Any idea why so many Republicans are taking Vlad Putin's side in the war?

As a libertarians I can assure that the Republicans aren't siding with the Putin. The Democrats just think anyone who doesn't want to sent tens of billions to Ukraine instead to Americans is "anti-american".

Trump broke the GoP. The war mongers are officially all on the left now.

Come on boys. Calm down. Stop shooting each other. Maybe you need to rethink this 'we need more guns to stop crime' idea. Doesn't seem to be working for you.

The rate of murders in the US has gone up at an alarming rate. But, despite a media narrative to the contrary, this is a problem that afflicts Republican-run cities and states as much or more than the Democratic bastions.

In 2020, per capita murder rates were 40% higher in states won by Donald Trump than those won by Joe Biden.

8 of the 10 states with the highest murder rates in 2020 voted for the Republican presidential nominee in every election this century.

It’s why all the members of the military industrial complex aligned themselves with Biden prior to the election.

no, the military backed biden because trump proved himself unable to fulfil the role of commander in chief. Trump seems to have given away classified secrets, tried to start an invasion of Mexico, has zero personal honor, eagerly welcomed the help of Russia to get elected, extorted Ukraine and - get this - sent a mob to sack congress.

After the election guess what we found out. Yup. he stole classified documents and hid them in his country club, and allegedly moved them around to avoid detection.

But trump knows the difference between a girl and a boy so he does have the support of 80 million 'conservatives'

this has some suicide numbers too. Bleak.

From 2016 to 2020, 13 of the 20 U.S. counties with the most gun homicides per capita were rural: (see Figure 1)
80 percent of these 20 counties are in states that received an “F” grade for their weak gun laws, according to Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence’s 2021 annual state scorecard rankings.
In 2020, the total gun death rate for rural communities—when age-adjusted per 100,000 people—was 40 percent higher than it was for large metropolitan areas.

really interesting question if adult truly believes any of this, or if he is just a persistent troll.

honestly I don't know. He seems too smart to actually believe dumbsh/t lies like what he posts but who knows. If you live your entire life in right wing memes you might think this nonsense is true.

I lean toward 'adult is a persistent troll.' but only 70/30 or so.

You can't refute Biden extorting Ukraine on video so you insult me.

The Steele dossier was literally Russian disinformation. No rational person denies this.

Steele himself wouldn't even validate it even after the FBI offered him $1 million to help them in the election.

see, you can't be dumb enough to think biden was extorting ukraine. You can't. So that's why I think you are a persistent troll. 3 minutes of googling shows us all that biden was part of an international effort to get real prosecutor in place, not a lacky. You have to know that.

So yeah, you are a troll. You gave yourself up by trying to dumb yourself down to rube level.

A crack addict was making $50k a month in Ukraine to gain favor with Joe Biden.

You can't insult all you want, The facts are the facts.

What a lie. How many of these cities are run by republicans? None?

The twenty cities in the United States with the highest murder rates (murders per 100,000 people) are:
St. Louis, MO (69.4)
Baltimore, MD (51.1)
New Orleans, LA (40.6)
Detroit, MI (39.7)
Cleveland, OH (33.7)
Las Vegas, NV (31.4)
Kansas City, MO (31.2)
Memphis, TN (27.1)
Newark, NJ (25.6)
Chicago, IL (24)
Cincinnati, OH (23.8)
Philadelphia, PA (20.2)
Milwaukee, WI (20.0)
Tulsa, OK (18.6)

Of the top 14 cities with the highest murder rates, 13 are "led" by Democrat mayors. Tulsa, which is at the bottom of the list, is the only one with a Republican mayor.

#1 Phillips County, Arkansas

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phillips_County,_Arkansas#2020_census

66% black. Therefore, majority Democrat.

#2 Lowndes Country, Alabama

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lowndes_County,_Alabama#2020_census

69% black. Therefore, majority Democrat.

#3 is St. Louis. Very Democrat.

And on and on and on.

Your article proves that Democrats are the problem not geography.

I’m just trying to wrap my mind around the idea of a Republican run city. Closest I can think of is Colorado Springs. It’s murder rate was 4.80 in 2021. About half that of Denver (9.19). Springs is 56.2% Republican. Denver is 73.7% Democrat.

first off, diverting away from the red STATE crime problem is just boring. Confront the issue.

Second of all, y'all are terrible at internet research.

here's a handy list of cities with R and I mayors

Some examples

Miami

VA Beach

Colo Springs

Omaha

Mesa AZ

Jacksonville

Ft Worth
