  1.  Richard Miller  You are severely misguided if you think what I'm doing is trolling

  2. Yes, the guy with an increasingly declining approval rating wins again

  3. The fact that he chooses to insult people over it instead of actually trying to do something about it just shows his level of incompetence.

  6.  @TheMajorActual  In my experience, no Styx subscriber who told me to just Google something has ever been remotely concerned with citing sources, and you prove yourself to be no exception. The Trump campaign ran an ad saying Democrats want to repeal the Second Amendment, except the ad doesn't identify any Democrats in Congress or running for president who are calling for that. You know who did? Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, a Republican: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/27/opinion/john-paul-stevens-repeal-second-amendment.html You lie and project because you have nothing.

  7.  @TheMajorActual  - Shannon Liss-Riordan: Not in Congress - Marty Schexnayder: Not in Congress - Reason article: Not doesn't mention a single candidate who supports repealing the Second Amendment, but quotes Kamala Harris rejecting "a false choice which suggests you're either in favor of the Second Amendment or you want to take everyone's guns away" - Washington Times article: Oh, so we listen to polls now? - Karen Carter-Peterson: Her tweet was in fact referring to an op-ed column by Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens (a Republican) calling for the repeal of the Second Amendment. Even then, Louisiana's Democratic Party director said neither the Carter-Peterson nor the party wants to repeal the Second Amendment. Congrats, you're 0 for 5.

  8.  @TheMajorActual  Are you just going to ignore the Republican Supreme Court Justice who called for the repeal or are you going to keep ignoring reality like the Styx goon you are?

  9.  @TheMajorActual  You demonstrated no such thing. In one of your own links, the Democratic Party of an entire state said they don't want to repeal guns. Google proved nothing except that YOU proved nothing.

  10.  @timdake  Trump pardoned a guy convicted on campaign finance violations. Piss off with that bullshit.

  11.  @TheMajorActual  I point out the articles from Reason and Washington Times don't have a single Democrat quoted as saying "we must repeal the Second Amendment." Cory Booker never said it. Seth Moulton never said it. Amy Klobuchar never said it. John Hickenlooper never said it. Bernie Sanders never said it. Andrew Yang never said it. Bill de Blasio never said it. As I said above, Kamala Harris never said it. Eric Swalwell, Elizabeth Warren, Pete Buttigieg, Steve Bullock, Tim Ryan, and Julián Castro said the right to bear arms is protected by the law. John Delaney said he supported the Second Amendment. And the Washington Times doesn't mention a single Democrat by name. I checked; it doesn't. So you're lying about two of your sources, and you expect me to think you're the honest one?

  12.  C W  Tell that to the conservative Supreme Court Justice who wrote this: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/27/opinion/john-paul-stevens-repeal-second-amendment.html

  13.  C W  So... you support law and order only when it's convenient?
    1
  14. @BlueTrek Subie No wordplay whatsoever. You have failed to give me even one example of a Democrat saying "We must repeal the Second Amendment." A long while ago, I was asked by another Styx subscriber to show Trump promising to arrest Hillary. Apparently, anything short of him saying the words "I promise to have Hillary arrested" didn't count, even though he promised in a 2016 debate to have a prosecutor hired to investigate Hillary, a promise no one makes about anyone if they don't want the outcome to be the subject of the investigation's arrest. So apparently, it's okay when Styx's goons do it, but no one else. Democrats don't want to repeal it. They never said it because that's not their goal. Typical gaslighting Styx goons.

  16. One of the absolute poorest cities in the country is Valdosta, Georgia. Guess which party runs it. (Hint: it's not the Democrats)

  17. If you look up the safest cities in America, many of them are run by Democrats. So... you're full of shit.

  18.  @iusetheforce6460  Some examples: Columbia, Maryland Warwick, Rhode Island Yonkers, New York Broadview Heights, Ohio Hopkinton, Massachusetts Ridgefield, Connecticut

  19.  @BaltimoreAndOhioRR  Right, right, fixating on the one example you can nitpick and expecting that to invalidate every other example is totally the same as counter-evidence.

  20.  @BaltimoreAndOhioRR  Here's another conclusion that can be drawn: You can take your conclusions and shove them.
    1
  21.  @BaltimoreAndOhioRR  First of all, way to ignore my conclusion about your conclusions. Secondly, Styx is wrong. His implication is that the cities are dangerous as a direct result of Democratic policies, even though correlation does not automatically equal causation. https://www.thetrace.org/2016/11/homicide-rates-spike-major-cities-democrat-republican-mayors/

  23.  @timdake  Why are you describing supporters of Donald "I love the poorly educated" Trump?

  24.  @evilcam  Here are just three things Trump got wrong this year alone. 1. The population of Seoul: https://www.businessinsider.com/coronavirus-trump-got-the-population-of-seoul-wrong-by-millions-2020-3 2. The idea that no one had heard of Juneteenth before his Tulsa rally: https://www.forbes.com/sites/tommybeer/2020/06/18/trump-claims-nobody-had-ever-heard-of-juneteenth-before-he-made-it-very-famous/ 3. The accusation that DC mayor Muriel Bowser refused to let police near protests, ignoring the fact that Trump's own Secret Service the Metropolitan Police Department were “on the scene” during protests at the White House.

  25.  @chasm671  No, it isn't. It was first observed in 1866. Texas was the first state to make it an official holiday in 1979. Currently, 47 states and Washington DC observe it. So you're objectively wrong.
    1
  26.  @chasm671  Trump didn't say most people hadn't heard of it. He said "nobody had ever heard of it." Which is a lie. You're defending a liar.

  27.  @absolutezero2496  The truth is Trump's history as a glorified landlord makes him a hypocrite. He was sued in the 1970s for housing discrimination. He's so incompetent that it rubbed off on his son-in-law. https://www.businessinsider.com/jared-kushner-baltimore-housing-projects-2019-7 Is it wrong to say the Democrat-run cities have crime and poverty? No. But if Trump is such an expert, why doesn't he have a solution beyond insulting people? Newark, New Jersey has been blue since the 1950s and they recently had their lowest murder rate in decades. Just saying, incompetent leaders shouldn't throw stones.

  28.  @chasm671  I don't watch CNN, but of course you don't care for facts. Typical Styx goon, making baseless accusations with no evidence. You're no better than a communist.

  29.  @chasm671  “Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys wearing yarmulkes… Those are the only kind of people I want counting my money. Nobody else…Besides that, I tell you something else. I think that’s guy’s lazy. And it’s probably not his fault because laziness is a trait in blacks.” This was a direct quote from Trump according the former president of Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City. Trump confirmed it himself. You defend a fraud with lies. https://www.blackenterprise.com/black-unemployment-rate-more-than-doubles-to-16-7-in-april/

  30.  @absolutezero2496  So your strategy is to just pretend everything I say is a red herring so you don't have to do any actual research? Good to know, I guess.
    1
  31.  @absolutezero2496  Pfft, like you have any interest in the research I would suggest. You really don't see the problem with a guy who owns properties in various big cities telling the people who run those cities they suck? A subsidiary of Jared Kushner's firm owned housing complexes that were the subject of multiple lawsuits regarding decrepit conditions like leaking ceilings, maggots in living-room carpet, and raw human sewage coming from a kitchen sink. And mind you, those were lawsuits AGAINST tenants who tried to move out. https://www.businessinsider.com/jared-kushner-baltimore-housing-projects-2019-7 But Jared isn't Trump, so how about this? Styx mentioned previously that Trump was sued for housing discrimination in a lawsuit from the Justice Department that was ultimately dropped. He presented it like it was dropped due to lack of evidence, but that was a lie. The discrimination was indeed proven, but the case was essentially settled out of court (just like his hiring discrimination suit BTW - https://www.nydailynews.com/archives/money/trump-hit-race-suit-blacks-don-dealt-casino-jobs-article-1.726389). So the relevance is this. While the Democrats who run the big cities are not beyond criticism, Trump is the last person who gets to criticize on account of the fact that he is incapable of doing a remotely competent job of running anything without getting sued. What is Trump doing about crime in these cities that is legitimately helpful? Insulting Baltimore's leadership didn't change anyone's mind, nor will insulting the leadership of any other city change anyone's mind. If he actually wanted to do something about it, he would have.

  36. Never heard a single Democrat demand the outright abolition of the Second Amendment

  37.  @ootmaster1  You're projecting again.

  41.  @ootmaster1  You're still an incompetent liar who hasn't shared a single fact. You're no better than a commie.

  42.  @ootmaster1  You say that as if you're even remotely interested or even capable of hearing an explanation. But you're not. Here, I'll prove it. If can't respond to these without insulting me, you're no better than a commie. Incompetence: you haven't shared a single fact and you can't spell abbreviations properly Giving non-answers: "still dodging" is on the same level as "no, you!" Projection: the fact that you have done both of those things and yet repeatedly accuse me of doing them

  43.  @ootmaster1  Way to prove me completely right, commie. You defend a fraud with lies.

  44. @BlueTrek Subie I've heard precisely none who explicitly called for the outright removal of the Second Amendment.

  45.  C W  So... exactly what I said.
