mind with racism talk that you think EVERYTHING is racist. Hell, you think im a white male simply because of my positions on things, which is stereotyping, and thats racist!

I call what racism is racism. Whites like you spend all your time trying to tell us what we see isn't so. Scrw you.

I don't hate whites. I hate whites who are racist. Are you trying to tell me all whites are racist? I know it's not me because there are whites in this forum I get along with very well. The only people who have a problem are the white racists who think they can gaslight us into being quiet. You defend and excuse racism. That's why I think you are white. You say everything the whites who are racists say. Everybody white doesn't defend racism, and everybody white doesn't try telling blacks how they see racism in everything or that somebody else is filling my mind with something. Only right-wing white racists do that.
