Biden gets a Medal Of Freedom

[Denny Crane]

You sure about that? Because it sounds like his district is actually doing fine:


Georgia’s 5th State average National average

Unemployment rate (2015) 8.2 percent 5.5 percent 5.0 percent

Median household income (2015) $48,017 $49.620 $53,889

Poverty rate (2015) 17.3 percent 17.0 percent 13.5 percent

Percent with high school degree (2015) 87.6 percent 85.4 percent 86.7 percent

Percent with bachelor's degree 40. percent 28.8 percent 29.8 percent


Atlanta, the heart of the district, is a major international transportation hub and one of the fastest growing places in the country. Forbes named the city the ninth best place in America for businesses and career development, and among the best for job growth and education.

3.2% higher unemployment than the rest of the country, 2.7% higher than the rest of the state?

Lower measures of prosperity, too.

That's kicking ass!

If you're barfo.

Fun fact, Biden wrote the original bill that went on to become the Patriot Act.

The single most expansive attack on Freedom ever, and absolutely illegal and immoral in every sense of the words.

Nobody who supported it can ever be considered anything but an enemy and traitor to our country.

I have medals...two of them from the Navy..pretty far out...

I don't "have" any. I guess Congress dream up some though since I was on active duty.

 

[MARIS61]

Do you remember his explanation about why people don't need an AR-15, and how to scare an intruder with a double-barrel shotgun by walking out onto your porch and firing both barrels into the air?



The guy is a fucking moron when it comes to common sense.

One of my best friends lived in St Johns 30 years ago, and he got drunk at home with a neighbor friend. Too drunk to remeber what it was about but the guy attacked him suddenly and beat him up so bad he later ended up in the hospital. The fight spilled out the front door and he managed to get inside and lock the door, but the guy started breaking windows and kicking the door screaming he was going to kill him. My friend doesn't even know how to fight being a total pacifist, didn't want to hurt anyone, just survive long enough to call the police. He fired his pistol out a broken window into the ground to scare the guy off. Nothing happened to the attacker but my friend now has a felony record and cannot own a firearm the rest of his life. The cops who arrested him, and his attorney, said he should have shot the guy point blank and killed him , and he'd have not even been charged with anything.

That's a shitty situation. I'm sorry to hear that.

While I don't know the situation, it sounds like it could have been avoided if they weren't drunk. Just a hunch though.

 

[MARIS61]

Here's some actual history about Joe...
He served an instrumental role in passing the bipartisan initiative to create a Commission on Civil Rights in 1983, to introducing the 1986 Global Climate Protection Act, to establishing an annual National Mammography Awareness Day, and to authoring the Rail Security Act of 2007 to regulate the transportation of hazardous materials on American railways, Senator Biden consistently works to tackle America's toughest challenges.

Authored the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994
2007 Biden Crime Bill

Recently introduced the College Affordability and Creating Chances for Educational Success for Students (ACCESS) Act...

He also authored legislation to help foreign countries address the threats of bioterrorism and nuclear or radiological ("dirty bombs") terrorism. And he sought to expand programs to destroy unsecured weapons of mass destruction and dangerous materials in the former Soviet Union and beyond.

Visit his senate site and see. It's not a matter of opinion. It's all FACT.
respect the good guys is my motto....Joe is one of them

The supposed anti-crime bills were racist and designed to fill prisons run by his campaign donors, and were opposed by, wait for it......The Commission on Civil Rights, the ACLU, the NAACP...

The rest of his very limited lifetime resume is nothing but empty feel-good, acts that accomplished nothing in support for Freedom.

 

[MARIS61]

First part is absolutely correct, but I think you got that second part wrong. If he didn't give a shit he wouldn't be so butt hurt about losing the popular vote.



Good list. I predict you'll have lots more to add to it soon.

He won the popular vote by over 2 million votes in 49 states.

California isn't really a part of this country anymore as they have for decades refused to abide by The Constitution, The Bill of Rights, or any Federal law they don't feel like abiding. They are The South circa 1860, and they've declared war on America.

 

[MARIS61]

..have you ever peaked at the quote book of the guy you voted for???

It makes his own party cringe and have to play apologist almost every time he has a sound bite.

Trump has never been a Republican, and he opposes a very large part of their agenda. That's one reason why so many Democrats voted for him once they realized their own party was completely corrupt.

Definitely alcohol was the only reason any of it occurred.

Oddly enough he now builds and launches rockets as a hobby which requires a license from DHS.

Go figure.

[MARIS61]

So do liberals really prefer double barrel shot guns being fired in their neghborbood for intimidation vs. Someone owning an ar-15 for sport shooting in an area where it is legal to discharge?

When it comes to guns, they want what they are told to want, because they lack the simple power of rational thought.

 

[barfo]

You could not avoid finding it so I think you deliberately didn't look, as is your usual M.O..

I simply googled most dangerous cities in America.

Nearly 5 times the national average.

If you counted career criminal as an occupation Atlanta would have a 100% employment rate. Putting that education to good use.

I notice that that article is from 2011. Why is that, do you suppose, when there are much more recent versions available?

Could it be that the current stats don't make your point for you, because crime has actually declined sharply in Atlanta?

Here's the 2016 version of the same article. You'll note that Atlanta isn't even listed.

Edit: apologies, I didn't look close enough here. Maris' article is from Useless News & World Report, mine was from Useless Today. Name similarly fooled me. So mine was not an updated version of the same article (although it is based on more up-to-date data).

Good thing you got guns, then, because LaPine isn't all that far from the border. The California army will be marching through soon on their way to the Battle of Seattle.

Actually, it is as Trump described it.

You're the one without a point. Except the shape of your head.

Oh, well, that's a good argument. Maybe if you add "because I said so" it would make it even more convincing.

What Trump tweeted is in the public record.

The stats you posted are, too.

And then there's your odd analysis of them. And the "because I said so" nonsense in there somewhere.

I simply posted the first verifiable article that google gave me. The one you pretended not to see.

How many links did you discard before using this selective and extremely limited "article" from USA Money?

Atlanta has always been a leader in crime going back to the early 1900's anyway, and has often been the Murder capital of America. The most crime-infested cities all have similar numbers and fluctuate yearly, but Atlanta will always be in the upper echelon of places where crime and corruption rule the day.

Out of 35,000 cities in America, Atlanta has always been in the top 50.

Crime has dropped a bit in recent years, but you're really not going to like the reason why.

It's because gentrification on a massive scale has replaced the main body of criminals, African Americans, with law-abiding Caucasians and Asians

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Atlanta#cite_note-23

Atlanta is, as of 2010, the nation's 4th largest black-majority city and has long been known as a "black mecca" for its role as a center of black wealth, political and social power, education, and culture including film and music.[21]

The city of Atlanta is seeing a large demographic increase in its white population, and at a pace that outstrips the rest of the nation. The proportion of whites in the city's population grew faster between 2000 and 2006 than that of any other U.S. city.[22] By 2010, Atlanta's white population had increased by 22,763 people. The white percentage increased from 31% in 2000, to 35% in 2006, to 38% in 2010, more than double the increase between 1990 and 2000. During the same time, the city's black population decreased by 31,678 people, shrinking from 61.4% of the city's population in 2000 to 54.0% in 2010. The demographic changes are due to an influx of whites into gentrifying intown neighborhoods, such as East Atlanta and the Old Fourth Ward, coupled with a movement of blacks into adjacent suburbs, such as Clayton County.

Half of my income (at least) comes from Californians moving here to escape everything about California. Imagine hating what your home state has become so much that you'd pack up your belongings, kids and pets, quit your jobs, sell your house, leave your lifetime friends and family behind...

Every one of them, regardless of party, tells me that unless you live in LA or the bay area their vote is meaningless.

So you are saying that Californians are rational and can count.

I assume you advise them honestly that if they buy a house from you in La Pine, their vote will be equally meaningless.

Hey folks, I'm gonna unsubscribe to this thread. I've said my piece here, and I'm on to other things. So if someone replies to something I said, I'm sorry, but I likely didn't catch it.

Forgive me...you're in Law Enforcement? Corrections, right?

Or am I thinking of someone else?

You should get well below MSRP. Cops and Military always get good deals.

Let's just say i have the credentials and im not military. Yeah a coworker got a $700 glock for like $360
