President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

That is also possible. Either way, it sure seems like there were other Republicans who wanted to vote against her, but lacked the intestinal fortitude to do so.

 

Whoever cast that last vote was going to catch Trump's vindictive enmity forever, and be on the other end of a Trump tweetstorm, and they knew it. Compared to that, pushing the Dept. of Ed off a bridge was an easy choice.

 

Which way is the trend going.

And, the thing with murders is this: most neighborhoods have almost no murders. They are very concentrated. So a small uptick in national numbers means a big uptick in crime/drug/gang infested neighborhoods.

But, those are African-American neighborhoods, so who gives a fuck. Let's just cite national numbers and pretend everything is fine.

It's trending downward. One datapoint does not make a trend.

 

Where'd 2016 come in?

 

That number isn't available yet from the FBI.

 

Hint: it's going to be higher.

 

Of course, this latest tangent is just YF's lame attempt to draw attention away from the fact that Trump gave false information. Perhaps it was a lie. Perhaps it was ignorance. But either way, he was wrong.

 

Dear Leader cannot be impugned.

 

@Neutral Corner, where'd your post go?

Anyway, as I was saying:

The 30 largest U.S. cities saw a double-digit increase in their murder rate in 2016, according to a new year-end report, even as crime nationwide remains near all-time lows.

A new study released Tuesday by New York University’s Brennan Center for Justice projects that the 2016 murder rate for the largest U.S. cities is up 14% from 2015 while the violent crime rate rose by 3.3%. The overall crime rate, however, increased by just 0.3%, thanks in large part to historically low levels of property crime, according to the study's authors.
