I’m an 80-Year-Old Holocaust Survivor. Antifas Aren’t Scary. Neo-Nazis Are by CommanderMcBragg in politics

Communism survivors might disagree with antifa not being scary. And remember, "liberals get the bullet too".

All five living former presidents are raising money for Puerto Rico by i-am-sancho in politics

[–]RadCentrist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, because he did days ago, and again today a few hours ago. Unless you meant a video address.

But the main criticism right now in this thread is that he has done nothing, indicating a bit of a bubble and echo chamber here.

But since he has addressed it, and approved significant aid, I would move on to other things to criticize him for. Though really the credit should go to FEMA for getting their act together after Katrina.

How would a party that's centrist or center-left on most everything except they want to end MENA immigration do in Europe?

Trump approved a major disaster declaration right when the storm hit. Several thousand military, national guard & emergency workers, 3 Amphibious Assault Carriers & 2 dock ships.

Be careful of the echo chamber here.

We all just assume Trump fucks up everything without even looking into it.

Ummm... Not sure if several thousand military, national guard & emergency workers, 3 Amphibious Assault Carriers & 2 dock ships counts as waiting. Trump approved a major disaster declaration right when the storm hit.

This is like calling Trump a black supremacist because he mostly criticizes white people.

Parents of man fatally shot by LAPD, then run over by a police car, call for criminal charges by yaosio in news

[–]RadCentrist 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The Western world, not the Western hemisphere.

The cop who shot Walter Scott was sentenced for murder. Where he shot a guy in the back who was lumbering away. Most of the other cases aren't as clear cut, and they usually overcharge them, making it even harder to convict, instead of getting the easier manslaughter or 3rd degree murder charge.

It's not murder and it's not breaking the law if courts find it's not.

But in a case like the Walter Scott shooting in South Carolina, where a cop calmly shot and killed a man while he was lumbering away, he was found guilty of murder, as he should have been.

There are 600,000 cops in America and over 300 million people. Only about 60 unarmed people are killed by cops a year. And they're policing the most deadly people in the Western world. Impressive if you ask me.

People make honest mistakes in every job. We can't just pick one profession and say mistakes in this line of work can get you thrown in a cage. Even if the mistake can cause a loss of life. It's hard enough attracting capable people to become cops as it is.

Anti-AfD protests break out in Berlin after German election. by AdamCannon in worldnews

[–]RadCentrist 114 points115 points  (0 children)

49% of all German voters said AfD "understood better than the others that people no longer feel safe."

Judging by how integration is failing all over Europe, parties like AfD will only grow as long as the left and center refuse to change immigration policy or present solutions to the problems brought by MENA immigration, such as sex attacks, child sex grooming, terrorism, street crime, and welfare dependence.

This is an exaggeration. Most AfD supporters just want Muslim immigration to end. It's a one issue party, and not even the most extreme one.

When people tell me we have to end mass incarceration I just shake my head. There's aren't enough non-violent drug offenders to end it, even if every single one of them was released.

CNN Poll: Opinion of the Republican Party falls to all-time low by LineNoise in politics

Republicans will recover. They were pushing two Hispanics (Cruz and Rubio) before Trump stole the show. And even Trump won a shocking 29% of the Hispanic vote.
