Do you think they helped him run every company he ever started into the ground? Eg. Trump air, trump university, trump steaks etc...Originally Posted by Phil B.
Do you think they helped his golf courses lose money year after year?
I know something else they did. They stole from a charity. What a great family. Although you being a self professed Christian must dislike them for that.
I think even the 2 Canadians on this site would admit that they feel foolish for having advocated that the police be defunded and replaced by social workers. Yes, if they're being honest they'd admit to being fools.
NYC IS SET TO BOOST POLICE BUDGET BIG TIME. MAYBE THEY WEREN’T THE PROBLEM AFTER ALL
A lot of us out here could have helped New York City avoid a big problem, if decision-makers had only listened. OutKick founder Clay Travis, as well as many others, have been warning people for well over a year about defunding the police.
Those warnings were largely ignored, including in New York.
After pressure from constituents who were calling for defunding the police, almost a billion dollars was slashed from the police budget last year. The NYPD makes up a sizable chunk of that budget. But those calling for reductions were successful.
The result? A large surge in violent crime that now has New York City mayor Bill de Blasio going the other direction. According to a tweet from Breaking911 on Monday night, the funding will increase by $105 million.
I’ll take “Things We Saw Coming” for $600, Alex.
Who didn’t see this coming? As much as people want to attack police departments, their presence deters crime. Not all crime, but a lot of it. Taking away the police’s ability to do their jobs effectively is almost always going to result in crime surges.
Unfortunately, it took decreasing funds for de Blasio and others to realize that.
For anyone holding out hope the police force will be abolished in New York City, that doesn’t look like it’s going to happen anytime soon. In fact, it seems that calls to defund the police have actually caused police budget increases, though at a terrible cost.
Clay recently went in on the absurdity of defunding the police, which you can view below.
They didn't fool me one bit I always knew he was a flaming uber liberal.
White House Insider: Biden Is Not Who the Public Thinks He Is
A person reportedly close to President Joe Biden’s White House said in a recent interview that the former vice president and long-serving former senator is an extreme liberal cloaked as a moderate, which is something his administration is taking advantage of.
In an Intelligencer article published last week about how the White House “polices language” to further its agenda, the outlet’s Olivia Nuzzi reported she had spoken with someone who claimed the Biden administration counts on people to brush off his radical policies and to instead focus on his more cordial past.
As a matter of strategy, the person cited by Nuzzi claimed Biden’s team relies on misdirection of who the president is at this point, now that he has pivoted to the far left.
The source, who was not named, was noted to be “close to the White House.”
“One very real possibility is this strategy works,” the source explained. “They may get criticism in think pieces about it, but at his hundred-day mark, Biden is the most liberal president we’ve had — and the public thinks he’s a moderate.”
“That’s a winning strategy to me. They’re willing to accept that you’re gonna write this piece as long as they know that swing voters in Colorado aren’t gonna read it,” the source concluded.
In essentially deceiving low-information consumers of media, the White House, per the source, expects them to ignore details and simply remember Biden once had a track record as a moderate.
Nuzzi, prior to quoting the source, cited a “gaffe” Biden uttered last month after playing a round of golf at a Delaware country club. That gaffe was to serve as Nuzzi’s evidence of how the White House has put a stranglehold on language that surrounds controversy.
“We’re gonna increase the numbers,” Biden told reporters when addressing the crisis on the border. “The problem was that the refugee part was working on the crisis that ended up on the border with young people, and we couldn’t do two things at once.”
The issue for Biden’s advisors was that he used the word “crisis” to describe the deteriorating situation on the country’s southern border. That was in spite of the fact his administration had taken a hardline stance against referring to the crisis as a “crisis.”
Biden’s “gaffe” generated some headlines, but his “crisis” admission was quickly forgotten, despite the fact it generated a storm of mainstream media coverage.
The saga and its coverage by Intelligencer did give a window into how the administration reportedly and intentionally manipulates policy messaging with linguistics to appear benign and seize the narrative.
Nuzzi commented that White House press secretary Jen Psaki explained away Biden’s crisis “gaffe” last month in a way that gave the administration wiggle room through the clever use of vague language.
“Reporters and opponents were quick to call this spin ‘backtracking,’ an incremental and mildly interesting development that passes for high drama in the new boring season of Washington,” Nuzzi wrote.
The reporter concluded that by redefining the language in cleaning up after Biden, the White House essentially succeeded in controlling the message, which is that “crisis” is a relative term and that the president had simply misspoken or not been clear.
The rest of the reported strategy, aside from policing language, is to apparently keep Biden out of the spotlight and let his reputation as an amiable senator with a bipartisan track record do the talking.
Nuzzi concluded the piece by quoting former Obama administration adviser David Axelrod, who expressed his displeasure with Biden’s lack of transparency, as he spent three years attempting to interview Biden.
But even Axelrod, who is now a CNN analyst, surrendered that he respected Biden being out of reach — even to him.
“I was frustrated,” Axelrod told Nuzzi. “But stepping back from my own selfish interests, I understood and admired [the discipline of Biden’s team]. They were going to control his interactions. Their job is not to serve us. Their job is to serve him.”
.... in Canada, defunding the police is never even a conversation that makes national attention.
In the USA, defunding the police does not mean abolishing the Police Dept. It means reallocating $ resources to other local municipal demands. Political interest groups warp the definition to whatever justifies their argument.
There's no nice way of saying this so I'll just say it: You're full of shit. You're delusional. And you consider yourself to be a smart person. No offense, buddy.

At Least 13 Cities Are Defunding Their Police Departments
those words all mean the same thing.... cops lose their jobs..
love to be there when a "counselor" tells a thug with a 9mm Semi... " Look son you don't want to do this... think about it ....KAPOW
criminals don't give a rats ass for listening to some fool (that's unarmed) " Look this isn't going to help your situation.
they are criminals for one reason and one reason only .. THEY COMMIT CRIMES and don't give a shit about laws.
Like NYC that cut funding for their PD's , they are NOW boosting funding because they found out the desperately NEED the PoPo to rein in the criminal elements in their cities.
.. the USA has the largest gun violence problem anywhere in the world, second to only some place like Yemen.
The Police have been forced to respond to this gun violence by adopting much more militaristic standard operating procedures which in turn requires much more financial resources to manage. A lot of the cries for "defund the police" are really cries for stop behaving like the military and stop shooting first and asking questions later.
People of color suffer disproportionately more police violence than white people and this is where the the "defund the police" movement started.
That's because "people of color" are out there gang banging. Hip Hip has made gang banging glorious. Black folk need to get their shit together and stop listening to while liberals like yourself who make excuses for them. You're dong them no favors. You're an enabler.
