Americans do not have to live in crime-ridden cities. We don’t have to accept that anymore.
Democrats have condoned violence against law enforcement officers for too long, and now President Trump is doing something about it.
[….]

“…Democrats have condoned violence against law enforcement officers for too long…”

Some of the responses:

Weird how pretty much no city is “crime ridden”. Crime exists everywhere at some level. Red states have much higher crime rates than blue. The violent crime rate in your state is 28.7 percent higher than the national aveage, as is the rate for every measurable area of crime caregories. Maybe fix that. Google is free.

You will NEVER end crime in ANY of the world’s big cities; it’s always existed and it always will! BTW, all cities have crime, but to say they are crime-ridden is a gross misstatement. You can easily sell that line in rural red Southern and Midwestern regions where folks never venture very far from home. While on the subject of crime in cities, please remember white collar crime; it is not “victimless…”

Is this a joke?

Not connected with reality

We could make it harder to get guns? 🤷🏼‍♀️

There are officers called police. They take care of criminals and crime. ICE agents are suppose to go after people that are here illegally but instead they’re terrorizing the cities and being unlawful. People see what is going on and are they don’t want criminal agents in their cities.

“Missouri generally has higher crime rates, particularly for violent offenses like murder, aggravated assault, and rape, compared to the national average”.

Make lying wrong again

How Thankful were you on 1/6

Jan 6th…remember everyone

He’s another finger puppet

You’re so tough and strong and alpha.

==========

I usually dont try to argue with your kind , but just think about what you are saying , if you can .
Most republicans dont get jack from the government, they only pay taxes . Most democrats are living off the government, and their plan is to keep ushering in more and more , unlimited mouths to feed , unlimited people to take care of medically. Unlimited funds are needed for everything , yet no funds coming in .
If you remember the federal government bailed California out on day 1 when Biden took office, yet here they are again , California is bankrupt again .
You are really dumb , or you are a enemy of America. The idealogy of your party can not sustain itself , and it is a mathematical certainty it will collapse.
All the fraud that has been discovered, yet you still are on that path , you’re probably upset about the drug boats getting blown up , I could go on and on , you do know you can vote socialism in , but you cant ever vote it out , remember when the California people wanted to rid themselves of Newsom, didnt work did it .
I am not a very smart person , but I do have common sense . You ever ask a immigrant that escaped socialism about it , and wonder why they wanted out . You know China or any other government controlled population doesn’t have a immigration problem , wonder why .
Do you have any children , do you not care about the condition of their conditions when they grow up .
Ask a immigrant

the only true thing you said in all of that was “I am not a very smart person.”

=========

You make a claim, burden is on you to prove it.

Get rid of crime by being strict. Time to bring back hangings and the crime will drop. Make criminals pay.

You want me to believe that the guy who threatens judges, court workers, his victims, jurors, witnesses, and political adversaries cares about law & order, law enforcement, our judicial system, and human life?

To all of you mentioning Jan 6th, look up and watch the full unedited videos of what really went down. They are out now and over 90% of the jan 6th people were non violent and were given tours of the capital by the capital police. Look it up…

Oh I get it Senator Eric Schmitt sarcasm, this is sarcasm.

Not giving up my freedom for your fear.

There are no laws in the United States anymore. That all ended on January 6th.

Didn’t you guys just refuse to hang the plaque honoring first responders who protected the Capitol on J6?

No one wants a police state.

Baloney. Doing something is not arresting civilians who have not broken the law. And crime was on its way down in most cities.

We don’t have to be represented by criminals, either.

January 6th ring a bell?

J6? How quickly you whitewash

Sending military into our cities is hardly the solution. We should never be comfortable with that option.

I’ve been to all the big cities in Missouri. I am from a small rural town. Nothing I’ve seen in the cities shows they are as crime ridden as you’re claiming.

Almost as bad as people blocking off congress from certifying the 2020 election and condoning it by pardoning the J6 participants.

We see what you did there.

So…move

Heh.

President Trump is doing something about it, like pardoning people convicted of assaulting cops?

J6 was a democratic sherade. Trump said peaceful

Well, that settles it.

Honduran President??

Yesterday:

Senator Eric Schmitt
[September 3, 2025]
We’re not sorry. Why would we be sorry?
America is the most magnificent heritage ever known to man.
We can no longer apologize for who we are.
[….]

Some of the responses:

Wow. You are pathetically cowardly. Your people came in the 1840s? Mine came in the 1660s – indentured servants. Europe didn’t send their best, sweetie – they emptied their prisons, their asylums, their poor houses HERE. The Puritans didn’t come here for ‘religious freedom’ – they came to avoid taxes and for ‘free stuff’ – free land. Freedom to impose their own religious tyranny – Salem wasn’t an aberration. This is just an updated redux of Alexander Stephens’ “Cornerstone speech”, carefully ignoring the slavery industrial complex, Indigenous defenses of THEIR homes, the Spanish, Chinese laborers, Mexicans, and WOMEN. If you are too insecure, too self-delusioal, too cowardly, too stuck in a mythical past to deal with HONEST American history, then perhaps you should resign. Because the unique status of this nation isn’t about exclusion, it’s about inclusion – it’s about the EXACT proposition that all PEOPLE are equal before the law: that we the governed have a right to a say in our governance, that all people have the right to exist in freedom from tyranny, and to ensure that right, a system of laws and governance for ALL the People. Inherent in that proposition is change – the right to change as needed, as knowledge advances, as greater truths and facts become known, as PEOPLE change. And we DO – we HAVE. The world isn’t stuck in the 1850s or whatever magical timeframe you imagine. And if you’re too fragile, too dependent on whitewashed myths to exist in the real world, where we are all truly connected in ways we’re only beginning to understand, then please – retire to some retrograde little self-sufficient walled-off colony down in the hills and NEVER ever use any of the 21st century modern conveniences again. And FYI – GPS was developed by a Black woman.

As an adult, you should know that no one should need to apologize for who they are, but you SHOULD be willing and capable of making a sincere apology for actions that harm others, such as denying healthcare and easy access to food. Then they should endeavor sincerely to atone by helping those harmed to recover from the hurt done, and not repeating that harmful actions. By that definition you are not an adult, but you could, if you truly believed in the magnificent heritage that is our country, and realized that it was not one group of people that made it so, but many immigrants who came together with their many ideas, cultures and beliefs and worked hard to make it magnificent.

Read between his lines…he believe is was only WHITE SETTLERS who created this nation.
He conveniently omits the SLAVE LABOR of black and indigenous peoples who LITERALLY built this nation.
SCHMITT IS A WHITE SUPREMACIST.

When have you ever apologized?

What are you most proud of? The slaughter of indigenous tribes? The slavery? The exploitation of workers to benefit the rich?
We can talk about the benefits of innovation, winning WWII, etc. However, we can’t talk about those without noting the harm of laissez-faire capitalism, Japanese concentration camps, or the atomic bomb. In other words, we will stand in the way of your attempt to white wash our history.

Blah blah blah

Senator, you say: “Our ancestors would be astonished to learn that they were fighting for a “proposition.”
But what about this:
“Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.”
It’s telling, Senator, that in your prepared remarks you said: “The Continental Army soldiers dying of frostbite at Valley Forge, the Pilgrims struggling to survive in the hard winter soil of Plymouth, the pioneers striking out from Missouri for the wild and dangerous frontier, the outnumbered Kentucky settlers repelling wave after wave of Indian war band attacks from behind their stockade walls—all of them would be astonished to hear that they were only fighting for a ‘proposition.’”
There is no mention of the Civil War, or, for that matter, World War II. Where are your sympathies in those conflicts?
Lincoln would have been astonished that a member of his own Republican Party would repudiate the notion that the United States is dedicated to a proposition.
The Americans who died for the Union in the Civil War, the Americans who died in World War II, would be astonished to learn that they were not fighting for a “proposition.”
It was the Confederates, and the Nazis, who fought for blood and soil, and who rejected the proposition that all people are created equal.

Pedophile protectors? The most corrupt Congress in the history of our country? The only Congress that swore an oath to a FELON instead of the Constitution.

Trump is a corrupt sociopath and elected officials like Eric have given him all their power. Then, like Eric, they are political eunuchs waiting to be told what to do and say.

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…

You were elected to represent your constituents, not to declare that everyone agrees with your racist worldview

The only apologies due are regarding how you and Trump followers are damaging this great country.

America’s heritage is more than just crusty old white men, Eric.

Ridiculous and blind and white nazi behavior

White supremacy say what?

Eric, sorry, not sorry, but this speech is disgusting. The whites who came here were colonizers, who stole the land of the indigenous people under the guise of the lie of Manifest Destiny. There’s nothing prideful about that. This country was built on the backs and by the blood and sweat of slaves, natives, and people of color. We have been fortunate that other people groups have made our country so much better. White supremacy should have been wiped out long ago, but you people continue onward with your hateful hearts. You will not prevail, because Jesus said we are to love our neighbors and good will win over evil.

Idiot

Oh? So there were air fields in the Revolutionary War, or no? Should we ask Donald? Trump claimed that President Andrew Jackson, who died in 1845, was “really angry” about the Civil War and could have prevented it had he been president later. Trump stated that the Continental Army “took over the airports” during the Revolutionary War.
We won’t abide revisionist history.

He speaks words that mean nothing …just another trumper blabbing

I want to VOMIT listening to you and your lies. You make me SICK.

Why would we apologize for taking land, resources from the people who lived here? Surely there is no reason to apoligize for killing, raping and enslaving human beings. Only when you have no soul

You fucking racist piece of shit.

Republicans never take accountability so of course you’re not sorry for a goddamn thing. You people think you’re fucking perfect when you are the ones causing harm.

YOU aren’t America dumbass. We are. And we hate you.

Eric Schmitt you are an embarrassment
America is at a crossroads, defend the constitution. Release the epstien files so the survivers can heal. Arrest 47 and the administration. Remove ice from the streets. People will lose health insurance due to the big ugly bill.medicaid and medicare saves lives. Stop lying. Stop defending trump. Stand up to trump. Stop facism. Our country is in distress. 47 is initiating martial law. 47 is an authoritarian dictator

The definition of hubris.

You’ve obviously never read a history book.
