Many of his tweets are just copy pastes of things other people have said on Texags’ politics forum. There is also actually is an actual Roscoe B Davis who is a real retired former police officer, who this guy just took that identity from.

Defund the Police



According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, cops have recorded almost 130 carjackings in the city over the last two months. Initially, they believed the crimes were happening mostly among bands of teenagers, but they soon discovered that it's not just marauding youths. Recent weeks have seen a rising number of adults being nabbed for carjacking, too.

And things are getting worse.

Just last Saturday, cops reported three separate carjackings in the span of one hour, the Star Tribune reported.

These types of attacks were up 537% for November, compared to one year ago.

The newspaper said Tuesday that Minneapolis has seen at least 375 carjackings in 2020, including 17 just last week. Those to-date 2020 figures are more than three times higher than all of 2019.

Voter fraud is real, but I suspect there's been a lot more of it on the republican side than the democratic side...

A Judge Just Shot Down 25 of the Trump Campaign’s Conspiracy Theories in Nevada

In his systematic evisceration of the Trump campaign-backed election contest in Nevada, a district judge in Carson City provided a handy guide for every conspiracy theory that fell flat. Judge James T. Russell wrote that Trump’s would-be electors “did not prove under any standard of proof” their baseless claims 25 times in his ruling.

Here is a guide to the campaign’s hypotheses, suppositions, allegations, rumors and all manner of lies that never got traction in Russell’s court.

Meanwhile, in Wisconsin. The sad and scary thing is that many Trump supporters just don't give a shit about this:

"These are just a few of the glaring flaws that render the petition woefully deficient. I therefore join the court’s order denying the original action. Nonetheless, I feel compelled to share a further observation. Something far more fundamental than the winner of Wisconsin’s electoral votes is implicated in this case. At stake, in some measure, is faith in our system of free and fair elections, a feature central to the enduring strength of our constitutional republic. It can be easy to blithely move on to the next case with a petition so obviously lacking, but this is sobering. The relief being sought by the petitioners is the most dramatic invocation of judicial power I have ever seen. Judicial acquiescence to such entreaties built on so flimsy a foundation would do indelible damage to every future election. Once the door is opened to judicial invalidation of presidential election results, it will be awfully hard to close that door again. This is a dangerous path we are being asked to tread. The loss of public trust in our constitutional order resulting from the exercise of this kind of judicial power would be incalculable."

Reading this morning about how certain counties in California just ignore the governor’s orders, including LA county, reminds me of an article, I partially read a few months ago, about the civil war in this country is not between red and blue states, but between red and blue counties. More power in enforcing law domestically is in the county more than federal and state.

In my mind, I’m thinking federal and state have funding power so municipalities have to acquiesce, but the author states that Trump had threatened federal funding to certain governors and mayors and politically couldn’t pull that off. Governor Newsom is threatening withholding of funds on certain counties, but that doesn’t seem to realistic politically.

Blue counties also have 70% of the wealth, but the author says that red counties have 95% of the land. I’m having trouble finding this article, but it was thought provoking.

when they say blue counties have 70% of the wealth, does that take into account the suburbs where a huge percentage of the workers commute from?

If you're going to just count physical location as a wealth center, then yea, of course major urban cities are going to account for a large % of that but if you break it down, I bet you'd find a significant percentage of the inhabitants actually working for federal, state and local government

The fact that you can't find the article is also thought provoking. When I read your post where you admitted you couldn't find it, the thought it provoked was "what a fucking idiot"...
