This will just create the "What about Jacksonville" talking point for Dems. What about it, it's a fucking dump. I loathed driving through that shithole and wondered why it still existed....oh right, our military funds it.
As a Jacksonville resident(SE Georgia transplant), I implore you to visit the west side towards Baldwin and surrounding areas- not as bad as southside or Washington heights area.
Well, you know rum, sex and the lash -- many things have not changed since the beginning of civilization and the formation of armies.
Military bases tend to draw a rather disreputable lot of camp followers of all types -- something about young men with a decent amount of money on leave. Plus, Jacksonville is a port city, and that certainly never hurt a crime rate.
Significant chunks of my life have been spent in and around military bases. I'm surprised more of them don't make the list to be honest.
You drove through it? 90% of it is actually just fine. Orange park and jax beach and mandarin Ponte vedra are great. Downtown is clean. But jacksonville is massive landwise so that accounts for some of it. There is a lot of white trash areas and black neighborhoods where the crime is. I. I grew up going to jax for the music scene and it was great. Its not a shithole like you say. There are shithole areas for sure
Plus, they'll include the 'Independents'. There's a surge going on right now that Independents are different. Dunno, probably trying to split the vote. Then the push to tear down Mt. Rushmore...
** From the wiki on the "Independent" mayor of Las Vegas - "Goodman earned a bachelor's degree in anthropology from Bryn Mawr College in 1961.[3] She and Oscar Goodman moved to Las Vegas from Philadelphia in 1964.[4] She graduated from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in 1973 with a master's degree in counseling.[5]
Goodman is the founder, president and trustee emeritus of The Meadows School.[6] She and her husband moved to Las Vegas in 1964 and soon became active in the local Jewish federation.[7] Eventually, she became the leader of the local Jewish federation's women's division, a position she held for several years.[7] She received the 2009 Commitment to Education award from the United Way of Southern Nevada.[8]"
Not sure about the Jacksonville Mayor, or what his politics really are.
They are trying to split the vote in contested elections with a Democrat stalking horse running as an "Independent".
But, it should be noted, many progressive groups are trying to get Democrats to re-label as Independents and run in elections in which the Republican canidate is uncontested.
Their reasoning is that "Independent" might be enough to fool voters, knowing that the area is red and will not vote for a Democrat, even if the Republican ticket isn't the best.
Trump is 100% correct if you count violence per capita. It's only when you count total crime that you can manage to squeeze one Republican in there.
The only number that matters is the per capita measurement because it's the only one you can use to calculate the odds that you may personally be a victim of that violence. WP is full of shit and Trump is right again.
They will include this in their talking point that Trump is a liar. I hear Dems constantly throwing out the number of lies the President has told. I think I heard Richard Goodstein say "The President has told 66k lies" or some astronomical number like that. It's laughable at this point.
Wapo knows they're full of shit, but their democrat readers are absolutely stupid enough to buy this.
They also know 85% of articles are never read, only the headline.
They could have put TRUMP TO DEPORT ILLEGALS INTO SPACE USING SPACEX ROCKET and people would be like "I knew that fucker would blast nonwhites into space! We needs to RIOT!"
Many of their readers are what I would call a kind of "intellectual nazi"... They will definitely see this as evidence that the President is "wrong" and "lying".
Stupid democrats are the worst because they will go to great lengths to convince themselves they’re smart and continue arguing even when shown stuff like this.
I'm always torn between thinking that these leftist idiots know what they're doing, i.e. malicious intent, and the fact that they might just be in a such a ignorant fucking bubble that they think the rest of the world has the same opinion as these upper class, college educated (see brainwashed) SJW kids.
It's basically a coin toss. Either they're evil, or just insanely fucking ignorant.
Just ask them about school coming up and COVID. everyone of those idiots say shut it down, they say "MY KIDs did fine with distance learning." Meanwhile lower income kids were the worst when it came to handing in assignments, being on Google meets or just plain participating. Not to mention most dont have a 2 parent house hold to be home for the kids in the first place.
They are totally living in a fantasy land. I work with schools everyday, my Wife is a teacher as well. This is FACT but they just "lalalalalalalala" when you try and talk sense into them.
Not sure if you've seen the school teacher's Reddit post about his year teaching in an inner city school, but it's worth a read. Let me know if you can't find it, is been posted here and I saved it
Only willful ignorance. Otherwise you're judged based on how you respond to conscience and available evidence. Unfortunately, by those standards, I'd say that still leaves a lot of these people in a very dark place. They've been trained to ignore evidence and allow others to dictate their moral compasses for them. Not gonna fly.
Yup, in a city run by Democrats for consecutive decades, located within a state run by Democrats for consecutive decades, the answer is more Democrats in power to fight this "institutional racism."
Considering they were who we fought to end racism, and they consider it’s okay to be white hate speech, I’m not sure why they’d do anything that isn’t racist at this point. It’s all they’ve ever done.
AS being from MN I have seen this play out. The dems just give money away, we have folks from WI and Chicago bus here to collect Welfare. Minneapolis is a shithole because of all the enabling they have been doing over the last 70 plus years. Yes 70 fucking years, that is how long it has been since a Republican was mayor in Minneapolis. Yep somehow we are to blame for this mess???
It seems as though 'correcting' them, to address the obvious flaw in their lie, is missing the point.
The point is that they're fvcking liars, and every fvcking thing they say is a lie, produced and assembled like a product, with malice aforethought, to harm the Republic in which they reside as a cancer to destroy it.
(some lefty headline) / 'durr, here fellows is their technical error' 🤓🤓
(some lefty headline) / 'oh look, the shtheads who LIE Every Fvcking Time are Lying again, .. imagine my surprise' 🙄🙄
It's not about a technical flaw in their logic.
It wasn't 'an error', .. it was a LIE.
Because it's not about Facts, it's about Character.
And theirs is that THEY'RE LIARS.
Call Them On It. Make it Stick. Debase. Depower. Dehumanize. They don't deserve to be treated as people. They don't deserve their facade of integrity. They use it as a weapon to assault society, to maim its body, to kill its soul.
Saying that democrat run cities have the highest crime rates (a fact) due to “institutionalized racism”(not real) is like a child blaming an imaginary friend when asked why their room is messy.
he didn't even make an error, to include the 20 most dangerous cities and not the 10 most dangerous cities is an arbitrary choice, those idiots could choose any number of most dangerous cities to present so they would get a graph that also includes republican ran cities to make thier point, its fucking nonsensical.
Exactly. The Washington Post has just now reported that 19 of the 20 most dangerous cities are run by Dems- something they wouldn't have reported if he hadn't been off by 1.
Used to do it all the time on leddit. Put out a fact and skew the number by a teenie tiny bit and some moron will jump in and say, “UHHH ACKSHUALLY, the media didn’t say Hillary had a 99% chance of winning, they said she had a 91% chance! Get owned racist!” At that point 91% is just as high as 99%
He's not looking to the leftists; they're gone by this point. He's looking for those fence-sitters and undecideds who have enough of a brain to read the article.
Sure, we even get some on here who we have gently tugged down from the fence. I have been on TD since the Orlando shooting in 2016. Every few weeks we get posts from people saying that they are done with the Democrats. I think if we keep chugging along like we have been doing, more people will convert.
It is better to get followers through logic and reason than by manipulation and fear.
Dude, I was literally a lifelong democrat voter. Came to TD around Kavanaugh. Never voting Dem again. I literally moved to Portland now I'm scrambling to get out. Wasn't very political before, so never really examined those beliefs
Dude, it's still the top post of TD. At least 5 or 6 independent podcasts I listen reference this site not to mention twitter. You sound like a fucking shill
Absolutely. Both parties are fundamentally flawed and largely subjective to the point of zealotry, forcing issues to be black and white when there's a lot more to look at. While a Republican respects peoples' right to say whatever, many will still shut down or ignore what is being said outright if it conflicts with their tribe's view on the topic. Democrats take this one step further and refuse to allow people to have views that differ from the party.
For example, I think Republicans should be much more focused on fixing our education system at a federal level. There's college professors that are outright telling students they'll fail if they're found to hold conservative views (Cal State San Marcos, less than 5 years ago). High Schools have largely dropped US History or are glossing over/skipping any education related to the Constitution, with 36 states not requiring US history to graduate at this time. Many states have ceased to require meeting credit requirements to hand out a high school diploma. There's an elementary school in Florida that fires teachers if they ever give students less than a 50% score on anything, including work that was never turned in.
This is creating generation upon generation of person that isn't just completely unprepared for life, they have no motivation to do anything and expect to be handed success or at least "average" success while doing nothing. The democrats have crafted these generations in this way because this mindset is very susceptible to gibs, and gibs secure votes. Unfortunately, the establishment left failed to realize they created socialists/communists who have no understanding of how much socialism is too much, and now these uninformed drones are old enough to get into positions in politics and they know how to speak to their fellow drones better than their handlers.
We need schools to train kids for a life assuming they'd never go to school again after that year. Teach them the most important things for self-sufficiency, and branch into more complex topics (such as handling tax, recognizing fraud, and so forth) as they grow older. Unfortunately, Republicans seem to love jerking off to letters that waggle fingers at internet platforms that are clearly oppressing their party. Biden hides in a basement and does nothing, but so do most of our Republican lawmakers, for all the good they've done.
Regardless, I've distracted myself. The current climate causes left-leaning moderates to be heavily dissuaded from voting democrat, and right-leaning moderates are heavily motivated to vote for republicans.
We need schools to train kids for a life assuming they'd never go to school again after that year. Teach them the most important things for self-sufficiency, and branch into more complex topics (such as handling tax, recognizing fraud, and so forth) as they grow older.
We need to teach our kids this stuff. At an early age. I started with my 14 yo when she was in elementary. She is based as hell, I just started with my 10 yo 2 years ago, she is also based. They see through the bullcrap, they call out my Lefty Mom and Dad all the time, its actually pretty funny. Teach your kids, don't let someone else do that, for what you deem important.
I despise every political party in America. I find them all incompetent, corrupt, and weak with fat...their good leaders and statesmen are either non-existent or few and far between.
I really am an Independent, but I don't sit on the fence when it comes to threats to my rights and well being.
Trump is just a man and has his flaws and fumblings, but thus far he's been pretty good, certainly head and shoulders above any of the rest when it comes to my rights and well-being.
The little graph doesn't help them.
People read headlines...and little charts and graphs. Sometimes they just look at the charts and graphs as we are a very visually stimulated species.
As Pocket Posse very astutely pointed out: that chart is very blue.
The corporate mass media is completely evil, there is simply no way this faggot puts his charts and paragraphs together not knowing how ludicrous this is. They are evil, they are children of the lie.
The trick is to link to some text that's vertically in the middle of whatever part you want to share. I don't know yet if it has to be a unique string of word(s) but it wouldn't hurt. I linked to "unparalleled" because it's only 1 unique word that's nowhere else in the article and doesn't bloat the share URL more than needed. This is a GREAT idea!
Spez: An even better idea when on reddit or anywhere where you can mask links with custom text is to link to the text fragmented archive link and use the original article's share URL as the custom text so that it looks like the non-archived version, increasing normie trust. Try clicking the link below!
I heard somewhere this is basically how Trump makes them report whatever he wants.
If he just said something true, nobody would ever hear about it.
So he exaggerates it so he looks better than the reality, and they all come flocking to him to prove that he lied to tear him down, and it just shows that the substance of what he said was basically true and they discredited themselves at the same time.
This is spot on. They would never have reported on it otherwise, so trump says 20 instead of 19, and gets them to spread his message. The man has been playing the tabloids for 50 years. He knows exactly how it works and is going up against millennials with a degree in gender studies. it's Mike Tyson kicking toddlers at this point.
This is even more retarded than it appears. Springfield, MO has a "non-partisan" setup for their Mayoral position and the elections. This isn't that uncommon for "weak mayor" style city council setups.
It would be like saying Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler isn't a Democrat b/c technically he isn't in office as a Democrat despite previously being the Treasurer and a State Rep. as a Democrat and you know, being a fucking Democrat.
I saw that MSN was pushing that story. (No need to read; the lie was pretty obvious: open the frame wide enough to include a non-Democrat - i.e., take top 20, not top 10 because top 10 are all Democrats.)
The tactics of the liberal media are just stale now.
Plus, are these "Independent" mayors similar to how Bernie Sanders is an "Independent"?
"I love going out to the country. It’s like a trip to the zoo. There are literal farm animals, terrible restaurants, homogenous trapped in time rust colored stuff everywhere, and the people living in those places are just the dumbest people with the least to offer other than folksy hatred of others. It’s hilarious. You can even ask them questions and they try their best to make sense of things they can’t understand"
These larpers are just hilarious, they're literally living in a fantasy world they made up in their own heads.
They mindlessly repeat what their employer trained them to do as part of the value-creating system he built and then they think all of his profits should belong to them.
Both independents are democrats. The one in Vegas got pissed at Obama for slandering Vegas and became independents. The one in San Antonio is a progressive, but party affiliation isn’t allowed on the ballot in San Antonio.
Wish I knew how to investigate things like this. I recently tried to research the fact that this shit is definitely the left's fault, and started looking at the mayors and governors over the cities with highest number of police killing people. But I found an even mixture of red and blue.
Funny enough, when I started looking at highest number of police killing black people, it was like Chicago and other notoriously blue cities most responsible for killing black people and Republican-controlled PD's most responsible for killing white people.
But that was like 10 minute cursory looking-over of a few cities on wikipedia, so who the fuck knows.
It's like that doughy turdblossom "fact checker" CNN trots out once in a while, "The President claimed he sent 30,000 ventilators to New York, in actuality only 29,945 were recorded in NYPHS inventory." Couple days later GEOTUS remarks some seemed to fly out the back door and CNN spends 2 or 3 hours saying there's no evidence of that.
This is phenomenal. Only the most idiotic or blue-pilled will see this hilariously weak argument as solid reasoning. Most DO NOT LISTEN TO TRUMP, and may have no idea he said this, or that this many major cities are Blue. Perhaps they've heard the claim, but just assume Donnie lied. Here's THEIR OWN FRIENDLY SOURCE OF INFO telling them he's pretty damn spot-on!
By fact checking and showing the world that the vast majority of the crime-ridden shit holes are run by Dimocrats they walked right into Trump's trap. Damn they're dumb. They make it so easy for him and they don't even realize it.
I find it ironic that "off-by-one" is a common programming error.
I find it hilarious that Trump once again is a laser pointer for the media cats, telling a 99% true fact and having the media fact-check him and actually talking about it.
I find it sad that libs will read the headline only.
It's funny everyone that I talk to that are like this author and worry about that are people that are impossible to talk to anyways. Whenever I talk to a decent person who understands what listening is always gets red pilled by stats like this.
A simple example is at some stores I told them masks make me light-headed and can make you sick. The people that don't care about your health when you tell them this you can see them visibly shaking. Decent people actually try to start a conversation about it.
The press reminds me of the insufferable know it all weirdo that I had in every grade school class. Telling on people and reminding the teacher about homework. Some of them got a smack in the mouth and calmed down.
So most violent over all and most violent let capita are with one exception democrat. Thanks for letting me to excercise my bullshit detector Washington Post you cia financed piece of shit rag! Seriously, in order for me to be a Democrat, you'd have to up unscrew my head and literally take my brain out.
Not stupid. Evil
buy what? the proof that he's basically correct? lol, I feel like they work for Trump sometimes.
If you resort to the worst of technicalities, Trump was only 95% right. That Means That He Was 5% Wrong!!! dRuMPf = lIAr rEEeeEEeEeE!!!
This will just create the "What about Jacksonville" talking point for Dems. What about it, it's a fucking dump. I loathed driving through that shithole and wondered why it still existed....oh right, our military funds it.
Otherwise no one would choose to live there.
Democrats still have mayors in the top 10 most crime ridden cities. They move goalposts, we move goalposts.
I'm there about once a month, I swoop in early and out before the hood rats wake up.
As a Jacksonville resident(SE Georgia transplant), I implore you to visit the west side towards Baldwin and surrounding areas- not as bad as southside or Washington heights area.
Well, you know rum, sex and the lash -- many things have not changed since the beginning of civilization and the formation of armies.

Even if WP is correct - look at how they reinforce Trump's point. Blue almost as far as the eye can see.
Yeah, but all these people need is the headline for to stroke their egos.

Cunning, calculating, highly intelligent evil people absolutely exist.

"We therefore rate this Pants on Fire and add it to our list of Trump's 18000 other lies that we made up."
They want to be REALLY precise with these numbers but not with those inflated COVID deaths.
They also don’t like to be precise when mentioning the race of who commits all this violent crime
4d chess lol. he got them to talk about it and everyone can see the data. also theyre stupid.
Yep. He may have included a few on purpose just to get them to talk about it. They fall for it every time!
Yup like cuckwork.

Either Im colorblind, or that chart is very blue.
you`re just racist, that's all!
Guys - you're missing the point
Nobody is expected to read the content - reading the content demonstrates that it's complete bullshit, as we can see here.
The entire point of this is to be shared as headlines on social media and twitter - leftists aren't going to read these articles
He's not looking to the leftists; they're gone by this point. He's looking for those fence-sitters and undecideds who have enough of a brain to read the article.
Real talk: do fence sitters still exist in such a ridiculously politicized environment nowadays?
Sure, we even get some on here who we have gently tugged down from the fence. I have been on TD since the Orlando shooting in 2016. Every few weeks we get posts from people saying that they are done with the Democrats. I think if we keep chugging along like we have been doing, more people will convert.
It is better to get followers through logic and reason than by manipulation and fear.
You can tell how scared they are of losing the election by what's happened this year alone.
Covid released by China (with deep state help) to destroy economy + Trump rallies + push vote by mail (for fraud)
Race wars started. I guarantee that knee on George Floyd was a false flag. George Soros funded riots. BLM donations go to DNC.
Bubba noose hoax
Trumps former staff deep state stooges speaking out against him.
Like Biden, I'm probably forgetting other things.

Regardless, I've distracted myself. The current climate causes left-leaning moderates to be heavily dissuaded from voting democrat, and right-leaning moderates are heavily motivated to vote for republicans.
We need to teach our kids this stuff. At an early age. I started with my 14 yo when she was in elementary. She is based as hell, I just started with my 10 yo 2 years ago, she is also based. They see through the bullcrap, they call out my Lefty Mom and Dad all the time, its actually pretty funny. Teach your kids, don't let someone else do that, for what you deem important.
I despise every political party in America. I find them all incompetent, corrupt, and weak with fat...their good leaders and statesmen are either non-existent or few and far between. I really am an Independent, but I don't sit on the fence when it comes to threats to my rights and well being. Trump is just a man and has his flaws and fumblings, but thus far he's been pretty good, certainly head and shoulders above any of the rest when it comes to my rights and well-being.
There were about 100 million American adults who didn't vote in the 2016 election
Wall sitters*
The little graph doesn't help them. People read headlines...and little charts and graphs. Sometimes they just look at the charts and graphs as we are a very visually stimulated species. As Pocket Posse very astutely pointed out: that chart is very blue.
Media self-owns yet again.
Thanks for making his point...
The corporate mass media is completely evil, there is simply no way this faggot puts his charts and paragraphs together not knowing how ludicrous this is. They are evil, they are children of the lie.
Let's call them Satanists or Moloch worshippers, for good measure
Maybe made by a secret Trump supporter.
Lol this kind of fact check proves the point further when the vast majority of the chart is still blue.
Did Trump say the "top 20?" Because the top 10 is all blue.
He did say top 20 at a press briefing/public talk.

The funny part is Washington Post proved his message further minus 1 Republican city and 2 independent.
I sincerely hope you’re some kind of battle rapper with a username like that.
Is WaPo really this dumb?
No, they know exactly what they are doing. They know leftists only read headlines to get their talking points.
We need to start using link to text fragment on articles like these.
https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/06/google-pushes-text-fragment-links-with-new-chrome-extension/
This is what the article looks like using Archive.is and a text fragment link --
https://archive.is/wOWJw#slug_flex_ss_bb_hp_4:~:text=unparalleled
The trick is to link to some text that's vertically in the middle of whatever part you want to share. I don't know yet if it has to be a unique string of word(s) but it wouldn't hurt. I linked to "unparalleled" because it's only 1 unique word that's nowhere else in the article and doesn't bloat the share URL more than needed. This is a GREAT idea!
Spez: An even better idea when on reddit or anywhere where you can mask links with custom text is to link to the text fragmented archive link and use the original article's share URL as the custom text so that it looks like the non-archived version, increasing normie trust. Try clicking the link below!

they have the absolutely smoothest brains on planet Earth
So 95% are run by Democrats. Oh wow, got ‘em 🙄
Trump said it was nice weather outside, but it was really just okay weather. HE CAN'T STOP LYING!!!
I heard somewhere this is basically how Trump makes them report whatever he wants.
If he just said something true, nobody would ever hear about it.
So he exaggerates it so he looks better than the reality, and they all come flocking to him to prove that he lied to tear him down, and it just shows that the substance of what he said was basically true and they discredited themselves at the same time.
This is spot on. They would never have reported on it otherwise, so trump says 20 instead of 19, and gets them to spread his message. The man has been playing the tabloids for 50 years. He knows exactly how it works and is going up against millennials with a degree in gender studies. it's Mike Tyson kicking toddlers at this point.
This is even more retarded than it appears. Springfield, MO has a "non-partisan" setup for their Mayoral position and the elections. This isn't that uncommon for "weak mayor" style city council setups.
It would be like saying Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler isn't a Democrat b/c technically he isn't in office as a Democrat despite previously being the Treasurer and a State Rep. as a Democrat and you know, being a fucking Democrat.
It's a complete technicality.
This is the insane media now, ‘journalists’ are insane activists and they print insane propaganda
I saw that MSN was pushing that story. (No need to read; the lie was pretty obvious: open the frame wide enough to include a non-Democrat - i.e., take top 20, not top 10 because top 10 are all Democrats.)
The tactics of the liberal media are just stale now.
Plus, are these "Independent" mayors similar to how Bernie Sanders is an "Independent"?
So Trump was only 95% correct...
Wapo got us this time, drumpth is finished. gonna have to vote biden now /s
Also I looked up the Mayor of Las Vegas is Carolyn Goodman who was a Democrat till 2009.

Mean while politics sub is sucking up to this headline:
https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/hfsufu/trump_keeps_claiming_that_the_most_dangerous/
I loved this one, from reddit user Burgher_NY:
"I love going out to the country. It’s like a trip to the zoo. There are literal farm animals, terrible restaurants, homogenous trapped in time rust colored stuff everywhere, and the people living in those places are just the dumbest people with the least to offer other than folksy hatred of others. It’s hilarious. You can even ask them questions and they try their best to make sense of things they can’t understand"
These larpers are just hilarious, they're literally living in a fantasy world they made up in their own heads.
Fukn priceless.
Wow it is hilarious but also downright scary.
wow. Yet they are the tolerant ones? Left them have their crime infested cities.
They mindlessly repeat what their employer trained them to do as part of the value-creating system he built and then they think all of his profits should belong to them.
Also that one is “independent” which very well may mean Democrat in reality, like Sanders.
Both independents are democrats. The one in Vegas got pissed at Obama for slandering Vegas and became independents. The one in San Antonio is a progressive, but party affiliation isn’t allowed on the ballot in San Antonio.
⛰️🤡🌎
Also looking at the mayor alone isn't enough. Most likely the cities are full of democrats.
Wish I knew how to investigate things like this. I recently tried to research the fact that this shit is definitely the left's fault, and started looking at the mayors and governors over the cities with highest number of police killing people. But I found an even mixture of red and blue.
Funny enough, when I started looking at highest number of police killing black people, it was like Chicago and other notoriously blue cities most responsible for killing black people and Republican-controlled PD's most responsible for killing white people.
But that was like 10 minute cursory looking-over of a few cities on wikipedia, so who the fuck knows.
It's like that doughy turdblossom "fact checker" CNN trots out once in a while, "The President claimed he sent 30,000 ventilators to New York, in actuality only 29,945 were recorded in NYPHS inventory." Couple days later GEOTUS remarks some seemed to fly out the back door and CNN spends 2 or 3 hours saying there's no evidence of that.
Wow. Trump knows he can play those fools like a fiddle anytime he wants.
And so he does.
Jacksonville Florida was full democrat from 1888 until 1991.
I feel bad for the Republicans who are cleaning up over a hundred years of democrap.
This is phenomenal. Only the most idiotic or blue-pilled will see this hilariously weak argument as solid reasoning. Most DO NOT LISTEN TO TRUMP, and may have no idea he said this, or that this many major cities are Blue. Perhaps they've heard the claim, but just assume Donnie lied. Here's THEIR OWN FRIENDLY SOURCE OF INFO telling them he's pretty damn spot-on!
Beautiful.
By fact checking and showing the world that the vast majority of the crime-ridden shit holes are run by Dimocrats they walked right into Trump's trap. Damn they're dumb. They make it so easy for him and they don't even realize it.
I ended up reading the entire article from here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/06/25/trump-keeps-claiming-that-most-dangerous-cities-america-are-all-run-by-democrats-they-arent/
Reading through it reaffirms that the headline is misleading. The article mentions that almost all cities are run by democrats.
God, so embarrassing that they even printed this. It just makes them look pathetic and sad.
LOL They never learn.
The toolbag author looks exactly how you'd imagine a toolbag cuck would look like.

120 million dead from covid.
hey in MN our UofM model said 65K by Aug! hmmm we're only 63,500 off!
That’s a funny way of saying democrats are worse then republicans at public safety by a 20 to 1 ratio
I find it ironic that "off-by-one" is a common programming error.
I find it hilarious that Trump once again is a laser pointer for the media cats, telling a 99% true fact and having the media fact-check him and actually talking about it.
I find it sad that libs will read the headline only.
The headline is all that matters. Nobody reads.
I’ll bet those “independents” are super liberals.
lmao mental lightweights
It's funny everyone that I talk to that are like this author and worry about that are people that are impossible to talk to anyways. Whenever I talk to a decent person who understands what listening is always gets red pilled by stats like this.
A simple example is at some stores I told them masks make me light-headed and can make you sick. The people that don't care about your health when you tell them this you can see them visibly shaking. Decent people actually try to start a conversation about it.
So an "Independent" just like the "Independent" Senator from Vermont Bernie Sanders?
THEY TOOK THE BAIT
WTF Chattanooga, what happened?
Take that, Drumpf! What an incredible self-own.
Lol and that one exception is not even a republican :D
If american people are so stupid they are buying this ...
The press reminds me of the insufferable know it all weirdo that I had in every grade school class. Telling on people and reminding the teacher about homework. Some of them got a smack in the mouth and calmed down.
So most violent over all and most violent let capita are with one exception democrat. Thanks for letting me to excercise my bullshit detector Washington Post you cia financed piece of shit rag! Seriously, in order for me to be a Democrat, you'd have to up unscrew my head and literally take my brain out.
