[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the kind of thing you resort to when you can't do math. Trump claims that Chicago is the "murder capital of the world." He also referenced 50 people being murdered recently, but he's likely incorrectly describing a recent weekend when 8 people were killed and 50 were wounded. Yes, Chicago did have 573 murders in 2024 and that's a horrible thing. But it also has a population of 2.7 million people - and any time you gather that many people in a single jurisdiction numbers get higher. Birmingham, Alabama had 153 murders last year with a population of only 200k. Scale that up to Chicago's size and we're talking more than 2000 murders. I would much rather visit Chicago than Birmingham - but the Dem governor of Illinois makes a much better foil than the GOP governor of Alabama.[/quote]

I certainly hope the Dems have you writing campaign ads in 2026 and 2028.

"Chicago is bad, but if you calmly and rationally do some mathematical calculations, Birmingham is worse!!!"

Yes, maybe the three-term Democratic mayor of Birmingham can use that for his next campaign![/quote]
