Is Biden really that bad?

[schuylaar]

I'm glad to see that Biden isn't pushing that stupid defund the police nonsense and is requesting more money. Let's hope he gets this funding through Congress. I'm sure a bunch of Democrats are going to try and block it. Defunding the police was stupid to begin with.


"According to the White House, the requested funding would be used in hiring and training 100,000 new police officers for "accountable community policing," clearing court backlogs, solving murders and setting up community task forces to share intelligence. The funds would also target crimes not directly related to guns, such as fentanyl trafficking. "

The police are not the be all, end all. "defund" simply meant just that..you don't need an AR-15 to kill a mosquito; just by having them show can be more of an instigation than not.

Meet the STAR program.

Denver successfully sent mental health professionals, not police, to hundreds of calls

The STAR program was able to respond to 748 calls in 6 months. No calls required the assistance of police, and no one was arrested.

I bet 36 billion will go to taking away our guns, and maybe a billion will go to training high school level civilians to solve murders, instead of real commissioned officers. I just read the paper today that my city is doing that already, hiring people to do those specific tasks, to make up for the lost police force. Just need a high school diploma, lol. Even though the city already has the money to pay for the missing officers full salaries, and no one wants to do the job, they'll give you a few bucks an hour to risk your life dealing with crazies.

I'm not worried about the "taking away our guns nonsense". That's just crap that has been floating around for decades. Obama was going to take your guns. That never happened. That's just intended fear spread by the NRA and gun manufacturers so they can raise money and sell more guns. Nobody's taking away anyone's guns.

America only has 330M people less the 1M pandemic deaths. I think your math is off.

that's awesome, every city needs a fleet of those...
and some training for the cops, so they know when it's appropriate to use force, and how much to use...

Imo the important thing to do is end the “law enforcement exemption” that allows police to buy and use weapons disallowed to other civilians.

Getting that past their union will be nontrivial.

Meet the 96 billion dollar fly some mannequins over the moon mission. Its going to do so much to solve our current problems, just like it did 50 years ago.

There are millions of unemployed young black men who can become cops, problem solved. A new domestic terrorist law and a domestic terrorist watch list, with no guns or fly for those on it will help a lot too, give the FBI the tools and they will do the job.

It was a stupid slogan. We deserve a lot more for the money spent on policing and far less brutality. A significant amount should go to improving recruiting and training and a portion set aside for teams that deal with the mentally ill and other crisis situations. Too many of our police come from the military which has entirely different goals, a different training set. We're recruiting the wrong mindset for community enforcement.

Hysterical!

Sure as soon as you wake up and once again realize that, TRUMP IS STILL FREE! Lol, How’s that for a factoid! Loser leftists. Sheesh!

I just hope they keep the idiot running around with a knife inside the GOP until the election, by the time Donald is done he should give the democrats the house too! Once Donald is indicted a judge will own his ass and will muzzle or jail him until trial if he won't STFU, so indictments might take awhile. In reality Garland has Donald by the balls with no way out and could drop the hammer on him anytime he wishes. Donald is an idiot who played right into it and would have even gotten away with it, if he had returned the documents like a good boy, but Donald was far too stupid for that!

Dream, dream dream. Idiot.

Well I tried, good luck.

You too buddy good luck. Thanks for not flaming.

I like how worked up you are.

No worries here. See you in November.

Sounds like someone really made China mad?
I guess your Christian kings tariffs did have an effect after all
But that doesn’t fit your programmed response

Whose programmed? The side that stands up for trannys, illegals, and crime. The side that doesnt want parents to have a say in schools.

If we had any border control, China wouldnt be able to push their agenda through so easily.

You TDS MAGA fascists will say anything. Except the truth.

Oil production in Biden’s first year on par with Trump

U.S. gas prices hit a high on March 8, and President Joe Biden warned Americans they may pay even more at the pump after

After trying to twist 2 tenths of a percent into Trump inflation you have lost all credibility with me. Good luck just the same.

Dream, dream dream. Idiot.

As Joe said, who's side are you on? The side of the constitution, law and FBI, or the side of a fascist asshole who lost the election and tried to overthrow the government? How does it feel to be lead to disaster by a moron? Go ahead and refight 2020 with Donald bitching and whining about being a loser. Tens of millions of new women voters are registering too with abortion as their number one issue. Just remember Garland or Georgia can pull the plug on Donald before the election, he's not running for any office, even if he announces for one two years too early.
