It's OUR fault. We voted for these idiots for 7 decades. Anyone who thinks government is the solution is the problem.

Did I say that?

No. Republicans claim to be against big government. But their actions are for government they like VS what we have.

I am a small government conservative. I don't want welfare for people who screw up in the bedroom or the boardroom.

That attack happened 2 years ago. Not that it changes the situation or makes it any less horrific...

When criminals know they won’t be held accountable or be punished they’ll keep being criminals.

We did that from the 1930's to the mid 1960's . Crimes rates, especially homicide, shrunk. Then we stopped making people personally responsible for their actions with programs like " The Great society " and crime rates surged.

Then along came the welfare reform acts and the 3 Strikes laws and crime shrank. Then we started the nonsense all over again with Obama and now we are starting to seethe results with more violence and more crimes.

And the money keeps flowing.

In the case of Obama’s sons, I doubt if they’re capable of this kind of introspection or reasoning. Their actions are purely based on a lack of impulse control combined with a genetic predisposition towards violence and possessing a low intellect. They’ll continue to be criminals as sure as the sun will rise in the morning, consequences be damned.

Yehp!


The violent crime is also due to drug use. So called "leadership" is supposed to be prosecuting those utilizing drugs and committing crimes. Which they are not doing.

In fact, the "leadership" in WA state has choosen to defund LE while literally providing the tools and space for addicts to continue drug use.

Many rural areas as well as eastern WA ie Spokane have been decimated by these policies which are now undergoing historically high violent crime statistics.

As of the last week or so, Spokane city council has now changed course and will start prosecuting drug use in public.

WA state is a chithole. The bad FAR outweighs the good.

I don't have a twitter account and I can see it just fine. Can you actually see the post in my OP, or did you have to quote my post to get a link? If that's the case, it's your adblocker combo that is giving you trouble.

Republicans can’t fix chit. Half of them are liberal rino’s. And the Democrats own DC.

The problems we are witnessing are the direct result of democrat / liberal policies.

It’s been festering for years. Decades. Began in the 1960’s.
The 1st large blow to society was removing God from public schools. That was the beginning of the removal of judgement and ushered in political correctness and the participation trophy world.

Roe was the next win for anarchy. This was the step towards removing the value of life. Most young people today don’t have any value of life. Because they worship government not God.

If you have millions of citizens who don’t value life and face no judgment, you have the chaos we now see.

I’m afraid that it will only get worse.

Buckle Up!

Those are actually closely associated with each other. Numerous studies have proven that.
