Doing some wikipedia calculations I was able to figure about ~130 casualties on average every month during the Troubles. The average population hovers around 4.5 million during that time period. So .03%, equivalently in the US we'd be seeing 99,300 casualties every year or 8275 per month. So a twenty-fifth as bad Troubles would be about 331 casualties every month.

Furthermore, most of the casualties were in Northern Ireland, all but a couple hundred if I remember right. If you get an American troubles, you'll have the vast majority of the violence focused in a handful of states, primarily the flashpoints you're seeing now imo.

I would hope we would, at least occasionally, not be defending and will take the fight to them

WASHINGTON — Federal law enforcement officials were directed to make public comments sympathetic to Kyle Rittenhouse, the teenager charged with fatally shooting two protesters in Kenosha, Wisconsin, according to internal Department of Homeland Security talking points obtained by NBC News.

In preparing Homeland Security officials for questions about Rittenhouse from the media, the document suggests that they note that he "took his rifle to the scene of the rioting to help defend small business owners."

This one's the clearest sign yet that Lindsey Graham is in real, actual, serious trouble.

That money is basically the same amount that Republicans are putting into Michigan to try and get that seat. Donnie won South Carolina by 14 in 2016.

I don’t get the logic here. But maybe I’m just in the old mindset of LOL SC ever going not racist and thinking that the voters will never vote another Democrat in a state wide election
