No, come on now... The Democrats ran a clean and fair election. They did nothing unethical.

We have an explosion out of state homeless people, I mean who would wanna one way ticket to a sandy on hawaii? Cali doesn’t wanna solve homelessness it creates jobs for donors and nonprofit sector. Bigger the operation, bigger the salaries. The left are so concerned with humanity, housing and treatment centers but they don’t want it in their back yard. Lots of homeless don’t want to deal with rules of the shelters and rather be collecting money and be free.

Newsom just cry to mommy and she runs DC to get the bag…

So I've been following that Venezuelan Gangs story in Aurora. Those apartments are 5 blocks from a house I flipped in 2007. This is pissing me off for a couple reasons, the obvious being that we're giving these people money and shelter and not enforcing laws. Surprise, surprise this what we get in return. I grew up in Aurora and this has always been the armpit of the city, but I want to see it get better, not worse.

But on a personal level sometimes my work brings to the Anschutz Medical Campus which is ~20 blocks from where this shyt is going on and I sure AF don't want to get car jacked, hit by stray round, etc. Additionally, Children's hospital, which we use occasionally, is on the same campus and so is the VA hospital. I'm going to be really pissed when some vet who survived Afghanistan gets blasted by Venezuelan Gang members in car jacking at the VA Hospital. I also wanted to take my son to do some soccer training just north of that neighborhood. The soccer facility is as safe as can be because it's next to a police training center/substation, but I'd have to drive through the neighborhood or take an annoying long way around to avoid the area that has been taken over by gangs. So now this training center misses out on business from me and my son misses out on a unique training opportunity (Toca Soccer for anybody into soccer).

My work will bring me into that area 4-5 times a year and sometimes I'm there for weeks at a time and could be pulling nights. I'll actually be there next week for some training. I'm kinda thinking of driving by the apartment complex they've taken over, OTOH, they're popping off rounds into the air, I could be targeted for a carjacking, etc. I plan to get my CCW in December. I'm 99.9999% sure HR isn't going to let me CCW on site and my guess is they'll even say I'm not allowed to keep a firearm in my car while in employee parking. Personally, I've never really liked the idea of keeping a firearm in the car since some a-hole could break in and get it. Nevertheless, this is at a point where it actually affects me. I very well may vote straight R in November and I haven't cast a vote for a Republican since Bush Sr vs Clinton. Biden & Co have really screwed the pooch to get me to consider casting a vote for Trump.

So now they think they can just hitch a ride on a school bus. This shows how much they are told how acceptable their actions are. they aren't afraid anymore.

Rules and laws don't mean anything anymore.

Obama did it, but it wasn't widely televised and reported. If trump did it, there would be reports of him separating families and being racist. Remember what happened with the whole thing about them calling Trump in-humane for putting kids in cages? That's the same thing that has been going on way before Trump. They show picture of kids in cages, that were taken during Obama's era, and claim they were taken while Trump was in office. In reality, Trump was arranging better conditions for the children, but they wouldn't report on that.

In other words, anything a dem does, is pure goodness. Anything Trump does, gets blown up and actions from the devil. Trump can't afford too keep giving people something to scream about.

I get it. As a matter of fact I support separating families at the border - discourages immigration. Yeah, I understand that if one exposes oneself to only CNN, MSNBC, etc they would have no idea that Obama was "worse" than Trump on this issue. But there are other news sources and I confirmed the deportation numbers from a gov't website (DHS?). Unfortunately, everybody has isolated themselves into these "realities" that support their preconceived notions or their team's narrative. It's amazing that in an age of near unlimited information, instead we have near unlimited dis/misinformation.

So vote Trump. It's not about how people look at YOU or what they think of YOU for whom you vote. It's about who will actually make a difference for the better, a better that YOU want. You have Kamala talking about all these changes she will make............................. 4 years she has had to make a change, the changes she is talking about. Changes she helped cause. It's not a hard or stupid decision to vote for the guy that will actually make those changes.
