    You go source this.

    The GOP voted for freebies for big corporations. Massive tax cuts with promises undelivered who is going to pay for it. And what did they do with them massive tax cuts? Them ceo's and wallstreet must have gotten their massive bonus,... not for working harder or better, but because of a tax break... because one setback and they had to go back to the government and get a massive free hand out because they got nothing in reserve... while they kicked out millions and millions of people who worked hard for a living. And here you are calling them millions and millions of people who lost their jobs "lazy criminals". You're so far out of touch of reality... it's utterly pathetic.

    The GOP first just gave hand outs to big corporations, through lowering taxes. No clue who or how this is going to be repaid.
    The GOP than gave hand outs because them big corporations gave their wealth to the luck 1%, and with no reserve when corona came by.
    Millions and millions of hard working people got kicked to the curb. And here you are calling them ignorant, and wish them criminals to go hungry.

    You sound indoctrinated.

    My daughter lives in Columbia South Carolina. She has been telling me that the protesting and looting is also happening in South Carolina. There has been a curfew where she lives. On the news this morning they were saying that there have been protests, riots, and looting in all 50 states. Plus most major Northern European cities held sympathetic marches.

    The real problem is a broken justice system.

    The term white Karens is racist. It damn near makes me think that the use of such a racist term would have been acceptable to the types of people who started wars 80 years ago.

    Let’s see if you can take it as much as you can dish it out.

    Agreed. I highly doubt many of of the victims of the rioting and looting will get justice. There were some scenes of mob beating that I won't display here but were absolutely hideous. The one where the thugs beat a woman and her husband protecting their small business was particularly disturbing. The MSM media is of course blacklisting them but the alt media is all over them. It sickens me to the core that the corrupt media is lying through their teeth throughout this madness.

    Another disengenuous or ignorant argument Impying without reason, logic, or proof that Democratic Party run cities are the worst based on the
    loner fact that they may be Democratic lead. The facts are the worst cities are the oldest and the most densely populated. But my humble observation is that sadly some people with a pro Trumpien agenda will more than likely ignore fact and logic and just blame the opposing party.

    CA, NJ and NY are republican dominated states?

    I have family in NJ, and they tell me that much of NJ is so disgusted with the way libs are running that state that there's a real good chance it could flip to red pretty soon.

    An interesting thing appears here. Pretty much every one of theses cities has gone back and forth in its politics. Rudy Giuliani was once the Mayor of New York City, and the city of Los Angeles once forbade live public Rock and Roll performances. By West Coast standards, most of the East Coast is suffocatingly conservative, even in the blue states.

    In your rush to vilify liberal cities, I see that you entirely missed the five liberal jewels. San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Boulder, and Minneapolis. Cities that have always had a liberal flair to them. Or even places like Boston and Denver. They are places conservatives like to say horrible things about, but when one looks at the numbers, they are some of the better places to live. Conservatives like to claim Portland is violent, yet it has one of the lowest violent crime rates in America. One is more likely to be killed in the rural South than in Portland.

    On top of that, all of the above mentioned cities are economic engines that drive the country’s economy. Conservatives like to paint liberals as mooches on the economy, but it is the liberal economic engines that are subsidizing the rest of the country. Conservatives will even go on about the homeless, but the homeless are everywhere, they are in every city in America, large and small.

    It is almost funny, if one is to believe right wing rhetoric, one would think that Portland had the worse homeless problem in the country. Turns out it doesn’t make the top ten. It barely cracks the top 50. Compared to places like New York or LA, the homeless problem in Portland is nothing.

    To show how off the propaganda is, the other day I read a link a poster had posted. It was a propaganda piece from the Heritage Foundation. It was almost funny. The article started off describing how bad the homeless problem was in Portland. Yet the author kept referring to the trash and needles in the alleys. Now there are a few alleys in Portland, but very few. People reading the article from elsewhere, those who live in more conventional towns and cities, might develop thoughts of a dirty alley with dirty bums and addicts.

    But Portland is a city without alleys by design. Not to say there are no alleys, but they are very rare. Ask a random Portlander where the nearest alley is and you are likely to get a blank stare, as the person searches their memories of where they might have seen one.

    Colorado, is a state that tends to be rather middle of the road with it typically having one Democratic and one Republican Senator and a balanced House delegation. In this upcoming election, Cory Gardner is sure to lose to Hickenlooper, as Trump loses in a landslide, which will give Colorado two Democratic Senators.

    In Arizona, when Trump was elected there were two Republican Senators. One, Flake, quit. In the 2016 election the Democratic Sinema soundly defeated the Republican McSally to take Flake’s former seat. Then McCain died and the Republican governor appointed the partisan attack dog McSally to take his seat. The seat is up for election and it looks as if the popular astronaut Democratic Mark Kelly is going to soundly defeat McSally. Giving Arizona two Democratic Senators.

    Even though Utah still votes Republican, the state has been turning considerably more liberal than their reputation suggests. I’m quite certain that it was establishment forces with the Utah government that forced the issue just enough to make to make same sex marriage a legal reality. Salt Lake City has done more to alleviate the homeless problem of any city, with their house them first, then deal with their problems philosophy.

    With just one more seat, possibly Susan Collins’ the Senate is tied and with Mitt Romney’s support, Trump is no longer impeachment proof. But then I doubt Trump is going to re elected.

    I know I have this somewhere, perhaps on my desk top, I will try to find it. It was an old (5years or so) study to determine the 50 worst cities over 200,000 population to live in. It looked at mean wages, poverty level, housing costs, parks, pollution, property crime stats, home break ins specifically, violent crimes,and education outcomes.
    47 of the 50 worst cities were democrat run 10 years or more, one more was democrat run 5 years or more and the numbers 49 and 50 were Republican run 5 years or more. But that means nothing because the 48 worst states were bad because.............................................
    Republicans no doubt.

    Is there anyone on here that lives in a democrat city, that you think things are fine?

    It may not be 100% but its not BS either. I live in Los Angeles and see the results of dems being in complete control. Lets not pretend that dems create a thriving society.

    yes, it is complete bullshit.
    blue states do better than red states. Blue cities do better than red cities. It's just reality.

    Here's the top fifty, an actual list, one not pushed by a conservative website, and a substantial number of them are located in ruby red States
