Seattle
Armed police don’t stop drive by shootings.
I'm sure you have a "studies show" BS card stashed away somewhere.
I want my POlice to have a semi-auto with an butt load of extra ammo. I also want them to have access to a auto "assault" weapon just in case...
You and your bobby cops carry on with the sticks and limited restrictions on how to subdue criminals.
Your white perspective on militarized policing is noted, but you are fast becoming a relic. And giving up your seat at the table.
Funny. You really think your socialist/globalism has a seat at the table. You don't. People see you in Seattle, Minneapolis, and other blue states and cities.
My perspective is not white, it is American.
Not sure what globalism has to do with policing. You realize throwing around the words “globalism” and “socialism” just makes you look like a weirdo when we aren’t talking about economics. You are getting closer and closer to sounding like Ray.
Those descriptions are who you are. You can't deny it by claiming weirdo when confronted with who you are.
I am way more of a capitalist than the average American, so suggesting that I am a socialist is silly.
If “globalist” means in favor of “globalization” then I am that, but that is because I am a capitalist.
Capitalism benefits from globalization, not socialism. Our efforts to reduce globalization will reduce capital efficiency, and the goal of doing this is to ultimately to increase the leverage of domestic LABOR vis-a-vis those with capital.
Promoting the idea of labor over capital is particularly odd as we move to a society that is replacing labor with automation, an area that the US has historically enjoyed competitive advantage.
The Washington Post.. attempted a gotcha against Trump that said all of the most dangerous cities in US were run by democrats.. They failed miserably.. lol..
A republican mayor was elected to Jacksonville in the last election; therefore the Washington Post has declared that President Trump’s claim: “the most dangerous cities are run by democrats”, is false. There is a top-crime city now run by a republican.
This level of FAIL is so ridiculous, it presents itself almost as if the Washington Post intentionally trying to beclown themselves.
There are hardly any large cities that have Republican mayors.
Wow! I could have posted that...
except, I understand the difference between true economic globalism and the kind of globalism your buds in the "new world order" are advocating. I have posted before about my travels to Russia and to China, and to South America, Mexico, and a few countries in Europe, and none of those, unfortunately, were merely vacation trips, even though we took advantage of some opportunities to do some sight-seeing. The purpose was to establish some partnerships. And I am a certified NASBITE Global Business Consultant and have advised American small businesses in opening overseas markets, supply-chains, etc... Point is, I understand the real value of international business.
Next, when others around the world refuse to "play fair" then yes, we should defend our economic interests. Also, in our national security interests we have to domestic manufacturing capacity in some key industries. Certainly recent events show how important that is in big pharma.
Labor is one of the components of "capitalism," as I'm sure you know. It's about finding a balance between all the elements, labor, capital (money), resources, and adjusting as needed. You, and some others, have been critical of President Trump trying to bring manufacturing capacity back home saying it violates the "purity" of raw capitalism, and how could any true "conservative" agree with it. I think as POTUS he is doing his duty looking at the bigger picture of what is good for ALL Americans, not just those who own stocks in big corporations and the captains of industry looking for cheap overseas labor to improve their bottom line. I don't have to agree with every detail of his plan(s) to see the merit in it, and to understand what he is trying to do.
The "free" market is truly a wondrous thing and nothing exists in a vacuum in it. It's like the ole Rubic's Cube, every move has benefits to solving it and ramifications too, making the puzzle more difficult to solve. For instance, I know if Trump is successful in getting manufacturing back in some previously lost industries, like steel, then it will open all kinds of new investment opportunities. Talk about a true CONSERVATIVE's dream come true! Wow! Big money, baby! Not to mention what it will do for literally hundreds of Americans and their combined families, who, BTW, gaining access to some good income will be disposing of some of it buying real estate, cars...and becoming the source of new consumers for those businesses that provide such goods and services. A previously defunct factory town could be reborn and look out! here comes a brand new Walmart, and the combo of a new Walgreens and CVS! I could go on, but I think you see the point. So, please, spare me the "I am more of a capitalist than you because I want to see American towns turn to dust as corporations invest in slave labor in China, India, and elsewhere, baby!"
San Diego
Miami
Ft Worth
OKC
Fresno
Omaha
Colorado Springs
Etc.
I think all of these are larger than ones listed second part of chart
Exactly, for cities with a population of over 500,000, Democrats mayors outnumber Republican mayors 27 to 6.
