The Vice President of the United States lies with abandon about crime rates in 🇺🇸American cities.
As between him and petulant piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre on the same question in 🇨🇦Canada, it’s hard to say who’s modelling whom.

NOW HEAR THIS… Donald Trump thinks that JOE BIDEN was still President on Jan 6 2021.
He claims Joe Biden ordered the FBI into the mob attacking the capitol.
Nice trick when you are no longer in office.

A record 29% — nearly a third! — of all new cars purchased in California during July, August, and September were zero-emission vehicles.

DC may be fine with selling out American innovation to China, but California will keep charging ahead toward cleaner air for our communities.

The season’s not over yet but it is pretty wild how lucky we’ve gotten with hurricanes in the year the federal government decided to almost entirely gut the response infrastructure even before the government shut down

How about 12 million Americans protesting on Saturday. That’s 3.5 percent of our population…and the beginning of a real response to the authoritarian disease.

"Authoritarianism, it's a cancer. The symptoms are here, today... We thought it couldn't happen here... and now the disease is growing, metastasizing in America. But there is a cure—it requires you. On October 18, Americans will stand up, peacefully, for what makes America, America." nokings.org

Obama: "When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."

REPORTER: We know the president moved forward with mass layoffs. We're also learning there were significant cuts to staff at special education services. Are you comfortable with those cuts?

MIKE JOHNSON: I haven't seen the specifics of that and I don't know

The wearing of masks to hide identity while terrorizing people who aren’t white is today’s version of the white robes and face covering.

Imagine making six figures to not do anything you were entrusted to do.

…getting paid to not work while thousands of civil servants around you were getting fired.

…betraying those who counted on you to represent them, all to appease a wannabe dictator.

The GOP Congress is a helluva thing.

Enough of this! Trump is deploying these troops in order to PROVOKE Violence so he can react even more violently.
This was lies MADNESS!
This is a King who is out of Control like George 3’rd before the REVOLUTIONARY WAR!
BE CAREFUL what you play with, Donald Trump.

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.
