Here’s some more Truths for are non believers
But both reports show that the country continues to experience historically low levels of violence. The murder rate per capita in 2021 (about 6.5 per 100,000) remains well below the modern high of 1980 (about 10.2 per 100,000). And reported victimization in the NCVS is sharply down over the past decade or more. In fact, the violent victimization rate is actually down about half since 2000. It’s a mere quarter of the rate in 1993, the all-time high in the survey.
Yep Let’s see The messages from republicans have been lies
Trump won
Jan6th was legitimate protest
Tommy’s comments were not. racist
Crimes out of control
Biden is a fear monger (for telling the truth) about nukes
Changing voter laws was because of election integrity! But only republicans stole voting data
Biden responsible for gas prices
And Walkers a good candidate with no issues
I could go on but there only so much Truth . Some people can take at a time

Did ANYONE claim that murder is at an all time high?
No.
So who are you responding to?
What I said, is that violent crime is up SINCE BIDEN AND TEH DEMOCRATS TOOK POWER IN 2021.
Biden isn't judged on changes between 1980 and today. He's judged on what has changed since he took over.
How about the stock market? Yes, you might say it's higher today than itr was in October 1929 after the big crash, but that's not what people (except you) are going to judge Biden on. The market is down since he took over.
Crime up, inflation up, stock market down, gas prices up, border an absolute hot mess. Those are losing issues for Biden.
Abortion, jobs, and Trump are winning issues for Biden.
In a few weeks, we get to see what Americans care more about.
Murder is lower than it was in 1980. My God Wayne, you are desperate. There's nothing you won't say. Nothing. You don't need to be desperate, there's not going to be a "red wave" in November, at best the GOP will control the house by a few seats and it's be a miracle if they took the senate. The pendulum will move slightly, probably very slightly to the right. You don't need to go berserk over that prospect, do you?
"Murder was higher in 1980", as a rebuttal that crime is up under Bidens watch. Un-believable.

so according to wdmso, because this isn’t the worst moment in the history of the world, that means Biden doing a good job.

every single tax bracket saw a cut then. it’s a lie to say it only helped the wealthy.
“our economy is strong as hell.”
two consecutive quarters of gdp decreases. that’s strong as hell.

It's funny how MTG said her husband had proof of election fraud in last nights debate when it really was probably just a text from him that said 'I know you cheated!'

"U.S. Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) is the latest Democrat to back out of a public debate with a Republican challenger. The NH Journal reports that the senator’s campaign contacted the Nashua Chamber of Commerce, which was to have hosted the debate, and announced that Hassan would pull out of the event if she would be required to appear on stage alongside retired Brig. Gen. Don Bolduc. According to Chamber President Wendy Hunt, both campaigns had previously agreed to participate in this standard debate format.
Secretary of State Katie Hobbs justifies her refusal to face off with Republican nominee Kari Lake with this word salad: “Unfortunately, debating a conspiracy theorist like Kari Lake — whose entire campaign platform is to cause enormous chaos and make Arizona the subject of national ridicule — would only lead to constant interruptions, pointless distractions, and childish name-calling.” Lake is a former television journalist who excels in the cut and thrust of political combat. This is, of course, the actual reason Hobbs won’t face her.
Democratic Attorney General Josh Shapiro is running against GOP State Sen. Doug Mastriano, who has challenged the former to debate him in a venue where the media can’t run interference (à la Candy Crowley). Mastriano has instead proposed an arrangement whereby he and Shapiro would pick moderators of their own choice and field questions from both during an October debate. Shapiro refuses to consider any such arrangement, and dismisses any suggestion that the legacy media is biased.
John Fetterman used every dodge in the book to avoid debating his Republican opponent, Dr. Mehmet Oz. Fetterman finally caved under public pressure and will allegedly debate Dr. Oz once on October 25. Likewise, Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) stalled as long as possible before agreeing to a single debate with GOP challenger Tiffany Smiley. Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) temporized as long as he could before finally accepting a single debate proposed by Republican challenger Herschel Walker on October 14."

Pete, got any data that Ryan trounced JD Vance? or is that yet a other example
of you fabricating things again?
Yesterday’s USA today poll has Vance with a tiny lead
Vance clobbered ryan by pointing out Ryan’s lies about Vances abortion position, and talking about a rape of a ten year old committed by an illegal immigrant. Watch that video, i thought Ryan was going to start crying.
Here’s actual data on that race, not just me fabricating what i want facts to be…you don’t like the facts, so you invent your own.
https://thehill.com/homenews/campaig...race-poll/amp/
Walker not showing up is bad. Abbott doesn’t need to debate that clown ORoarke. that race is over.
I look forward to your data that ryan trounced vance.

maybe...we'll see, he might ride the Governor's coattails into office and probably figures he did enough in the debate to get him over...the dems are resorting to desperation measures at this point and and manage to make themselves look worse without any help.....

they’re coming a tad unglued, recent polls ( which someone here refuses to comment on!) clearly shifting back to the gops favor as any hope for reduced inflation before the midterms is gone.

Well boys just think
A vote for a Republican in any House race on Nov 8 is a vote for Marjorie Taylor Greene on the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees and for Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House.
It’s also a vote to make abortion illegal nationwide even in cases of rape or incest.
The sequel to Idiocracy

Future Democratic stars at risk of getting wiped out in the midterms
A number of second-term House Democrats are seen as future statewide candidates within their party.

FREDERICKSBURG, Va. — Democrats elected their political future in 2018. Now, that bench of potential statewideleaders could get wiped out.

Then by that logic, a vote for any democrat is a vote for Chuck Schumer as senate majority leader, who explicitly threatened Justices Kavanaugh and Gorsuch by name on national TV. Also a vote for AOC who obviously lied about her abuela's plight in Puerto Rico, a vote for Eric Swalwell who slept with a Chinese spy, a vote for Hank Johnson who said he's afraid Guam is going to tip over, a vote for Ihan Omar who despises Jews, and a vote for Pelosi as speaker who said we need to pass Obamacare and THEN we can see what's in it.
"It’s also a vote to make abortion illegal nationwide even in cases of rape or incest."
Funny, that's what Ryan said about JD Vance, who then called out Ryan's lie and said he supports common sense exceptions like rape.
You got nothin. And you're getting desperate...I still think democrats hold the senate, I don't think they keep the house. And I can't find polling on what's going to happen at the state level, not that there's any mystery of what's going to happen in my state, The People's Republic Of Connecticut.

But Biden said the economy "is strong as hell" as he was stuffing his stupid, fat, red mouth into an ice cream cone. All he was missing was a beanie on his head that is multi-colored and has a propeller on top.

Republican plan if they take over the house
When] Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) was asked in January what Republicans would do if they regained the majority, he dodged: “That is a very good question,” he said, “and I’ll let you know when we take it back.”
Their plan had been leaking slowly
And it’s
Republicans’ secret economic agenda? Cause A global financial
crisis.
none of them have clarified their strategy for fighting inflation, unless you count shouting “SOCIALISM!” and “KEYSTONE!” over and over. But they have given a peek at other ideas
What ideas you ask
make the 2017 Trump tax cuts permanent, as well as to extend or expand several other corporate tax breaks. See how well that works for the English
This is the plan hold the debt ceiling hostage . usually framing their hostage-taking as a commitment to fiscal restraint. Ya right
But the debt ceiling has nothing to do with new spending;
But the base has no clue how it works they somehow think that’s owning the libs

He wants to blow air on their fire and give them an audience to fan their lies. Why is that unless you agree with the claimed

But then she won. Odd how that works
I signed a letter with 120 other generals and admirals saying that Trump won the election. And dammit I stand by my letter. I’m not switching horses, baby.” Bolduc
This is Bill Gates saying we should put chips inside people now," Bolduc said during an event in May. "That's a dangerous violation of my constitutional right."

instead of seeing how well corporate tax cuts worked in England, why. not look and see how the Trump tax cuts worked here? wasn’t that long ago. I remember soaring stock markets, plunging unemployment, and inflation right around zero.
isnt what happens in america, a little more pertinent than how things impact life in england?
the gop had the majority a few short years ago. how do you think americans would answer if they were asked if life was better then or now?
doesn’t mean the gop will be able to fix anything. But the democrats run the entire federal government, and just about everything that can be measured, is worse than it was.
