    1. @Carolyn Talbot And you obviously are very good at being conned by someone who is a conartist and doesn’t care at all about you or her voters. Her city has one of the worse heroin problems in the US but and her main focus is to be a thorn in President’s Trump side. You just like her should really focus on issues at hand in your current city and work with the current legislative judicial and executive branches to really make a difference in the world rather than have a political partisan attitude towards who let’s be a thorn in the side in the president’s side. I’m sure that’s really helping out San Francisco clean up their heroin issue. she should learn to govern her own city before trying to figure out how to govern a president who’s doing a much better job for the country than she is for her own city

    2. @Jake Roberts I’m sure they dont wear masks or social distance at that special pizza place in DC!

    1. @Kathleen Flacy Oligarchy is for oligarchy, not democracy, not humanity, not safety, not blah, blah….you get it. Oligarchy is e pluribus unum….get it.?.

  1. So why are farmers being forced to plow up crops and dairy farmers are disposing of perfectly good milk?

    1. @Casanova , not really. Ive seen no shortage of semi drivers in my state. And I drive 200-250 miles everyday

    2. It because they are not giving us farmers and ranchers our water right so our plants won’t grow and are animals die.

    3. Partly because they wrongly closed schools. We needed herd immunity not a Nazi Lockdown.

    1. Give it up for these ignorant trolls I guess it’s true ignorance is bliss and justice truly seems to actually be blind when it comes to these corrupt politicians and the constant [media cover(age) ups]

    2. LIZARD CHOSIMBA STEDANKO no all you trolls seem to be projecting probably your own insecurities

    3. @josh dombrowski bro how can i be projecting about how you look fool! 😂😂😂😂

    4. @josh dombrowski where’s your chin???? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

  2. This coming from a lady who spends her whole time out of Congress avoiding her job while people suffer. Her own district in California is rotten to the core with poor people and drug usage everywhere. It’s so rampant it’s actually sad. Yet she wants to talk about food when this C*** is literally eating ice cream while millions are out of work, and shes laughing while doing it. Must be all smiles when you have no worries of losing money/job/car or anything for that matter. Imagine still being on the left and supporting this type of person. Just sick. Some sick people.

    1. She sleeps well at night too surrounded by a big wall around her mansion for security yet she wants to take away our right for a wall at our borders for our protection. They do NOT care about the ppl they care about their agendas and power.

  3. It suprises she’s not trying to send all our food to China they care more about other countries than Americans

  4. You know…people who want to stay home can stay home, and people who want to work can work…

    1. @Meyaka Brown
      Those variables are decisions meant to be made by people at their liberty with recommendation from the CDC, State, and county public health departments with accurate information to provide broad suggestion for the general populace and specific recommendations for at risk populations.
      People such as elderly since 89% of people affected are over the age of 65, with 97% over 55, by recommendation not by declaration or decree of what was supposed to be a 2-3 week quarantine now being enforced as a faux law by people without the knowledge, education, experience, or apparently a council of medical experts.
      It isn’t a plague with a 100% infection rate, a 100% positive test rate, a 100% hospitalization rate, or a 100% case fatality rate.
      However one sure step in trying to weaponize opinions of others is to remove their sense of personal liberty and responsibility to decide for themselves so you can point and tell them who it is that has “blood on their hands”

    2. @wildcatter63 The “SELFISH A-HOLES” are the people telling others what to do, not the people who just want to live their lives. You can stay home for the rest of your life, no one will care.

    3. @Meyaka Brown Then more people need to get sick, many hospitals are nearly empty and medical workers are being furloughed due to lack of patents and funding. If covid was so wide spread funding wouldn’t be a problem.
      “Right now Medicare has determined that if you have a COVID-19 admission to the hospital, you’ll get paid $13,000. If that COVID-19 patient goes on a ventilator, you get $39,000”

      I’d also like to point out that Sweden had no lock-down, they seem to be fine with that survival thing. South Dakota as well, and despite South Dakota being open the epicenter for covid is NY, witch has one of the most strict lock-downs.

    4. @Stonie Tark Yeah. Pointing out to people that would rather protest/grab arms and storm our state houses that if they actually want to work instead of “Protesting” there are jobs they are most welcome to WORK AT is telling them what to do? And the people protesting that they aren’t allowed to work at jobs that CLAIM they want to do even though there are jobs out there they obviously do not want to actually go to work doing isn’t “letting them live there lives”? Even though what they CLAIM they want to do has already cost over 94,000,000 Americans THEIR LIVES is just fine with you?
      And since I know that these so called “Protesters” COULD GO BACK TO WORK if that was what they really wanted to do instead of protesting that we have been paying ahead for just this sort of emergency our entire tax paying careers, and THAT IS EVEN IN THE CONSTITUTION, not giving away tax cuts and no bid military contracts to the GOP’s cronies and donors like the REDpublicans have been doing is …?
      Yeah, what ever guy. As long as it’s your mother/grandmother/kid that is expendable so you can go back to a job that just is not there instead of working in one that is. Or better yet, getting an education and or a TRADE that would allow you to work from home or be an actually SKILLED “essential worker”…
      But that’s me telling you to actually do something instead of sniveling/claiming that you want to work instead of actually WORKING isn’t it?
      Delusional mental defectives prefer allowing our government to sell us to the highest DONOR than “Provide for the Public Welfare” with the money they have been collecting off us for our entire actually WORKING Lives…

    5. @wildcatter63 H1N1 killed 12,469 people each one a tragedy. Why no lock-down for that? I should let my small business die so i can deliver pizza and not be able to afford rent and food for my kids? Food shortages are already happening but I’m sure you don’t care about the future suffering, or possibly not smart enough to consider other factors. It’s not worth the effort trying to convince overly emotional under thinkers like you. The average age of covid deaths is higher than the average life expectancy, starvation doesn’t discriminate by age.

    1. @Tommy Truth I heard it was 1,800 pages, and there was not enough time to read it. Surprisingly 24 democrats voted Nay, or No Vote.

    1. @Tommy Truth yeah Republicans are working for us…Nothing but buncho hypocrites .
      Most of yo would been bums if it wasn’t for Nancy doing her job.
      Anytime this country got an economic crisis a Republican is the president.

    2. @ONLY THE Truth That is Funny, what is your Source? You will see President Trump is for the People and is dismantling the Corporation and the Federal Reserve!
      You have been lied to Human!

    3. It’s so obvious that regular citizens will feel cheated, that this looks like a calculated move to anger and divide the populace. That will keep real solutions out of the picture and ensure that big corporations retain a large supply of cheap/slave labor. The Democratic party is horribly disappointing. They look more and more corrupt every day.

  5. How did she become so wealthy? Last I checked politicians don’t make enough money to become multimillionaires.

    1. one word… corruption. look into her story concerning visa and big banks, when called out by a news reporter shes gets really mad and doesnt answer him. Shes SCUM!!!

  6. Ok so … she’s wearing a Star Wars look-alike uniform with gum balls around her neck and quoting Bible verses to “put someone in their place” . Ah this sounds very familiar

  7. Based on ratings from her, how is she still in power? How does she have fans. How are democrats who hate trump okay with this?

    1. McConnell reigns from the most dependent on Federal Aid by community in the Country state (Kentucky, which has 7of the 10 highest dependency on aid counties in the country and has not paid out more in taxes then it has taken in aid at ANY TIME since HE has been in office. ALL 10 are in RED STATES! BTW Ca and NY HAVE paid MORE to the Fed in taxes than they have received EACH OF THOSE YEARS… Federal Statistics)
