    The mayor at the beginning of Detroit's economic decline was a Republican named Albert Cobo.  His primary motto when he campaigned for election in 1950 was to stop the “Negro invasion” of white neighborhoods.  His signature accomplishment in office that he touted was his influence in the freeway constructions in Detroit that almost certainly contributed to the white flight that began during this era.

     

    Many contributing factors with a lot of nuance.  That doesn't resonate well with people consumed with party politics who assume every event in the universe can be traced to one of the two political parties in the US (good event = my party; bad event m= your party)

  • What happened to Rudy?  During 9/11, I literally thought the world of that guy. Now he's like some slimeball in Tony Soprano's gang. Which is the real guy?

    Hell, I’m more worried about the radical leftists in congress and running for president, nearly as big an enemy as we have, along with their media allies.

     

    But yeah, radical muslim terrorists are a threat to freedom worldwide.

    Yes, we'll all aware of your fear of radical leftists.  

     

    Still, you've not made a compelling argument for why this guy was a threat to our liberty.  "Freedom worldwide"?  If that's the goal, why haven't we started bombing Saudi Arabia yet?

     

    Fortunately the president's son-in-law is going to get the mideast mess worked out.

    The price of liberty is eternal vigilance.

    How did this Iranian general threaten our liberty?

    Let’s try this another way.

     

    Do you think he was a terrorist? Why or why not (without using the US Government as your reasoning)?

    I keep answering that I have no idea.  For your sake I'll assume he is.  If that's true, there's someone right behind him that will take up right where he left off. On top of that, I'm sure there are many other dangerous terrorists in the region.  Killing this one guy because of an imminent threat seems very simple and timely.

    Other than the US Government, what part makes you skeptical that he was a terrorist?

    I don't know that he wasn't.

    Although I agree with your sentiment, that we should just stay the fuck out of the middle east (icl would probably agree too), but this isn't what you two are arguing.  Either you think the dude was a piece of shit terrorist or not.  It's really not hard to believe he was a terrorist piece of shit, while also believing we need to gtfo the middle east.  If you don't think he was a bad guy, then that's on you, but that is quite the losing argument. Even the Iranian people disagree with the dumbasses here that want to paint him as a decent guy.   TDS is a hell of a condition.

    I'm not saying he wasn't a bad guy - that wasn't my point. I'm sure there are bad guys all over the Mideast that deserve a missile right now.  I just think it's concerning that we are supposed to believe our government on these matters when history shows they are wrong or deceitful many times. 

    This applies to Democrats and Republicans.

    The whole fucking world says he’s bad. There have been multiple times they could have killed him but Obama thought better of it. You couldn’t be anymore wrong.

    I’m not even saying it was a good or bad idea for Trump to actually do it, but you’re arguing against facts. Stop reading Vox. 

    I've never read Vox.  There's always a bad guy to kill somewhere in the Middle East. They'll be another after this guy. We never seem to find an end of our involvement there though.  Republican and Democratic president's are really not much different in this way. 

     

    And just remember that "everyone" said Sadam had WMDs too.

    He’s most definitely a terrorist, it isn’t up for debate. Whether he should have been killed or not is up for discussion, but the guy is responsible for the murder of THOUSANDS. What shit rags have you been reading? And as you can see from the news today, his own citizens hated him and are protesting the government still, so don’t listen to your media saying killing the dude unified the country.

    Not up for debate?  Says who?  You?  Well I'm convinced then!

     

    Seriously, this guy may have been a bad guy. But don't you find it interesting that the opportunity to kill him just happened to come up right now?  Do you think it's a good idea to just trust that he was bad because our government tells us so?

    And those who have supported him prior to that point will find any reason to justify doing so.

    Agreed.  It's okay to say your guy got it wrong.

    Are you insinuating he WASN’T a terrorist?

    Who in the hell knows. Maybe he was. But our government hasnt actually earned a. Lot of trust in these types of matters over the years. It's always interesting to me how when whoever is president gets into tough political situations domestically, some prime opportunity to use missiles magically opens up.

    So Trump blows up that terrorist a week ago, then Iran randomly decides to fake fight back and shoots down a plane. Dumbass journalists call it “caught in the crossfire” and liberals blame Trump. Quite the mental gymnastics. 

    It all comes back to those liberals trying to screw it all up. 

     

    Interesting how whoever is president, we're just supposed to implicitly trust them when they take yet more military action in the Middle East. Oh, you say he was a terrorist?  Then have at it. You guys and you're intelligence reports are never wrong as we know.

  • One of the passing "things" over the last few years was the downturn in NFL attendance due to he public's disgust with the kneeling players.  Guess what?  Dropping attendance is a problem for all major sports including college football.  OH  MY GOD, a situation that is actually more nuanced and has NOTHING to do with politics.  How do we fit that into our collective view that the universe breaks into facts caused by American conservative politicians and American liberal politicians????

    Every time you present this argument, you are just making a case for why the Government needs to stay the fuck out of everything.  You just don't realize it yet.

    Huh?

    Yeah it takes years for these companies to pull the trigger when the time is right.  Trump has made that time right.  If Hiliary was Prez they wouldnt be happening.  Thanks for making my point.

    You are viewing things through a simplistic lens.  One of the examples QO cited was Cleveland Cliffs building a hot briquetted iron plant in Toledo.  This plant was announced during Trump's first year.  However the work done to study whether they should build or buy, what location makes most sense, do they have the customers to take the end product, how will affect market pricing, etc. all were years in the making.
