As ICE goons invade the Bay Area, City Lights makes its opinion known

https://www.sfchronicle.com/entertainment/article/city-lights-pity-the-nation-21115378.php

One sign reads “Pity the nation whose leaders are liars”.

I am watching coverage of the Alameda protest on the local Fox channel. Protesters are walking from corner to corner in a four way intersection in the pedestrian crossings, thereby delaying vehicles who want to access the island. Protesters have a juggler, balloon animals and Motown music playing. Masked goons have thrown only one flash bang so far.

San Francisco. Of course, we all know how well the president keeps his word.

I would be tempted to act a lot differently toward him. First I'd get him to put whatever he said in writing before I released one word to the public. Just for starters. I'd rather not repeat lies to the people who elected me if I were in their position.

For this 250,000,000 $ extortion of the DOJ for “damages”, the MSM is dutifully reporting and showing the clip where the rotting mango (I like that!) claims he’ll give all that money to charity, as if any of them believe that.

To CNN’s credit they had a guy on last night who wrote a book about examining the tRump “charity” fiasco who proceeded to describe how chump handles “charitable contributions” (spoiler alert: it’s just another grift), but I’m sure most outlets just leave it at his claim that it’s all for charity. I’d like to know what happened to his presidential salary that he said he would forgo and donate.

Why would any democratic politician repeat, let alone believe anything pedo Trump says???????

Don't believe the words of filthy-rich convicted criminals unless they are telling you what crimes they are going to commit.
