My jaw dropped watching this
Reporter Matt Seedorff asks Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass about the homeless numbers, he says people don’t trust the data because they can see the growing number of encampments in LA
She literally says not to trust what you’re seeing, trust her
Reporter “There's just overall a lack of trust with these numbers. It's not what people see”
Mayor Karen Bass “I will tell you something. It is absolutely what you see”
(Excerpt) Read more at x.com ...
Check out Bass’s last election.
If LA would vote for this, why did Deep State have to steal it?
“People on this site are still in denial of what awaits if the Democrats take everything back.”
Democrats destroying the country cannot be any worse than my Senator, who once bad-mouthed Trump.
Right, Purists?
Sound familiar...?
Unfortunately...day to day....even if it’s not Trump or GOP’s “fault” — average joes associate the current party in power with TSA shutdown, gas prices, sky high healthcare premiums...
Where’s your evidence?
Good luck with Paxton vs. Talarico.
All the special elections going blue: hard blue in the already blue, but even blue or at least purpling in the red.
And furthermore, what’s your remedy? To have Trump and the (R)’s knuckle under to the ‘Rats and “reopen the government” on Schumer’s terms? To vote in “Medicaid For All” and instantly double the national debt? To let Iran get nuclear weapons so we can keep our gas prices low?
Childish idiot wishes that ultimately will HARM the republic, to win elections, in other words?
So I’m back to asking: exactly what would you have PDJT and the (R)s do to suck up to those specific voters you’re trying to win? Be sure to factor in the effect it would have on the INFORMED ADULT VOTERS in the election...
>> Good luck with Paxton vs. Talarico.
Paxton will beat Talarico like a Christmas tin drum.
Texas is not whatever blue paradise you’re assuming as your electoral model.
>> All the special elections going blue
No they aren’t. That’s hyperbole.
“Good luck with Paxton vs. Talarico.”
Given that Talarico is White, I doubt that Cornyn (usually the safe bet) can beat him as it will take going into the gutter to fight him, something that seems below the culture of the RINOs. So Paxton gets my vote, for that reason.
And I still have yet to hear you say JACK SQUAT concerning any logical plan for TACTICS to head off this electoral disaster you’re mewing about.
Just childish dream-casting about how your unicorns and rainbows fantasy US could be “if only”...
Go look up what the “ homeless “ are doing to dogs every day.
If you dare.
>> I doubt that Cornyn (usually the safe bet) can beat him as it will take going into the gutter to fight him
That, plus Cornyn is borderline senile... another few months and he’ll give Pedo Joe Biden a run for his money in that department.
I have no doubt that homeless are abusing dogs. But sorry, I don’t understand the point you’re making.
What option did they have? Voting for Curtis Sliwa?
Until we have "none on this ballot", the Uniparty will host selections, not elections, and voter turnout, as they Uniparty wants, will be irrelevant.
The Uniparty stole an election from We The People in 2020 and nothing was done about it.
* Even though the border is more secure, Kristi Noem did a lot of damage by turning ICE into a spectacle...The statistic that millions of people have “self-deported” is highly debated. The narrative got lost because instead of touting things like progress on the drug cartel front, she was...distracted.
* Trump defended H1-B’s on Laura Ingraham’s show. That upset a lot of MAGA.
* Too many Epstein files remain redacted. The Pam Bondi fake binder fiasco as early as February was the beginning of the downward momentum for Trump polling....
* Mitt Romney came up with Romneycare. I never voted for him & sat out when he ran for President...(due to how his wing of the GOP tried to ruin Sarah Palin.)
But...AT LEAST he had some sort of vision to offer his state! Even if it’s wrong?
Republicans right now don’t offer *any* alternatives and implicitly suggest they’re just okay with the status quo and that to complain is to be socialist. Well good luck with that.
* TSA shutdown...There could have been an executive order sooner to at least get them paid? The airport chaos was allowed to go on for too long.
I forgot to mention the need for stronger parental leave* measures and protections.
I’m no econ expert when it comes to solutions, but that is definitely something the electorate is hungry for.
**When my eyes adjusted to the dim light I turned to my wife and said, “you are the only female in the bar.” LOL.**
Back around 1982, my dad, a midwest farmer/corporate pilot, flew some banker types to SF. He said the first evening he left the hotel by himself, just walking among and looking up at the impressive buildings.
After a few blocks he suddenly noticed the type of people lingering along the sidewalk, turned 180 and headed right back to the hotel. He said, “those guys were tough looking, wearing leather, but looking at me like I was a woman” (a 10 year younger version of Gregory Peck, my dad looked very manly).
>> Even though the border is more secure
... EVEN THOUGH? That’s all that major feat gets? I VOTED PRIMARILY FOR THAT!!
>> Kristi Noem did a lot of damage by turning ICE into a spectacle
Oh horse hockey. The MEDIA turned it into a spectacle, and primarily only in Minnesota. ICE has done a helluva job in my state (TX). Again, I voted for that!
>> The statistic that millions of people have “self-deported” is highly debated.
Huh? Show me where it’s “highly debated”.
>> The narrative got lost because instead of touting things like progress on the drug cartel front, she was...distracted.
She’s gone!
So far you haven’t offered a single solution, just whining. Let’s see what else you’ve got...
>> Trump defended H1-B’s on Laura Ingraham’s show. That upset a lot of MAGA.
I don’t know a single MAGA that is truly upset by that to where they’d stay home and let a RAT win. But anyway, you were arguing that Trump doesn’t kiss NON-MAGA butt...
>> Too many Epstein files remain redacted.
Epstein is a non-starter among the vast majority of the electorate. The whining bitches here don’t count.
>> Mitt Romney came up with Romneycare....AT LEAST he had some sort of vision to offer his state! Even if it’s wrong?
WTF? And Obama had Obamacare and everyone HATES it because it RAISED health care costs! What’s YOUR solution? I don’t give a crap about Romney’s.
>> TSA shutdown...There could have been an executive order sooner to at least get them paid? The airport chaos was allowed to go on for too long.
Woulda-coulda-shoulda. Again, PDJT has done his level best to get the government reopened on MAGA terms. I think Johnson has done the best he could with what he had to work with. But again, you have no novel solution — just whining about a fix that HAS been applied but not soon enough?
Overall, this is loser-grade material. Frankly I’m surprised at the weakness of your offering. Guess you’ll just keep whining about problems but offering nothing better. And while you’re at it, doing your best to undermine morale in general.
I’m MAGA. That’s “Make America Great Again”. I am not ashamed of being MAGA. What you are doing is IN NO WAY “making America great again”. I do not respect that.
