    What terrorism might you be referring to? Right now the only terrorism I see is from lefty groups who still can't get over 2016's election and want to murder cops while they burn down buildings.

    Things are only going to get worse in NYC as people leave and those who remain will have their taxes increased to pay the bills. Like a lot of democrat controlled cities, the money always seems to be funneled to the unions.

    Why New York City Is In Trouble – 114,041 Public Employees With $100,000+ Paychecks Cost Taxpayers $14.6 Billion

    Mayor Bill de Blasio is aggressively pushing for a $12.4 billion federal bailout— because New York City faces an unprecedented $7 billion budget deficit over the next two years.
    ...............................
    Our auditors at OpenTheBooks.com dug into the skyrocketing city payroll. In 2016, there were 76,166 employees with pay exceeding $100,000. By 2019, there were more than 114,000 — a 50-percent increase in six-figure earners.

    In 2019, plumber helpers earned $172,988; thermostat repairmen made up to $198,630; regular laborers hauled away $213,169; electricians lit up $253,132; and plumbers pocketed up to $286,245.

    School janitors ($256,000) out-earned the principals ($154,000). Four deputy mayors made over $241,641 each and 5,998 city employees out-earned New York governor Andrew Cuomo ($178,000).

    The city has 331,520 full-time equivalent employees – up from 297,349 in 2014.
    .....................................
    Only in New York City can school janitors out-earn the principals. We found 40 “custodial engineers” who earned between $154,000 and $256,000, while 57 principals made less than $154,000.

    Last year, over 50,000 educators earned a six-figure salary, including 37,324 teachers and substitutes.

    The public schools spent a hefty $28,808 per student – twice the national average ($12,612) – while fourth and eighth grade math and reading tests significantly underperformed state and national averages.

    Hate crimes of every kind racial, religious, sexual issues you name it have increased every year of Dirty Donalds reign of terror. Violent crime of every kind has increased during his reign. Criminals apparently like to follow the leader???

    Guess what. It will continue to increase under your man Biden.

    This is a man who creates a problem (Biden Crime Bill). And then proposes to create the solution.

    I have a question for you that will be very difficult to answer but please give it a shot. How long will it take Biden to build the 500,000 charging stations he promised or the high speed trains he promised would take millions of cars off of the road?

    Social unrest always increases when there is an economic crisis or when a head of state exacerbates tensions in the country.

    Under Trump, the US had both.

    It will be different with Biden, as it was with Obama.

    Unless he tries to buy them off with ballooning welfare gimme programs and affirmative action grants, using our (taxpayers) hard earned money. I wouldn't put it past the Democrats, who love redistributing our money, pandering to minorities, and flirting with socialism. There is more than one way to "have those n***ers voting Democratic for 200 years" after all, Democrat LBJ might be quite proud of his party ;)

    Trump didn’t cause BLM and ANTIFA to riot burn and pillage, unless you consider not accepting their insanity as exacerbating? ONLY Democrats sat back and celebrated the riots. They clapped as they rioted and ignored the burning, CHAZ, and murders, including all the violence against police. Billions in damage ignored or pathetically blamed on a literal handful of tiny insignificant right wing groups. Even with all the video evidence of 1000s of examples of BLM and ANTIFA...The MSM and Dems tried to fool people into thinking it was someone else. Pathetic.

    You’ve got it all assbackwards.

    Please tell me more. We all have completely forgotten the nearly year long riots and looting that happened in Ferguson under Obama.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferguson_unrest#cite_note-WashPost.Even-218

    I sincerely believe the new normal is to riot/loot after every shooting. Hopefully not but I have zero faith in Democratic leadership in those communities.

    They probably think that when Ferguson burned it was Trump's fault too. Hell, they probably think Trump is to blame for the Rodney King riots too. Or maybe they've forgotten all about those types of events, in an attempt to rewrite history so that all unrest is Trump's fault and on Trump's watch.

    I'm still ROFLing at the idea that when liberals riot and destroy things somehow it is Trump's fault. LMAO! Trump's not the one condoning and encouraging it!

    For 4 years now you have been told that Trump is a POTUS that divides and exacerbates tensions in the country.

    Electing Trump leads to social unrest and riots.

    That's one of the reasons voters just kicked him out.

    I live in NYC and can say honestly that the best mayor in my lifetime has been Rudy Giuliani and it really isn't close. There are too many far left crazies in NYC and this is one place that definitely needs a Republican mayor who can look them in the eye and tell them to go F themselves.

    Yes. For 4 years the MSM exaggerated and lied about him and despite all that he still produced a wonderful economy, helped the ME, didn’t start any wars and did quite a lot for black people including prison referee, then Covid hit. People then ignorantly like to include the economic hardships or riots that followed as something Trump caused. That is idiot trash that only low info individuals believe.

    ONLY Democrats cause social unrest and riots. FACTS!!!! Trump loses and no riots from the Right. No damage. Nothing. Cities prepared for the Leftist onslaught and feared Democrats causing damage. FACTS!!! Pesky things.

    But didn’t you read? By NOT condoning it he is exacerbating it, hehe. It’s amazing the delusions of the Leftist hive mind.

    How did Trump cause any of that? Most of the violent hate crimes you speak of were committed against Trump supporters. But I like how you blame Trump and not the mayor of NYC or the governor of NY. How much of the crime you mentioned was committed by Trump supporters?

    Typical leftist point of view. People choose to be criminals and it's not their fault.

    You must like how on the internet you don't have to justify anything you say......must be handy for lefties.
