Ban guns they said

To me this really makes one thing clear: America doesn't have a gun problem, they have a violence problem. To anyone paying attention this is pretty obvious I guess, America has been rotting from the inside for decades.

Banning guns would surely lead to less deaths. Instead you'll end up with headlines like "40 killed in Chicago stabbings this weekend". Ok, ban knives. "36 killed in Chicago acid attacks, hit and runs and bludgeonings this weekend"... Ah fuck it, ban everything. God forbid we actually deal with the cause of the problems and try to find real solutions. Let's just slap a big old band-aid on that severed jugular....

Tout ça commence avec leur système de filet social qui est absent.

Ça remonte je dirais même au minimum à la ségrégation.

You know Democrats have been advocating for prison reform years before Trump showed up? Look up Ban the Box bills in states all across the country.

Dems talk the talk, Trump walks the walk. Amazing that a racist idiot has done more for minorities and the country as a whole in just over a year than Obama did in 8.

Trade with China for one thing. Dems always talk about how China manipulates their currency, then backs off from declaring them doing so. Trump comes in and throw up tariffs.

Yeah, the US farmers and the auto industry are really loving those tariffs.

and what measure exactly are you referring to?

The ones that lead to results like these:

-Secured $6 billion in NEW funding to fight the opioid epidemic.
-We have reduced high-dose opioid prescriptions by 16 percent during my first year in office.
-We reformed the Medicare program to stop hospitals from overcharging low-income seniors on their drugs—saving seniors hundreds of millions of dollars this year alone.
-Last month, the FDA approved more affordable generic drugs than ever before in history. And thanks to our efforts, many drug companies are freezing or reversing planned price increases.
-Record number of regulations eliminated.
-Enacted regulatory relief for community banks and credit unions.
-Obamacare individual mandate penalty GONE.
-As a result of our tax bill, small businesses will have the lowest top marginal tax rate in more than 80 years.
-Signed the biggest package of tax cuts and reforms in history. After tax cuts, over $300 billion poured back in to the U.S. in the first quarter alone.
-95 percent of U.S. manufacturers are optimistic about the future—the highest ever.
-Almost 4 million jobs created since election.
-More Americans are now employed than ever recorded before in our history.
-We have created more than 400,000 manufacturing jobs since my election.
-Manufacturing jobs growing at the fastest rate in more than THREE DECADES.
-Economic growth last quarter hit 4.2 percent.
-New unemployment claims recently hit a 49-year low.
-Median household income has hit highest level ever recorded.
-African-American unemployment has recently achieved the lowest rate ever recorded.
-Hispanic-American unemployment is at the lowest rate ever recorded.
-Asian-American unemployment recently achieved the lowest rate ever recorded.
-Women’s unemployment recently reached the lowest rate in 65 years.
-Youth unemployment has recently hit the lowest rate in nearly half a century.
-Lowest unemployment rate ever recorded for Americans without a high school diploma.
-Under my Administration, veterans’ unemployment recently reached its lowest rate in nearly 20 years.
-Almost 3.9 million Americans have been lifted off food stamps since the election.
-The Pledge to America’s Workers has resulted in employers committing to train more than 4 million Americans. We are committed to VOCATIONAL education.
 
China is more dependent on the US than the US is on China. The US is China's #1 customer, and China cannot simply go to other markets to fulfill the gap left by the US not buying their products. The US on the other hand has plenty of options when it comes to imports. America has the upper hand here.
 
A cactus would have had the same results. Most of those numbers are the result of inheriting a strong economy.

BTW, the tax cuts had negligible effects on the economy aside from inflating the deficit.

I'm curious are you going to give Trudeau the same praise for similar accomplishments?
 
I'll give Trudeau credit for doing everything in his power to stop Canada from reaching its potential, that's about it.
 
America Doesn't Have A Rampant Gun Violence Epidemic
Democrat Cities Under Liberal Policies Do


GUN VIOLENCE IS NOT A REPUBLICAN PROBLEM, IT’S A DEMOCRATIC PROBLEM

Forget Wal-Mart and skip your local gun show. The murderers of tomorrow will not be found wearing orange vests at your local sporting goods store. They won't have NRA memberships or trophies on their walls.

You won't find them in America. Look for them in Obamerica.

67% of firearm murders took place in the country's 50 largest metro areas. The 62 cities in those metro areas have a firearm murder rate of 9.7, more than twice the national average. Among teenagers the firearm murder rate is 14.6 or almost three times the national average.

Those are the crowded cities of Obamerica. Those are the places with the most restrictive gun control laws and the highest crime rates. And many of them have been run by Democrats and their political machines for almost as long as they have been broken.

Obama won every major city in the election, except for Jacksonville and Salt Lake City. And the higher the death rate, the bigger his victory.

He won New Orleans by 80 to 17 where the murder rate is ten times higher than the national average. He won Detroit, where the murder rate of 53 per 100,000 people is the second highest in the country and twice as high as any country in the world, including the Congo and South Africa. He won it 73 to 26. And then he celebrated his victory in Chicago where the murder rate is three times the statewide average.

These places aren't America. They're Obamerica.

In 2006, the 54% of the population living in those 50 metro areas was responsible for 67% of armed killings nationwide. Those are disproportionate numbers especially when you consider that for the people living in most of those cities walking into a store and legally buying a gun is all but impossible.


Mayors of Obamerican cities blame guns because it's easier than blaming people and now the President of Obamerica has turned to the same shameless tactic. The NRA counters that people kill people, but that's exactly why Obamerican leaders would rather talk about the guns.

Chicago, the capital of Obamerica, is a city run by gangs and politicians. It has 68,000 gang members, four times the number of police officers. Chicago politicians solicit the support of gang members in their campaigns, accepting laundered contributions from them, hiring their members and tipping them off about upcoming police raids. And their biggest favor to the gang bosses is doing nothing about the epidemic of gang violence.

80% of Chicago's murders are gang-related. But in 1999 when a bill came up in the Illinois State Senate to charge anyone carrying out a firearm attack on school property as an adult, a law that would have largely affected gang members, the future leader of Obamerica voted present. Had he not voted present, it is doubtful that he would have been reelected in an area where gang leaders wield a great deal of influence.

The majority of murders in the cities with the worst homicide rates are gang-related. And while it isn't always possible to be certain whether a killing was gang-related, the majority of homicide victims in city after city have been found to have criminal records.

In 2010, there were 11,078 firearm homicides in the United States and over 2,000 known gang-related killings, over 90% of which are carried out with firearms. Since 1981, Los Angeles alone has had 16,000 gang related homicides. That's more than twice the number of Americans killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

How can any of that text be taken seriously when it starts off with such a dumb premise...

What a dysfunctional society. Everything is polarized beyond any possible common ground.

How? If anything, he was more concerned about looking good abroad to give two shits about things happening here.

Trump was definitely the "bestest" at wrecking his country's reputation abroad.

One of the main reasons why the US rose to prominence after WW2 was a series of alliances and treaties with various countries all over the world. In only two years, he undid decades of work.
