So all we need to do is find a way to put people in prison!

Win-win!

            Well that’s only fair, because I’m pretty tired of dealing with their policies.

                Lots, but currently pretty fucking infuriating to see cops get an increase of 160 million, while the fire department gets ~17 million cut. But I guess it balances out if they use those police to build an indentured class that they can pay next to nothing to fight the fires instead!

                  Yeah totally policies set forth by liberals. Totally not ancient federal and state laws

                    See part of why I have so much of a gripe with liberals is this sort of mentality here. California is one of the most solidly blue states in the country. Since you didn’t defend it on the merits, it seems you agree the choice I described in my post was not great, correct? But instead of realizing that it may be possible that rich politicians from your team are not actually on your side, you just defer to nebulous ‘ancient laws’ that apparently make it impossible for helpful choices in, and lets be clear here, a city deciding it’s own budget. Care to point to the federal and/or state laws that just hamstring the benevolent liberals of LA and force them to increase the police budget by 160 million dollars? Laws that apparently can’t be challenged, or circumvented by the liberals in those positions, since they would certainly do so if they could, right??

                  Its like having an idealistic sibling you for the most part agree with and defend that goes goes behind your back trying to sow discord to your other siblings for seemingly no other reason but to pump up their own ego.

                    It’s like having a boisterous sibling who makes bold claims and pumps you up, but when it comes time to put their money where their mouth is, they slink away with their tail between their legs. Or even, at times, rally with the other side.

                    Sure, maybe we’re idealistic. At least we follow through.
