There's nothing you said in this thread that reads as a prediction. And the clip doesn't bear out what you now say was a prediction. Not that any of that matters. You'll just say something else.
I'm not so sure he likes Trump, who is aesthetically unappealing and, as we all know, Jaybird's politics are almost entirely aesthetic, as that he dislikes the people who dislike Trump. Again, largely for aesthetic reasons.
There is no policy of putting "more resources into making sure that women are not set on fire." There are policies that can reduce assaults and homicides generally, whether by normal or more exotic means, but they are expensive, require intelligence, and are unlikely to satisfy bloodlust.
But Philip, the "actual experience" of people who actually experience things (or don't experience things) doesn't count as much as the "actual experience" of people not in a position to have actual experience or who are demonstrably wrong about what they think they are experiencing.
There won't be a recall movement then, if for no better reason (and there is a much better one -- like most older states we don't have recall elections) than that the Manhattan DA comes up for re-election in the ordinary course in November 2025. There will be some sacrificial lamb to run as a Republican, but nobody is currently making noises about challenging Bragg in the June primary, which would be cutting it pretty close. Even the New York Post, which despises Bragg, thinks he's a shoo-in for re-election.

There's the discussion that happened and the discussion that DD thinks he remembers.

People shouldn't say things I don't want to hear. I, on the other hand, reserve the right to say what I damn please. And don't dare tell me I'm wrong.

So you aren't making an argument on your own responsibility; you're just channeling the universe?

You "think" that's the argument? It's your argument; you should know one way or the other.

It has been a while since I called you out for poor reading comprehension. You must have missed it.

If you want to argue with someone who doesn't think we need cops in the subways, have at it. The voices in your head don't count. though.

You're entitled to your own opinions, not to your own facts. And projection isn't just something that happens in a movie theater.

Are you seriously suggesting that two incidents, none particularly serious, in over four decades is something to wet myself over? If so, why?

Why would you think a silly thing like that? Try re-reading.

You must be new around here.

No, your choice is not to make it a phony quantitative issue. I take the liberty of cutting and pasting:
How many interactions with police that result in deaths is too many?
Compare to the number of women set on fire by illegal immigrants that would be deemed too many.
