    You've made a claim, it's fair to expect you to back it up.
    It is true they have been steadily dropping for black people (no idea about just males) since at least 2006.
    Not sure how much credit you can give Trump for it though.

    I’d like to see your source for that all the same. I suspect what we will see is, like unemployment numbers, no shift in trend between presidents, Trump having nothing to do with the state of the figure. Presidents don’t, as a rule, influence how the courts rule on criminal cases. Implying that Trump is responsible for a lower imprisonment rate is farcical. So I’d love it if you could demonstrate any inflection point in the trend line of incarcerations over time thank you and God bless.

    I implied nothing of the sort...I pointed out a trend that has been in motion for some time.

    It was Joe Biden, the man who has played a massive role in the mass incarceration of black people who once used described the Republican candidate as wanting to "lock you up in chains"...I merely pointed out that it seems black people have realized the con.

    “I implied nothing of the sort”

    Suuuuure bud
    Looks like Black people have realized who exactly is "locking them up in chains".

    Imprisonment rates for black men is also at lowest level in decades.

    Are you serious? You are on another thread lashing around all kinds of flawed statistics for months now and here you are unaware of the declining imprisonment rates for black people....you haven't a clue what you are on about!!!!

    Is it possible to endorse Trump without making wild unverifyable claims, false claims, doenright lies, or claiming Biden did something similar (and should not be president for that reason, while acceptign Trump did actually did it himself).

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Joe biden played a massive role in the mass incarceration of black people? Where is your proof on that? You obviously have proof of that?

    I pointed out number of black people in prison has been dropping since at least 2006...it was on a downward trend for 10 years before trump took over.

    “Flawed statistics”

    If you actually want to pretend to argue that do it on that thread. Stop being a childish coward over here.

    What do you make of the soaring approval levels amongst the black community for the current administration?

    You may need to clarify what your definition of “soaring” is.

    A poll going from 25-49% approval rating in the space of about 5 days does not sound in anyway reliable to me.

    Check out his crime bill in 1994.

    Surely you are familiar with it.

    So while you're backing up the other claims, be a good chap and slide in your verification on this too

    It’s “his?”

    Please clarify and provide evidence.

    I’m going to warn you now this bill wasn’t introduced by Biden. It wasn’t even introduced in the same chamber as him.

    You must, at this point, realise I'm going to ask for evidence? Because I'm nto aware of such levels and wil lsure as hell NOT be taking your word for it!

    So either link to proof or move on to your next unsubstantiated claim because at this point, your makign my point for me.

    So Joe Biden had nothing to do with the 1994 Crime Bill.

    https://edition.cnn.com/2019/06/06/politics/joe-biden-crime-bill-2020-campaign/index.html

    I will highlight the best bit shall I?

    "Biden, then the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, took ownership of the measure at the time.

    "A guy named Biden wrote that bill and he wrote that bill by going down and sitting down with the president of the United States of America," he said during a 1993 floor debate."

    Dopey Donnie claiming that other countries have fewer cases because they only test when someone comes into the hospital and throws up all over the floor.


    Could one of his disciples confirm if this is true?

    I am guessing this is it.
    Its 45 percent and literally no other poll showing anything like that.

    It was linked in post no 6447, just two pages back...a Rasmussen poll.

    But if you spent any bit of time away from your media bubble, you can see for yourself that there has been a shift in support from the black community to the current administration....I don't need a poll to tell me what I can see with my own eyes.

    I've been saying on this thread for months now.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,086 ✭✭✭BringBackMick


    There is serious momentum behind Trump now and with only 10 days to go it really is going to be a nail biter, all polls I see are moving towards a 1-2% lead for Biden which will not be enough to win him the white house. It is so intriguing, we really could have 4 more years of Trump, amazing.

    I pointed out to you fivethirtyeight didn't say 'soaring'. They said, "about as popular as any GOP President." So, if you can stay away from your media bubble and actually do some critical thinking, the hyperbole that tempts the scorn will stop.

    Proof of 'serious momentum?'

    And, if you're willing to take the challenge fill in the EC map and come back to us with your numbers and how you chose the 'swing' states.

    You must be involved with black communities in the US then to be able to say you've seen this with your own eyes? Please do tell us about your experiences?

    And you can quit wit hthe ad homeinems - they add nothing to your credibility
