I vowed not to create new topics because a certain moderator takes them down in spite of following all the guidelines, and USMB doesn't seem interested to address the problem, but I have to ask people why they would vote Democrat? In light of recent events, it's clear that Democrats want a lawless society. Let's look at their stance when it comes to the protection of American citizens:
* The elimination of ICE, an agency that protects our borders and handles those who illegally enter our country.
* Cuts in military budgets, that weaken our military forces against aggressive nations.
* Disarm law abiding citizens, so we virtually have no real defense against the criminal element.
* Tabeling Kates Law, which would have given a stronger deterrent to deported felons who re-entered our country.
* And finally, Democrat Governors and Mayors, who want to defund their police force thus making them much less effective.
So why would anybody in their right mind vote for a candidate or party that takes these positions? Why in the world would you want to see a defenseless America? It truly baffles the mind. I don't care how much anybody hates President Trump. Imagine a country if the Democrats had their way.
Kind of doubt the elimination of Ice will be part of the platform this year. So much for that.
Military spending:
In early 2019, the Trump administration doubled down by proposing a new $750 billion annual budget for the next fiscal year — the largest ever —
[2nd largest being the year 2011 at 711.34 Billion (4.58% of GDP the highest since gulf war 1)] <a href='
U.S. Military Spending/Defense Budget 1960-2020'> even as the president reportedly had second thoughts on what he called the Pentagon's "crazy" spending spree. A two-year budget deal hashed out last year set a topline of $738 billion for fiscal 2020 and $741 billion for the following year.
Some Democratic leaders accuse the Trump administration of
crying wolf when it contends it needs every penny -- especially since it was able to redirect billions from previously approved Defense Department funds to pay for a border barrier.https://www.politico.com/2020-election/candidates-views-on-the-issues/military/defense-spending/
With all the riots during this spring, I wouldn't be looking for much of a push on gun control, so I doubt anyone is going to be disarmed.
Kate's law- I have no problem with Kate's law and manditory sentencing guidelines, But I got to point out the president is rather proud of the crime bill recently passed, reducing manditory sentencing guidelines almost across the board and has attacked his Democratic rival for supporting mandatory sentencing 30 plus years ago.
Governors and Mayors wanting to de-fund their police force. Right. Let me know when they de-fund their police forces, but I doubt I will be hearing from you anytime soon. Sometimes they spout as much nonsense as Donnie.
I am voting for Joe Biden to bring sanity back to the white house, before the Idiot we have makes us a police state with Federal troops patrolling our streets, though I think they talked him out it for the moment as the troops from the 82nd airborn were not deployed to the streets and have been sent back to Ft. Bragg.
