If drug laws were liberalized, as I propose, that sort of turf violence would be eradicated overnight. That's not what some people want, though, and at best they don't mind that black thugs are killing each other...

so how is legalizing drugs going to end systemic poverty in the inner city?

If Trump's proposals cause more liberals to want to move out of the country, more power to it. It's an empty threat, however. These whitebread liberals like Cletus say it all the time, but they never follow through with it.

This shit is partially enabled by the very middle American gun culture. It's completely insane.

I have no idea how many people actually look into moving but I know that I am. And, I know that it's hard to actually do. Getting a work visa is not easy. But, I'm going to London for work in a few weeks and one of the agenda items is the business case for me to work outside of the US. Say what you want about the other people but I'm fed up with this place and trying to get out.

Yep, people shooting up each other in suburbia all day long in Middle America having those insane middle American values

There is plenty of gun violence in suburbia. All of it is no good and all of it is made possible by the ridiculous easy availability of guns all over the country. It's stupid and its a pathetic part of our culture.

"so how is legalizing drugs going to end systemic poverty in the inner city?"

Well, it'll make drugs cheaper, so then all the addicts will have some extra pocket money...

you should move to another country

Cletus, it's funny that downtown Chicago is too conservative for you, so you're thinking of moving someplace where you can finally be free to express your progressivism. Personally, I recommend for you either North Korea or Syria. North Korea because they share your fondness for Marxism and hatred for middle American values, and Syria because they share your fondness for Islam and hatred of Christians and Jews. You should make yourself right at home there. You also wouldn't last 15 minutes in either place.

Just take a boat over the Mediterranean and land in France. You're in like flint.

To be fair to Cletus, I understand where he is coming from. I have dual citizenship with Ireland and an Irish passport. When Obama was elected, I was grateful that I had that option in case things got REALLY crazy, although they never did.

That said, I have a suspicion that if/when the Democrats take over again, their insane rage against Trump and Trump supporters will know no bounds. They will probably go full on Robespierre in retaliation. I may still need that passport someday to escape the guillotine administered by the forces of peace, love, pluralism, tolerance, diversity and inclusion.

You know I love you prof, but how big a pussy are you to continually obsess about lefty snowflakes and bedwetters threatening to make you their bitch? "They're mad and they're going to want to get even....can I hide in your bathroom?"

You claim full support from the military and the po-po. You obviously control all three branches of government. Yet a few black-clad slackers lobbing some rocks and bottles have you pooping your pantaloons.

Hell man, you wutt'n this scairt before Trump took over. What has he done to you?

First, congrats on your team's nail-biting win over Tech.

You know I love you prof, but how big a pussy are you to continually obsess about lefty snowflakes and bedwetters threatening to make you their bitch?

Because those lefty snowflakes and bedwetters, plus those who agree with them, make up half the country. I kinda like my freedom of speech, press, religion, self-defense, and some semblance of federalism. When a large group of people want to take those away from me, I notice, don't like it, and say so.

The military and the police do what they are ordered to do by whoever is in charge, as they should. If they are ordered by Democrats to round up Enemies of the State, such as treasonous Christian bakers, they will. SCOTUS is not controlled by conservatives. That would take at least one more liberal justice to be replaced by a conservative.

Hell man, you wutt'n this scairt before Trump took over. What has he done to you?

I was scared of Trump when he ran for POTUS because he talked like a crazy man. That's why I voted Libertarian, for the third straight time. But the real answer to your question is "what has he NOT done to me?" Yes, Trump still talks like a crazy man, no doubt. But he has NOT attacked my freedom of speech, press, religion, self-defense, and what's left of states' rights, as the Democrats were doing.

Well we should have stricter gun laws, more extensive background checks, and fingerprints and dna of everyone that buys a gun.

I am sure the criminal element will have no issues following the rules to obtain their guns that way.

So to sum up : Cletus hates guns and religion. Yup France, Germany, or Spain is where you should move. Just keep an open eye out in the market for those peace loving refugees.

" I may still need that passport someday to escape the guillotine administered by the forces of peace, love, pluralism, tolerance, diversity and inclusion."

In that case, I hope it gets revoked...

"Because those lefty snowflakes and bedwetters, plus those who agree with them, make up half the country."

That's not what you were saying the other day when 10ac posted that big red map...

We should have much stricter gun laws. We should have no guns. Make it impossible to get a gun or ammo and, over time, they will disappear.

What you really want is to rewind our culture back to the 1950s or earlier. You want America to be much whiter, you want brown people gone or quiet, you want gays back in the closet and freely persecuted, and you want less science. I can see why our world is so scary to you and Trump is so comforting.

LMAO! That's it, right there. Clear as day. I appreciate the honesty. Cletus wants to negate the second amendment. Same goes for the first amendment too, with its barbaric guarantee of freedom of speech, racist guarantees of freedom of religion, and all the rest. And most Democrats agree with Cletus. Tick, THIS is why I support Trump. Look no further.

The MSM being firmly entrenched w/the establishment should scare the sh!t out of everybody.
