Wish American cities would quit hiring savage thugs to be police officers.criminals.
I really wonder what the actual percentage of police officers is who chose the job primarily because they wanted to serve the community as opposed to mostly wanting raw power. I fear it's not favorable.

Same thing exists in the military.

Thing I'm listening to brought up a good point. What about gun stores? Folks breaking in and walking off with AR's and other weapons?

But no I'm not going to vote to send soldiers or money to constantly rebuild or even police these incorriggible people bent on crazy self destruction.

Who are "those incorrigible people" Ajax? How do you identify them for purposes of withdrawing government services to?

There's a massive, increasingly contentious gathering of protesters outside the Whitehouse right now. That situation might go sideways.

The main problem in this country is education, and too many people's attitude toward it. Stupidity and ignorance have actually been glorified by a large portion of the US population. People are suspicious toward those with an education. We were threatened with Palin, and now we suffer Trump, because people like to hire idiots like them.

ajax could be the ignorance poster boy. Even if I thought he was serious, I don't take him seriously. He's an obvious imbecile.
What I find the most remarkable thing about ajax is how oblivious he seems to how unambiguously he has outed himself as an incorrigible, heartless and even misanthropic bigot. His attitude is as antithetical to the teachings of his Lord and Savior, whom he professes to worship, as anything could possibly be. He is a disgrace to the religion in which he claims membership. I know of no Latter-Day-Saints who share his extremely racist and xenophobic views. In fact, unlike most other religious organizations, the LDS Church has not expressed any definitive stand either for or against illegal immigrants. If anything, the evidence indicates that the Church is more inclined to be sympathetic rather than antagonistic towards them, and even openly proselytizes to them and welcomes them with open arms when they convert and desire baptism into the fold.

On the other hand, maybe I am mistaken about whom he truly regards as his Lord and Savior. If DJT is his real Lord and Savior, it all makes sense!

FYI:Louisville was the location of the Breonna Taylor killing by LE in mid-March.

But everything he claims is suspect.

It's been my experience that people who claim a religion or like to talk about it are much less likely to be sincere about it than those who keep that crap to themselves. People only seem to talk about it to virtue signal, despite it being an exceptionally flawed signal.
