So you ARE capable of noticing when others are being less than adult with the conversation but can't determine how stupid you sound from day to day. That is odd.

You should refrain from posting unless you can back up your claims with facts.
That would give you reason not to post in this thread, at least.
Perfect.

Yet there is the unending cries of Democrats defunding and dismantling law enforcement.
So they defunded and dismantled it, but at the same time weaponized it?

Trump is.
He mandated a $300 million reduction in LE funding during his first administration.

Biden ADDED $300 million, plus another $250+ million for LE.

If you look it up, they both increased and decreased LE spending - basically money got shuffled around and depending on the propaganda source, it will highlight the cut or increase to fit their political biases.

Definitely. When the information used is fraudulent.

What fraudulent info is being used to make Trump "look" like a criminal?

I'd say finding that Trump committed fraud against a bank by exaggerating the value of assets despite the fact the fact that the bank gave Trump's valuation a "haircut," despite the fact that the loan was repaid in full and despite the fact that the bank said they weren't defrauded. I'd say that fits Thx's claim.

As usual, anything to avoid addressing the actual issue or do you need somebody to post all the "defund the police" crap that the left spewed? Is your memory not functioning?

Reality is what the left tells him to do and think. As you can see from 2018 till now all he has done is tell everyone they are wrong and claim the left does no wrong.

You have to be careful about biased sources. We all know that if Trump cut FBI funding by $300m, but increased local grants by $500m, that MSNBC would report that as a $300m cut and FoxNews would report that as a $500m increase, but the truth lies in the middle.

Unfortunately, given today's propaganda driven "news" media, you can find an article to support either side of anything. Or when you run into those situations where only one side is reporting something, one has to question if the event even happened.

I know when the left leaning news claims something and has the nerve to put it on TV I ask why? Why have they presented this and is it true.

It's sad that we have to wonder what the medias' motivations are. Ideally, their motivation would be to report the facts, inform the public, etc. However, that's changed and modern medias' motivation is to move the needle and affect political change.

Because they have commercials and if they have no audience they make no money. Best way to insure you have an audience is with drama.

You think other countries should apply our laws to our citizens who are in those countries?

Damn, that's pretty friggin' entitled thinking.

What he is saying, everyone gets the same treatment in other countries. In the US, illegal immigrants get softer treatment, or no treatment at all.

I think he misunderstands on purpose.
