It would be less stupid of Trump to just sit back and take credit for the declining violent crime rate across the board.

    More like a Federal "Crime Generating Machine" at this point in time

    Pshaw! Even Henry Ford could never imagine a machine - or even an entire factory of machines - that efficient

    Donald Trump is like a nuclear reactor fueled by narcissism and which only produces fraud and corruption

    Not the governor Pritzker actually needs my advice, but I suggest that he does not make that call.

    No, call and then mute it. Let him rant alone on the other end. Any time he spends on a demented phone call is time not spent committing more crimes against the rest of us. More politicians should do this so he wastes hours a day talking to himself.

    They always go after the states that give the most to the federal government. New York, California, Illinois...

    Meanwhile New Mexico has the highest property crime rate and the second highest violent crime rate per capita.

    Well, and Chicago literally invented the political machine. It has a very deep rooted history of corrupt politics. Even is nickname "the windy city" is based on its politicians.

    Consercatives equate bigger numbers mean more crime. They don't look at per capita or any other metric. Obviously the 3rd largest city in the US will have a higher number of crimes. There are just more people. Chicago doesn't even break the top 10 of most any crime cities in the US.
