“If you want to collect from the government, this is where you need to be compliant.”

LOL! What else can one say?

Must be an election coming up.

We know the solution to “homelessness” and crime but the Democrats don’t want to solve the problem. They thrive in the chaos that these street zombies create.

It is hard to steal from the public treasury when things run smoothly but easy to steal from the public treasury when there is chaos in the streets.

I thought conservatives held mostly traditional values. Was just talking to someone about how much greater this country was when mom’s were able to be there for and raise their own kids, complete with time to actually clean the environment and prepare more affordable, healthier meals. When they could focus on starting a family rather than the “career oriented” push of modern Western society. Back before chivalry died.

My grandmother was widowed and when we cleaned out her home, I found government issued jars of peanut butter and fake cheese. No cash, no luxuries, just sustenance.

I can’t tell you how infuriated I am at seeing welfare recipients paying for their high end restaurant food with EBT cards or seeing the pregnant criminal immigrants paying for multiple grocery baskets overflowing with junk food, soft drinks and steaks with multiple SNAP cards from different states.

“Leftists always do this, once their policies get too much for the voters then they act conservative by lying. “Oh I will mandate drug testing for welfare recipients” or leftists blaming Trump for the border issue “Joe Biden has fixed what Trump did by making the border more secure”

The courts have decided over and over that required testng for a benefit is unconstitutional, so, this is a safe empty threat for a lib to make.

Why is it that the “good guys” are always getting “da backlash” from the far left’s yellowstream “media”?

The federal government intentionally destroyed the family unit, setting itself up as “daddy” and income provider.

That left daddy to take care of himself and not care about the family unit.

And mommy and the kids were reliant on big government, and did whatever they said, in order to keep the gravy train rolling.

The ONLY plan that will work is stomping out drug use through attrition. Stop saving the lives of people who persist in attempting suicide. When police have stories about having to administer Narcan to some of the people multiple times in a single day, it’s time to stop. They’ll freely admit that they’d rather die than get clean. Let them have at it.

Delusion: "She's found her administration is under increasing fire from the voters in San Francisco."

Reality: "She's found her administration is under increasing fire from special interest groups in San Francisco."

She's merely trying to improve her tough on crime creds so there will be less of a protest when Newsom puts her in DiFi's seat.

She's a black leftist but unlike Barbara Lee she is relatively young.
