I wish someone could help me understand what is going on in America. Have we been taken over? Is the Constitution no longer valid? Why do so many support these people?

“... calling Los Angeles “a poster child for the failed tough-on-crime approach.”


So according to his logic a ‘soft-on-crime’ approach should work much better.

The collection of fruitcakes also known as the NYC City Council passed a similar law last January. That “no bail, no jail” resulted in a sharp rise in crime, especially with repeat offenders. Why shouldn’t they commit the same kind of crime over and over again since they could do so with impunity based on libtard “logic”. The “logic” put forth by some passengers of this clown car was “People of color don’t have the money to pay bail, so making perps pay bail is racist”. Hey guys, how about THIS solution: Don’t commit the crime and then you don’t owe a dime. This has the further advantage of working across the board for people of all races. But the brain dead NYC City Council could not rise to the level of logic such thought would require. They’re too busy labeling any and every societal/educational/work-related requirement as “racis”, you see. Being expected to behave oneself in a classroom is “racis”. Being expected to refrain from punching out someone who looked at you the “wrong way” is “racis”. Being expected to be respectful to your boss is “racis”. And so it goes.

So if I go outside against Emperor Garcetti’s edict, I won’t have to post bail and I’ll be returned to the streets?

I have been wondering the same thing, either there is something in the water or stupidity is contagious, much more so than covid-19. Even so it has failed each and every time, yet people are drawn to that crappy socialism like moths into the flame of a candle. This of course doesn’t mean that conservatism has all the answers, as left to its own devices over time it can get just as crooked and needs to be tweaked and adjusted. But overall it is the lesser of the wo evils.

Outside money from sources like Soros and the CCP have elevated collectivist candidates to power in many of these local offices.

At super sonic speed our nation is being destroyed from outside and within. It’s rather remarkable.

I went to my house today to run some errands, wife was watching tv. There was a Ritz cracker commercial with inter racial transvestites kissing...i was floored. My wife got mad at me because I found the commercial super offensive.

I don’t know what’s going on, it’s a fast moving nightmare

said, "Have we been taken over?"

Bill Barr said it. DNI said it. DHS I think said it. Generally that China is threatening, bribing and coursing many of our legislators and courts.
The real question is what are they going to do about it? The DNI and DHS report on this comes out on by 18th this month.

Remember thaT INFAMOUS Newsweek interview in the 1970's.

Going way back then, that Evil SOROS stated that his life goal was the Destruction of America.

He's has a lifetime to be sponsoring, creating, aiding and abetting untold millions of people to put in High Places to do his bidding.

We are now suddenly seeing the full extent of his evil plans coming to fruitions where 98% of Republicans are refusing to stand up and fight for their country!

Billions of dollars and years of planning went into all of this. This is NOT something that just happened overnight.

The CCP and Soros have destroyed us from within. No, wait. We destroyed ourselves because we let them and we took our eyes off the ball.

There was a local run-off election for District Attorney here last week, and the winner campaigned on eliminating cash bail. She also has zero experience trying or defending criminal cases. I’ve been looking to upgrade my armory.

this is the KTLA website

ascón additionally vowed to stop charging juveniles as adults, cease using sentencing enhancements, prohibit prosecutors from seeking the death penalty — including withdrawing capital punishment filings in current prosecutions — and reopen at least four investigations of controversial shootings by police in which Lacey’s office had declined prosecutions.

The new district attorney said his prosecutors would no longer request cash bail for any misdemeanor crimes, as well as any felony offenses that are not serious and violent.

Defendants currently awaiting trial in jail “because they can’t afford to purchase their freedom” may request new court hearings to be released, Gascón said.

The Association of Deputy District Attorneys, the union that represents the office’s prosecutors, previously opposed much of Gascón’s platform during the campaign.

“The leadership has not reviewed the documents from the new DA, nor has the Board had an opportunity to discuss the proposals” the association said in a statement Monday.
