President dumbass has never heard of fishing nets 🤦🏽‍♀️

Definitely don't invite them in. If they don't have a warrant, they can talk to you on the stoop. And don't volunteer any information.

"Remove the criminals that the law does not permit (him) to remove" is quite an acknowledgment of federal lawlessness.

BREAKING

President Trump says he is not going to attempt to deploy the National Guard to San Francisco after a conversation with San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie.

The president says he has also spoken to SalesForce CEO Marc Benioff and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.

The Federal Government was preparing to "surge" San Francisco, California, on Saturday, but friends of mine who live in the area called last night to ask me not to go forward with the surge in that the Mayor, Daniel Lurie, was making substantial progress. I spoke to Mayor Lurie last night and he asked, very nicely, that I give him a chance to see if he can turn it around. I told him I think he is making a mistake, because we can do it much faster, and remove the criminals that the Law does not permit him to remove. I told him, "It's an easier process if we do it, faster, stronger, and safer but, let's see how you do?" The people of San Francisco have come together on fighting Crime, especially since we began to take charge of that very nasty subject. Great people like Jensen Huang, Marc Benioff, and others have called saying that the future of San Francisco is great. They want to give it a "shot." Therefore, we will not surge San Francisco on Saturday. Stay tuned!

Not the worst part of this video, but does Cuomo not understand what social workers do?

Thought for a minute you were mistaken, but then I saw that its actually over in the non-fiction column.

Guy who blows up fishermen wants the world to believe he thinks deescalation is a good idea 🙄

Trump on China: "We'll make a deal on I think everything. I think we're gonna make a deal on soybeans on the farmers. I think we're gonna make a deal on maybe even nuclear."

We are being erased in real time, our history, the laws created to protect our status as citizens. Emboldened white supremacists disparage us openly & on TV.
The President calls us low IQ.Our Dad & Moms are being kidnapped by ICE in front of their children.
We will not ignore a Nazi tattoo. No.

Cuomo is only still in the race because he refuses to take no for an answer (his women staffers can probably confirm that).

Rejin @rejinl.bsky.social · 3d

The answer is "No."
Cuomo spent years legally persecuting the women he sexually assaulted and doesn't think he did anything wrong, but "times have changed" so "you have to be cautious" to avoid accusations.
Guy doesn't belong back in public office.

Giridharadas to Andrew Cuomo: "It's been 8 years since the peak of the Me Too movement ... I'm wondering if you pursued any changes in yourself that would allow you to come back to City Hall and tell voters you'd be different when it comes to dealing with women?"
