One thing that have bother me..... how were the protesters able to enter the building. Why wasn't the government building secured? A group of protesters are coming up the steps and the doors remained unlocked. Why? Where was security? Was was that issue never addressed by the media? I guess you missed the part where they smashed windows and doors to get in. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEEEMB0c5So Where was security? The Capitol Police were getting beaten by Trump's supporters. 140 of them sustained injuries. But yeah, I get your point. I'm not qualified to run Capitol security, but if it were up to me, I'd have my guys just inside and shooting everyone who comes inside. Cooler heads prevailed, and now Trump let the criminals back onto the streets. |

AGAIN you manage to slip in how good looking a guy is, just as you do on every "rate me" post a straight guy posts. AND your from San Fran. It's ok to come out of the closet now, even with Trump as President. Your "covertness" isn't fooling anyone.
Meanwhile, yeah, S. CA has good weather. I guess it's possible that I'm a closeted homosexual, and just lusting after guys by including "You seem like a good-looking guy," or maybe I'm just trying to be nice in the forum. Like the rules say I should. I won't apologize for that. mingle2.com/topic/249142 Also, it's not the 70s anymore, and homosexuals live all over the country. San Francisco may have more than its share of LGBTQ+ people, but not a monopoly. Maybe get with the times? |

120 out of thousands got a average of 27 months, which means none are still in prison at this time. 1500 from the jan 6 protest were arrested , some not ever entering the Capitol. If it weren’t for Trump that unequal justice would still be going…the riots in 2020 did way more damage than the Jan 6 protests. Also, one other important factor. The Jan 6 protesters took their protest to the cause of their anger while the rioters took their anger to the streets and innocent people. Where any sense in that? If you can find an example of a BLM member or George Floyd protester that assaulted a cop and has since gotten out of prison, I'd like to see it. ![]() |

When I look at the antifa and BLM riots and all the destruction done to federal and personal property and the cops attacked and others killed during 2020 in Minnesota and Seattle. No arrests no punishment, than no I don’t have a problem with it. There were over 10,000 arrests made during the BLM & George Floyd protests across the country. The "no arrests" claim has been long debunked and probably just mindlessly repeated on conservative media. www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2022/02/22/fact-check-thousands-black-lives-matter-protesters-arrested-2020/6816074001/ |

After many years of the Biden family corruption and the eveidence that points to that corruption, you chose to over look that and believe a false narrative that you dems have built up ever since Trump first decided to run for president. Your fantastic lies about Trump have not made a scratch on the man, but you dems keep pounding that BS . Keep it up and see how bad you guys lose in the 2026 elections Apparently Joe acknowledges his family is guilty or he wouldn’t have given them a pre-emotive pardon. And their acceptance of said pardons reassures their guilt. No such pardons from Trump. So where you get that idea from nobody knows I have yet to see the evidence of Biden corruption. Hunter had a nasty habit and filled out a federal gun form wrong and paid his taxes late, but lots of people do that and face no jail time at all. AS far as admitting guilt by accepting a pardon, I see your point, but Trump was promising to weaponize his DOJ--which he promised the Biden's DOJ was weaponized despite literal stacks of evidence and unrelated crimes prosecuted by state AGs, and all the charges coming from grand juries. Trump was just going to sick his DOJ on the Bidens and let the US taxpayers pay Trump's legal bills. But go ahead and share with us all the evidence of Biden corruption. And while you're upset about pardons, how do you feel about Trump pardoning hundreds of cop-beating criminals rightfully charged in court. After him and J.D. Vance promising that only the non-violent protesters (or "hostages") would get pardons? |

The Golden Age means common sense is back. america first.. no more invasion over our borders.. no more DEI insanity.. no more one sided justice and no more tax money wasted on the green new scam. We now have a reason to be confident in our future. Nope. Just more lies from the big, orange guy. It's "America first" only to the extent that it helps Trump get more bribes. Trump is running numerous scams and now that he knows how to pardon himself, there's nothing stopping him, this time. He'll take in $billions from the Chinese and Saudis, et al. His latest appears to be meme coins, but you can bet that if there's a dollar in it, trump will sell out the country to get that dollar. |

Trump's appointees seem to be nothing more than yes-men and know-nothings. Pete Hegseth claims negative assessments are "anonymous smears" even though they came from dated & named reports, including from his own mother and sister-in-law. Trump's HHS Head candidate is a vaccine denier, but that'll conflict with Trump's campaign contributions from Big Pharma, so we'll have to see how that turns out.

The Governor and Political officials' poor decision making governing lead to LA fires burning things down. USA cannot blame D Trump for this terrible disaster! Nobody said the fires were Trump's fault. Trump's just the boob sh*tposting on "Truth Social" with nonsense. He's such an embarrassment. He has no idea how to fix inflation or crime, so he's talking about raking the forest floor and invading Greenland. Yes dead wood scattered over the Forrest floor is a fire hazard. news to democrats…. He didn’t have to fix inflation, it doesnt rise under a president that has a IQ higher than his shoe size. and it makes sense to inquire about Greenland and the Panama Canal and the gulf of America.. and Canada. all worth discussing the way we do business with these places.instead of ignoring until it’s to late . And we are screwed Dead wood scattered beneath the various tress, is not any more a fire hazard than the trees they lie beneath. And the dead wood provides ground cover to reduce evaporation and erosion from the soil under that. Removing the dead wood eliminates food for the bugs and birds and squirrels, etc.. Nobody rakes the forest floor because doing that would make the situation worse. And Trump's talk about annexing Canada, Greenland and Panama are just him trying to distract you from the fact that he has no idea how to handle inflation or any real domestic issues. Trump is an imbecile. |

It’s not because it’s awesome, it’s awful.. people pay those high prices so they can say ‘ I live in San Francisco’ more cents than sense. People are fleeing because of the mismanagement of most of that state and cities. Lame out of touch politicians lead to a failure every time..
As a resident nearby, I can attest that San Francisco is a great city. Expensive, but still great. You should visit even if crowds and Liberals upset you (and I know they do). maps.app.goo.gl/YCZibgnkpm2MzYgR7 While you gripe about mismanagement, California is still better run than the federal government, and most other states. And our governor is smarter and better-looking than the president elect. Gavin Newsom is working on more housing units and getting the high-speed rail lines built, which are still being litigated by all the NIMBYs. Once that clears out, we'll get those homes and trains. |

Counterpoint: If California is so terrible, why are the homes so expensive? People across the country may point to Ron DeSantis' "Poop map" to say that San Francisco is awful, when in fact, landlords charge $6K/month to rent a tiny studio apartment because it's f**king awesome to live there!
The pricey real estate is a big reason we have so many homeless people, but that's due to the landowners rejecting any attempt to build more houses, knowing an increase in supply will cause their selling price to decrease. Also, the mild weather makes it so homeless can actually live outdoors without dying of exposure. |

B.S.. No, the firefighters aren't pouring water from women's handbags.
www.tmz.com/2025/01/09/los-angeles-wildfires-water-handbags-video-firefighters/ But there is a problem with the water. That problem being fighting fires in so many places at the same time, the pressure in the mains has dropped so that it cannot push water through fire hoses. Has nothing to do with the fish. Stop getting your "facts" from Trump. "Fire hydrants are not constructed to deal with this type of massive devastation," Bass said. "And the number one problem, especially on Wednesday, was the fact that we weren't able to do the air support because of the winds."
No air support meant immense pressure on the hydrant system - which simply was not designed for the volume of fire we're seeing in Los Angeles. abc7news.com/post/la-wildfires-water-pressure-overuse-caused-pacific-palisades-hydrants-fail/15784411/ |

I remember seeing the report that Ny ,Chicago, and other major cities run by democrats never turned in their crime reports to be included in the national statistics. And I remember seeing the Biden Administration sueing the Governor of Texas for trying to do his job by stopping illegal immigrants from flowing in. The education system is a joke thanks to the corruption of the teachers union. The states will create a better and more successful system.
No. Those cities report their crime to the FBI. ... this year’s FBI annual report is based on data from police departments covering 94 percent of the population, well in line with past participation levels. It is true that the FBI saw a sharp, single-year drop in police participation in 2021 as the bureau switched to a new reporting system. But this year’s report, like last year’s, solves that problem by fusing data collected under the new and old reporting systems. Indeed, a close look at this year’s FBI data shows that at least 80 of the 90 largest cities, including New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Washington, DC, contributed a full year of data. We can and should improve how crime data is collected and reported, and some gaps remain, as they always do in a dataset of this size and complexity. But it’s wrong to claim that the FBI’s 2023 annual data is not comprehensive.

I remember seeing inflation rise to 9% , I remember gas more than doubling in price, I remember seeing 9 million illegal immigrants released into god knows where in our country, I remember seeing the education standards here in the U.S sink to all time lows , I remember seeing a rise in crime and the democrats acting like it’s nothing, .. I remember seeing to least transparent administration ever . And I remember all the lies told to cover the dementia our president was suffering from. That’s what the Biden administration will be remember for
You think education is bad? Just wait until Trump & his cabinet eliminate the Department of Education. Most of the Southern states will drop to home-schooling standards, and home schooling will cease to have standards. Did you really see a rise in crime under Biden? National statistics indicate otherwise. www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/04/24/what-the-data-says-about-crime-in-the-us/ Maybe it's just that Texas is becoming a POS state as their politicians wreck the government to prove that government doesn't work. |
